The game in question is rrelevant. It's not about Tomb Raider it's about the console war.

One console is rendering the game at 30FPS while the other is rendering at 60FPS. This is the first time a game has done same resolution but had variance in framerate (before this we had the resolution differences).

There are people out there that do not like high-def. They say it's too distracting and shiny for their liking, colors and sharpness are too popping and strain their eyes. They prefer the softer more bland IQ of standard definition. I can't believe like that exist but they do.

We're actually supposed to buy our first HDTV this year. Yes, in 2014.

And this TV will probably be used for nothing more than SD Indian satellite channels my grandma will watch sitting on the couch.

Probably because of a steady supply of trolls/astroturfers posting obviously dumb shit that people quote and respond to page after page anyways.

Atleast Xbox made this new console generation interesting. If both machines were at parity specs-wise people would be focusing more on how both have pretty mediocre tech and are generally very conservative in their designs. Imagine how boring this new gen would've been without MS shooting itself repeatedly in the foot every month and a half.

Sounds like my grandma. My parents have a 55" HDTV in their room and a paltry 32" in the living room, and I can't even use it because my grandma just watches The Filipino Channel all day. :(

Yup. I couldn't go down there to game if I wanted.

I mean I have like a 23" monitor to game with which I'm fine with, but it sucks when I have people over; especially because my monitor produces so much heat.

It's important, but not make/break kind of important it seems to be to some people's lives. I don't think game detail and textures are at a point where 1080p+ resolutions are necessary.

My guesses:

MLG wins a secret bidding war with either Ninty or MS for Smash or KI respectively.
EVO partners up with something for 2014 that will be divisive

When people nitpick about resolution and all the technical mumbo jumbo then you know they aren't really looking to enjoy the game. When I play a game and having the time of my life with it, the last thing on my mind is the technical details of it. SFIV is ugly as hell for the most part but that doesn't stop me from enjoying playing it.
Deadly Premonition is another example, probably the best for this generation.It looks like something that could be done on the PS2 and has some of the most lol worthy presentation but is one of my favorite games of the generation because of everything else good about it.

Me either. I'd much rather have 60FPS be more of a staple than 1080p, but you know muh jaggies bawwww

Thanks for reminding me to play Deadly Premonition. I can't believe I haven't played the game yet after hearing so many great things spoken about it.

Low res console games don't bother me that much. Higher res would make some things look better, but it's whatever. Give me a good game. This whole generation is gonna be about the graphics arm race once again. A lot of spectacle flashy shallow ass games on the horizon.

It's the same as every gen really. Starting out people value graphics a lot and games tend to sell based on these attributes. Then the dust settles and people start valuing actual good games more. The games out right now for next gen are going to look mediocre in 2 years time.

That's not to say that good graphics game won't sell... they will but to do big numbers you need good graphics and good overall game.

FChamp hypes up stream by saying he has found out "new" tech against Wolverine.

Shows off way to beat double Dive Kick, Dive Kick into Berserker Slash and everything. The method is just backwards plink dash on the ground as it option selects throw and block + back dash.

He didn't know that many people knew about it (including GAF's own Frantic) and claimed it as his own discovered tech.

Fraudulence at its finest.

I like high def but my PS2 looks superb on my Sony Trinitron with component cables resolution aside. 2D fighters and shmups look nice. Also Sega Dreamcast with VGA cables to an LCD is pretty amazing, first time I was really blown away by 3D graphics before high def came along.

Nintendo forgetting how to console made this generation. MS sticking to their guns on the DRM? Now that would have been real entertainment.

It stopped being about the arms race a while ago. Now it's about the dozens of games you can get for the price of an Italian meal. Especially if we're talking indie games.

I am very interested to see who sponsors ChrisG. Seeing as how he is without a doubt the best fighting game player in the US, I see no reasons why the big teams, particularly Complexity, wouldn't want to add him to their roster.

I don't know if he's surpassed Justin yet, but he's getting there.

How are there even top players who don't even know what tech is out there. Embarrassing.
Click to expand...
When it comes to Marvel the top players are like months if not years behind the discovered tech.

I have been trying to show FChamp two specific anti Vergil techs that if he incorporated into his game he would destroy most Vergils. Too bad whenever I post them in chat CJ comes up to the stream and says "stop with the god damn anti Vergil tech!"

And then when he "finds" it himself he declares that he found the tech himself and calls people idiots who say that it was found out already.


In any case to answer your question... they don't know tech because they don't need it. Especially for FChamp who is still using tech that most other top players aren't... in terms of tech he is still ahead. Out of the "gods" of Marvel... Justin has the least tech and he still just won a big tournament! Tech is irrelevant... skill is everything. Of course every top player starts utilizing tech then you have to keep up. If no one uses it then there is no need. Since FChamp and Nemo started using plink dashing to dominate people... more players have started using it.

People tried to make comp L4D a thing, but it never took off. It's fun as hell with solid teams, but the whole tourney/esports stuff was a bit contrived given the lack of options for it in the game. I'm hoping maybe L4D3 at least has some reasonable spec/casting options. Considering everything they're building into Source for Dota/CSGO, it's should be a given.

If you want to look at best overall US player, Justin's better than Chris at SFxT, while Chris is better at Injustice and Marvel. They're pretty close in AE but I think Justin still has a slight edge, and who knows what will happen when Ultra is out.

Rog's probably third, but he pretty much only does well in Capcom games.

Chris is also better at Skullgirls and P4A, having killed both games because of it.

This would be so good. L4D is awesome.
