GTA V
Re: GTA V
The reason you can’t have backwards compatibility is because the PS4 has a completely different architecture than the PS3. The PS3 runs on cell technology. I believe it’s 6 different processors and each processor has a specific job. You write software specific to that hardware.Twistanutz22 wrote:Count me in, especially if Uaww and pull off the game share for this title.. But if he can't, I'm still buying. I'm not getting a PS4 just yet, but I am totally blown away that they aren't backwards compatible. That just seems like a no brainer.. Hmmm
The PS4 is using the same processor that a regular computer does. So, it doesn’t have the 6 different processors doing jobs. So, the only way to get it to work would be to re-write the code or to use an emulator. The emulator would still be a pain to get working properly.
The cell technology was a bad mistake for Sony all around. This was one of the reasons why the XBOX did so well early. Nobody knew how to write games for the PS3.
The PS4 has more in common with the PS2 than the PS3. So, an emulator for PS2 games might come out at some point.
Sony purchased Gaikai a while back. It’s a streaming service and there is some speculation that they will use that to stream PS3 games to the PS4. However, that is just speculation and the service doesn’t come on line until sometime 2014 at the earliest.
………and now you know.

I wasn't missing any opportunity to take a shot at you since it only happens semi-annually now.JeffMo wrote:Trendo - I was definitely on there for the month or two that it was popular in WFC. I distinctly remember us doing a lot more racing than shootouts by the Statue of Liberty (as an example). That said, can't we all agree that it's a positive sign that I created the thread and am gauging interest? In just a few short weeks you'll get to hear my soothing voice that many have compared to that of an angel.
Current gen only, online releasing after apparently to give them a little more time to work out the kinks. I picked up Red Dead earlier this year and really enjoyed it. Never tried it online though.

Re: GTA V
The online play is pretty ambitious. Probably just want to make sure they have everything working properly before they put it out. I'm fine with that, it is a welcome change in my book. Most companies seem to just throw shit out there and see if it works then try to fix it.cougnix wrote:What is this business that the MP won't be available until October?

Re: GTA V
agree with au said, plus they probably want people to try out the storyline as well. looks great and cant wait
Re: GTA V
Ambitious doesn't appear to be strong enough of a word. Apparently, if I decide to play golf with a few friends, I could potentially be put into a situation where I fucking die while putting because Beefy's bank robbery went poorly and he crashed his car into the middle of the game and exploded while police shoot my teammates.autiger730 wrote:The online play is pretty ambitious.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Re: GTA V

Re: GTA V
So, if that is the case, I'm assuming you can just pull out your own gun and shoot the guys you are playing with.
