But on the PS4 you can change the internal drive for an SSD. Combine that with the fact that the X is likely to be loading a lot more (for games that actually utilise the extra RAM), and I'd expect the SSD-equipped Pro to come away with a decent load time advantage more often than not.

Coming from PC, the load times are sometimes jarringly bad.

I'd quite like to see a fresh breakdown of how internal and external drives compare on the X. I heard about a 50% increase in bandwidth from the HDD, and there was a Digital Foundry look at one game that recommended installing to the internal drive. I can't imagine an uplift in bandwidth really offsets the slow speed of the drive, but it'd be nice to know how they compare.

Of course I...

Where have you seen Epic disclose the kid's personal details?

I'm no Lawyer, and even less knowledgable when it comes to US law, but everything I've seen seems pretty by-the-book.

Epic aren't doing anything unreasonable. They submitted a copyright takedown notice to remove a video from Youtube.

Once the DMCA counterclaim has been filed, Epic must either drop their claim and allow the video (and subsequent videos of the same nature) to remain on youtube, or follow through with the legal procedings. He isn't being "sued for cheating", and he opted into these legal procedings of his own accord because he didn't want to comply with ...

Microsoft should do VR with Forza 7 on PC and X.

2988d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

They're more likely to call it "The best place to play VR", or something boastful like that.

Maybe "True VR" or something similarly erroneous.

Slightly Mad just reached a little too high in their first stab at the X enhancements.

According to the update from Digital Foundry, the new "Enhanced visuals" quality setting brings the Pro visual settings almost as high as the X settings,and the X turns in twice the resolution. Business as usual.

Yeah apparently 3 quality/performance presets are already available in the demo, but not the full game. Seems a bit disorganised, but us gamers can be an impatient bunch sometimes.

Edit: Actually the Eurogamer article has been updated now with a brief look at these modes.

Your "fixed" analogy doesn't fit at all, because I was not complaining about the subject matter of the article. My complaint was about the quality, style, and structure of the writing.

-I like superhero movies. I like reading opinion pieces on consoles and games.
-I watched Batman vs Superman and it was bad. I read this opinion piece and it was bad.
-I can criticise Batman vs Superman. I can criticise this opinion piece.

I bought Batman Vs Superman, and didn't think it was very good. By your "logic" I can't say it wasn't very good, because I chose to watch it.

See how silly that is?

PUGB is one of those reasonable exceptions where they clearly don't have the manpower to work on multiple versions simultaneously. You could question whether they should be focused on putting out a console version at all when the PC version still needs so much attention.

Ok?

I wouldn't really be in a position to comment on the quality of the writing if I hadn't even read the article, so I'm not really sure what you're getting at.

It's kinda funny that so many people take what I said to be negative. Sony would have to be idiots to throw out millions upon millions in funding without stipulating what they expect at the end of it.

I'd like to be able to turn off the vignetting. The rain effect is a bit weird too, it seems to suck the colour out of the world.

Minor gripes.

UC4 is meticulously detailed (as Naughty Dog games always are), but Horizon is a far greater technical achievement imo. Especially comparing Pro vs Pro.

Fantastic game overall too. Definitely one of my top 2 or 3 for the generation/last few years.

"Can you rephrase your pitch as a 3rd person cinematic adventure?"

"Yeah, it can be that. Sure."

"OK then! Have all the time and funding you need!"

Sony are smashing out great games, but I think it's a bit of a fallacy to say they just let their studios do whatever they like.

Oh! If i tilt my head 45 degrees and try to focus a few inches behind the monitor, I think I see a boat.

Good trick!

@Jinger You have to be some kinda crazy to instantly assume the guy is lying or attacking your precious console based on what he said there.

It is bad enough that some people think aloud. This chap actually blogs as though other people might be interested in his internal monologue.
