pffft that list is for fanboys not hardcore gamers....

BrianOBlivion2404d ago (Edited 2404d ago )

"Swear brand loyalty"?? uh, no.
We'll play on any and every platform. It's about the games, not the brands.

deadwiseman852404d ago

I completely agree. I have a PlayStation 4 and Xbox one , dreamcast, ps3, xbox 360, and pre-ordered xbox one x. I really don't care what the console is at all, if you love game's it shouldn't matter what system it's on.

81BX2404d ago

True that. I love my Xbox but will drop it in a minute to play uncharted

Harmy6662404d ago

According to this I'm not a hardcore gamer....

I'm a fanboy!

Dun Dun Duuuuuunnnn!

Is that what hardcore means then?
haha

Segata2439d ago

ROFL! "hardcore" and it's basically Wii sports and CoD. Yes, Wii sports is hard to the core Y'all! That Mutha truckin CoD is hardcore on the real son! Think I will keep playing MUSHA and 1cc it like the casual gamer than I am in shame.

snipershot3252439d ago

All of those celebrities announcements were from 7th gen lol is gaming to mainstream now so they don't care about professing their love for it so they can be a "nerd"

C-H-E-F2439d ago

Olivia Munn is probably the only REAL "hardcore" gamer of them all seeing she used to be on my favorite tv show growing up. (G4 Attack of the Show)

Whatever2342439d ago

Sorry to burst you'r bubble but she was on that show to help launch her acting career.She new nothing much about gaming.Just what the cewcards read.

modelgod2438d ago

Really? That's disappointing. I really thought she was a gamer. Bitch! !!!!

Segata2439d ago

Aots was horrible. You should feel bad. It was gutter trash. Yeah, nothing screams "hardcore gamer" than eating a bunch of hot dogs hanging from a ceiling.

C-H-E-F2437d ago

Every show on G4TV was my favorite show growing up, even robot wars. And I mean, I see gamers on twitch do far worst for views, but they play games to pay the bills so that doesn't make them hardcore gamers?? lOl

Mr Marvel2439d ago

Yup, you're a real hardcore gamer when your game of choice is Wii Sports. LMFAO

Is Locking Destiny 2 at 30FPS on Xbox One X the Right Call?

Destiny 2 is capped at 30FPS on all consoles, including the Xbox One X. That's got a lot of people angry. Are you one of them? What do you think about Bungie's decision?

The Gizmo Life discusses their thoughts on the matter.

Sounds like devs didn't have a choice on it (and the PS4 PRO) judging by the way their game engine works.

Most likely as more to do with not putting og x1 and PS4 owners at a disadvantage in crucible

DARK_WOLF2500d ago

This is literally the only reason its 30.

Other games are doing 60 wth better visuals and its 60 on PC so not an engine issue.

fenome2499d ago

It would be cool if they added specific lobbies in the crucible for people with the upgrades to play against each other.

dumahim2499d ago

More likely the minor processor upgrade isn't capable of pushing much more frames per second. Better to be locked at 30 than jumping all around 40-50.

Yes cuz the Xbox one S users will be @ a huge disadvantage online matches.

Lilrizky2500d ago

I think it has more to do with fairness to xbox one players. Xbox One X players will have a huge advantage over the xbox one players in pvp if one runs at 60 and the other runs at haf

xfiles20992499d ago

When are you people going to realize the reason it cant get to 60 is because of the weak cpu in both consoles

XanderZane2499d ago

I think for them to allow both XBox One and XB1X gamers to play the game together, they need to have the FPS be the same. I honestly thought they could have just let the XB1X gamers play against the PC gamers instead at 60fps. I don't understand why then couldn't do both. I'm sure they could simple lock the game at 30fps for one mode and 60fps for another. Unless the PC & XB1X versions are vastly different.

Get a proper cpu ANd then come back. Tired of excuses. A jag cpu will never be a good match for 4k at 60 frames. No Matter how much overclock or custom.

slate912500d ago (Edited 2500d ago )

You can still do lower res/higher frame rate. Don't tell me this game is more demanding than bf1/stbf2. Especially if we are just talking Destiny 2's competitive modes.

Asuka2500d ago

I dont think so, as you lower resolutions games become more cpu bound as the gpu would be able to push out frames faster than the cpu can request for the next frame. At the end of the day the jaguar cpus are a bottleneck.

Its not as simple as "oh it can't do 4k/60, so just do 1080/60." The resolution isn't the problem here. This is why when a new cpu comes out into the market, e.g. Ryzen, it is benchmarked on games using lower resolutions such as 1080p as running games at lower resolutions creates a more cpu bound senario.

HeyNowChillax2500d ago

Really good point there. BF1 runs at 60FPS on PS4 Pro. A sight to behold.

xsta1ker2500d ago (Edited 2500d ago )

Asuka
thats not the case a lower resolution holds less textures witch means it takes less draw calls to produce
the image... thats why developers dropped the resolution on games to 900-720p to hold a steady fps
on ps4 and xb1.

XanderZane2499d ago

@HeyNowChillax
I don't think BF1 is running in native 4K though on PS4 Pro. It's most like running in a lower resolution and upscaled to run at 60FPS. I'm sure Destiny 2 could easily do this as well, but the OG PS4 and OG XB1 can't. They can only run the game at 30fps.

Game was 30 FPS on the original, I didn't know, I didn't care, I sunk about 100 days of play time into it regardless, and I loved it. It made no difference.
