From a "dev"

If given the choice I do always favor more gpu, but we're getting to the point that it will take a mountain more gpu to really see the difference. It's like you see the difference between 16 colors and 256 colors quite easily, a bit less going from 256 to 32k colors, then less 32k to 16 million, etc. Each successive step takes much more computational power just to break even and yet the visual difference becomes less and less. I certainly don't subscribe to the theory that the extra gpu grunt on ps4 is wasted or unbalanced, I can't imagine there not being situations where they wouldn't be helpful. But I just don't see it being substantially enough to where it makes a huge visual difference especially given the typical persons inability to see differences in resolution once you get past a certain point. I was thinking back to console generations long gone and there have always been ways to pick one better than the other, but this coming generation strikes me as one where you'll be able to put both versions of the games in front of 100 people and 99 times they will not be able to pick a favorite.

I didn't type it. It's from a guy that's supposedly a repected dev on a forum. That's usualy enough to pass for you guys.

I don't know how true it is, but it directly relates to what we were talking about earlier so I posted :manny:

But, I always provide a link though.

:comeon: Im sure its going to be something trying to shyt on the UI that cant be proven true or false. You and your cohorts will treated as gospel and run with it as truth. And in the end it will be another meaningless post to talk shyt. Just like the tweets earlier was so called about MS when it was more about Sony.

:mindblown: Anything that criticizes or delivers unappealing news about Microsoft's properties is hating to you?? My god the entire internet including the majority of gamers, fanboys and journalists hate Microsoft for no reason huh?? For fukks sake get a grip. What's next Activision is hating on Xbox One that's why it's 720P??

Yes it is. The x1 has been by far the most hands on console in the last couple of months. MS has been the one showing of its UI etc. This is their forte. PS4 is the one missing in action for game reviewers etc. thats what the shyt storm on tweeter was about today. You just want fukkary the X1.
