Gunkata FTW!
PeaSFor, Bubs up for funny! Sad thing is though, I could see it happening with the way people are complaining all the time. It's not like her pose was spread eagle or anything...
The description of the video is what's misleading everyone by taking things out of context. MS, on the other hand, was very clear in the video that all the most popluar games were on XB1 and you could play last gen games on the system as well. They said it in the same sentence, it is the only place you can have both.
I liked the way the article assumes that the game will be optimized for AMD cards, when it could easily support FL12.1 features as well. DX12 was designed so that devs could build to the highest level and the software would scale to the features of the computer it was running on. AMD's cards will perform better because async compute gets used, but DICE and several others agree that FL12.1 features such as hardware accelelerated Rasterization and Raster Ordered Views will be will be a gam...
You're totally right, Elwinil. I was thinking of Aiwa, not Onkyo, which Sony bought in the 90's. I was a bit drunk when I posted last night and confused the two, lol. Sorry about that, but thanks for the correction.
Funny thing is that Sony owns Onkyo...
Correct, they're seriously garbage. Anyone who makes anything makes stuff better than Sony for less. Samsung sells their low-grade processors to Sony to put into their TV's, for example, and Sony doesn't even use their own brand of drivers in their computer speakers(last I'd checked they're still using Kinyo, lol).
Forza Horizon 2 has an awesome photo mode, and there are some incredible photos generated from other Forza's as well. Hell, even last gen GT and Forza were almoat photoreal at times.
I think Tony needs a break, just not a Quantum one, lol. The a better way to say it, Tony, is that it is 4x 720p native because one image is 720p native but this combines 4 of them into one 1080p frame. So it's not really accurate to call it 720p any more than it is to call it 1080p, and it's not really upscaled either in the traditional sense. This new technique is better looking than scaling the image because of the way it uses 4 frames instead of one to interpret the pixels into ...
Don't Hate, I still beleive it's possible that through the power of the cloud, with their Irides software, that VR through Oculus is possibly coming to XB1 consoles. Mike Ybarra said there would be two or three big announcements on the scale of BC coming this year, and I've not seen them. Well, Maybe one if you count the XB 1.5/ upgradeable Xbox "rumor".
If you remember, Irides can improve graphics and still reduce latency by around 90%. 20 times the X...
I agree with you Chris, it is a shame that MS dropped the ball on the release of DX12, since it should have been ready when the console released. The point I was making here though is simply that DX12 can make a difference, but devs haven't had the API long enough to show how it can influence game development yet. It is unfortunate that the timeline, not the goalposts as you suggest, has been moved because the API was not ready soon enough to make a difference for XB1 when it needed to....
Game, you just pulled another quote that precedes the one I used. Mine states that everything you're quoting has not been confirmed as having been implemented yet. You also didn't talk about why the slides that detail all of the improvements are titled Future Work. Yes, DICE says they're using DX12, and yes, we already know that some DX12 features were put into DX11.x on XB1, so yes, some DX12 features were used at the start of development. What is not present in SW:BF, however i...
FRAMERATE... for the last time, he said the framerate looks smoother not the gameplay. Now who's missing the point? Grow up, dude.
They were, and that's what Septic said.
I would also contend that in this scenario, there are only two configurations to optimize for which makes development easier than PC. For the most part, all that would be required to optimize for each would be an adjustment on the level of detail. We all know that as an object moves away from the POV, it's LOD changes to reduce CPU usage. On a PS4.5 or XB1.5, the first drop in LOD could logically represent the closest image of the PS4 and XB1. This alone would likely cover the vast major...
I'll buy used if it's a game I want to play but wouldn't keep because I can return it in 7 days for a full refund and Gamestop doesn't see a dime. I don't see the value in a $5 discount on a game with a ruined box and instructions that also doesn't support a good developer financially.
Video games are standing on the edge of the Uncanny Valley. It's hard to think what we'll be playing 10 years from now if real time images like this are possible on the best hardware available today. Every bit as beautiful as Unreal 4.
He said, "The framerate looks smoother on XB1...", to which you replied, "yeah, the 8bit sword shadow looks real smooth." The shadow detail has absolutely NOTHING to do with the framerate, so you're clearly wrong here(and either unaware of the difference between shadow detail and framerate, or just trolling). Then I actually refuted Bleedsoe's observation by stating that PS4 had less slowdown. Are you really that slow that you can't understand it, or are you ju...
I just wanted to see what kind of ignorant hyperbole you'd dream up this time Game, but here's a quote, "Whether it is something that MS is already using or plans to use in the future is unknown at this point." You only see what you want to see when you read, and if it doesn't fit within your skewed view of reality you pretend it doesn't exist at all.
Matter of fact, the first slide after the benchmarks is titled Future Work, and the other two slide...
So does Idiocracy! Social media is dumbing people down to the point they're killing themselves with it. A few months ago a man who was texting while hiking walked off a cliff in spite of onlookers yelling at the man to stop. A few years ago a couple killed themselves taking a selfie, in front of their child, because they got too close to a cliff and fell off. If there is a world outside of social media and the internet, it appears to be getting ignored more and more as time passes.
