@get2sammyb i also noticed red roads....or roads that split off from the track.....so many of these tracks have the same layouts but extend to other areas.....they honestly could make an open world game.

I am excited for the crew, but nothing has ever beat the original sense when i first played test drive unlimited. It wasn't complicated no over tuning, no insane modifications, no body kits..........just simple open world racing and it still is to this date the best open world racer i have ever played.

For each country, there are many miles of landscape, loaded with authentic local detail. Most of the circuits are inspired by real-life roads and the local street racing routes the researchers learned about. "All the detail we're putting in is equivalent to PC first-person shooters," says technical art director, Alex Perkins. "And then we're throwing a whole dynamic lighting system over the top."

As Perkins shows me the India circuit, he points out a drive along a river bed, through a valley of looming rock walls and out along a concrete overpass: "We've picked locations; and seasons that are indicative of the locations," he says. "I can think of three roads that we went along in this location that looked just like this; it's about capturing the soul of the roads and the networks". The seasonal element is important. Apparently, all the vegetation is accurate to the locations and the time of year – even the cloud movement is all real ("With summer clouds in the UK, the average lifespan is about eight minutes," Perkins points out nonchalantly at one point during the demo).

please be open world....it just sounds so perfect for it!

In the gameplay demo i saw so many branching roads they literally could half throw in free roam and it would work.

infamous uses the touch pad from what im aware its how you absorb the smoke for Delsin. You put both thumbs on the Pad and he uses both arms to absorb smoke.

Also if they could incorporate a way to use the keyboard with the touch screen for sending messages......that there would justify the controller alone. Adding a swype like function would be very, very handy.

Also lets not forget all the sports games that could easily utilize it.....I mean fifa on the Vita without that goal point precision kick using the touchpad just wouldn't be fun. I love playing Fifa with a touchpad....it makes the precision shots just that much easier and enjoyable.

Delsin’s smoke power is replenished by absorbing smoke, similar to Cole’s ability to harness electricity. However, it is noted that smoke is far rarer than electricity was in the previous two games in the series, meaning that a more thoughtful approach to combat will be required. Interestingly, smoke is absorbed by using the DualShock 4’s mysterious touch pad.

@lvnlavitaloca and we ran out last month and its been on and off since then....with the remaining stock if they do open back up going in mere minutes.

@Kayoss that's why i feel sad for xbox owners as they are limited to that 500GB HDD....also there is a reason its got 3 usb ports anyways because everyones going to be forced to plug in an external just to be able to keep up with the size of games.

also any laptop hdd should fit as normal....just like on the ps3's. What I want to know is the read and write speed.....because 5200rpm's is not going to be enough to record the last 15 minutes of gameplay AND use the HDD at the same time. So i wonder if any 5200 drives will be compatible with the system.....but either way its 7200 or no go for a standard HDD for me anyways.

btw 420.4GB out of the 500 available, so that means UI and Video Recording use about 80GB of the systems HDD......I'm guessing then its not full 1080p recording but 720p compressed, because 1080p RAW......is nearly 2GB per minute at 15.....hm maybe full 1080p guess it wouldn't be too bad. But even then there is nearly 50GB that the System uses....I'm guessing most of it reserved.

If the PS4 does happen to record 1080p RAW then it will be nasty clear compared to the xbox ones 5 minute 720p format.....which is so painfully compressed.

also system version tells me this is near launch UI because the version is in fact 1.0 and not 0.9 or under. So there already is a finalized version of the UI in place although stability will probably bring out the rest giving us 1.1 Full on launch night.

Also as soon as he hit play on the game....it instantly started recording....so even from the opening splash screen that auto 15 minutes starts there, which means you start streaming instantly on game opening. It's noticeable by the video tab popping up on the right side of the screen and showing red when they launch the application.

Also turn off PS4 actually says to use this option before unplugging the AC cord.......so they know people don't want there systems on 24/7 and even prepared for it......Sony has thought a lot of this through VASTLY.

