7th core access ps4

Developers. Do your plans include making the most from this new access?

Unless they had advanced knowledge and access of this architecture change, I'm guessing it may be too late in the MLB 16 dev cycle to do anything now. They only have probably 14-15 weeks or so before the game would be finished I think.

But hey, if they can use the extra CPU power for even more ball physics algorithms/calculations, more in depth stat calculations, or anything for that matter, that would be cool.

Re: 7th core access ps4

A game like this would certainly have known and had access to make this work within the next release frame.

U4 will be using it. Devs had access like a month or two ago. People can patch its use into games. MLB 16 will almost certainly use it for something even if they don't have time to do much. FPS can be raised in a lot ways with just another core or even a half one to help out on things that would not take too much time to code into the framework.

Well, this is hoping a lot of this engine is now PS4 ready and the PS3 version does not take much time to make at all. I certainly hope that is the case. PS3 should not be the focus of this franchise at all anymore.

No reason to be a jerk about it. There is English and there is technical terminology, which is what you assumed everyone knows. That's not the case by any stretch of the imagination.

To answer the question in the best way that I can with my limited hardware background...a "core" is part of a system processor that can handle processes, computations, etc. The more cores that are being used, the more stuff can be done at the same time. In other words, more cores = better processing efficiency/speed/etc. What I assume manny was getting at (sorry, don't follow the latest tech announcements) is that Sony just announced that it will be giving developers access to a 7th core instead of limiting them to just 6 as before.

I'm sure that's not the best, most complete, technically-sound explanation but hopefully it gives you an idea of what this is discussing.

Not only did he assume everyone understands technical terminology, but he assumed everyone already read the story, since he didn't actually mention any of that in his post. THanks for the update.
