“heterogeneous Uniform Memory Access”

You’re not seeing the picture… PS4 is awesome and its the next progression of what we expect to see in the future, as more CPU tasks are offloaded to GPU via the HuMa architecture we will see more amazing effects in games with hardly any effort on the CPU. This in turn will mean we will be able to utilise the CPU for other parallel tasks simultaneous.

Once you have a GPU that can do what Jake Bashore showed, what’s the purpose of needlessly raising the price of the system with a flashy CPU?

Yeah Sucker Punch said they would be enhancing audio so much that you need good speakers on your TV to hear all the minute sounds they blended into the environment such as hearing birds flying at night and how that makes the experience more organic, etc. Pretty sure they said to attach external speakers as TV speakers aren’t powerful enough alone to hear everything in the game going on around you to get the best immersion. If you Google it there should be an interview with them about the audio. I think Mark Cerny also mentioned it once or twice how they are enhancing audio capabilities. Let’s hope they go more in depth with that at GDC 14 or something.

I know- considering what’s just around the corner in 2014, it’s incredible to think what we might be looking at in a few years time.

That’s a really good question about the emission of sound, in comparison to ray-cast lighting. I do remember reading about some impressive ideas from the sound engineers on this game, but I couldn’t say anything about that specifically. Of course, that’s one of the things we can focus on a bit more this generation.

Infamous SS looks absolutely stunning on PS4, can’t wait to get it early next year.

Dude your a beast, and that looks so cool.

That’s pretty awesome! There will always be someone who will have an opinion on something they know nothing about. I’ve been that person a few(hundred) times myself..oops 🙂
