Okay, thanks for the very detailed reply which shows how we are coming to such different figures. As for the meaning of ‘Q3 2020’, I assume that is according to standard calendar, so July-September timeframe.

How much power does the Vega 64’s 8 GB of HBM2 use? According to the informative memory video above, that figure would then be multiplied by 7-9 x for 16 GB of GDDR6.

“Definitely more powerful” was what was said. With the Xbox One, MS apparently went with DDR3 for cost reasons. Sony initially was going with only 4 GB of GDDR5 for cost reasons as well, which would have put the systems a bit closer in performance. A similar justification could be made for...

But developers are already saying that there is a notable performance difference. The memory system can have a large impact on performance as well, and there is little reason to assume that this will be the same. Even though both Sony and Microsoft used AMD components for the current console...

It is interesting that some commenters are claiming that there is going to be very little difference between these two consoles because they are both using some of the same components from AMD. Maybe that is true, but I have seen a few hints that suggest otherwise. Back with the PS3, Sony used...

I would add that rising/leaning in SOCOM: Confrontation and precision sniping in Killzone 2 are both killer uses of SIXAXIS, and I would sorely miss the feature if it was now absent.

Not being a baseball fan, and particularly not a sports fan (outside of F1), I was pretty surprised to be taken in by this series (the demo anyway). San Diego Studio's TV-style presentation is wonderful for maintaining context and rewarding the player(s) visually and audibly as the game...

SOCOM Confrontation is an amazing game I used to play SOCOM 2 all the time back in the 2004/2005 time frame, even pulling the occasional and insane 24hr session. I've been playing the latest SOCOM title for a little over a week, and I am planning on grabbing the DLC Cold Front pack soon...

I tend to get on after 11pm PST, though you might find me active at other times. I really love Killzone 2, and would really like to see what it is like in a clan (I'm in KwK) full of players with mics who discuss tactical play. I used to be a bit of a SOCOM 2 addict back in 2004, and I just...

I think you're right about encouraging players to commit to specialties as it may add stability to gameplay. It probably would not work as well design-wise for a smaller number of players (say Battlefield). I'd be playing MAG too if I could afford it, but being LTTP on this platform, I'm...

Netflix appears to be a worthwhile feature I saw Food, Inc. from Netflix some weeks ago- a friend of mine has a Netflix account. With enough bandwidth, the quality is quite good (after an early update), and using the application through the disc is not terribly inconvenient.

Until recently with Killzone 2, I haven't played any multiplayer since SOCOM 2 back in '94-'95. Yeah, this game really excels online- beautiful environments (that get "roughed up" during play), fantastic weighty feel with nuance (since the "high precision" update), intricate level design that...

Yeah, Planet Earth is quite amazing; I knew the content was going to be great, but I was not expecting it to be a technical showcase.

b3d clan for Killzone 2 Does the clan still exist? Need another member?
