    oh man, what if the new xbox controller sucks and you can't use the old controller because they added hope and despair buttons.

    i wonder what arcade sticks for the ps4 are gonna look like

    are they gonna have a Share button on the front that you can accidentally hit while you're mashing your supers

    Man I hope I can just plug my 360 stick into the new xbox and it works.

    Otherwise somebody on shoryuken's tech forums is gonna make a killing selling adapters.

    yeah if i have to crack open my eightarc and put a Cthulhu 2.0 or whatever the next-gen PCB is going to be in there

    i'm gonna be grumpy

    I'm actually excited about this, even though I'm kind of underwhelmed by the software currently on display

    it was heavy on games, didn't seem like they were more interested in pushing Crackle and Hulu than core titles, they've made changes to the controller, and I love the sharing stuff

    basically what Brad said: I'm way less worried about Microsoft dropping the ball now, because it looks like Sony has their shit together

    does Microsoft have anything like this lined up before E3, or are they just saving all their big guns for E3 itself?

    This is why PC fighting games are the best, my windows machine will never not accept a usb xbox controller.

    I saw a great prediction that the PS4 Final Fantasy game at E3 will be a cross-gen Lightning Returns.

    i am going to be honest.

    I am currently over stimulated.

    Why are they using gddr5 as their system memory? That makes a whole lot of no sense. Also all this 8 gig stuff is so dumb, what are they going to do, run 5 games at a time? I gotta believe that tech specs sheet is a load of shit.

    Are you seriously complaining that the RAM of a new system is too powerful?

    Man, I am bummed about the lack of backwards compatibility but understand I am in the minority. I just haven't really gotten around to picking up a PS3 and with the way things have been looking I might actually be able to do that later this year. Guess I get to either choose between next gen or a ps3. Or just wait another year for the ps3 to hit 100 bucks.

    GDDR5 runs faster than DDR3.

    8 gb seems perfect to help future proof the machine

    when the actual cost of the thing is still unknown being too powerful is a legit concern

  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    I am also excited

    but I don't expect to be able to afford these new consoles any sooner than I got the most recent gen's. 5 years after they were announced.

    Yes but gddr5 is memory used in graphics cards, hence the G. So it's puzzling to have them use it as system memory instead.

    And UV I'm not complaining I'm just questioning the necessity of 8 gigs of ram, for anything.

    It's as if you are expecting people to react differently than they do for almost every press conference.

    Personally, I'm interested in what Sony has to offer, but I am waiting for Microsoft's announcement and price points on consoles and comparable PC build alternatives to jump to any conclusions, but that's a bit to level headed to discuss on the internet.

    ok so the real question of the day is: does the 3DS download while the lid is closed or what

    it says "close the system to resume download" but I've had it closed for like 4 hours and Fire Emblem hasn't budged from 9%

    This generation lasted what, seven years? This one will only last longer.

    This is the silliest thing to complain about.

    No, I don't think it downloads stuff during sleep mode.

    Well, technically, it is the highest selling next gen console.

    Wii U's numbers against 0 against 0 don't lie :bz

    They call it GDDR5 because it was designed for graphics cards, but it's not like it can only be used for them. It's just faster memory.

    And 8 gigs of memory is going to seem as outdated as 1 gb seems now at the end of the PS4 cycle.

    I'm sick of everything being a tiny bit sluggish on the PS3, and every new 360 update means lag out the ass just navigating system menus

    Gimme that RAM

    ALL OF IT

    it should

    the wireless is supposed to stay active while the system is closed and in sleep mode

    try restarting the download
