Just stop being lazy and learn to use the 'search' feature before make assumptions of 'bullying' sir.
Im not a white knight because youre a pack of bullies.
Ive still yet to see a legitimate reason as to why everyone is obsessed with this guy.
The guy went crying to the mods on Resetera of all places when he couldn't handle the heat. He's happy to dish out bullshit but when it comes back his way he turns into a pansy.
I've said it before but he should stick to PC topics, that's his area of expertise and that's why DF hired him in the first place. I actually appreciate some of his input in that area (PC game settings videos in particular). John and Rich are great and have everything else more than covered.
Im not taking a side here, but I think it’s fair to point out that every recent DF thread seems to contain at least a solid percentage of “Alex sucks” posts even if he’s not in the said video. I still don’t understand what he did other than post about the PS5 on era or something like that
Is there a source of some sort for that?
Is this a possibility? Maybe software emulation.I hope PS5 native mode removes framerates/rez caps to to force 4k/60fps or 4k/30fps
I feel its safe to assume that those psychos over at reset got upset because he didnt praise sony-son out the arse and as such, they resorted to DDoS or harassing him via social media or PMs.

Nothing of the sort, well not that I've heard of. If anything he's more likely to have been involved in coordinated misinformation campaigns going in the opposite direction based on the discord chat logs that were going around a few weeks ago.
Everyone has their biases and that's fine (rich is more biased towards Xbox, John is more favourable towards Playstation) but this guy tries to claim that he's 100% unbiased and is an innocent bystander because he's a PC guy. If that's the case then what's he doing joining and participating in a toxic Xbox only discord group?

Its not fair to point out like that because that sound as a massive generalization. You can look up for my posts, I don't go telling he sucks everytime a video of him appears. I just ignore and move on. And its a nice way to let people openly tell their dislikes of DF, because in the end no one likes the same thing. I respect you if you like him as much as anybody who like him. And I respect Alex as well, even though I don't like his videos.

Yeah a mix of hw and sw where they target specific games in the emulator, kinda like how MS handles 360 emulationIs this a possibility? Maybe software emulation.

I rather prefer they opt to used the Microsoft approach about BC.Yeah a mix of hw and sw where they target specific games in the emulator, kinda like how MS handles 360 emulation
Not getting my hopes up though
Thats not helping your cause.
What assertions am I suppose to decipher from this crime scene?
Considering not even PCs most advanced titles have leveraged the SSD the way sony claims its going to (which would render third party open world titles obsolete if this tech is limited to Sony. No Ubisoft games on Xbox or PC? Hardly), Its only logical to assume Sony is simply marketing what they have vs trying to go toe to toe with raw power (tflops).
This a is toy we're talking about. Coordinated misinformation campaigns...please.
The thing is, they can't. Most games are based around consoles and the vast majority of PC only games target people who still use mechanical harddrives.
There should be a shift next gen because both consoles have fast SSD's so we will start seeing SSD's being a requirement for next gen only titles that get ported to PC.
It's the same way that we will see almost all PC titles start to have some features that require hardware ray tracing to be present in order to enable them. It would be easy for people to say "it won't make a difference" when it's just a handful of titles where it's been poorly implemented for the most part but when games start being designed around these features from the start we will see some impressive stuff. Right now it's just an add on feature to an existing game that was made without ray tracing in mind for pretty much all games.
The idea that the SSD's will only make a difference as far as load times are concerned is the biggest misconception being thrown around.
Certain current gen PC open world titles chug when run on a mechanical hard drive (even skyrim ffs), it doesn't take a genius to see how these things being standard will start to have a huge impact on things like draw distance and texture streaming considerations. If developers no longer have to worry as much about those things then what else does that free them up to do? It's exciting times for everyone but yet on one side you have people playing down TF's and Ray tracing hardware units and on the other side there are idiots down playing SSD's.
If I sat here and was all like "well I've had SSD's in my PC since 2013 and I've seen no difference" then yes, please feel free to call me a short sighted idiot.
Yeh, tell that to the people who are going out of their way to do that shit then. Report spamming, racism, countless alt accounts. All in the name of console wars.
The SSD can be as fast as it wants, but its only the storage of assets. If the CPU, GPU and Ram along with a games general optimization are not up to scratch, it doesn't matter how fast the SSD is. Thats why Alex mentioned the cloud, as a reference to the bull that MS pulled with Crackdown 3 and the cloud, which might i add, that sony fans had no issue tearing apart and rightly so.
When theyre protected by not only mods of a gaming forum, but social media as a whole? Yeah, ill get right on it.
There's a big difference between something being pulled over the Internet and being limited on a connection by connection basis to something that depends only on the bandwidth on a piece of hardware which will be identical across all the consoles that are manufactured.
This is another thing I can't understand, why is it being compared to the "power of the cloud" ? It's not even close.

