I think it will have to use blu-ray because if they're going to push it as the only box you need under your telly, it's going to look a bit lol if they don't support what is now a mainstream video format.
Next generation of consoles incoming. •

I find it easier to download a film than walk across the room and put a dvd into a player, I just assume that the people who do are living in the dark ages.

It'd be a complete and utter waste of effort, time, money and electricity, but if the 720 has an HDMI in / plugthrough capability, then yes.

The 720 could potentially connect to the 360 as a controller, and display its HDMI video output.
Complete waste of time though. There's no benefit whatsoever. -

Yeah I'm sure Sony can also manage to do a global launch with one console for each major territory and then fuck all inventory for the next 3 months... Just like ms didUltrasoundwave wrote:
But at the same time in all regions? I think it's pretty obvious neither will want to let the other get a jump on them but has Sony ever done a global console release? MS did it on the 360 if I remember right.
Todays speculation?
Both next gen consoles to release in November.
If it ends up as both launch in November but we don't get one of them until Q1 of the following year in Europe that will be a blunder I think. Unless of course they both do that.a Nexus a day keeps the apple away

Registered 8 years agoOne thing I was just thinking of... banning used games will almost certainly result in a shrinking of scope for games, and even more of a reliance on sequels and usual formulas.
If you can't get rid of a game, you are stuck with it, making people much less likely to take a risk on a title that isn't one they know or in their usual genre. -

Registered 8 years ago@Rodney Well firstly it might not increase revenue, as people won't be able to trade-in their old games. Which actually would have a negative effect on frequent series games (Fifa, COD).
Now I could buy a game for £35, and if it's not my thing, trade it in and get something else. But if I can't trade it in, it means every purchase I make I am stuck with, so I'd be less likely to buy something different. -

Not sure I buy that argument. I don't work in games so I don't know, but I strongly doubt anyone coding games writes in assembler any more, except for select optimisations in very very deep core functions. AIUI the PS4's going to have a slightly different architecture than PCs that eliminates the northbridge (though I'd have thought all of AMDs APU solutions would do something like that...dunno). Details like that, and GPU specification have a big impact on optimising your games - something that's not worth doing on PC to the same degree because of the variety of setups out there, but very necessary on console games. The particular instruction set the CPU chooses to employ seems about the least important thing in the system to me.
Well, that's to be expected with a move to x86-64 CPUs. I mean, it should, SHOULD, be just like programming a PC. Both should.Cubby didn't know how to turn off sigs!

Registered 10 years agoNeat that you can play while it installs the game.
Games are tied to your account, no disc needed after install.
Updates everything in the background.
Sounds like a more seamless part of Steam.
If they can follow Steam sales if used games are getting canned, might be less of a bitter pill. Don't think MS will have a bad offline mode though so the always online thing shouldn't be the doom and gloom it sounds like, more like updates my games and stuff.
Kinect however, all the time, watching.... -

Registered 4 years agoYou could just turn it towards the wall, or have a little cover for it, if you're worried about Kinect watching all the time. It's no big deal.
I'd happily swap the ability to buy used games for a more Steam-like experience on a console. It doesn't bother me on PC.

Registered 11 years agoI'd doubt it. I'm not saying it's impossible, but they stand to lose money on DLC sales and so on.
It'll more likely remain as demos.

Registered 11 years agoThe latter is more possible, but rentals proper are still a nope. There would be uproar if people were charged hundreds for a game they'd played 20 minutes of, or were stupid enough to buy DLC for and lose the lot. It would mean the devs would have to create a new version of a game with parts that allow expansion disabled, which in the publishers mind are not relaying a full gaming experience.
It would be too complicated to keep within the realms of friendly and workable.+1 / Like / Tweet this post

The ground for rentals is kind of being laid by PS+. You get to keep all the games as long as you keep the subs up, with most of the 'free' games being older ones that just happen to have DLC released that month.
