this.
If there is something good about a game devs will not shutup about it. If its not there they will dodge it.
smooth = dodging it.
I am excited however this is yet another one that seems as if its going to miss the boat. This really needed to be out in March or so. If it gets to Aug and destiny etc is around the corner it suddenly has much less impact.
Sorry but...
Firstly often cut scenes are actually just video so only the res and frame rate of that video will make a difference to file size.
If in this instance the scenes are generated "in engine" on the fly you are only talking about a bump in size of the original data for the model, texture etc. That data isn't repeated for every frame of every scene.
I thought it was cross plat? Why the fanboy hate at all?
Mcecroggz is indeed correct. Its in the contract exactly what the release shedual will be. The only deviation is I seem to remember the platform for the first game was different. It was either going to be current gen only or only on 360 or something like that. Obviously the new consoles changed those plans.
And the award for the "no shit sherlock" story of the day goes to...
House of cards cost 100,000000. That's the coat of 2 to 6 AA1 games. It would be very nice of ms to give us that kind of investment...
I hope it is but you would expect them to be bragging pretty hard about that fact wouldn't you?
I was just about to say I had been making the assumption this is free but read the whole thing and it says nothing about it. If this were free their blurb would mention great value for the co sumer etc etc and really milk it. It doesn't so I am pretty confident its not free to gold sub's.
As Kwiet says remember there is your normal DDR3 ram that is used to store the executing stack and associated data such as the level etc and then there is your graphical memory on the GPU used to store textures and data for graphical operations. On a modern PC game at good settings you would most certainly be looking at 2GB per piece so 4GB total. thats already 2/3rds of the PS4s available memory at this is now.
I think thats why MS were confident. While the overall bandwidth and GPU were on Sonys side, being limited to 4GB would have had a serious impact on how far they could push the ps4. In reality, they would have had 2.5-3gb of that to play with tops. I suspect at the start of the gen it would have been 2gb useable given game dvr etc.
Remember although they say otherwise they always know very well what the competition are up to. I work in a very similar industry and what we say ...
I have an XBO as a second system. The issue is kinect just doesnt add that much value to the system. People will tell you it does this and that but in reality the only commands that work nicely enough that you will actually use them are "pause, stop, play and turn off". I use mine for media 90% of the time and had hoped that I could just do a "xbox on, big breaking bad, play" type command. The reality is very different. The one that annoys me the most is that you cannot co...
F1 2014...?
@ColeMacGrath
They said it would be hard to code... Technically speaking it should be the easiest thing in the world to code if the system was designed professionally. A username, like any bit of information should just be that, information, only there for human users, your account should be handled as a number or GUID internally.
I suspect, if it really is that hard its because they have used peoples username as they key within the system. All of your data ...
Got it on Tuesday, Absolutely brilliant game.
edit - scub that seems to be a one off case.
I strongly suspect it *could* run at 1080 on the xbox BUT.... it could not do that with the rest of the settings matching those of the ps4. Devs most likely want to keep "pixel quality" i.e. the level of AA, shading etc the same but adjust the native res to compensate for platform power variation. When you only change the resolution, by the time its been youtubed etc it looks the same on both platforms thus keeping the peace and not putting off buyers of the "weaker" build...
To be fair Deadpool, yes forza is nice but its got next to no AA and other after effects applied.
Disclaimer - I am a both systems man but we need to be honest, to achieve 1080/60 forza had to serious take a cut in many areas. I really hope they can get the tools in place to be able to do something like forza at 1080/60 with AA. To be honest though I would of took it at 720 with AA but I hate jagglies.
Its my understanding that devs struggle to fit the back b...
Be interesting to see how many actually get to release. The assassins one is a no brainer. The fact so many are simply following the games storyline is a testament to how good game stories can be these days.
I am a massive Forza fan (disclaimer I have owned both systems since ps2 and xbox days) but ill admit that Forza 5 is graphically simple, that was the price for 60fps 1080p
Its so good to play though I can forgive it. My only real gripe is the aliasing. you can see how the game would have looked in photo mode. When you move the camera the aliasing is terrible, then as it stands still and the picture doesnt need to be as smooth it kicks the propper AA in and gives you a lovely...
