Yea, like netflix. They wanted to turn movie rentals into a service, look how terribly that turned out. #sarcasm
Yea, this is a win no matter how you look at it.
1. You get EVERY new MS published releases for $9.99/month along with 90-100 other major titles.
2. This will subsidize cost for lower earning titles and allow MS to publish a more diverse catalog without hurting bottom line.
3. The more people that subscribe the bigger the budget for game production is
One negative is, this means they are putting the onus for game funding on their consume...
If Playgrounds is really making a new Fable game, I am extremely excited to see it, IMO playground is one of the best Devs out there, glad they are getting a chance to expand their profile.
@obscure Lead platform is more relative to the optimization and target hardware for the game, not really anything to do with exclusivity. If it is a fable game, I HIGHLY doubt it will be multiplat though, if not, then this article doesn't really lend credence to the argument of it b...
@ju you clearly cannot read. Either that or you don't know the difference between "checkerboard-style side effect" and actual checkerboard resolution.
They even state plainly it is standard upscaling right at the end, most likely alluding to some kind of temporal scaling which is similar to checkerboard, hence the wording "checkerboard-style side effect"
That would be like if a doctor said coughing is a flu related symptom, but yo...
@ju On Cod WW2
"It's early days here, but our impression is that WW2 employs dynamic resolution scaling on both systems, with the lower bounds set at 1920x2160, rising to a full-fat 3840x2160. Perhaps not surprisingly, it's Xbox One X that gets closer to the higher-end of the scale, and the artefacts present in the horizontal upscale (apparent on both systems) are more obviously observed on the Pro presentation. Whether it's a checkerboard-style side effect...
Though, 2x2 and 4x4 are relative, as technically that is just a way to visualize the process. What happens is the horizontal or vertical pixels are rendered in 2 phases making 1920x1080 (1080p) be built from 2 960x1080 frames overlayed, using the missing pixels from the other. In this, you sometimes have frames fail to render and can sometimes have up to 10 frames where the same data is used/reused, though very rare, usually the data is used only in the original render and the following rende...
@aenea you are assuming it is 2x2 checkerboard, not 4x4 (which is almost positively true considering option 2 is 1080p 60fps)
Basically, it is rendering and compiling an image from a source equal to 1080p
Also, checkerboarding does not have to be 2x2, it is frequently 4x4 with 4 rendering phases on PS4 Pro, so the argument that it is rendering half of 2160p is not true. Is is rendering 1/4th of 2160p in this case, and that is equivalent to 1080p.
But also, Sony's checkerboard rendering isn't quite 2x2 or 4x4, it is slightly different (and superior) though that part is beyond me, there are articles explaining it.
That said, I am assuming it is 4x4 ...
@aenea you are mostly wrong. It seems you took offense to the fact I said upscaling, which some say only applies to scaling where pixels are guessed based on surrounding pixels. That said, frankly, claiming anything other than the originating pixels as native, just isn't true and honestly, claiming it is not upscaling is basically just a marketing ploy.
The thing is:
1. Xbox one also has a hardware based scaling (or whatever term you prefer) that is very simila...
Not holding back, dynasty warriors has always been pretty poorly optimized and is most likely VERY CPU heavy due to the large number of NPCs on screen, so not really a matter of holding back, just that the game won't hit 4k native on either.
1080p native - PS4 pro
1440p native - One X
This article title really distorts the actual answers from the dev. One X is 1440p native, it still scales to 4k, PS4 is 1080p native and upscales to 1080p
Article is just really unprofessional and light on important info, not to mention the title basically says One X and PS4 upscale this game to 4k, but implies PS4 is 4k, while One x is not....
To those commenting and saying this dev is lazy are not only wrong, but fell into the trap of this articles mis...
As long as it is just cosmetics, I could care less, if the game is great and I feel like giving more to the devs, it isn't a bad avenue to buy some cosmetics. Simultaneously, I really don't care much about them so can also just play the game and ignore then altogether.
I play because it is fun, pretty much the extent of it.
Haven't had this much actual fun playing a game since halo 3.
100% personally hate fortnite, specifically hate the building, ruins it for me, if they remove the building, I would probably give it another try.
Yea, no product is "perfect" hardly even a point worth arguing. Sony Did a great job with the PS4 and any gamer would be more than satisfied with it's offering.
Nintendo has created a million new IPs, just because it has Mario or in the title doesn't make it an existing IP. (ie. Mario vs rabbids, one of the best switch games so far)
I think you are just confusing the idea of characters with IP/genre.
According to the Sony fans, they hate this game anyway, weird they are so adamant it come to PS4.
Yea, anyone claiming to see some kind of "clear" improvement is just full of BS. Obviously that doesn't mean the switch is even close to PS4 pro's power, but why in the hell lie about seeing "clear" differences when at best, there are microscopic differences, and frankly, might not be any differences at all other than resolution, (which is less noticeable thanks to the poor textures) most of the differences noticable, are just due to the random nature of the landsc...
We've come full circle, the PS trolls have trashed this game non-stop since xbox release, now suddenly, they are bragging that they will get it on PS4 too. Almost makes you think these people have an agenda and just bash anything MS does.
Not sure why you got disagrees. There is very little reason to think sea of thieves can match pubg. Maybe in terms of streamers?