Man... The Last Guardian runs so poorly.
I guess not. If I watched this video right, 900p. Maybe this game get the same sittuation as Bloodborne, maybe the engine is the problem, because Last Guardian was target as a PS3 game, right? Then, after the sucess of PS4 they decide to 'port' (aka ressurect the code) for PS4.It also uses dynamic rez, right?
Would be awesome to see it in native 4k and at least capped/locked 30 if possible
Is this enough context?They took everything he said out of context
Is this enough context?
Nothing against the guy btw, he just needs to be less stuck up and own up to it when his hot takes ends up missing the mark

I didn't see him making that point anywhere, and on the topic of PS5 was specifically designed to output 8-9GB/s typically. The best example given by Cerny was that instead of caching data in ram for the next 30 seconds of gameplay they only need to cache data for the next one second of gameplay enabling them to use most of the memory for what's actually beeing rendered. The other example was that assets could be streamed on the fly as you turn aroundYou can have the fastest, biggest, bestest, badest SSD around, but if the cpu, ram, gpu cant keep up, then it doesnt matter. That is the point Alex is making. Which is also what was said about the cloud and then proven to be true. You can stream and store assets as well as you like, but it means nothing to the process of processing data and rendering it.
Bottlenecks.
I agree that place is trash but not because they called him out for saying something and backtracking without acknowledging it. That's just holding people accountable for the shit they saySeems like a bit of over reaction. But I know some discussions can end up heating, even more when he is accused of something. In those cases is better not engage. Hes not wrong about Resetera though, but he better watch out what he says in front of nazi mods.
Sony are the one's acting obtuse about BC at launch.
The answer is in what you just posted...
The weakest of the component or software is a bottleneck restricting everything else in the food chain.
A one way bridge when theres another car halfway along, so now you and your Ferrari need to wait.
That's not true.Then, I guess MS is, too. Before they claimed it would be basically 100% B/C, only to change their official stance to similar wording that Sony used. Rich is just spreading more FUD.
The whole premise of the video was to show "the limitations of BC on a PS5", just that, the limitations... Well Well, so much optimism by a gaming channel...... Because I can't think of the wide possibilities of how a 10.23TF console with a super fast SSD is going to improve games made on 1.84TF with mechanical drives..... I have to make an entire video to re-iterate how confused I am on PS5's BC, yet making sure I drop in the ad-line.... "Microsoft has been doing this for years and Sony has to play catch up".....I was talking about their whole attitude since last year:
- RT won't be possible for lighting, only for Audio (after the first Wired interview in which they talked about RT applied to graphics for several paragraphs).
- PS5 has no hardware RT (a definitive statement in one of their video).
And recently their whole flawed comparison using RDNA1 to imply that PS5 RDNA2 high clocks won't translate into higher performance, or not much higher.
That's all their words and deeds. I am not spreading FUD, they are.
It would be great if Sony collaborated with third party devs to raise framerate and resolution caps to 4k/60fpstitles will run at a boosted frequency on PS5 so that they can benefit from higher or more stable framerates and potentially higher resolutions". The organisation added: "We’re currently evaluating games on a title-by-title basis to spot any issues that need adjustment from the original software developers.
It also uses dynamic rez, right?

Thx. Gonna edit my post. Base is native 1080p.Face-Off: The Last Guardian
After nine years, The Last Guardian is finally complete. It's a game we can all now experience for ourselves, after man…www.eurogamer.net
Ssd has nothing to do with cpu or GPU catching up. An ssd cannot saturate those.You can have the fastest, biggest, bestest, badest SSD around, but if the cpu, ram, gpu cant keep up, then it doesnt matter. That is the point Alex is making. Which is also what was said about the cloud and then proven to be true. You can stream and store assets as well as you like, but it means nothing to the process of processing data and rendering it.
Bottlenecks.
That last paragraph of Dictators, hes highlighting the issues that Id tech 5 had with RAGE and megatexture/prebaked shadows and lighting. John Carmack dropped it for a reason. It takes massive amounts of storage and thats why RAGE had low res textures. Your not streaming data into the world using assets grabbed from a texture bank, instead, youre rendering an entire scene as it was designed by a concept artist. Everything little detail rendered perfectly for that one scene with nothing reused from else where..
What? Alex seems to be a super nice guy, man.
Im not taking a side here, but I think it’s fair to point out that every recent DF thread seems to contain at least a solid percentage of “Alex sucks” posts even if he’s not in the said video. I still don’t understand what he did other than post about the PS5 on era or something like that
For first party games it might be a possibility, but they won’t be able to do it for 3rd party games without some sort of deal being struck.I hope PS5 native mode removes framerates/rez caps to to force 4k/60fps or 4k/30fps
Well they need to patch it to support higher resolutions, fix the framepacing and add some AA. I have zero issues with a smooth console 30fps.
This, it was so black and whiteEver since the Road to PS5, I've interpreted the way backward compatibility were announced/described like this...
The wast majority of PS4 titles will "just work" straight up, no patches or work needed, because they will use PS4 mode* or PS4 Pro mode*. *(BC mode profiles)
However we (Sony) have also tested the top 100 played games in PS5 Native mode (Boost mode for a PS4 title) and of the 100 titles tested so far...
No confusion at all...
Fixed that for you.Microsoft won a lot of NEOGAF gamers with BC, PS5 could elevate a lot of PS4 games through BC
