Forums - Gaming - Team Ninja wants To Exploit PS4 GPGPU For Soft Body Physics

Aerys on 10 February 2014

That's why Metroid Other M was so weird...



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

This won't be that massive because the power of PS4 is still quite limited. He said in "3-4 years" where GPUs have more from everything, better hardware and are even easier to use because of some hardware-modifications. I guess they will squeeze out as much as possible on that GPU but don't expect it to do any wonders.

I don't think they are using the GPU full... they can use the ociousos units to run GPGPU... PS4's GPU was modified for this pourpose.

Yeah... this will be awesome. They can use the GPGPU to do AI and things that you laugh at Xbox One doing in the cloud. It's suddenly awesome when it drags down the overall power of the console. It's pathetic when it'll be piped in from the internet.

Are people going to start saying 'Teh power of da GPGPU?' in everything all the time?

I know I sound whiny, but this is the same exact thing X1 is getting mocked for. The massive amount of cloud compute servers aren't implemented into X1 games yet, but they will be. This GPGPU tech isn't implemented into PS4 games yet, but it will be. Cloud Compute can handle physics and AI and open world stuff. GPGPU can handle physics and AI and open world stuff.

Neither is in any games yet, both definitely will be in a couple years. But apparently the X1's cloud compute is ridiculous and a joke (after all, Microsoft only has hundreds of thousands of servers already online!) and PS4's future use of its already existing circuitry is apparently the coolest effing thing ever holy crap!

Kind of silly.

...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Comparing cloud and GPGPU is perfectly silly, they have nothing in common -_-

The cloud is indeed a joke if you really believe it can handle complex stuff, no dev would make  their game based on something so abstract depending on your connection, requiring always online.

So... no developers make online multiplayer?

If you think cloud servers are a joke, I guess you dont' watch Netflix.

Most of games are not online mandatory.

+ You're comparing cloud gaming and cloud computing, i guess you dont know they are 2 different things.

Cloud computing for complex stuff is a joke, and sorry but you are naive if you really believe it will handle complex stuff in games.
