A Witcher avy? PC guy IMO.
There's diminishing returns going from 8k to 16k on a screen, certainly.Whoa...someone who actually understands how resolution works!
You are definitely correct. As resolutions get higher and higher the difference in the perception of sharpness in the image dramatically decreases. It is absolutely an area of strongly diminished returns.
On the hand, going from 900p to 1080p (and from there onwards to 4k) is still a massive difference.
He knows that all those people saying they will get the PS4 will actually get the Xbox One version and they are just lying to themselves. I guess?

Which delay? The original one was because the xbone didn't exist in their home country at the expected day
Audio chip in PS4 was a mistery before TrueAudio DSP reveal. And things has changed after that. Many people thought that SHAPE in Xbone is superior. If you have clues, show us.
Anyway, "about 512 vs 256 maybe" you probably referring on an old vg247 link.

If the controls are Vita friendly I'll be so happy
Well to be fair the PC they were running on was a i7-4790 with GTX 980 and 8gb ram. Did a quick search online and just those three components are £923 (1234 euros). =P
Never said anything like that. i'm saying the difference isnt a constant and may not be 'huge' in certain situations. its really a pretty simple concept.

900p to 1080p is not much of a difference so it does not matter anyway. But even more low res textures is sad...

It was recently delayed again, like a month ago.

He's a hardcore PC guy, and I've seen him shit on consoles a lot. So that childish response is not surprising in the least.

The difference varies.
Play a PC game at 900p on your 1080p monitor and you'll notice an IQ downgrade.

The question is now rather which "truth" I need to accept? As you referenced earlier. Somehow you seemed to suggest there was a certain truth I was in denial about - as well as others (not named).

The controls. If they switch L2/R2 mapping to L and R it should work flawlessly as the Quick Access wheels slow down time.
a) Even those components are less than 900
b) You don't remotely need a 980 or a 4790 to outperform any console in this or any other game

Clear as mud. Which resolution do you prefer to play ffx at in your "certain situation". I'm going to take a wild guess that you prefer 1080.
I'm outperforming the consoles with a 3770k and 660ti.
I'm told that I didn't even need to go that far with the CPU, but the pseudo-octocore thing felt more future-proofy.
And you know, once you have the case, a power supply, ram, a mobo and a hard drive, you don't really have to spend much money upgrading -- unless you're really looking to splurge. I've spent maybe 400-500 in the past 6 years upgrading because I could sell older parts (without the loss of backwards compatibility).

I wasn't offering options. Anyways, you either get it or you dont. I'm sure you understand but you're clearly going to keep trying to avoid admitting it. I'll stop wasting my time now.
You don't actually need those specific components to play the game at "high" presets, as they are, considering that apparently "ultra" presets, can run on that same system. Considering the "high" presets out perform the consoles, and we have no idea what system is required to match them, all we can say is that it would assuredly cost significantly less than £923. Hence why the previous point stands

There was a thread at Beyond3d back in the day about it I think, but I don't have a link off hand for the thread. One of the posters there did some work on the audio architecture for X1. SHAPE was specifically designed to take audio loads off the CPU (apparently games like Forza commonly used 50% of the CPU power just for audio on 360...which is kinda nuts). SHAPE also has partitions that help with Kinect voice inputs, which are separate from the component handling game voices which I referenced earlier. More info on that here: http://www.vgleaks.com/durango-sound-of-tomorrow
For PS4, some details here: http://www.vgleaks.com/playstation-4-audio-processor-acp
Dunno how much it matters in these games, but it is an advantage nonetheless. It doesn't necessarily have much in common with the thread topic though.
I think the "PC parts cost 9 million bucks", rhetoric needs to stop in this day and age of off the shelf parts and easy accessibility. Its probably the easiest time out of any in history to be a PC gamer.
But its also a good thing that both consoles are being earnestly optimized for, especially in the case of this game that's clearly very impressive from a technical standpoint, so....i think everyone should just calm down a bit with the platform warring....

