Daft Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 When you're that angry, what else needs to be said? Hulk is one of my spirit animals.
ReZourceman Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 "Sony have bucked the trend by not putting 802.11ac in the system"? Fuck off IGN, like you need the ability to stream more than 75Mbps (station) at any given time you morons. Maybe think about the fact that if it was to work as an access point it could (by dictat of the standard) have up to 4x4 MIMO which would do over 200Mbps nicely. All without completely skullfucking the spectrum like 802.11ac is going to do. How about looking into H.265 which can possibly deliver 4K compressed video over only a 30Mbps bandwidth? Funnily enough I think Sony will have that totally covered considering they will be employing it in... I dunno... ALL of their high end video tech. I agree 100%..... ....But only because IGN are dicks, because I have no fucking clue what you just said.

Hulk makes that quite possibly the angriest reading post ever! Perfect.
Shorty Posted November 21, 2013 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?
Sheikah Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Would Sony's store downloads ever approach that?
Cookyman Posted November 21, 2013 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.
Jamba Posted November 21, 2013 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.
Daft Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 There's a rumour floating around the Internet that Sony have bought back the rights to Crash Bandicoot.
dwarf Posted November 21, 2013 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)
flameboy Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 There's a rumour floating around the Internet that Sony have bought back the rights to Crash Bandicoot. Bit late should have been for launch would have been better than Knack!

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!
Retro_Link Posted November 22, 2013 Author 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.
Daft Posted November 22, 2013 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.
Cube Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 fathers can use it as an excuse to justify their purchase of a PS4. Something the Xbox One lacks, too. Are you sure about that?

ReZourceman Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 David Scammell from Video Gamer. I love Video Gamer. They are my favourite game people. It would be absolutely fantastic to have Crash back. Imagine a proper Crash 3D platformer this gen!
flameboy Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 I don't know if this got posted but this is the still from the PS4 launch trailer that has prompted these rumours:

Tales Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) That got to be a joke. Haven't download prices for digital usually matched RPP/defaultIin the respective country? Edited November 22, 2013 by Tales
S.C.G Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Notice how all the EA games are over £60... 'EA Games, challenge everything, even reasonable pricing' :wink: #4GetThePlayers
Jimbob Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Picked up my first PS4 game earlier, the waiting game begins.
