Tonight's PSP2 announcement makes one thing completely clear.. Sony is still not afraid to launch bleeding edge, huge systems.. Expect PS4 to be a monster

Tahir: For nostalgia's sake of just how crazy this place was back in the PS3/Cell rumor days I don't think I can ever change my sig! Memories... Phil: I'm not in contact with Vince but this place is simply not the same without him haha.. I have a feeling his eyes will catch this thread in...

Hey guys, it's 2003 all over again and I'm baaaaack

Few things It would be absolutely suicide for Sony to release a PS3 3.5 in 2010 or 2011. Expect to see a PS4 no earlier than 2012 with a most robust Cell processor(1TFLOPS+), an expanded GPU which I think will be a more custom SCE and nVIDIA built with cell elements, not just an off the...

I think that Uncharted 2 will have a bigger improvement than most people think. 1.5 times the geometry around the board, all of the game textures rivaling Uncharted's Elite textures as seen in the fortress level and Chapter 8, etc. My reasoning for this is the fact that naughty dog has basically...

I don't doubt 60 fps in most situations... 1080P native? Yeah, I do doubt. Not happening.

Pana.. re-read my earlier post!

I am the last person in the world to doubt STI's abilities to create a monster CPU, as many of you already know ;) However, I am a lot more conservative with regards to the specifications on the PS4 because of a few things. 1. The success of the Wii, things will be different going into next...

I should have emphasized the custom "to a degree" part of my post much more. I do not expect a completely custom GPU, just one with more interoperability with the CPU and some fast SPE's tacked on for shader ops, etc. This should not hinder backwards compatability. As for CPU, I fully expect...

With regards to the Playstation 4, you're looking at a 16-24 core enhanced Cell based processor which I am going to dub the Sense Engine. Probably looking at 1.5 TFLOPS tops out of this thing, Kutaragi is out of the picture; the moon missions are over. They will try to sell this thing at 400...

I can see Uncharted 2 being set in Egypt, with drake searching tombs for some thought long lost treasure. Imagine the beautiful oasis's ND could create as well, complete with heat effects and mirages!

Omega boost was up there with the best looking of the PSX games, 50-60fps to boot. It used the GT engine from what I know. MGS also was incredible for it's time. Other notable mentions include FF9 and Vagrant story for sure.

Should SCE and Toshiba outfitted e-DRAM on the BE or visualizer type GPU, they would have hit at minimum, a TB/S.

Does anybody know if a proper Disk based sequel is in the works for 2008 as well?

Is it just me or does the Fortress look head and shoulders above most other levels in the game, all the textures are just of incredibly high resolution. That entire level is just breathtaking from start(scaffolding wall) to finish. This level demonstrates the best looking 3d graphics to date...