Damn they took it down already

Edit:nvm

This next generation powered by that much ram is going to be amazing. The average loading time for 2k13 digital download is 25 seconds to load a game......2k13 on the pc has a 2 second load screen......its just so much more immersive when you don't have to wait so damn long to do something.

YUP release date announcement incoming for sure in two weeks.....this pretty much guarantees it.........October 29th here we come lol

been playing this the last week and must say its probably my favorite tales game since playing tales of symphonia on the Gamecube.

I liked and hated the ending at the same time. I hated that the game ended so soon leaving it open for the player to decide, but i did like the interaction between Joel and Ellie at the end because you knew, that she knew he was lying about them giving up on the cure. But ellie decided to just accept Joel and I think knew that he couldn't give her up like that, after he opened up to her about his daughter.

It was truly a very emotional ending though, i remember going into that room with Ellie laying on the table and if I was Joel, I wouldn't have been able to sacrifice her either......selfish sure, but you have to think about what he went through with his daughter in the opening story.

BT and hitman are the only things im interested in, kind of a weak month compared to EU.....how does EU get this

Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Mafia 2
Spec Ops: The Line
Lego Lord of the Rings
When Vikings Attacks

that line up right there is an amazing month

@get2sammyb whats considered generation btw? Because Skyward Sword AND Twilight Princess were both on the Wii......just like the end of this year with BF4, AC4, and Watch Dogs............could they be considered for both generations....or do you just take the newest if you personally were going to do something like this?

lol not one 360 exclusive in that list............thats sad, although Skyrim without mods.......yes its very overrated especially after they treated the PS3 users like crap.

EDIT; I replaced my swear word lol

i agree with everyone here an october 29th date would be perfect, however would watch dogs be considered a launch title 3 weeks from then? I really am looking forward to watch dogs day one of PS4.

lol wow pikmin 3 already dropped below a game 2 months old.....tells you how insanely small that install base must be for nintendo.

As much as the nintendo fans keep saying games are on the horizon, as a third party machine though its not looking good at all.

Maybe Nintendo though needs a shortcoming generation in order to make them back into the amazing powerhouse they once were. Everyone remembers which system had the most RPG's of all time since the PS2 and it was the SNES by far.....by gosh there are years worth of play-ability on the RPG's that consoled had.

Kind of like how the PS3 was in the first 4 years, and this time around Sony seems to be the one ahead because of the lessons they learned.....Nintendo didn't have that issue with the Wii....i mean its almost nearing the 100 million mark as we speak and will most likely hit it. But this Generation I really did think they came out way to early and should have spend an extra year putting some more tech under the hood, instead of the system being a third of the power that my gaming laptop provides.

@BarrettJChris so drop support for games that were originally developed for an audience of 80 million plus players to new consoles of 8 million and risk losing millions in revenue and possibly never see sequels......yes sounds smart.

the Wii-u version is barely going to look better than the PS3 or 360 version......its all going to be how good that touch pad is going to play out for it. I have it pre-ordered for PS4 and cannot wait to finally waste my life. I mean we are getting really spoiled this year, first GTA V than we get another insanely huge open world game in Watch Dogs....this is probably the biggest year of october/november releases in the past decade.

I love how Square Enix blamed Tomb Raider and Hitman for their shortcomings earlier this year but never mentioned the millions going into FFXIV and now FFXV plus kingdom hearts as well in development.

Tomb Raider and Hitman both sold near 5 million units that's not chump change lol

Now tomb raider gets a sequel lol.......uh Squeenix you just, uh facepalm

got 2 pre-ordered Sammy, one for me and the little brother is getting for Christmas.....its going to be hard to keep him from buying assassins creed and watch dogs on the inferior tech though because he really loves those games, especially assassins creed.

omg its so beautiful!!!!!!! I can't wait....this is going to finally put suckerpunch on the map

they really need to put crisis core, and birth by sleep on the market......its driving a lot of people to not upgrade because you can only physically play those games on the psp.

there is no way the game is going to look like that trailer if its an online game.....no way, the amount of resources that would demand for it to look that good as an mmorpg would be insane. I mean not even my GTX680 would smoothly run it maxed.

