What are alpha-blending effects and why do they cause framerate drops?

Well ok then, personally I see a lot of similarities between the two.

Since we can't get tim dog's reaction...
GOd damn, I really wish he and tim dog had GAF accounts so we could experience this stuff in real time. Maybe even at 60fps*

with periodic drops to 37

It's not possible for me to take a tweet like that serious.

how would you see impact? cboat threads are on reddit and every other gaming website. It all feeds back to GAF, and they think anything he says is fact. People are even taking his word over the dev. in this exact thread.

ntkrnl has/had an agenda to get people to buy an Xbone. Same coin, the truth is the truth.
I think CBOAT was smoked out right around when kernel came in. Respawn was on standby to deny his claims, a very unusual act from anything Microsoft related.
indeed proof of an agenda.
I just watched Angry Joe's review of Brink and it seems to have had a lot of good ideas, but zero execution.
So as long as Respawn can take some of those ideas and properly execute on them, then all is well. The Beta shows they're executing just fine.
That ones easy.
It's 720 to cut down on tearing and dips, which were present in the alpha and beta. 72 lines of resolution ain't worth dropping more frames.
But respawn...?
But if you read the OP of this thread, it's already debunked by Respawn. The game runs higher than 720p

Talk about throwing someone under the bus. Until the game launches I don't think anyone should call BS on his claim. Sometimes he's right, sometimes he isn't. He's right more often than he's wrong (maybe not as much recently) but given that MS is in crisis mode that is most likely why.

Is that English? What... I don't even..
Remember How PS4 Tomb Raider had TressFX, and XBone version didnt?
I don't read Albert's posts cause I assume they're spin, but if he's made any false claims he should be held accountable as well.
Famous people like Dyack have been banned, CliffyB threads are banned, sites that post false info are asterisked out, etc. CBOAT shouldn't get special treatment just because he/she has been right in the past.
Ah thanks for that, knew I didn't imagine that thread lol

Ask me about the GAF Notebook

Not sure if its unoptimized code for this particular subject or the under powered hardware.
Basically when Titans dot the map the framerate dips.
The thread is about them specifically not dropping the resolution. It's going to atleast be 792 unless the developers are lying.
The timing of new rumours is always pretty funny. As if to counter any perceived positivity.
Titanfall can rub me wherever it wants to.

Yes.this is true, are you saying cboat is the flipside of the coin? because thats what I'm saying.

Oh come on now. The hyperbole around here is really no better on any given day... Just more varied.

He has changed things...forever.
People are arguing that sometimes devs and pubs lie for the sake of PR which is why we are waiting for DF to give us an actual verdict.

Not even the people who play the game daily?
You caught me!
This would be pretty blatant though no? Ban bets? Straight up denials?
Like, they haven't even hedged
I don't. The movement/parkour in Brink was far more involved and reliant on where you were looking. Titanfall's movement is far more automatic and intuitive. Frankly I think Titanfall feels more like Mirror's Edge in terms of movement far more than it feels like Brink.

What happened to Tim Dog? Anger management got the best of him?
The alpha channel is the transparency component in a color description, e.g. of a pixel. You use this to describe the transparency of smoke, etc. Alpha blending is the process of determining the final color of a pixel on screen by mixing all the colors of overlapping pixels according to their alpha values. If I am not mistaken, the performance of this step is mostly limited by the GPU's pixel fillrate. (I am a computer scientist, but not in the field of computer graphics, so I am an easy victim to the Dunning-Kruger effect, but I think this explanation is mostly correct.)

Have you not read his livejournal? It's amazing. The xbox one has a second hidden GPU. Double layered ram.
He also made this which he thinks somehow makes a point about... I don't even know what.

That's not what he said at all.
"If people are still considering the the xbox one after all we know, nothing I say will change their mind."
which is exactly what im saying :- outside of forum debates that ultimately amount to nothing, CBOAT hasn't effected anything.
edit: actually its "nothing I say", not "nothing I can say"

We should be careful though. Everything is being upscaled to 1080p in the end. If you see it that way, they're technically not dropping the resolution.
Would be weird, but who knows. As Pete said, the industry is bonkers.
Not sure why the guy can't make a mistake once in a while.
This thread is really something. I do can see a pattern in which he only seems to share negative news the Xbox One. Still, his track records is pretty good so far.

XBone Tomb Raider does have TressFX.

I personally think he's a parody blogger that didn't expect this much popularity and just went with it. No one sane would believe what he says.
Yep. Those posts were made when the Xbone was at the lowest of the low in regards to perception. If somebody was intending to still buy one, anything he said would have no effect.

... He spelled his own God damn fucking website wrong.
still I'd rather wait than believe either party. at this point I believe one as much as I believe the other.

Please tell me the spelling mistake was purposeful. Please.....
Well didn't they both have it?
I see - thanks for the article. Strangely enough, I only seldom noticed framerate drops.

It was very rough around the edges, but my point was the story mode being done in MP will be similar. Cutscenes before and after missions, and some dialogue during, and that'll be about it.
We'll see soon enough.
