The reasons they are now leveraging their game IP for movies is:
PS4 is their top division
Sony is currently hemorrhaging money from it's movie sales
If gamers buy a Switch, they have to be okay with handheld quality games because the Switch is a handheld when it's not on the dock. To that point, what purpose would a new handheld serve other than to compete with the Switch?
MS seems to be heading that way already too with Win10 on mobile devices and Xbox Play Anywhere.
Sir Jo Jo, I don't use my computer any more and XB1 can't copy/paste links. However, if you want to look it up, look up SHADER MODEL 6. There's a brief article from TechPowerup.com and a significantly more detailed explanation of things at Microsoft.com.
I'll just put it thiis way though, SM5 is basically a 7+ year old program that's being replaced by one geared towards Tiled Resources and FL12.1 hardware specifically. XB1 and Scorpio GPUs both contai...
Space Ghost Recon... Coast to Coast... That would be awesome...
Apparently not. Otherwise there wouldn't be arguments about Scorpio being a true native 4k system.
^this
Because GT is the real driving simulator, lol.
Yeah, that's what I mean though, Hugs. GT4 ran a 1080p photo mode. I don't see any reason why photo mode in Horizon wouldn't be in UHD even on an OG PS4, especially since there's Pro settings for Horizon already.
Come on, Goldby... Where did I say the XB1 is 4k? I said less 900p games on XB1 >>>AND<<< Scorpio will hit 4k more often.
Maybe you don't realize how much better SM6 is than SM5? SM6 is, in part, designed to take advantage of Tiled Resources, and consequently the FL12.1 features of OG Xb1 hardware as well. That means more efficient shaders in upcoming releases that can utilize the FL12.1 HW in BOTH the XB1 and Scorpio. Logic dictates that if XB...
Sorry, you're just wrong. "Will be" and "can be" are two different concepts entirely. Since MS is allowing developers to choose how to use the power, they can choose to sparse render if they want, just as they could choose to render in 1080p as well. They can also, and most importantly, choose to do native 4k because Scorpio is going to have more than enough power to do it with. Tf is not the only part of a computers' capabilities because HW acceleration of spe...
Bit of a spoiler, so you might want to edit that into your post, but it's good info for those of us who wanted to know!
For reference, the photo mode in Gran Turismo always looked better than when the game was being played. Granted, it looks good. I just want to see some direct feed video from the most recent build already, not some random tweets about photo mode or assurances without proof from the devs that the game hasn't been downgraded.
I was with you until I learned a bit more about the game, but knowing that it has story ties, atmosphere, puzzles, fear, limited ammo, and a few other things made me change my mind. Plus, it's better than the action horror that RE 4-6 became, IMO. Only thing about RE7 that really bothers me ATM is the blatant Texas Chainsaw Massacre feel that the family has, but that's minor compared to the issues I have with RE 4-6.
Rumor has it that MS funded nearly half of Ryzen/Vega development cost and will get the chips on the cheap because of this collaboration.
If MS does use Ryzen/Vega, it will confirm speculation that the XB1 has been used as a prototype for these chips as well, because MS has already publically stated that Scorpio is using a more powerful version of the og systems' hardware to ensure FC.
I think you're in the wrong article, because your post is way off topic.
Gamer7804, this is exactly why I fear Sony may screw up the PSVR in the long run too.
Does that mean it's a zombie?
Yep. MS being lackluster is simply an opinion; One which I don't agree with. There are great exclusives from MS and this year's lineup is already looking good to me. More good news to come from MS in the next few months as well!
Really good point Kleptic. Besides that, as Lamer Tamer pointed out, things could look ridiculous if 1080p was used with 4.2- 6tf. I'm glad to see that some of the Pro enhancements are actually user selectable for things like high res, framerate, or high fidelity options because it allows us to get more of what we want out of our gaming experience. This type of user customization is new to consoles but I'm hopeful that it will become a standard in games going forwards.
Keep telling yourself that, Aenea.
