Posted November 21, 2013 Would Sony's store downloads ever approach that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2013 Nice to know...... BBC iPlayer confirmed for PS4 launch But will be added later on Xbox One. The full list of apps that will be included with the PS4 upon its UK launch next week has been revealed. Testing our early kits, we've confirmed that it has BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport, Demand 5, and the IGN app. The most notable takeaway from this is that the PS4 launches with BBC iPlayer, while the Xbox One does not. Last week the Beeb confirmed that it's working on an app for Microsoft's about-to-launch console "in the future," but no date has been set. The full list of apps to launch with Xbox One includes: Xbox Fitness, Xbox Video, Xbox Music, Internet Explorer, Skype, SkyDrive, Upload, and YouTube.

Posted November 21, 2013 Maybe I'm showing my ignorance here but what if you wanted to download something over a 150-200MB fibre connection, whilst also streaming a game to your Vita? Interesting question as (frankly) I don't know if the unit even uses 2.4GHz to connect to the Vita. Isn't it bluetooth? If so then it's completely different radio card and would therefore not affect the capacity. The processor on the other hand might start to struggle with such an amount of data. Would Sony's store downloads ever approach that? This however is a much better answer. Likelihood is that it would be a near miracle to get anything above a 10Mbps connection to this kind of server. I agree 100%..... ....But only because IGN are dicks, because I have no fucking clue what you just said. I could explain but I don't want the server that hosts the forum to die of boredom. In short, we don't need as much bandwidth as we think we do and creating certain technologies to get that bandwidth has a massively detrimental effect. Higher capacity wireless =/= better wireless.

Posted November 21, 2013 There's a rumour floating around the Internet that Sony have bought back the rights to Crash Bandicoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2013 NEEDS TO HAPPEN It's such a ridiculously popular franchise. From my generation, at least 1 in 5 girls have heard of or have played Crash Bandicoot, and that ratio obviously improves for guys. It makes Knack look ridiculously drab. Perfect combination of accessibility and challenge. GIMME! (with a PS4) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No its done over wifi not bluetooth. From my limited understanding there are two ways the PS4 lets you do the remote play. The closer range one kind of turns the PS4 into a wifi spot and the Vita connects to that and the other one if your wifi is good enough connects it to the router so you can play remotely from anywhere as long as its a good enough connection at both ends.

So same radio card. Wow, that's not how I would have designed it but ok... Still don't think capacity would be an issue though. There's plenty of bandwidth for everyone!

Posted November 22, 2013 I dunno, at least Sony have learnt something from Knack now, that half assed 'platformers' (read 'walking down corridors') don't cut it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2013 Kack's sole reason for existing is that so at launch, fathers can use it as an excuse to justify their purchase of a PS4. Something the Xbox One lacks, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Was listening to - Chet And Jon's Reassuringly Finite Gaming Playlist - this is a fantastic British podcast where two veteran professional game reviewers discuss the top 10 games theyv'e both played/reviewed that week. Anyway things took an interesting turn when it came to Battlefield Chet had been playing it on the XBone and was bitterly disappointed that it runs at 720P - he says it made a massive differerence and also said the game struggled to keep a constant frame rate. Because of this and COD he was very unimpressed with the Console. Now you might think I'm spouting off some fan wankery here but as I said these guys review games for a living so have a listen and make your own mind up. Here's the link - http://www.thefiniteplaylist.com/ I thought this was useful for people who are getting PS4's later. 6 Days to go!
