So when MS says it has to be best on their platform, does this mean they will gimp the PS5 version?
So many faceoffs on the table.......It's the first launch I've seen so little from them, they are probably irate that PS5 is performing so well, after they've been parroting a "most powahful xbox for so long"....
Yet I think, they are just gearing up the "excuses and this will fix the series X version" spiels.....Or they are waiting till the devs patch the series X up, so they can say, we've read so many false conclusions out there and just as we thought "the xbox series x was patched to offer better performance, but they won't show where the sacrifices in visuals was made if that happens.....They will say, the games are like for like...
As it stands, right now at DF, it should be like this "Phuck man, how do we spin this in favor of XBOX?"
Let's blame the API, "that won't work Alex", you saw how your 'it's the lighting video backfired" Scrapped
Damn man that tough, "what you got John", Dude I've had enough of these biased leanings, people are catching up to us, it's hurting our credibility..
Richard: Think of the team John, remember how you got this job, MS helps put food on this here table...in the here and now. Sony barely wanted to give us a console or fly us to ND studios. ND never gave us a script to read to sound like we knew what we we're talking about "like the Coalition did for Gears"....Best know where your bread is buttered Micho...
Alex: I got it Richard San, I've got an idea...."we will say that both consoles are having issues with XBOX a bit moreso due to the API. We will say the VRS and the DRS systems are not working properly and that this affects XBOX more, since PS5 does not have VRS just as it doesn't have any hardware raytracing, right? I mean, it's a lie, but desperate times man. We've bent the truth before and many X fans have lapped it up.. We should be good though Richard right?
Alex: Man I keep on editing this video, these eagled ears Sony fans are so good, they'll call me out in seconds, Wahhhhhh!, I can't win.....Richard I can't do it...I just can't finish this video, they will eat us alive...Too many holes in this plot...
Thing about that is, you compromise your integrity and factual data, when you try to spin things to suit your own bias or to curb console war reactions on either side....In essence, they have biases that are constantly on display from their words in the videos.....Then at other times, when the console they least prefer is doing better, the language and enthusiasm in their speech is less enthusiastic......We hear lots of terms like "like for like 900p vs 1080 with better effects on 1080p", as opposed "a world away for DRS resolutions with worse framerates or that resolution is so crisp on XBOX".....In the PS4 days, it was "does resolution really matter?"
The bigger point is, with stats, you can't go wrong.....I've seen many videos where DF did not even properly interpret their own stats, giving wrong, minimums when right in their video it says otherwise.....Their opinions have been wrong countless times too. What effects are being used, calling better framerate on the wrong versions. Isolating a part of gameplay to say one console wins when it is discovered that overall the other consoles wins. Doing that with none like for like gaming comparisons to say "Hey you see the PS4 is struggling here" when they never test the same explosion on the XBOX...Saying many games were CPU starved on PS3, when it was shown very early on from 4A, that there is more CPU performance on the PS4 over the XBONE due to it's OS and API....In essence, lots of wrong takes, that could easily be disputed and thwarted......That is where the problem comes, because some people take their word as gospel even if what they are saying in their comparisons isn't true, they run with it because DF's bias meshes with theirs....
If Vgtech had to resort to opinions and bias pieces, he would be wrong many times too, but he just gives the stats, which can't ever be disputed....unlike DF....I do agree we need voiceovers in spelling out the differences in visuals, like the better lighting and textures in AC Valhalla PS5, but if you have a bias, you will never say that when it doesn't favor your bias, but will quickly have an eagled eye if these better visuals were reversed.....We are not blind we see and many of us have seen the differences between the versions clear as day, so we are always baffled when the tech experts can't see it mostly when PS has a lead...
As for ATD, the best person we have for that is NXGAMER.....Vgtech is stats, NXGAMER is eye for detail, it's how he made his name. The thing is with him, he doesn't need scripts from The Coalition to pretend to know what's going on in a game, he works in the industry and speaks the language, he is bonafide.....So a company will give you a PDF and say we are doing voxel gi, post perfect raytracing, you will run with that and say "hey these guys are doing voxel gi post perfect raytracing", when in reality, it might just be a fancy way of heightening a basic graphical process in the RT pipeline.....Here's the difference between a man who knows what going on vs one just parroting PDF PR. He'll show you the discrepancies in video, in realtime of that post perfect raytracing spiel you see in the PDF vs other methods or even it's limits over other methods....That's NXgamer for you, he knows his stuff and is not bullshotted by fancy words.....Let's see how it works and fares in realtime over other techniques, that's what a true technical mind pushes or is engaged in for debate....
