You're a bit on the wrong side. By a bit, I mean you're completely wrong and don't have a clue.jenkins wrote:X-Box 360, PS3...or am I assuming things I shouldn't?
Again?
(Based on the knowledge that GameCube, PS2, and Dreamcast were 128-bit)
But I guess everyone makes mistakes sometimes! I'd explain how things work but I'm really tired and this feels like a good excuse to be lazy..and to be honest, I've sort of forgot....fucking memory.
Anyway, about the idea of games exceeding 1TB though, the reason I'd personally be surprised is because I have a feeling that the next gen is probably going to be the penultimate gen, at least as far as graphical improvements go. Honestly, if the step up from next gen to the following gen is as big as the current step we're making, then it seems like they'll probably have the power for photorealism, or they'll be able to get to a level that's so close to being photorealistic that they wouldn't be able to justify making another system just to make the small final leap. Where storage is concerned, what I was thinking was that it's extremely unlikely any games in the coming gen will ever reach 100Gb in size, so then it'd be unrealistic for the following gen to need anywhere near 1TB. I suppose it's true though that if they had tons of uncompressed high definition textures and video they could end up using up a ton however.
It's likely though I could potentially be wrong about this and the console industry still has several more generations of power updates to go through, but all I can say is that personally, right now, I don't think there'll be a Playstation 5... at least, definitely not in a form anything like any current systems.
