Doomblade94 50 Posted May 29, 2013 It's been several years since the PS3, XBOX 360, and Wii have come out. In the past year Nintendo has released the WiiU and 3DS. Just recently there have been Youtube ads announcing the PS4, and a lot of talk regarding the (infamous) XBOX One that is going to be released by Microsoft. The people at Euclideon have also developed a way for PC's to use "unlimited" resource in gaming by switching from polygonal models to individual atoms. With the next generation of video games on the horizon, I wanted to see what your thoughts and predictions are. Quote Share this post Link to post
Proxima 1 Posted May 29, 2013 I've heard it before, sounds so good and is so nice Quote Share this post Link to post
Skeff 289 Posted May 30, 2013 is that even real? if it is, then the graphics in the world will go crazy soon enough Quote Share this post Link to post
Setsail 0 Posted May 30, 2013 That video caused a bit of a stir a while ago but I haven't heard anything since. I remember notch saying it was impossible and that anyone that believed it was an idiot etc. I think it sounds too good to be true and they've been too quiet too long for me to have any hope.

Fluxy 1,660 Posted May 30, 2013 Im going to go with impossible, too good to be true. There is literally no way a GPU could process that Quote Share this post Link to post

Shadow 0 Posted May 31, 2013 XBOX One: NO, not even if you are a fan. PS4: No for me, not any games worth getting a ps4 for ( and afaik it's not that much better than ps3 ). WiiU: atm not a lot of interesting games out yet, but those are coming so will get this at some point. As for handhelds, 3DS is amazing and PSVita is the biggest waste of money there is. Also, Oculus Rift pls. Quote Share this post Link to post
Jake <3 0 Posted May 31, 2013 I've heard it before, sounds so good and is so nice This was debunked thoroughly when it first came out, and when it resurfaced. Essentially, this is only possible with EXTREMELY repetitive data. For example, in that video you can see only 3-4 different objects actually being created. As soon as you try to use more than a few textures / structures, performance will be unusable. Because of this, no games use that style of creating landscapes; it's simply not possible. Maybe for generating 2-3 models, it'd be great, but why reinvent the wheel (textures over wireframes) for minor performance increases? Also, as with the current generation, the new consoles will roughly equal a mid-high end PC on release. Within a few years, the development studios will be pushing at the console's limits, and optimising to improve graphics. A benefit of this is that since we move past the "current" generation (actually ~8 years old), the consoles approach the powerhouses that PCs are, and games will tend to be better optimised (i.e understanding that more than a few hundred mb of RAM will be available). PC is, was, and forever will be, the master race. Quote Share this post Link to post
Skeff 289 Posted May 31, 2013 Here is the reason it is called an xbox 360 you take one look at it, turn 360 degrees and walk away Here is the reason it is called an xbox one you take one look at it, turn 360 degrees and walk away that was a joke my friend told me after the xbox one announcement Quote Share this post Link to post
