UMMM I like your site.... not sure what exactly it is about.... but I love all the big visuals. They immediately jump out at me. Gosh, Grand Theft Auto has been around for ever... I wonder how many years to be exact. I am going to go Google.

Thank you for supporting my site :)

"The Playstation 3 on its end had to defend itself with fanboy ramblings, turning gamers into amateur developers with more insight than the professionals."... "Fanboys to media though, have used these exclusives as reference to prove that the PS3 was more powerful, and better overall." That entire paragraph is about how ignorant he feels PS3 supporters are. No criticism of Xbox gamers whatsoever, " For Xbox 360 gamers it was just another worthy game that proved why they owned their system of choice." completely ignoring the console wars gamers thay behaved the same way, but supported the 360. So if we read between the lines the writer is basically saying people that supported the PS3 and defended it were/are ignorant, and those that play 360 wouldn't involve themselves because they knew better than that. I call this analysis a hypocritical delusion of a 360 fanboy.

I certainly hope they don't. But when specs like a Radeon HD 7970 are touted, you can bet good money they won't be cheaper than the current gen at launch.
Like I said in my comment, I think 3GB is excessive, but I've been thinking about it for the past day. Assuming that MS wants to take over the living room, like they've been saying, STB/PVR functionalities could be integrated and datastream recording and converting in the background could be possible. Only then would this require so much RAM (if multiple multimedia apps would be running in the background and video encoding would take place).
DDR3 can be used for graphics, quite well actually as GDDR4 and 5 are based off of it, but modified for larger data transfers (more bandwith). You'd only have slightly longer loading times to put the data into RAM, but performance graphically probably wouldn't be much different because of the larger memory pool (8GB versus 4) and faster access times: Pop-in and tearing on the DDR3 system would actually be less than the GDDR5 system (when the framebuffer is full, which would be more likely the case with 4GB of address space). That's why I think those specs are so strange. It doesn't make sense to have 4GB GDDR5 for the entire system when the competitor has 8GB DDR3.

GDDR5 and DDR3 are two completely different types of ram.

Example, I have a Laptop (Asus G74SX) with 12Gb of DDR3 Memory (RAM) and 3GB GDDR5 Memory (VRAM)

You need both. Therefore that statement above hold no clause.

1st of all John the next gen consoles are extremely unlikely to release at $599+. 2nd Why would a console need 3GB of ram to hold an OS unless its going to be the complete windows 8 os. (Why would I want a PC OS on my gaming console? Its for gaming I have a PC for everything else.) 3rd I will not believe that Microsoft would use only DDR3 in their console. I assume that part of it (3GB for OS) is DDR3 and the rest is either GDDR4 or 5. We shall see what they can do and make our decisions when games come out.

I just want to say, I want a console number that won't break down or freeze or crap out on my money. Dependable with performance...Great logo I would say for xbox or playstation. I know it has really been hard these days. I would say that statement says it all!! so far I don't know. but I will find out soon....

There is one thing about this that is off though and that is the G in GDDR5 (DDR5 isn't around yet though). Graphics RAM has much higher latencies because the texture and model pool is usually static during a game and when things are loaded into the graphics RAM it's usually during the loading breaks in a game. The high bandwith it provides is also not for the entire system (in the PC at least) If you want to use this for system purposes, when latencies are typically about 3 times as long as normal DDR, then that's going to cause slow downs in other areas, especially when you consider MS is going to dedicate 3GB for the OS and everything in it (which seems way too much to me as not even Windows 8 uses that much with all its background processes and redundancy/overhead), meaning everything the system provides would be readlily available at the touch of a button. If that were the same for the PS4 it would bottleneck itself with only 1GB left for the games.
I'd much rather have a system that can access the data in RAM faster (DDR3) than can move the data around faster (GDDR5).
Personally I think most of these specs are made up in part to sound interesting as there are many conflicting news bulletins around the internet. Besides, a system averaging around 1,5TFLOPS isn't groundbreaking in current PC land. So let's just wait and see when all becomes official.
And I agree, it's all fanboy fuel, mostly for the PlayStation side as they stand to lose everything looking at Sony's current financial woes. A $150 Billion in debt with a credit rating set to JUNK makes the PS4 Sony's last stand. The strongest system also doesn't sell the most persé (look at the Wii e.g.), especially if it launches at $599+.

It does sound like it's a dash defensive (from an Xbox perspective), but the information that's presented is balanced, and the author's having a red hot crack at not falling into the fanboy trap (although the reference to Sony and Move shows a lack of understanding of gaming history (there's a good article on Eurogamers talking about how it was well under development before the Wii was announced) - the Sixaxis though was definitely defensive copying on their part, and the omission of any reference to smartglass suggests they may not be able to see when Microsoft is riffing off Nintendo ;)). For me, I'm more concerned about the direction MS has been taking in recent years and looks to be taking, away from 'core' gaming towards a casual multi-function device (the rumours of 3GB of memory for RAM smell a lot like they'll be getting Windows 8 in there (it's a _huge_ amount of memory for a console OS), in some form or other - I don't want Win 8 on my PC and I sure as hell don't want it on my console) - but either way I'm sure both devices will have great games and provide great times, just like both HD consoles this generation :).

We are presently running our own Kickstarter project called SteamKeg.com,
and would love to do one tenth of what Double Fine has done. We are not a video
game, but real time geo-location games played on your smart phone (app) with true

I do Wish they would make core games that cater to the move, and not just tack on move functionality. Nintendo and a handful of devs manage to do motion controls right. see skyward swords and mario galaxy.

Interesting take on the perception of rivalries and the essence of hip-hop being a competitive stomping grounds in its grass roots. Jay Z is ever-last as far as popularity but Nas will always be the people's champ. Nice rebound from the self proclaimed I will not lose effigy. He did lose..... But he built his empire at an astounding rate. All in All a very good read.

Re: Asura’s Wrath: Anger Management

Xino — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 17:10:03 -0000

the game is amazing man and I really can't wait for it!
a game that connects with you with Asuras emotion.
when he gets angry, you will feel excited and fired up:) (because you want to kick ass too)
and when the bad guys reveal bad things about Asura, you will be surprised and also feel sorry for him.

I love it when he gets angry, voice actor did an excellent job for him!

Also to people reading, Wyezin first boss, his facial appearance is a reference or cameo to Birdie from Street Fighter Alpha.
