Looks like consoles will be holding back gaming once more. Shame. Sony should have had the decency to show up with hardware that wouldnt get laughed at in PC gaming circles.
@MoronGotMyName The Titan can easily output 4k resolutions and thats my whole point. making a game for high end specs and scaling it down to meet mid-low end hardware like the ps4 is much better than making compromised games with low res textures and detail (like the killzone trailer we saw). That will lead to faster technology adaptation and progress as well.
@beuneus12 Economies of scale. Plus, if it costs a ouple of hundred dollars more but is really future proof and provides a platform for actual innovation, not just a couple of 1080p games Im sure they would find their market.
@Heshertonfist @slblack Its pretty easy to estimate the neighbourhood of performance a 1.84 Tflops machine will fall into. It wont be matching a 2013 GTX Titan in performance let alone a decent card five years from now. My only problem is that we PC gamers will be stuck looking at low res/detail games rather than proper 4k games for another generation because of the outdated hardware sony has put into the ps4.
@Treadstone86 @slblack My concern is for the gaming industry which is being held back by casual iphone/console gamers thats all. Instead of looking forward to 4k gaming, we will be stuck with low res ps4 games being ported over to PC.
