Anyone got any insight into how deeply involved the ICE team are in the design of Omni?

if thats the real name than I am calling Om Nom Ni as a nickname right now.

they have to be pretty deeply involved. they provide support to all first party partners. im sure kojima even learned from the ICE team during his visit to naughty dog.

And hopefully they learned to ignore the Japanese devs.

Actually i think that it is only natural that there will be big leak. Consoles are almost finalized and everyone is expecting this year E3 to have new consoles reveal.

It's not ps3 situation where console was reveled a year before lunch.

Not sure what we're allowed to post and what we aren't in this thread? This was in the linked beyond3d thread:

Proelite said:
People have been expecting 8850 / 8870 equivalent cards to be in Durango. I think 8750/8770 is more likely the case for Durango, and 8830/8850 for Orbis. Orbis gpu has 50% more compute units.

It seem Orbis will have higher GPU, and Durango will have 2 systems in one.

Will see if new rumours might change it.

The GPU difference? Or something else? I'm losing track the speed all these rumours are appearing at. Not that that's a bad thing...

SuperDaE said VGLeaks was about to share Orbis info and voila!

Edit:....nevermind. Insane Metal's link is from June 2012 -_-

Will be slightly disappointed if Durango is more powerful than Orbis, only because I want Sony's first party to have the absolute best they can to show of that tech, that and I generally prefer buying multi platform titles on PS3 due to free online. Be annoying if Microsoft has the edge on multi titles again due to a slight performance advantage.

If Sony completely won current gen it would have been certainly possible.

Look at what Sony's first party is able to do with the hardware they have now. Now imagine games that are developed for hardware that is orders of magnitude better. These systems will be relative in power and third party games are going to be at parity this gen because their architectures are going to be extremely similar.

SO I don't get it. Why would there be a melt down if it's 5-10 percent better then orbis?

Pretty much Sony is considered the Game company out of the 2. With their stable of devs people want their hardware to be the best to show the most.

Interesting seem MS went all out with customization while Sony did not .

MS customized but its still not as broken up or customized as the PS3 and those customizations are, for the most part, easier to take advantage of than the stuff that was in the PS3 upon release.

Because there's this insane belief that some (SOME, not all, not even a majority) Sony fans believe that they are the company who cannot fail at providing bleeding edge tech and whatnot since they're the most "hardcore friendly" between MS and Sony.

I don't know if differences will be notable, honestly. The important is the price.
 
Hardware is kind of irrelevant to me as long as it is acceptable. Software is where I look when it comes to day one purchases. I have a feeling I will be going with Sony, especially after Microsoft's last two or three E3 performances.

I´m fine as long as both are pretty close. Will probably end up with both anyway, like i did this gen.

That wouldn't make sense for people to go crazy over that then. Tho I could see it.

It would basically be ps2 vs xbox round 2 then in terms of power.

I read that post on B3D as meaning Xbox fans having the meltdown.

Why?

A bit of extra performance won't make you happier. You buy the console for the content.

That's simply because MS was working on it for longer.

They must not be Sony fans if they think Sony has to release these overly powerful machines. Look at the PS1 and PS2.

Sorry I wasn't trying to make it make sense. Just explaining how it occurs.

Naw I knew what you mean I just meant I can't see people get upset if Sony isn't the strongest again. I mean ps1 and ps2 weren't beast in tech or power. It was just more exotic then the others. PS3 was really the first time PS was considered "A beast" in pure power lol.
