It's out

Infinite, Chinese chars (the specs were leaked in a Chinese forum), today is January 8 and the game released today on windows 8. But I'm just making my jokes out of the extensive appearance of 8s in the specs.

Edit: whoops - wrong quoted. I wanted to answer the "I don't get it"

They cant say reveal anything, especially now when upcoming consoles are not even official revealed to exist. Anyone who wants to announce new game, they can MAYBE showcase PC version, but even that is rare].

lol 8800 graphics? That's pretty awful. I mean I had a 8800GTX and it was a good card for when I bought it (years ago). But it would never be able to run games at a high level.

Nice troll!

/god I hope it was;p

I guess that they're referring to the box in which the characters are. So, "Infinity Box" or something.

Thanks

I would not mind a game like that. I wouldn't even mind having an extremely detailed racer running at 30FPS. It would be so close to watching a movie.

The Jason · Jan 8, 2013

its funny that all the 8's make it seem more legitimate, due to windows 8 and the code-name being loop or infinity.

I think Xbox ∞ would work well

Will be a different name though

If the 8 core CPU is anything to go by what is the closest counterpart on the market right now that would deliver similar performance? :3

*curious*

Lets hope Sony matches some of this, and still have a more balanced library.

Sony needs to be equal or better.

With these specs there is no reason to not be 1080p at every game.

T'Zariah · Jan 8, 2013

So, no bullshit, based on current rumors, which console is expected to be more "powerful"?

Relative to the power difference in the 360 and PS3?

msdstc · Jan 8, 2013

wow absolutely beastly... Hopefully sony brings it as well, like the exclusives a lot better on the PS.

They can talk about next-gen games, they just can't say what platforms they're on besides PC.

See Star Wars 1313, Whore of the Orient, or Cyberpunk.

I believe there's not enough info on the PS4 yet to say anything concrete. At least from what I've seen.

My guess is that there will be minor differences in the larger scheme of things similar to this generation.

Sony would have to be really stupid to launch in the Eurozone in 2014 if MS manages 2013.

So, 2014 in Europe for Sony it is then...

Europe will wait for the Sonybox no matter when it comes and no matter at what price.

I'm glad the European region is there to support Sony. Competition is good. It's why we're seeing the alleged specs we are right now.

I don't doubt for a second that if Microsoft didn't have to they would not put much into this next console at all. Although that's kind of a no brainier.

statham · Jan 8, 2013

very nice specs, 640gb HD very nice. W8 kernal means great PC ports both ways.

well I was referring to the fact that one of the main people behind PGR joining Evolution studios. I think we will see a new direction from their next game.

If this rumors are true, that means AMD gave MS one hell of a deal.

Most of them are at Playground Games. And Forza Horizon definitely delivered.

No really. Jaguar cpu and a mid tier 8000 series gpu should be fairly cheap compared to cell and xenos.

I'm pretty sure that AMD will have co-designed the GPU but MS will own the rights to the final bespoke design, just like with 360.

I would love to see a game that looks, sounds and plays like PGR but I hardly think that just one guy from Bizarre can achieve all of this

I'm not an expert but those specs have nothing 'oh my God it can't be possible' from what I have understood. In theory even sony should be offer something of comparable without great problems but who knows.

I think this gen lasting as long as it did, gave us more leeway for a bigger jump than what was expected.

Kaako · Jan 9, 2013

Good stuff. Now let's do Orbis next!

This is strange to me. Is there a reason for this? What about Europe makes the people there so "loyal" (I use that term loosely) to Sony?

Reiko said:

Absolutely. If this happened a couple years ago it would be a different story. Considering the current economy, I think it was very wise to hold off as long as they did. Looks like it might work out really well for both consumer and console manufacturers.

If these specs are legit, someone needs to commended with the good balance they appear to have stricken. Looks perfect for what's actually practical IMO.

eso76 · Jan 9, 2013

So what do we know about the hd 8800 exactly ?
Rebranded 7800 or not ? New card ? Average ? 2,5 tf ?
Those cards are not out yet from what I understand, and all I can find is a leaked document from last September that's not even accurate.

Branding. The name "PlayStation" is synonymous with "video games" in Europe. It's what everyone knows.

Sony's marketing for PlayStation in Europe is also pretty superb.

metalslimer · Jan 9, 2013

So what are people thinking about in terms of pricing for this? I was thinking 399, but I hope to god Kinect won't raise the price.

omonimo · Jan 9, 2013

Maybe because we prefer the exclusive & free online? I'm talking for me, but I don't see any other valid reasons.

I'm thinking more $450-$500 range.

I mean in price. Like in consumer price when it's all said and done. I think there's going to be 399$ and 499$ sku's.

Yes, but only continental Europe. Xbox mindshare is very strong here in the UK.

Branding? Why people think europeans are more stupid of american & choice the playstation just for the branding?:/ Honestly I think the era of sony brand is dead time ago. Simply, microsoft smell of american in everything where the playstation seems more a 'universal' console, but it's just my opinion. & Lol at the marketing, sorry but absolutely no, SCEE management it's really terrible & superficial compared SCEA (& it's not that great too).
