FXAA creator. Comments section, author replies to somebody.



Lol he was just trolling.

Dammmmn. Reading that guys comment that he responds to is fricken embarrassing.

 

[i-Lo]

A virtual rollercoaster in here.

An unparalleled emotional rollercoaster.

 

[Evolution_1ne]

I say Oculus you say XBOX?

why are you here?

 

[Sid]

I say Oculus you say XBOX?

We say STFU

An unparalleled emotional rollercoaster.

Almost sounds like Heavy Rain.

 

[Spongebob]

why are you here?

Did I do something wrong?

We say STFU

?

 

[Kagari]

Ahaha, yosp is a master troll.

 

[Can Crusher]

Dammmmn. Reading that guys comment that he responds to is fricken embarrassing.

It's not news that a random guy on the internet (random123 lol) is trolling and calling names. I would say it's more embarrassing that the guy who everybody knows, is acting like a console warrior.

You talking about Tim? All his info seems to be based on old spec anyways. I can't imagine that Microsoft wouldn't use a custom OS. They have the tools and talent to do so and it makes no sense that they would simply put Windows on the system.

 

[DieH@rd]

Ahaha, yosp is a master troll.

He is such troll master. But yeah, that episode of Vergecast was great [expecialy when they compared using of Oculus with tripping on acid. ]

Dual camera?

Sony is the only company who covers all the spectrum of the 3D busines. Regarding 3D cameras they have both home and professional photo and video cameras :

Why am I seeing the same discussion as the Oculus tweet in here? I'm confused

FXAA creator. Comments section, author replies to somebody.

his fixation about durango being a dvr reminds me of spongebob and his numerous posts about durango being a stb.

 

[Can Crusher]

Yes I'm talking about Tim. His info might be based on old specs but he had no trouble telling an anonymous guy in the internet, what MS's plans for a generation are. And apparently how bad they are.

 

[Spongebob]

So people shaming MS for likely including Kinect with nextbox, but not doing the same for Orbis?

 

[DieH@rd]

It was Orbis related... until our souls were crushed.

 

[phosphor112]

oculus rift at sony's e3 presser? with possible launch day support? although what this means for sony's vr headset is anyone's guess.

Rift using OLED from Sony.
Supports VR on device.
???
Profit.

 

[Sid]

Well they have HMZ

 

[LuuKyK]

Kinect =/= Oculus Rift.

And this is maybe just a confusion. You are too much into it. Take a break.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Well they have HMZ

Which doesn't have as much hype as rift does.

 

[Sid]

Yeah I don't think it's as good either.

 

[Spongebob]

Read the OP, it specifically mentions a "dual camera".

 

[LuuKyK]

Read the OP.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the most recent news. Sorry.

But yeah, people are probably not trashing Sony because based on this gen they didnt push the PS Eye and the Move as much as MS did with Kinect, so maybe people are not expecting it to be the focus of Sony.

 

[Can Crusher]

Kinect =/= Oculus Rift.

And this is maybe just a confusion. You are too much into it. Take a break.

I think he means the dual camera. He sort of has a point if that's true.

 

[Polo67]

So is this VGs supposed leak they been hyping ?

 

[Heshinsi]

So people shaming MS for likely including Kinect with nextbox, but not doing the same for Orbis?

Move has done some really cool things with core games like KZ3, outside of some weak as hell voice and hand commands, Kinect hasn't.

 

[DieH@rd]

Well they have HMZ

HMZ gives you the feeling of being in a cinema. Its great for movie watching [dual OLED goodness].

Oculus... give us much much more immersion.

 

[Sid]

Well Vita has dual cameras....

I hope they at least support HMZ with the Orbis.

 

[Derrick01]

They will be shamed when any of this is confirmed in the near future.

 

[Clay Davis]

he's talking about the dual cameras the orbis will reportedly come with.

probably move related, so it's nothing like kinect, but who really knows.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Yes I'm talking about Tim. His info might be based on old specs but he had no trouble telling an anonymous guy in the internet, what MS's plans for a generation are. And apparently how bad they are.

He is a tech guy of course he is going to be all in love which whatever one he perceives is throwing caution to the wind and putting as many shiny parts in it as possible.

Who figured the creator of FXAA was also a closet console warrior?

It's not news that a random guy on the internet (random123 lol) is trolling and calling names. I would say it's more embarrassing that the guy who everybody knows, is acting like a console warrior.

Wait, are you being serious? He's a "console warrior" because he doesn't agree with your opinion on the Durango specs?

 

[Gemüsepizza]

Well they have HMZ

Different target group. HMZ is an expensive device optimised for watching movies. Oculus has a bigger FOV (bad for movies), reduced latency (useless for movies) and headtracking (usesless for movies).

Well Vita has dual cameras....


I hope they at least support HMZ with the Orbis.

It already supports PS3/Xbox 360 and all HDMI devices. It's not really a VR display, just a movie viewer.

 

[Clay Davis]

I'd argue his bias is pretty apparent in this post he made on his blog...

As for the big picture, you are talking about making money on the platform and insuring your investors want to pump money into your company. Something tells me that the big picture for Microsoft aligns well with: (a.) not making a custom OS, it is high cost, (b.) cheaper hardware, don't sell at a loss, (c.) selling a DVR, going after more than just gamers, (d.) focus on the more casual, larger player base, (e.) refresh hardware often, get people to purchase more often, (f.) build a "PC", easier to port games from. Which aligns with my predictions.

http://timothylottes.blogspot.fr/2013/01/orbis-and-durango.html

So because he's offering his opinion on where Microsoft might be focusing their efforts in the console business which, given their recent history would line up pretty well, he's a "console warrior"?

Apparently :S

 

[yn-neko hates a cat]

It's a next gen thread on neogaf. This is tame behavior compared to 2006. I just want to see one of these guys become the next El Presedor or Chad Warden

You weren't around in 06.

I'd argue he has a clear bias. it was immediately apparent to me.

now whether you want to reduce that to console warrior is on you and others, but reading his blog post and then the comments, it's clear he's gushing over one console and assuming the best possible scenario and continually down and assuming the worst possible scenario for the other.

that, in my book at least, is evidence enough of him having a clear bias.

Oh... right! I almost forgot. It must have been Kotaku or something...

Didn't the guys at Oculus Rift say they couldn't reveal who would be making the displays in the Dev unit and the final consumer unit?

Why would they withhold the name of the manufacturer supplying the displays?

not sure I understand what you're suggesting.

Well your point still stands. It was like the beaches of Normandy here.

Its a pretty unprofessional response. I can't imagine why he would have a console preference though, especially working at Nvidia. I think he is letting his assumption of things going on at Microsoft skew him perspective a bit.

New to these rumor threads eh.
