Pachter is a full fledged retard. Glad I never take his "accounts" seriously.

For more information regarding Pachter's condition, please query the following terms:
  • delusions of grandeur
  • chronic aphasia
  • cretinism

I never get in on the Pachter hate personally because I just dont' give a shit. But let me just say after reading this, I can definitely understand why you guys think he is a fucking idiot. 240 fps .... ya if your running Minecraft. This guy ever play a game in his life?
 
I would assume he means that it would be able to render current PS3 games (at their native resolutions, i.e. sub HD) at that rate. Which seems about right.

As always, give me full HD, give me 60 FPS, and you can use PS2 models and textures for all I care.

Edit: That's not to say I disagree with the fact that he couldn't predict the sun coming down if his life depended on it. I wish we stopped giving him publicity.

Just stumbled upon this post when pointed out. You embarrass me and you should be ashamed of yourself.

As much as you hate Pachter's job or predictions or consultation, personally attacking someone like that is shameful. Do people read what they type before hitting "Submit Reply"? Did you?! No wonder he considers us all assholes...

Hypothetically.

Couldn't anyone on GAF with a business degree do a better job than Patcher?

I just can't fathom how this man continues to be involved in investment decisions. I understand why 'gaming journalism' has picked up on him, its an easy way to generate hits with a quick laugh.

Pachter the most clueless guy in the industry, is actually the mouthpiece of the industry to the mainstream press lol

Exactly. That's the point.

Anyone with a business degree who has an understanding of the industry and the hardware would be able to advice investors more accurately.

Patcher obviously doesn't have any idea how this industry works.

Someone here theorised how Patcher was actually giving free info (true or false) to manipulate stock value of various companies in how he saw fit.
Technically legal but unethical behaviour.

Or he does and have an ulterior motive.

It's me. The avatar was made by a GAFfer. I thought it was funny, adopted it as my own.

Yes, we're really taping a show about GAF and all the negativity. I think I'm only part of it, think they are going to interview others as well.

Oh good, it really is you. Now I can tell you to your face that you're insane.

Why on earth would we NEED games rendered at 240fps? 60? Sure, we would all love that. But 240fps would be such a ridiculous waste of resources that could be better spent on IQ.

I've often wondered that myself.


Well, the good news in all of this is that Sony can save money by not having to hire anyone in PR to make stupid predictions.


As has been said. He suggested four times the power of current gen, and was asked what that meant.

He took 60fps and multiplied it by four. It was a poor explanation to an otherwise reasonable comment.

Thanks for clarifying. That's what I get for not having time to read the whole thread.

That must be how he came up with the idea that Fuse would sell 5 million units. He took a normal believable number like 1.25 million units, then using the Pachter Clown Vector™, he multiplied by 4.

For someone who hates memes, I think you may have just created one. :p

I don't know why you'd think that was 'okay'.

Patcher is paid to come up with the information he comes up with. If the information he is paid to produce were what he said to journalists or online; no one would pay him. Not because hes wrong - because you can get the information for free! Hes shouting it from rooftops!

No. Pachter sees the press as a way to stimulate his own vanity and to PR himself; here and there he can also introduce 'ideas' or back up memes to help make them ongoing story lines. Not that he'd agree with what he says, but the misinformation would help him or even put others on the opposite path.

Money isn't made. Its taken.
 
Patcher reminds me of someone! I just can't put my finger on it. He blabs like he knows so much about the gaming industry, but he sounds like he knows nothing.

When has Patcher ever been held accountable? We need an official Patcher Prediction thread just for fun. Everytime he says something, we put it in the OP, and it would be fun to have a list of his outlandish "predictions."

I don't consider you an a-hole at all. Your post was very kind, and I appreciate the effort. I'm not going to fight back with every person who makes this personal, am too busy to do so, but I'm happy to take the time to thank someone who defends me.
 
"The SHIFT director postponed my interview about GAF. Due to the extraordinary interest, the documentary will be expanded to include more POV"

"It is clear the creators of the documentary about NeoGAF intend to be fair and balanced. I intend to talk about the intelligence AND vitriol"

Hey, no problem! I'm flattered. :)

I'm sure you know more that some people think they do, and I'm sure some people here know more than you do. No one except Sony has the final big picture and it's fun speculating to see what is revealed, but personally attacking someone for citing what they know is disrespectful.

Enjoy your stay!

I like how cynical and dismissive some of GAF is about Pachter, and yet every little word he says is combed over with baited breathe in massive threads. Just ignore it I say rather than creating mass amounts of negative attention. When you have hundreds/thousands of people going over your work with a magnifying glass of course errors are going to be found or things will be taken out of context. People also just say stupid shit on the spot that they would reword or say differently given the change. I see the same shit happening all the time in sports writing, political commentary, and the entertainment industry in general.

On Tuesday, I'm taping a show dedicated to how GAFfers are (mostly) smart and are (mostly) assholes. It should be fun.

Yes, I always wonder what will set GAF off, and this was truly an innocent comment. To be honest with you, I have no idea how many frames per second the human eye can process, am pretty sure it's more than 60 fps, since we can all see the difference between 30 and 60, but I have no clue if we can see more than 120 fps, or if we can even see that. I was merely explaining to Cliff Edwards that four times the processing power would make the machine capable of rendering at that speed. I have no idea what the games will look like, which features they will incorporate, but my guess is that the specs will be sufficiently powerful that developers won't be particularly constrained from getting the look and feel that they desire. As one commenter pointed out, PC games have once again moved past console games, and each new generation of consoles allows the consoles to partially catch up.

GAF usually reacts if I comment on technical specifications, charging more money for anything, or make any comment that has the word "Nintendo" in it. To answer your question, I always presume that if I talk about any of these topics, GAF will go ballistic.

And as you pointed out, I'm amazed at the asshole factor on this website. The asshole/civil ratio must be 2:1 or more.

We are not assholes we just have a low tolerance for bullshit please inform Mr Keighly at gametrailers of this as well.

Half of the users on GAF with zero business experience can make more accurate predictions.
