Dolby Vision is technically better than HDR, but the added cost isn't worth it, and the difference to the untrained eye is negligible on current 1000 nit TVs that can't even display all the brightness that 12 bits per primary affords. As of now, 10 bit maxes out nearly all HDR TVs on the market. HDR is far from overrated, though, it's the best thing to happen to video since HD. Now I can finally show all the dynamic range my cameras capture on screen, instead of being limited to 8...
Look at all these people trying to use whataboutism to defend companies ripping people off... these companies do not care about you, they only care about taking your money. Get over it, this isn't a football game. Stop cheerleading.
Except it didn't, and people made so much of a fuss about it MS eventually caved.
Ratchet & Clank already proved the SSD is doing far more than just better load times. Nice try, take that FUD elsewhere.
This is just... dumb. My phone has atmos for free.
The developer has to pay dearly for the license and hardware required, which is why few will bother.
Unless the videos are AI upscaled, this is a waste, as there are real time upscalers in software players that will do just as good of a job.
It's the developer that has to pay to use it, which is why many won't. I produce HDR content for a living, DV isn't cheap.
Don't expect a lot of games to use this. Dolby is notoriously expensive to license, and with open formats like HLG and HDR10/HDR10+ available for free, developers will likely stick to those. Not to mention, fewer TVs can decode Dolby Vision, so they'd be paying a premium for a license that only is applicable to a small chunk of their already small HDR audience .
My Radeon VII is paying for itself many times over.
Nvidia has nothing to gain, they're going to sell out anyway, so I don't see a reason for conspiracy here.
They are making them focus on the games that actually do profit and are well-loved, like Astrobot.
Go for the console exclusives, then, not multi-generational multiplats.
You're missing the point, I'm saying this BECAUSE they already spent 7.5B on Zenimax. Microsoft isn't going to keep dumping billions more than that into a brand that only accounts for 11% of the company.
I'd say 11% is a tiny fraction, when it comes to betting the farm on it.
As a whole Xbox is a tiny, tiny fraction of Microsoft's overall income ($5 billion of $43 billion total). If they got into a bidding war with Sony, they'd be the first to back out, because of how small of a percentage of their revenue that Xbox is. It just doesn't make financial sense to throw away billions on a bidding war involving a product that only consists of less than 10% of your company's revenue.
Meanwhile, Sony's hardware and gaming services a...
Never pick on the quiet kid...
Sony is quiet because they're so far ahead of the pack, they don't have to say anything.
They don't need to, they already self publish AAA classics without spending almost 2x more money on acquiring a publisher than Disney did on Star Wars.
Then some nutjob would bomb them.
