GAF I need to study. Please crash or something so I can leave

 

[IAmRandom31]

brilliant lol

 

[LTWood12]

I'm going to go ahead and guess the reason for the embargo is that it can't play games until the patch is installed, and it sounds like it won't be ready until right at release.

That and resolution gate.

 

[Jedi2016]

Oh I understand the average person probably doesn't understand HD resolution but they do understand "The X1 version is inferior to the PS4 version".

This. They won't need to know the technical details, just the end result.

I'm more curious about the embargo at this point, and what this "news" is. It does appear to be affecting the reporting of this topic, since gaming sites apparently aren't able to talk about it because of the embargo, but they are mentioning that the embargo exists... that alone is enough to stir shit up. I'm gonna have to write these dates down on my calendar somewhere, to keep an eye on the site here and various news sites on those days.

If all this turns out to be true you have to believe MS is going to just slug their way through for a year or two and try to rush out the cloud gaming experience that was detailed in the leaked roadmap.

 

[Kagari]

Can I? Or do I need to PM to get authorization?

PM.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Lol.

Sethos, are you getting a PS4? You double dipping on BF4? (I am seriously considering it of its 1080p...)

I'll be upgrading my digital PS3 version to PS4, since I'm not getting a PS4 at launch and it's only 10$. Can't wait for that 40-50GB download xD

Greenlight the bird, we must know.

 

[StoopKid]

If the difference between the consoles is basically resolution, than is irrelevant for the mass market.

I was outside putting shutters on my house, what did I miss?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

From what I understand, the big patch for Xbone is supposed to be in the neighborhood of 1.4GB. That could change in terms of size but that is supposed to be similar to the big day 1 patch. Improves system speed and pre-patch it's slow/er.

Don't hold out for the rest of us dammit!

PM this time, we don't want to lose you anymore.

 

[Loudninja]

You need 2 sources thuway remember that!

 

[IvorB]

I know right? that table usually would need like 2-4 people to lift. and she did it with while holding a handbag in one hand. haha

#beastmode

And she wasn't even winded. What an amazon. Brushed off the chairs thrown at her too...

 

[ironcreed]

Off topic, but I just want to apologize again for the gif. I was unaware of what accident that was. Just found a quick trainwreck gif.

 

[Demon Ice]

The order 1886...

There is no upscaling taking place in The Order. It's outputting a 1080p image with black bars. This is identical to Blu Ray output. If you consider that Sub-HD then you also consider Blu Ray to be sub-HD, and that's silly. Especially since that aspect ratio was decided on extremely early into the game's development.

 

[bigboss370]

Not that they're having trouble selling PS4s, but Sony needs to spread the damn word. CoD at 1080p, on a $100 cheaper console.

Christ, MS fumbled big time.

This should be good enough

 

[UNCMark]

Dude.....

He understands it was a mistake. Remove it from your quote please.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Can I? Or do I need to PM to get authorization?

Oh God, now I've got to stay up longer. REFRESH.

 

[Visualante2]

That would probably explain why people are buying 1080p TV's over 720p TV's despite being more expensive

To some people, more expensive means better and that's as far as their understanding goes. There are a lot of people with HD TVs watching SD content and they have no idea.

Oh I understand the average person probably doesn't understand HD resolution but they do understand "The X1 version is inferior to the PS4 version".

Agreed, I think it might boil down to "PS4 just has better graphics". But look at the last couple of generations. It didn't really matter all that much.

You do realize this is the exact, the exact same line, people used during the DRM debacle?

Look how that spread like wildfire and showed otherwise.

Kind of caught a wave on the Edward Snowden NSA scandal, though.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Can I? Or do I need to PM to get authorization?

And to think I was about to click away.

DRM affects the average consumer much more than resolution.

Someone needs to update the definition of cocktease with a link to this thread...

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Magic number on gaf ;P

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

we should keep adding lonely people into this lmao

If you keep...adding...lonelly people....

[TimeEffect]

[x-Lundz-x]

C'mon.

Seriously

 

[Gaz_RB]

God this launch is so damn entertaining. And it's only just begun...

Sometimes I feel like I'm more looking forward to the news an rumors than the consoles haha

 

[Portugeezer]

PM.

 

[PAULINK]

We're all doomed.

 

[Vanillalite]

Can I? Or do I need to PM to get authorization?

Oh shit do it, but make a new thread so the news gets out there!!!

 

[Glorified G]

720p is still serviceable. 900p would be ideal though.

480p was still serviceable in 2005/2006. But you kinda expect more out of a next gen console

 

[Vire]

 

[shinra-bansho]

I could have swore that Deep Down is 1080p/60fps

I think they've released both 1080p and 720p media. But I think recent media has been 720p.

The thing was originally running on a GTX680 or something iirc?

 

[Audioboxer]

Oh God, now I've got to stay up longer. REFRESH.

Clocks go back, it's all good.

They had to has tested the game at 1080p and see that the performance was not on par with the other versions.

And I don't see Activision wanting to put more resources into a finished game...

You know what is though? Price.

Done.

I think you're right.

 

[Y2Kev]

My question is still....

Why is Xbone so big?

 

[Paddington Bear]

The penny drops. Buckle up folks.

Bravo. Bravo

 

[Dead Man]

LOL

This is gold. Ignorance of your own specs is not a great defence.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

So much tease. I need drama, I need console war drama all over my face.

 

[Hidden One]

..I...fucking...love...this WEBSITE!

 

[Talladega Knight]