I am really interested to see how this turns out as i loved the way the supposed live gameplay trailer looked. I have to be optimistic because i really do want games to look that fricken amazing in the future on a console running the specs we are going to get.

extra units day one? OMG I totally am expecting an october launch announcement at gamescon......it would blow Xbox One away since Microsoft is already behind on production and rushing to get units available. Go in on black friday and see parents buying PS4's left and right for their child that wants killzone or Knack this holiday season lol.

@Ginkgo titanfall is available for pre-order obviously no one wants it lol, also project spark isnt up there either and that game actually looked the most interesting for xbox.

for anyone that doesn't know 1 point or percent = 10 million in sales..

so killzone shadows fall is at $303 million in sales already on pre-orders......thats amazing for an exclusive.....actually thats REALLY AMAZING FOR A LAUNCH EXCLUSIVE. In fact Killzone Shadow Fall may be the best selling launch exclusive of all time......but seriously call of duty ghosts is still at $800 million min......how to people buy the least innovative shooter this time around.

Glad to see watch dogs at $700 mil thats awesome to see a new IP take off like that.

October 29th launch date......that mic doesn't just drop.....oh it fricken explodes.....and then microsoft will really be rushing for launch.

journey would have took about 6 hours to platinum if it had one.....

reminds me of the Avatar game when the 360 first came out.....1k gamerscore could be acthieved on that game in 3 minutes.....all you had to do was perform a combo of 50 and wallah 100% game achievements.

They need to have a multiplayer platinum for those trophies instead.....i hate have to do stupid gimmick moves in multiplayer just to hit a trophy......

capped internet is another huge thing......all these companies want us to go digital but yet ISP's introduce bandwidth caps. Caomcast for now has removed the cap.....i can see i already went over for the month but it states under my usage already of 750GB of data that the disclaimer has changed to cap space at this time is removed

I knew these caps would only be temporary now only if mobile carriers can stop being such greedy BAS*****.....honestly its so stupud, i have to keep buying phones at full price to keep great coverage and unlimited data to boot.

@TOMBOY25 lol really? not even Halo 3 pulled that feat off?

@Snorky nothing can really become like another game, its like stating every mmorpg its going to be the world of warcraft killer.......never happens every game is great in its own aspect, i try not to compare them to others

I'm actually starting FUEL all over again............seeing all the crew gameplay videos made me want to play a huge open world racing game. I remember it on my 360 was a lot of fun spending hours getting to the new hubs.

it was $6 at gamestop lol

btw if no one saw

Access speeds:

Xbox One @ 30fps: 2GB per frame
Xbox One @ 60fps: 1GB per frame

PS4 @ 30fps: 6GB per frame
PS4 @ 60fps: 3GB per frame

The PS4 memory setup is as simple as can be to program for and the amount for games is being roughly 5GB as well with flexible memory
With the Xbox One the devs will have to code logic for juggling data between the 5GB of DDR3 and the 32MB of ESRam for bandwidth important functionality (that will still be drastically slower than on the PS4).

yes PS4 can easily handle the Next Gen Experience no problems.

while sony's xmb got faster microsofts console to me actually got slower and worse when they added all that NGE stuff. I have a feeling about 1.5GB will be reduced over the consoles life giving devs full access to 6GB at the end which is plenty. Tomb Raider on computer used 700MB of RAM with my 2GB GDDR5 card = 2.7 GB that was still 2GB off of the full PS4 power.....believe me no games are going to use all the memory unless of course Bethesda touches anything on the console. Bethesda is the worse company ever to exist for optimization of games. It's also a reason why it runs clunky on my GTX 680 with just a few mods. I love Elder Scrolls.....but Bethesda really needs to take some programming classes BADLY

@get2sammyb wait self-publishing won't be there either......uh, this is a PR wreck for MS yet again lol. Everyone sees it as a positive thing but what if it never happens or gets sorted out correctly when it comes time for implementation for them.

