I didn't even know about the virtual reality thing at CES! Thanks for the great show!

deadpoole4659d ago

but for the love of god atleast make it 1080p. Dont remain stuck at sub-hd.

And yes you can easily rival Avatar graphics because ... real avatar is rendered at resolution for cinema not for 1080p ... so yeaa ... its possible.

arjman4659d ago

Cinema resolution is A LOT more than 1080p lol

lil Titan4659d ago

virtural reality might work out this time i mean look at the ds people are ape shit over it now

MAJ0R4659d ago

facepalm level is over 9000!

milohighclub4659d ago

Nick is a Dick, he's the kind o guy you just want to slap... Agree with what he's saying I just can't stand his personality!

GodKing13374658d ago (Edited 4658d ago )

Yes avatar graphics will be possible if you look at the video cards on pc they can run any game on max with 100fps (e.g. Nvidia gtx 590, and they come out with even better ones every month. Sooo yeah commonsense.

zinkabassy4658d ago

Wtf are people smoking they have huge processor farms that expand at least few square kilometers to render shit like avatar,..

To think a commercial cpu-gpu could do this shit is insanity,.. especially some broken cheap shitty product from MS.

nveenio4658d ago

This guy needs to annunciate.

Boody-Bandit4658d ago (Edited 4658d ago )

Oh can we please stop with this absolute horseshit already? Nick, stop, just stop. All of you guys in the media, stop, just stop. Avatar quality graphics next generation?

NO WAY IN HELL!
NOT GOING TO HAPPENING!

I just put together a pretty hefty PC yesterday with dual EVGA GTX 590 Classifieds. I played a little Crysis 2, Battlefield BC2 and for kicks, SSFIV Arcade. I am running all of these games in their highest settings possible and it runs smooth as silk. The games look staggering but they are leaps and bounds away from what Avatar looks like.

No way is the next generation XBox or PS4 going to blow away dual GTX 590's and that's what it would take for Avatar like graphics. We wont see those types of graphics until the generation after next or maybe even the one after that.

Avatar like graphics? Do you people spewing this nonsense have any idea how intensive those graphics are in that movie and what it took to achieve them? Obviously not because all you guys saying nonsense like this sound like fools.

CGI in next generation consoles wont even come close to looking like Avatar.

jadenkorri4658d ago

guys relax, i think he meant the game avatar not the movie...

hassi944658d ago

@arjman

He knows that idiot, he's saying because they render Avatar for such a high resolution (and big screen) they need a lot of power, you need a lot less power to render a similar thing in 1080p.

@brutallyhonest

I know you're trying to live up to your name - but I assume Gears of War 4 will be built on Unreal Engine 4. If you saw the good samaritan gameplay then you'd know a claim like 'rival avatar's visuals' isn't amazingly out of reach.

nveenio4658d ago

One of your "agrees" is from me, but only because I went to click "disagree" and my trackpad picked up my touch instead of a swipe.

I disagree with you because there is a huge difference in quality between UE4 and Avatar. And the difference isn't just resolution. I'm not sure you realize this, but I brought Avatar home on BluRay...so it's in 1080p. It doesn't matter at what resolution they've rendered it because I brought it home in 1080p. And it's still miles beyond anything the top-of-the line PC can do. They don't render this stuff using a single PC, either. They use render farms with hundreds of PCs working in unison. They use raytracing and mapping technology that real-time engines won't have access to for a dozen years at least.

At the very best, next-gen will bring 1080p graphics, but few games will use 1080p (still) because the developers think more physics, more enemies, more AI, etc, are all better than a higher resolution.

BulletToothtony4658d ago

i could've sworn that this was a hiphopgamer post

MaxXAttaxX4658d ago

Looks like HipHopGamer has a rival LOL :D

Basjohn4658d ago (Edited 4658d ago )

As so many have said, Avatar isn't even rendered in real-time. Each frame is rendered by dozens of systems in unison and each of those would have taken hours or possibly more for a SINGLE FRAME.

Also to whoever thought cinema resolution is higher than 1080p.........Size IS NOT EQUAL to resolution. Resolution is a completely independant variable and with simple use of your eyes you should be able to tell raw cinema film does not match 1080p resolutions by any means.

Though please also remember higher resolutions are not always a good thing (especially in interfaces). The only reason a higher resolution tends to look better (in a game I mean) is higher scaling of textures and less aliasing. Working with static development 3D would very quickly show you that a 640x480 image looks as good as a 1080p image as long as you're not stretching it as static 3D (think CGI) scales on object size and NOT resolution.

arjman4657d ago

Inveni0 has it spot on

Hassi94 you seem a bit defensive, did they reject you for not being 18 years old when you tried to buy CoD?

Gears is going to get milked like Halo and COD boring...

b163o14659d ago

Agreed, but M$ doesn't have many exclusives so its only natural to see the same or expect the same games over time. It's a minor thing that has the potential of becoming a major problem IMO.....

Urmomlol4659d ago

This guy actually speaks English, so he's automatically not as terrible as Hip Hop Gamer.

beastgamer4659d ago

yo yo yo that tha hip hop gamer yo son i got dat hot info on the low bout dat ps4. yo i gotta pass the belt to sonie

jwk944659d ago

HHG speaks perfect english too, maybe try listening next time instead of being ignorant.

lil Titan4659d ago

you people are ignorant, just because he speaks with an accent and alot of interjections and slang while talking doesnt mean he doesnt speak english. you wouldnt say an English man doesnt speak correct english if he uses "bloody" and "Oi" while speaking would you? Fing retards

Nick2120044659d ago

The difference between the title of this week's Nick's Gaming View and some of HHG's shows is mine is based off of the news and statements released this week. A majority of HHG's titles derive from info not released to the public. Anyways, I am interested in receiving feedback from you guys on the show.

LOGICWINS4659d ago

Nick, take the logical criticism but ignore the haters.

Hilarious how they spout so much negativity ..yet they give you ur hits LOL.

jwk944659d ago

So HHG gives us Behind-The-Scenes info while you report stuff that other people are already reporting. Wouldn't you say that HHG is doing something more appealing and something that would garner more viewers considering no other news outlet is reporting about the same things? Of course you also have to take into consideration the validity of his statements, but as long as he has some concrete details then he should be fine.

Micro_Sony4659d ago (Edited 4659d ago )

Great show Nick!

I like your energy and like the setup of your your show.

The only thing I would want on the show is that you add some low music in the background while your talking and some low sound to the game that you are showing.

Keep up the good work and dont let people on N4G put you down. As bad as HHG was he received allot of hate here and he eventually stopped coming here.

Micro_Sony4659d ago (Edited 4659d ago )

Also when your changing topics it would be great to have some sort of sound effect kick in instead of you just going directly to the next topic.

You also need a intro sound - something like this would be great.

Edit: Just re watched your show with this playing low in the back ground and enjoyed it.

The Xbox 720 revival Avatar's 125 million CGI budget makes me laugh. Hard. And Sony, please forget VR. Just keep making 3D badass.

MasterCornholio4658d ago

Unless its virtual reality on the level of Johnny Quest now that i would like.

Why isn't this getting reports?

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756100d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00100d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic100d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack100d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing100d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic100d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos100d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin100d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris100d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine100d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz100d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin105d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack104d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing104d ago (Edited 104d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69105d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07105d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn105d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid105d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog104d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex104d ago (Edited 104d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992104d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