But I heard the gap was closing... something's wrong.
Expected, unless they pushed a Ubisoft
What's he saying is that resolution doesn't matter... unless it does, but, even when it does, it only matters a little bit.... except for those rare occasions when it matters alot, but even then its not that important.
I don't see what's so hard to understand here??

The game itself looks great. I was planning on buying it at some point in time, but what CD Projekt has said about DLC will make me a Day 1 buyer again (something that has not happened in a long time). The Witcher 3 will be receiving 16 DLC packages, free of charge across all platforms without pre-order or special edition purchase requirements.
Outstanding! If developers are worried about people trading in their games, they can give us an incentive to keep them. This is definitely a good incentive. Thanks CD Projekt!
Also, props to them for making a game that scales based on hardware and not some bullshit parity clause.
The resolution argument going on in this thread is ridiculous. If all that is available to you is 900p, then you should be okay, you can enjoy the game. If you have the option between 900p and 1080p, that is a no-brainer, you go with 1080p. Anyone that says it doesn't make a difference is delusional.

on PC it sounds like you can but for PS4 it wont be a straight up transfer. they hinted at some type of prologue story selector that can simulate choices made in the previous game.

Man, how I remember people saying that PS4 games would quickly drop resolution to sub 1080p, yet here we are, and there's only a handful of titles.
Of course he is. That's what elder semen sounds like. That misterx doofus about Xbox One's magical pony power.
It depends on AA technique though, but in Witcher 3's case the difference will be probably quite visible even on TV.
Putting those shots on TV and sitting in normal distance wont show noticeable difference, but on the other hand not every game uses this kind of AA or post processing:
http://i5.minus.com/is1ucxNIWOaoj.png
http://i6.minus.com/ibhMNoZj0BdN70.png
One is 1536x864 with TAA and other is 1080p with TAA.
The Order 1886 has the same problem, they are using 4x MSAA'ed image without scaling, but their game is still very blurry as or even sometimes more blurry than 900p with proper scaling and sharperning.
None of that really matters anyway because it's peanuts compared to the infinite power of the cloud.
UK sales tax is 20% so that's probably why things are more expensive here. lol
Anyway I was being facetious.
Yea, but my point was that the difference is not 'huge' in my situation.

Why is sniping like this allowed here? You didn't respond to anything I said. You simply made up some bullshit, tried to attribute it to me, and then walked off...
Everything I claimed is factual and cited in my posts. If you want me to explain things clearer or if you would like links or whatnot, just ask.

Not sure what you mean?
I've just checked the recommended specs for The Witcher 3 and priced them online and for the motherboard, graphics card, Processor and RAM alone cost £759 sterling or 1,000 and that's without PC case, cooling, power supply etc. so it would easily cost 1,500 to play this @ the recommended settings
I seriously question that. You offered absolutely nothing of worth that I did not know - so the truth thing? Not sure where to find it.
Here is what you did - you replied to a post of mine with some passive aggressive "truth search" as bait and now you're copping out. Yes, avoid me having to waste my time.

Conspiracy theorist were expecting that the PS4 gets dumped down.
He is saying that the difference seen for different resolutions is variable depending on the distance at which you are from the screen. He is right. If you are a foot away from a screen you will notice a change of say 1080p to 720p, a whole lot more than if you are sat 10 feet away. There is a difference, but that difference is reduced, the further away you are from that screen
Let me take it one step further. As an avid PC gamer, what if the PC parts actually DID cost a very high amount of money? So what?
No seriously, so what?
If 120+fps and better textures, higher resolutions etc etc etc matter so much to me that I am willing to pay a very high premium (which isnt' even the case in modern PC gaming) then let me pay what I want to pay to play how I want to play.
I just really don't get the salt. I don't look at people with more expensive setups than mine and insult them. I say, "Hey that's awesome"
