Indeed. They could improve the coverage of those events though.

Unpopular as this will be, I gotta say Xbox handles this stuff the best (in terms of coverage more so than content). They cover E3 and such really well, and also do a weekly show about new releases and announcements.

Hey, at the end of the day so long as they keep charging me a subscription to allow me to play Call of Duty over peer 2 peer connections I'll still be one happy chump.

Yup, and they have already confirmed the same for Scorpio.

Agreed. And if they can just take a few chunks out of my disc ownership rights, that'd seal the deal.

A game the spans all 3 of those IPs? Blimey, that is a pretty bold prediction.

Kudos to you if we see Master Chief driving a Porsche into an emergence hole or whatever. I'm sure it'll look great on Scorpio.

"And I've said, and this is actually true, the planning for what happens [snip]" is kinda funny. It reads like an acknowledgement that most of what he says is bull.

@Frostypants Ah, you must be new here. The N4G userbase can take some getting used to, but they're mostly harmless :)

Cut to the chase, and sentence me to death by snu-snu. Please.

If by standard you mean "not a single TV supports the feature yet" then yes, pretty standard indeed.

Really don't get why some people are so obsessed with the "mid-gen next-gen" labels. A rose by any other name....

Right, that's what I said isn't it?

AMD cards have been able to output those ranges and use low framerate compensation for a while. Displays just haven't had to support it in order to earn the Freesync label, where as it is a mandatory part of Freesync 2.

The only part of Freesync 2 that older AMD cards can't already do is HDR. The PS4 Pro obviously can do HDR, but whether it can put the 2 technologies together is an unknown.

AMD cards (including Polaris) already support at least some of the most crucial elements of this. Freesync 2 mandates better freesync ranges to make sure that their low framerate compensation tech works. However, Freesync already supported the feature. It just wasn't mandatory.

Freesync 2 also supports HDR, and the situation with Freesync 1 and HDR is less obvious as AMD don't have any cards that support HDR so it's a "what if?".

Doesn't really need DisplayPort to support PC monitors. Freesync over HDMI has been part of AMD products for a while now, and a lot of the more recent of Freesync monitors include Freesync over HDMI as well as DP. That trend will only grow if consoles make it more fashionable.

It will be interesting to see if/when any TV manufacturers bother to include it. It isn't a mandated part of the HDMI 2.1 spec.

:straight face: yes Ron, I have checked and that is definitely the exact wording of the error message. Why do you keep asking me to repeat myself?

Great news. Anything that makes Sony fans more stable benefits us all.

3222d ago 11 agree8 disagreeView comment

That isn't a proven fact at all. It isn't even observed in trends. You can bet your arse that if there was any hard evidence what-so-ever that dropping DRM would increase sales, every publisher would do it.

"The Witcher sold well, me and my friends only bought it because it didn't have DRM!" won't cut it as evidence, sorry.

@Morganfell apart from your PS4 Pro, am I right?

What, re-released in episodes 20 years later? Think I'll just play it now, thanks very much :)
