Ken, Ken is that you?

 

[Leckan]

Doesn't Super Stardust HD run at 60 fps in 3d meaning 120 fps?

So technically it's possible but won't happen for 99.99% games.

 

[Interceptor]

Poor PS4. How is it even possible to build a machine with less power than the Wii U?

 

[Axiom]

I've been on GAF in its various forms for a long ass time, but I have never burst out laughing reading a topic title like that ever.

That made my night.

 

[tokkun]

I like the "more characters on screen" comment. Seems like a throwback to the days of 8 and 16-bit systems when everyone was concerned with the number of sprites on screen.

 

[Roche]

What a silly thing to say.

 

[Aquamarine]

Pachter is on goddamn fire these days.

He's the video game industry's greatest troll. I actually respect the guy for how much nonsense he's gotten the press to "report on."

 

[tnaden]

Ahahahaha. Oh man...

He actually believes that doesn't he?

 

[Ryoku]

Pachter doesn't even know what FPS is, aside from first-person-shooter.

 

[Sorian]

You heard it here first folks! PS4 runs at 0 fps!!!!!!

 

[moe6142]

meaning ps4 will be underwhelming.

 

[Fudgepuppy]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the video where he says that Fuse will sell 5m copies because their previous console-exclusive games never sold less than 3m.

Pachter used to be able to fool some people, but now it's just too blatant for anyone to believe his schtick.

 

[aegies]

Chances this is a misquote or misunderstanding across a language divide?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I think he knows he is wrong all the time so he just goes with these ridiculous statements for fun.

 

[Grakl]

 

[Jibbed]

Why is this moron newsworthy anyway? I'm not dissing the thread but come on, this is nonsense.

Don't tell me he's paid to spout shit like this.

 

[Sowee]

How does he even make money?

 

[throwawayname]

Whaaaat?! Only 240 fps?? PFF no buy then.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Chances this is a misquote or misunderstanding across a language divide?

No dude. The original source is actually Bloomberg.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-...update-in-push-to-keep-consoles-relevant.html

How the hell did they publish this?

 

[DrM]

Probably games will be as hyperrealistic like his market predicitions are

 

[flippedb]

So PS4 will suck? Oh man.

 

[protonion]

So I'll lose more frames when I blink?

 

[Nokterian]

Pachter is on a roll these days,such a funny man.

 

[ponpo]

Current-generation games typically render at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Oh.

 

[Glass Rebel]

He's about to change the industry so in his last few moments he's just trying to find out how hard he can troll us.

 

[Erasus]

Patcher is awful. Even I could probably be a better analyst. 200+fps? Why, TVs can show 60 or 120 max...

 

[Lagspike_exe]

It's going to be like jacking into Matrix.

 

[beast786]

Is hyperrealism more real than real life?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=468511

 

[EMT0]

I want to get payed to make up ridiculous bullshit too

 

[Withnail]

I wonder if he's getting confused with the new 240Hz TVs or something. Or something to do with 3D.

Despite what GAF thinks he doesn't just make random shit up, there will be a basis for the 240fps claim even though it's clearly nonsense.

 

[SpookyBlackFish]

Are we going to see Pachter having a serious if not fatal meltdown if PS4 ends up with only shitty 120fps?

 

[kinggroin]

Imagine the next DoA!? 240 fps!

Spoiler

Faps per second

 

[Alienous]

Every time I try to defend this guy, he comes up with something like this.

And to think, he's a paid professional. People make investments, their hard earned money, on statements like this ...

Uh, my head's hurting.

 

[rvy]

By 2016, it will render games at 25 fps.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

INB4THEFEELOF240FPS

 

[Exuro]

Just like how the PS3 plays games at 120 fps.

 

[BlastProcessing]

Thank you for this... just... thank you.

 

[WickedLaharl]

I'm still waiting for 120FPS games in 4D on PS3

 

[dragonelite]

First Fuse selling 5 million copies now 240fps ps4 game and Hyper realistic is that like hyperborea form of realistic ??

 

[salromano]

Why do people continuously make threads / news stories for things Pachter says?

Isn't he right like 3 percent of the time?

 

[Barry Burton]

Sub-30 fps confirmed.

 

[enzo_gt]

Pachter tryna get that Jack Thompson status.

 

[MisterHero]

Screw 4D. That's like 6 or 7Ds, right?

 

[JaseC]

It's going to be like jacking into Matrix.

And here I was expecting to jack off Matrix.

 

[whatevermort]

It's Pachter. Stop talking about him, writing about him, listening to him. He is a machine of faeces, spewing bullshit whenever he opens his mouth. His career is built on this.

 

[Kazerei]

What's the point of having a processor capable of running at 240 fps when the human eye can't even appreciate it?

 

[doniewhalberg]

Just laughed out loud during a mouthful of food over the 240fps. Too good. After that and the comment about Fuse the other day, surely he's just cottoned onto Gaf and the like ripping it out of him and now he's just giving bait. Any difference in where he's been giving these comments to from the norm or anything?

 

[Globox_82]

Pachter

 

[Manmademan]

Is this man drunk when he writes these? I would pay a LOT of money for Pachter to do an AMA explaining himself one of these days.

 

[Y2Kev]

This is really trolling, lol. Awesome trolling, but trolling.
