[Rumor] Sony to drop exclusive bombshell announcement


Recommended Posts

Exclusives are so lame - I don't understand why big names even bother.

In the other thread, FFXIII for 360 has 40% of the vote now surely those sale numbers would far outweigh anything Sony or Microsoft could offer a developer. :angry: I'm certainly not going to buy the other console just because of one game, no matter how good it may be (I still haven't played MGS4, God of War 3, Uncharted 2, Little Big Planet...)

I'm sorry but the God of War series and the Uncharted series alone are worth having a PS3.

I know they're bloody phenomenal games, which is all the more reason why it doesn't make sense for them to be exclusives since they'd bring it way more money if they were on multiple platforms. I already have a Wii collecting dust between titles so I don't need another console. =\

*mouth waters*

Its not even funny to jokingly get our hopes up!

birthday & veteran tag.

*bow* well done, sir.

The studios are outright owned by Sony, which is why they're exclusive. And the fact that they're exclusive is about 60% of the reason they are such phenomenal games (same goes for 360 exclusives as well) -- most (not all) multiplatform releases are held back by having to factor in each hardware's weakest link. And a smaller dev with a new IP, like Media Molecule, was helped by not having to expand their resources for a multiplatform release.

TimeSplitters :D

/dreams alone

Free Radical (now called Crytek UK) have already announced & confirmed TimeSplitters 4 last year. It's on hold for now until they think the market is ready for it. Or some BS like that...

Personally I don't rate them as a very good studio anyway. I mean Haze...c'mon :no: TimeSplitters wasn't much better either. Probably going to get lynched for that last comment, but it's success was only brought around cause it was the only FPS to make do with :p

100% agree. Lets get lynched together :laugh:

GRAND TURISMO 5 !!!!!

:laugh:

Half Life 2: Episode 3

Portal 2

PS3 exclusives.

That would be a bombshell and would raise alot of PS3 console sales.

mmm impossible not to see them on PC, and Valve never hide their PS3 hate, so no (N)

    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
    • They've told outlets who got review units that it isn't. Partially because they believe that contributes to closed ecosystems. GamersNexus also believes this is because Valve's fighting a monopolistic practices lawsuit in Europe right now. They've also never subsidized any of their past hardware efforts and well, they definitely aren't subsidizing the Steam Deck right now.
