Playstation Meeting, Feb. 20th

[Taelus]

I think not supporting a company you don't like is a perfectly legitimate reason. It doesn't make you the South Park WoW-nerd to not want to give money to a company you dislike. As we've seen with XB1, speaking with your dollars is really the ONLY way to make a point.

Yes, but the reasoning behind the dislike can vary. This is why the "Worst Company in America" awards are bullshit.

True, but not buying products from a company doesn't mean you voted for them in that poll. I don't buy Chick-Fil-A because I don't support them, but I'm not about to go and report them to the BBB as an affront to business.

I'm not even referring to their business practices-- someone could really just take issue with their games and how they make them now. I could see that being a totally viable reason.

I'm just not buying anything with Origins.

I thought it was a pretty interesting talk.  It's all about the history of Playstation, the difficulties in software development as hardware advances, and the design philosophy behind PS4.  But be warned that it's quite long.

Is always nice to hear Cerny talking about the industry and gaming. Thanks for sharing Kevadu! :)

EDGE should have put in the front "Where is your God now Xbots!?" instead. :P

The best part though is the PS4 + Xbone games special, followed immediately by the rest of the cover basically telling you to disregard the Xbone.

Sony PlayStation 4 waltzes past the FCC -- Source: Engadget

"Sony's PS4 dev kit passed by the FCC roughly a week ago, and now its consumer-oriented counterpart has passed through Uncle Sam's offices."

We gave hell to microsoft for this and now...

I had no doubt that some of the RAM would be used for OS but this seems nuts

[Kevadu]

Wasn't the PS4 originally supposed to only have 4GB of memory and they only bumped it up to 8GB at the last minute?  Something doesn't seem right here...

Well... yeah? Any internet enabled device with a high speed connection can.

Exactly.  Which is why the whole 'cloud' thing is nothing but meaningless marketing wharrgarbl in the first place.

This has probably be linked somewhere around here already, but I'll just reiterate it: Digital Foundry on the Xbox One's cloud.
