To quote him, “These architectures are a generation ahead of the highest end PC on the market. Our benchmarks on just the video and audio performance are 8-10 times superior to the current gen.”

“The compute capabilities of these platforms and the data transfer speeds we can now bank on, essentially removes any notion of rationing of systems resources for our game engines.”

He added, “We’ll really start to see more examples of true cross-device play. Sony showed off the ability through their cloud gaming functionality to allow gamers to play high-end console titles on the handheld Vita product.”

“The architecture of both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 present more opportunities to take your game from TV to smartphone to PC, with seamless ubiquity and experience gaming at any time, in any way on any device.”

I find that hard to believe. Let us know your thoughts below.

From there, the gaming site must ask for other permissions of the video, such as: put advertisements on it, a watermark, etc.

When a company gives a free download of their trailer, they are allowing someone to borrow their content, which means the borrower does not own full rights to it.

SpikeDislike 2′s developer Jayenkai made a blog post about why he is disgusted with IGN for posting his trailer on YouTube.

These are his statements:

“They don’t have the original. If they’d have asked, I’d have happily supplied it. But no, they instead downloaded it from YouTube. I’d expect better from IGN.

“Hang on a minute. Is that an IGN watermark on my video? Not only do they have the audacity to blatantly steal my video from YouTube, they then shove their own watermark on it, and slap it BACK ON YOUTUBE!?

“Is that an ADVERT? They took my content, slapped their own watermark on it, and then got YouTube to throw in adverts, so that THEY can make money from MY CONTENT?!

“For the record, it’d be nice if IGN did the right thing and started to give a crap about all us Indie devs. LINKING would be a start..

“Having a ‘Details about this game!’ page is great, except when the page doesn’t link to the app in question, and all the Developer/Publisher links simply wrap back to IGN’s site, under the ‘Independent’ section, thus clumping every single Indie game under one giant pile of mixed apps. Grrrrr….

“I might very well be “Independent”, but I’m an indie with 8 other games in the App Store. There’s no excuse for having the “developer” link simply link to a massive pile of thousands of games written by every other Indie dev under the sun. We’re not all the same person, you know.”

 

IGN has hidden the page from viewing, but this picture I took of my screen shows it was there for viewing.

With all that being said, I am in favor of Jayenkai. No matter what a game costs (even if it is free), that does not mean the rights to it are free and are yours. IGN ripped the video from YouTube, claimed it as theirs, attempted to make money off of it, and gave no respectful credit to SpikeDislike 2. I know how the gaming industry works, and I know IGN does too. Jayenkai deserves a very big apology from them.

During an interview with CVG he says, “I think it’s a very smart move on Sony’s behalf to build this sort of enhanced PC architecture and then put so much in it. Let’s not forget it has 16 times the memory we had in PlayStation 3 – that’s not insignificant. Knowing that every machine has that, we can do crazy, ridiculous stuff with that,”

He also mentioned, “Even Windows for most people is tied to about 2 GB of addressable memory space. This really opens up beyond what most PCs can do, because most PCs are running a 32-bit version of Windows. It’s like giving you the world’s best PC,”

Do you think the next-gen Sony console is able to hold its own against the more powerful PC format? Let us know below.
