There were what looked like some fairly substantial leaks after CES that pointed to a late March reveal of the consoles codenamed Orbis and Durango, which coincides with GDC and PAX East. We don't know much more - or even if those were accurate leaks - but if a launch date in 2013 is going to happen one would imagine the console publishers can't wait too long to announce them. 

(If I remember, though, the next Xbox and PS were going to be announced at their own, separate events in late March - it might be that publishers were given enough advance warning to prepare showcases and launch title reveals for GDC/PAX, but that's a total guess.)

Christ, I upgraded to 16 Gigs (That's actually the most my motherboard can handle) and figured that was incredible overkill. 64 seems absolutely friggin' insane to me. Seems like I have to buy ANOTHER PC to keep up in a couple years...which is another reason that, despite the online options and the better graphics, I prefer to just play these games on my console that I know will work out of the box with no worry to optimize.

As for the 8 gigs not being anything to the current PC base, it is tremendously better than 512. These specs are a gigantic leap in my opinion.

Yeah, 64 is super overkill, even if his primary use for it is video editing. Even then, 16 should fix him. MAYBE 24, if he's doing particularly gigantic videos.

But really, video editing is a lot more CPU/GPU intensive than RAM intensive. RAM helps if you're going to be buffering a lot of content at once, but that stuff is just murder on processing. So much so, that AMD has a line of graphics cards specifically built for video editing. The Fire-something series, I'll have to look it up.

8 Gigs is still pretty great for gaming rigs, that's probably the standard right now. If your RAM can store over 50% of the game you're playing, you're good. Most games now don't go very high over 10 (unless we're talking MMO's, but you're never going to need to store more than a small chunk of them in memory at any given time).

Yeah, the PS4 is looking to be a tad underpowered in RAM, but that shouldn't stop Sony from being able to do specatcular things with it. Even if the 720 has twice the RAM, in two or three years, it's going to be behind again anyway.

EDIT: FirePro series, how did I forget that??

Can anyone confirm that there will DEFINITELY be a Sprint Review tomorrow? I know that's the current belief and Allan said it "looks like" they will have one, but anyone care to confirm for sure?

Nothing so far during the conference other than mentioning they'd be talking about more next gen games in May during some conference call/event that I didn't catch the name of.

Of note, they did mention how they would be unveiling/showing Battlefield 4 in around 90 days, and BF4 is almost certainly nextgen.

I'm going to guess that the actual hardware will be unveiled at GDC in late March. Or if not actually at GDC, then at their own separate events around late March. Probably just the hardware though and focus on the tech specs.

Then post GDC between April-May, that's when we'll see certain nextgen launch games start having their unveils on the cover of Game Informer and the like, maybe still being cagey about what actual platforms they'll be launching on but at least getting the game out publicly. Probably how Ubisoft showed off Watch_dogs or how CD Projekt is likely unveiling The Witcher 3 next week- show off the game but don't make much mention of the platform.

Then E3 in June will likely be all about the games and services tied to the nextgen consoles. That would be my guess anyway.

I think one of the rumors regarding Orbis/PS4 was that the 4GB of RAM it hasis faster DDR5 RAM compared to Durango/Xbox's 8GB of DDR3 RAM. And that a certain amount of GB's of Durango's RAM will be blocked off for the OS and other applications besides games, so the actual RAM available for games is about 5 GB while Orbis will have about 3.5GB available for games.

Dunno if I'm a derp, but what's a sprint review?

[Fiddzz]

Yeah its on for tomorrow, I usually do all the setup/prep for the meetings so Allan's "unless something happens" usually refers to the meeting not happening cause I blew up the demo PC or some other travesty that I have facilitated.

Edit: Of course, the sprint review is the internal presentation and evaluation of how the project is going, not the tweeting.

Devs tweeting their impressions of internal presentations relating to the progress DA3 has made in the last three weeks or so. It also might include sekrits, teasing, tidbits of information and blurry screenshots.

I prefer to call it masochism. 

(Devs might even call it schadenfreude )

To be fair, next gen consoles will not fix any of the situations you outlined, if these things are indeed tied to the game coming out on consoles. Consoles will still be played on TVs, so the weapons will need to be big.

Will they, though?  Will the next generation of consoles not only run on SDTVs, but also equire that all of the titles released on them support SDTVs?

It's been more than 10 years now since PC games stopped supporting a 640*480 display, and yet console games still do.  This needs to stop.

Hmmmm. While I think the next gen consoles will look great on HDTVs, I don't think they could ever get away with saying "you can't play them on a standard def television." Putting a $500 price tag on something and then saying you also have to buy a new TV is a tough sale. Not that many people would be buying a new console and wouldn't have a newer television, but the principle of the idea, that you are required to buy an addiitional product to enjoy the product you just bought, when before your old TV worked fine, is a battle I'm not sure Microsoft or Sony is willing to go toe-to-toe with the consumer base on.

That being said, we'll find out more when we find out more.

Well, what if new consoles required an always on internet connection? That's one of the rumors being floated about. Honestly, if developers axed support for older non-hdtv's, I wouldn't think thats so much different than any number of PC games which have started to require DirectX 11 video cards.

I mean, if somebody can buy a $400+ new nextgen console, I think they can pony up for an HDTV, if they don't have one already.

And it seems Sony is unveiling the PS4/Orbis February 20th, so not too long now.

That Sony news is sooner than I thought.

Good news!

Especially since just recently they were saying they'd let Microsoft make the first move. Guess they were bluffing or MS has something up their sleeve too.

Excited to see it though, even if I don't end up getting one!
