A company only has do many positions at the upper levels and the AAA development space is small, a lot of these guys probably got to move into a more senior positionI mean, You're right. I won't deny it, they've poached the industry clean for the Initiative. But aggressive recruitment benefits the Devs as much as MS. Who's to say Devs at naughty dog aren't unhappy, or the rumors of ND crunch are real. Hell it could be as simple as MS offering %50 more for the same position with better benefits and unlimited resources at a new studio
Hmmm Rockstar, Santa Monica, Naughty Dog... it seems Xbos is trying to make their own big story driven single player game. Will it be a third person Perfect Dark or something entirely different? who knows but let's see what all that talent can do.I mean, You're right.

I had to read the article. I thought at first they were being sued because the controllers caused the double thumb syndrome. I am afraid of that. You Xbox guys are brave.
I would really love a new Dead Space, but I don't want to get my hopes up and end up disappointed so I'd say the chances are minimum. I hope I'm wrong.
Thats what I'm hoping for. Either that or whatever spy game they teased with the guy repelling down a sku scraper with fireworks going off nearby
Idk, I've checked many of thier linkedin accts, and plenty held senior and lead positionsat ND, insomniac and Santa Monica. I doubt MS would grab folks just to "promote them" for positions they aren't qualified for, regardless of past accolades
I think it’s rather funny... I thought most of the Evolution folk went to work on Codemasters... The makers of DiRT 5.
its not exactly a high bar to meet, note performance is not just TF. Let see how ps5 runs this game, as a racing game without RT and effects should be comfortable 4k60 so something does not add up.
DiRT 5 and our first Xbox Series X “enhanced” tests: 120Hz saves the uneven ride [Updated]
A bleeding-edge Xbox Series X feature impresses, but it deserves a prettier game.arstechnica.com
In "resolution" mode, the game runs in an apparently uncapped frame rate; this bounces between 30fps and 60fps, which averages out to roughly 40fps. This mode's dynamic resolution maxes out near 2160p and falls as low as an apparent 1440p. (Compared to Xbox One's heavily aliased DiRT 4, the jump in resolution this time around is very appreciated.)
Drop to DiRT 5's middle "frame rate" setting, and you'll see a mild hit to texture pop-in on the ground ahead of you, along with a noticeable hit to shadow pop-in in the near distance. Settings are otherwise mostly left intact, other than a dynamic resolution that scales down lower, while the frame rate gets close to, but doesn't lock to, 60fps.
Imagine the medical bills afterwards.
Didn't know the guy but seen several bans of his alts already.
The photo mode on this game is going to be INSANE
FH4 is getting Ultra settings 4k60fps on the XSX, so my guess is bad development. If the game is the same (or slightly worse) on the PS5 then we can lay the blame squarely at the developers feet. Maybe the game engine just doesn't scale well or they just have not had enough time to optimize. If you think about it, the game is targeting 9 different platforms (PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, Stadia, and PC).
That being said, the game does look good, just look at the Gamespot 4k upload (not IGN).
This can’t be right... Are you telling me they spent this whole time marketing Ray Tracing to ship the console with games that can’t use it because of their SDK. WTF!?John from DF says zero games will have raytracing at launch on xsx. What the actual fuck. After talking about it for 2 years .
All those talks about ps5 being rdna 1.5 and xsx being true rdna 2 is hilarious now. Karma

I'm an expert, can't you tell.
you do realize it is a new pipeline that is not available in most of the PCs, right? on paper it looks great, but we will need to wait for another 2-3 years to see the fruit of it. as long as Sony doesn't go full retarded to port games to PC day and date, we may see PS5 uses the new pipeline earlier.the next gen render pipeline scale with number of cu because mesh shader scale with and rely a lot on cu (SM for nvidia)
extract of nvidia presentation to support that :
- Higher scalability through shader units by reducing fixed-function impact in primitive processing. The generic purpose use of modern GPUs helps a greater variety of applications to add more cores and improve shader’s generic memory and arithmetic performance. (geometry engine is SOOOOOOO crucial)
- Flexibility in defining the mesh topology and creating graphics work. The previous tessellation shaders were limited to fixed tessellation patterns while geometry shaders suffered from an inefficient threading, unfriendly programming model which created triangle strips per-thread.
- Vertices are processed in parallel across the workgroup’s threads, just like the original vertex shaders.
- Vertex shaders can be made mostly compatible with mesh shaders with a few preprocessor insertions.
- Less data needs to be fetched due to greater vertex re-use (classic vertex shaders operate with a limit of max_vertices = 32 and max_primitives = 32). Average triangle mesh valences suggest that using twice the amount of triangles as vertices is beneficial.
- All data loads are handled via shader instructions instead of the classic fixed function primitive fetch and therefore scales better with more Streaming Multiprocessors. It also allows easier use of custom vertex encodings to further reduce bandwidth.
i saw you keep beating the dead horseI've seen the graphics drop heavily to what it seems as low as ~1440p here:
But it seems the whole resolution, then it returns to near 4K:
As reporters say, it's the whole resolution dropping, not VRS.
have you started playing genshin impact yet?
