If CBOAT ever spills publicly what s/he shared via PM regarding a myriad of other technical issues going on right now...

I'm going right back in that shelter and welding it shut.

Oh god, i'm trembling with anticipation.

This gen is going to be a blast.
 
He's quite the troll too lol:

Wow I wonder why he's former IGN

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her

Oh you can't do that, evil man, evil! :p
 
At least I know to cancel my Xbox One COD preorder. Will grab on PS4. I was really hoping to have COD on the Bone since I already have Killzone and Battlefield ordered for PS4, but I can't ignore this news.

PS3 had more gigaflops than 360.

But you could count on multiplats being better on Xbox 360. PS3's superiority only manifested itself in first-party games, so for this past generation, Xbox was still a contender for "most powerful" console.

The brand can't make that claim anymore.

im starting to think this shelter is going to a couple of renovations by launch time lol...
 
I'm glad you're here dousing the flames for MS, as per usual.
If there really is a resolution gap like this on the two biggest games of the entire year, then that's certainly worth discussing.

child please

I'm not doubting the rumor. I'm just saying why should we all give a fuck that another dude is repeating what others have said? If he wants to offer up claims of his own sources, fine, but giving someone attention because they repeated what we've all heard for days is not exactly news worthy. We've already got entire threads dedicated to this topic.
 
This guy just keeps running away with the 720p stuff and it's actually funny. Thanks for the final blow on these debates on what is 720p and what's not.

AI really dont see what the big deal is!

when I put that vid @ 1080p and watch it on my 40'' 1080p TV, it looks practically identical. With only only slightly more aliasing on the 720p version

360 vs ps3 games had bigger differences.

There must be some better native 1080p video on the internet showing the difference between 720p and 1080p, I would really appreciate if someone could post some links for such comparisons.

This shit again?

There's a difference between playing a game at 720p/1080p and comparing those than watching a shitty compressed Youtube video or looking at images.

720p while IN A GAME looks blurrier than 1080p on my 47" Panny.

I think it's pretty unprofessional of MS to know this and keep it all in the dark until the last possible second to take advantage of consumers.

It is and I'm not defending MS in any way. I just hope they learn from this and release a BEAST console next time around. The question is, will they have the right people behind it?

That is hilarious! But someone with a career like his shouldn't be doing that.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Megaton implications right here.

Are we looking at a light chance of rain, maybe with some Xbomb showers?
 
Why do people even care about Gies anymore? There are so many other individuals that do so much good and receive no recognition, yet his lies are always caught and GAF still talks about him.

Has he replaced Pachter as someone who GAF loves to berate? Let him be and let him enjoy the silence.

Gies is just a funny dude. Doesn't mean his opinion or his work is held to a high standard, which is why other names will be brought up in cases where it matters.

I didn't know there was a rule about who we can talk, and in this case there's context. You shouldn't be bothered by it.

I don't believe BF4 will be 1080p on PS4 but we'll see.

I would take 900p.
 
So how exactly console which uses GPU with power of radeon 7770 can't output modified Q3 engine game in 1080p ?

When that same card runs previous cods fine in 1080 on pc without any of that coded to metal magic sauce?
 
I don't really give a shit about the resolution being 720p on Xbone personally, but the apparent covering up of the info by MS is truly a lol worthy of song.

Gon' be gud when the comparisons start and the damage control and meltdowns hit critical mass.

Internet may not survive it.

I think this image is 720 vs 1080, can't find original post

Man, I really hope someone writes a book/expose on Xbox One's development in a few years. That would be an amazing read.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the OS hanging up for seconds at a time, I believe that was proelite's rumor.

I won't ask you what they are, as PM is private messaging. But, if we can entertain this as a bomb; are we talking a tsar bomba or an atomic bomb? I know CBOAT mentioned ESRAM or something akin being a major present issue for the platform, which I thought led to these differences in resolution.
 

ElTorro

I wanted to dominate the living room. Then I took an ESRAM in the knee.
There is chatter that many hardware decisions were interfered with by execs. File this under rumor and not fact... but the way this thing is unfolding it doesn't seem far fetched.

One decision that strikes me as odd is the decision to go with eSRAM on the same die instead of an additional eDRAM die on package. That would have led to 2x-4x the amount of embedded memory and would have not have cannibalized the silicon budget of the GPU. It would have made a substantial difference. The single reason against eDRAM (costs/manufacturing) seem "executivey" to me.
