Gaming PlayStation 4 (Console)

One thing this has got to have either at release or in an early update is cross game chat, the amount of people that moan about the PS3 not having that is enormous.
 
I doubt that it would have happened under Harrison (who you hate if I remember correctly). Why Yoshida decided to do them over I don't know.

What, that pinhead who if largely responsible for dumbing down the gaming industry and largely blagged his way through on the back of all mouth and nothing much of anything else, you know the Peter Kenyon of games, and the sort of person of runs the industry now?

The prick who couldn't get involved in a gaming discussion about classic games and the direction we were heading in, because he was a fecking moron who doesn't even play games, yet wore a suit and talked advertising terms so managed to sucker people into hiring him?

Nah, he's alright, he bought me a couple of JD's at an E3 once.
 
They should stop being Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime then. Why people want to talk to other people whilst playing a different game I'll never quite know.

At it's release some good games would be nice. PS3 had Resistance and R6V for the first 6 months. Some huge let downs

It's the one thing I want it to have that I don't actually give a shit about, I just want the media/fanboy/Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime to stop going on about the xbox having it like its some kind of make or break feature because yeah we all want to hear fat mum jokes from mates whilst trying to set fastest laps on Gran Turismo.
 
He's at Microsoft now isn't he? :lol:

:lol: That suits him well!

Seriously, I know I sometimes come across as someone who hates people, but I'm generally laid back and don't really mind anyone.

But what a prick this guy is. What a seriously slimy fecking prick.

I actually think with all his shit, he held Sony back in the gaming industry, it they really did take Nintendo on head to head and went their route of games first, coupled with their might, we might be seeing a much better future now.

But hey, next time you mention the phrase 'casual gamer' think this prick. Think of how that term and his mouth and why games are largely shit nowadays.

fecking wanker.

Allegedly.
 
He's watching you!

REDMOND, Wash. — March 13, 2012 — Microsoft Corp. today announced that Phil Harrison, video games luminary and former Sony executive, has joined the Interactive Entertainment Business (IEB) leadership team as corporate vice president with an emphasis on growing the division’s European business.

:)
 
What, you think they have any good shit at these things?

Most developers are nerds who drink the odd wine! I was lucky to get that :lol:

They must have had something better than JD at least. And I thought they would have done, to be fair.

Champagne? feck that.

To be honest though, I was very young in drinking terms and was definitely the coolest one there because I was drinking whiskey(ish) and lots of Weaste-type geeks looking at me oddly, so it was still a good time :lol:
 
This is what Sony needs....

A bit of fecking vision!

Sony needs a fecking soul.

They don't understand gaming at all, they know how to sell shit, they know how to make shit, but they just don't get it.

Otherwise they'd not be stuck scrapping with some half-arsed yankee company knocking out shit that breaks every five minutes, and copying some weird Japanese playing card manufacturer who repeats the same thing every time.

The bloke sold over 390m consoles!
 
That Phil Harrison is one sinister looking motherfecker.
 
:lol: sorry. But to be fair you put that prick and image in my head!

It was the likes of fecking Harrison that forced Kutaragi out. They wouldn't even have a gaming division without Kutaragi. No, they gave the main job to Sir wanking Howard wanking Stringer didn't they? That went well!
 
He's a cnut and him and his cronies are who we can largely thank for the shit, over-hyped dumbed down games we get today.

I really wonder how pricks like that get to keep such high powered jobs.
 
When you put some twat in charge of content into the CEO position at an electronics company, you're asking for trouble!

I really wonder how pricks like that get to keep such high powered jobs.

I am not joking, he's a moron who hasn't the first clue about games.

But he is one of the many pricks who infest the industry now, and one of the many reason's I left. Even my boss at the time, who is a slimy cnut of a man himself, thought this man needed a slap!
 
Lambs, I was talking about Stringer getting the top job instead of Kutaragi! The entire company is in a mess because it's been run by suits and not engineers. Look at the state of the TV division - this was the maker of the mighty Trinitron.

Yep, bang on.

It sounds cliched and people really don't realise it, but Programmers should still be running the show. fecking producers and all that bollocks, the amount of people named in end game credits, the amount of money it costs to make a game now. It's ridiculous!

It's already as bad as movies where people keep complaining about there being no good ideas left, everything is a remake and the actual good stuff gets overlooked by the masses. Pricks like this can be thanked for that.

I do despair.
 
Dev kits always have much more memory.

However, I did hint earlier in this thread that I heard Sony were still undecided on the final memory amount as of recently, and devs still aren't 100% on it.

You can't got putting that amount of RAM onto a console motherboard, GDDR5 itself at 2GB is pushing it - that is the amount of VRAM for the APU, and you can't stack that amount internally I don't think either. As I've said, there is 512MB for cell, and 1GB of DDR3 for another thing (this is where they could add more, but it's not really needed - it's not going to be running Windows).
 
It's the early devkit, and it's wrong. PS4 is a 3.5GB box!

I was hoping that you weren't going to say that :D

I'm no expert, in fact I know feck all about the inner workings of a computer\console, but I would have thought that Sony would have looked to have more RAM within it than that.