Sonys doing the right thing by just lending dev kits out....to me its more personal because even then a company still has to buy the Xbox One for $500 while sony is giving hardware away for free.

The company said the debug portion of the xbox one won't be available at launch, the followup statements by Microsoft are almost as long as the initial story because of how bad there PR's are.

@feilyteiru yes, your correct operating temperatures are the ranges in which the device should be in. 5 being the min and 35 being the max. any higher will cause issues for the system. But these operating temperatures do prove that it does run cooler. and basically if your console gets warmer then your body temperature you might have a problem. But 35c is very low most computers idle at 30 hell my graphics card hits 60+ and has an operating temp up to 95 Celcius.

So I'm kind of worried because that means either this thing is loud with its cooling or its just going to overheat when real stressful games on hardware hit the market.

Ps3 grilled steaks, ps4 serves ice cream lol

its VERY possible and now i believe the October 29th launch date.

also 2.75ghz clock speed is very impressive for the price point and the fact that it does have 8 core in it......damn its even more powerful now then i thought lol.

Since its an APU doesn't that mean that the graphics side could be that impressive and as fast as well. I mean my GTX 680 is at 1.2Ghz....roughly have that clock could be the GFX card. Damn wouldn't that be awesome PS4 is capable of surpassing the GTX 680 due to its architecture. The next 7 years are going to be much more exciting then the last 7.

Yes, more units maybe in just the US.....but Sony will be both ahead in EU and USA total because the started production almost 2 months ago.......and Foxconn is insanely fast at making products over 1 million units easily a month at that facility. Foxconn also makes ipad's and iphones. Remember PS3 was short because of the Cell, we are now using EASILY obtainable 3rd party components in the PS4.....easily going to be the most available console of sony's launch. I'm an analyst because I analyze things........including how many ants my die at my trap a year, how much money i need to spend on food......XD

I'm going to say 10 million units for PS4 at launch for EU and USA.....sounds about right.

That analyst isn't lying though..........X1's will be everywhere with no one wanting one....so technically for the free crowd there will be plenty available XD

@rjejr just stream it to ustream or youtube.........and your HOURS of gameplay will be there for the world.

15 minutes to me is plenty but the xbox one 5 minutes.....thats not even enough for some of the fighting matches that happen lol

The only one I would pick up is if they re-did the original most wanted as a HD Remake for the PS4.....and im not just talking about upping the texture count but like what kingdom hearts is going to be....a near remake.

For anyone that doesn't know the original kingdom hearts code was actually lost they had to take a retail game to get some info they needed but most of it has been re-coded as well......reason why i think if i remember KH2 combat system is actually going to be in it.

Thats what i call a real HD remake

still 13 hours to go, i got this one watched to see how far it goes but HOLY CRAP!!!!! OVER $900

also seller has no feedback lol

@Paranoimia well square enix's game are PS4 first, ported to xbox one at least thats how FFXV was stated.....so I don't think its all companies.

glad to see ace combat back to PS3 Exclusivity, I really hope though its just flying aircrafts and not being a gunner or heli like in the last one.

Namco needs to return to the roots of what made AC 4 & 5 so amazing.

@TheRealBatman which i find to be stupid because infamous actually released before prototype

Sonys engineering department for sound is probably one of the best for sound with price point.....plus the pulse app is the coolest thing with profiles for games.

The amount of studios that Sony has is almost overwhelming

I hope all USB ones still work I dont feel like buying Astro A40's again.....

I CALLED IT!!!!!!!

I have a jailbroken PS3 and It's so easy to abuse trophy's, I knew this was going to happen...

my account only has like 976 trophies only 15 are gold......841 bronze....lol thanks gamefly
