Sony's Vita Spending and Unreal Needs Power - Press Pause Daily

[LESS INFO] 14 VIEWS | ADDED 20:00:00 02/14/12
Sony dropping big money on Vita and Unreal Engine 4 will need more power. SHOW NOTES: Story 1: Sony is releasing it’s newest handheld, the Vita next Tuesday, and they aren’t skimping on the promotion. According to reports , Sony will be spending around $50 million on promoting their new handheld game system. Sony is teaming with the marketing team at Deutsch to create a string of advertisements called “Never Stop Playing”, and will be rolling them out on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, as well as running commercials on shows such as The Simpsons, South Park, and during NBA and NCAA basketball games. It looks like Sony is placing a lot of faith in their new handheld. I guess we’ll find out soon whether or not Sony’s faith is justified. http://www.gamespot.com/news/sony-spending-50-million-on-ps-vita-marketing-6350246 Story 2: Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney was at the DICE conference last week talking about graphics and visuals, and has some interesting things to say about their next graphics engine. Sweeney stated that in order to create a just good enough representation of visual reality, a graphics engine would need to create around 5000 teraflops per second, which is A LOT. By comparison he said, the Xbox 360 can currently create about 0.25 teraflops per second. He then stated that in order to run their latest version of the current Unreal Engine 3, called Samaritan, it would take an Xbox 10 times more powerful than what is currently available. We don’t yet know what will be under the hoods of the next Xbox or Playstation, but if Tim Sweeney has any say, they will probably still be too wimpy to handle HIS new engine. http://kotaku.com/5884423/unreals-next-engine-will-need-a-console-at-least-ten-times-more-powerful-than-the-xbox-360 That will do it for your daily dose of Press Pause.

This edition of Drive it! takes us to the automotive past, present and future. There’s the new Audi A4, and a review of BMW’s electric concept cars. We also pay a nostalgic visit to the original VW Bug and its revamped successor, the New Beetle. Plus a report on a car that can influence the outcome of Formula 1 races despite not competing. Present it! Audi A4Now in its 8th generation, the A4 has become Audi’s best-selling model.In almost 40 years, Audi has sold almost 10 million units of the A4 and its predecessor the Audi 80. Now the carmaker presents a massively revamped A4 series. The design is even bolder. The horizontal lines at the front are more pronounced, and the bulge in the hood is more prominent. The revamped engines are said to consume up to 11% less fuel. Together, the sedan and Avant wagon models offer a choice of six TDI and four diesel versions. Drive it! tests the new A4 sedan powered by a 2.0-liter TFSI engine.Compare it! The Seat Alhambra and Ford GalaxyThe two MPVs share a common history.The first generation of the people-carrier in 1995 was ultimately a joint production from Ford, Seat and Volkswagen. Although the collaboration ended three years later, with Ford developing the second generation of the Galaxy on its own, the basic structure of the carmakers' models remained virtually identical until 2006. The second generation of the Seat Alhambra has been on the market since 2010. Drive it! takes a closer look at the most powerful diesel versions of the two models. The Alhambra delivers 125 kW of power, the Galaxy delivers 147 kW. So what other differences are there between the close cousins? Picture it! The BMW i3 and i8The two concepts are intended to give us a glimpse of the automotive future.The i3 concept is set to be BMW’s first mass-produced fully electric car, and has been designed with tomorrow’s urban traffic already in mind. The BMW i8 concept is a plug-in hybrid that embodies the vision of a modern, sustainable sports car. The i8 combines the modified electric engine from the i3 (front axle) with a 164 kW/300 Nm three-cylinder high-performance gasoline engine (rear axle). The dynamic duo are due out in late 2012 or early 2013. Test it! The VW BeetleThe New Beetle constitutes a difficult challenge for Volkswagen.The new generation aims to capture some of the magic of the Bug-original. That didn’t really work out in the 1998 incarnation of the New Beetle, which was never accepted by Bug fans as a worthy successor. The latest attempt from VW is a modern car determined to convey that genuine Bug feel. Constantin Beims asked Bug connoisseurs what they make of the New Beetle.Admire it! The Mercedes SLS AMG Coupe Formula 1 Safety CarA non-competing vehicle that can determine the outcome of a race.Huge leads can be whittled down and entire race strategies destroyed. But safety has to have top priority. Safety Cars in Formula 1 debuted at the 1973 Canadian Grand Prix, and since 1996 have been provided by Mercedes’ works tuner AMG. The cars’ mission: to take the danger out of hazardous situations. The SLS AMG will again be heading the field occasionally this season. Drive it! meets Bernd Mayländer, who’s been at the wheel of the safety car for 12 years. He shows us the special features that make the SLS AMG Safety Car so unique.

From racing models to electric mobility, drive it! presents new sports cars with a long tradition and workhorses for tomorrow's everyday driving.examine it! Headlight HeadacheOne look under the hood and that's enough to frighten off many motorists. The headlights on modern cars are well hidden among the car's inner workings so getting to them often demands blood, sweat and tears.That means changing headlight bulbs is a staple job for many mechanics, and now more so than ever. Today's generation of cars are designed in a way that drastically reduces the lifespan of headlight bulbs. vintage: The Farmyard Do-it-yourselfer87-year old Willi Hoffmann always dreamed of working on airplanes. That boyhood dream never worked out, but the farmer's fascination with mechanical contraptions is still as strong as ever. He's transformed his barns into shrines to cars, tractors and farmyard equipment from bygone times, and everything in them works like new.The centerpiece of Willi's collection is an old Opel Olympia from 1938, which runs on firewood!present it! The BMW M5Normally, business class sedans are kept on a short leash. They diligently fulfil their duties, bringing their drivers and passengers from point A to B. But some models just don't fit in. Like the BMW M5.Since 1984 it's been one of the leading high performance sedans in the premium class. Now the Bavarians have unveiled the fifth generation of this super-sports car. The high-revving 4.4 liter V8 engine with M TwinPower turbo technology puts out a staggering 412 kilowatts of power. drive it! unleashed this animal on the race track. picture it! MIA - The Electric Citymobile for AllMIA is a SHE. That's according to her creator, the former VW chief designer Murat Günak. She's more than an electric car. She's a whole new brand and, if Günak gets his way, a revolution in mobility. Several versions go into mass production in 2012.They include a three-seater, a four-seater and a kind of van for cargo transport. The basic model with the smallest battery costs 23,500 euros - and will last for 80 kilometers between chargings. Some 10 thousand units are to be built next year in France. test it! The VW SharanIn Volkswagen's European model spectrum, the 5-, 6- or 7-seater Sharan is the bridge between the Touran minivan and the big Multivan. Its second generation has been on the market for a year now.It's 22 cm longer yet 30 kg lighter than its predecessor. The new Sharan sports sliding doors on both sides built to improve access to the second and third seating rows. After all, it's the variable seating that has made this model so attractive to families. drive it! put the new Sharan through its paces. How much space is there really for passengers and luggage?

The company's also promising a range of 150 kilometers (or 93 miles) that can be doubled with an optional range-extension pack, although its not letting anyone actually drive the car just yet (or even look under the hood, for that matter).
