But I was under the impression that why DF is who they are is because they have proven details/numbers/stats what have you. Generally what they have can't really be "debated" given there is concrete data. If NX Gamer is basically doing it by eye, then technically any of us could do what he does. If we cared enough to observe in the detail he does.
I only first heard of him on GAF after one of the DF Face Off threads came to the conclusion that a multiplay had a more stable framerate than a PS4 version. Can't even remember which one it was. Unity? Not 100% sure, but as a result, I suddenly saw posts popping up about this guy. Then watched his Uncharted vid and noticed that he simply talks about stuff any of us could see.
I guess it comes down to what people care about? Actual technical analysis or detailed observation? I"m not having a go at him, it takes commitment to do what he does, I'm just surprised that on a forum like GAF where concrete data is valued pretty much above all, a guy like this would even be given much time of day.
Dont get me wrong.
I get he shouldnt be put on such a high pedastal.
If anything people take his word too highly.
I even mentioned that in my time on GAF ive seen posters or rather threads that do a better job at technical analysis....he is just a nice spot to get a good amount of info in a quick video. And i can link his stuff without giving people a wall of text
Ive done tech analysis at his level to friends many many times, just never bothered to actually record them and my voice sounds gruff as shit so no one would want to hear me talk about anything.
I once went as far as to actually hook up two TVs in my living room and prove to people the differences between versions of a game.
Had i the voice, i would have just recorded that stuff and sent it.
So yeah lets not put him too too highly as a tech expert or something.
But it is stuff that i can appreciate, sometimes its even just because i dont have the time to explain to someone why chromatic abberation in game x is better implemented than in game Y, so just show them a video.
