Naughty Dog does it again. A technical masterpiece. Lighting, animation, textures, effects, LOD scaling...etc. All outstanding and all squeezed out of a PS4. It really is impressive. The team's hard work really sets a new standard.

I'm still going to give it some time before buying it. I love ND's work. Seeing how they handle things give me inspiration. If you've ever had to write an extension to get someone else's vision to function you'll know what...

Mr Carmack doesn't reference GPU power or speed or anything of the sort. He's talking about GPU overhead. You know? A driver set that's handled by the CPU? Said overhead still being a factor in throughput, even after the jump in performance from a switch to an unbuffered (bypassing the Kernel) feed? ON PC?

Now go back to reading the comments. Not one comment here contains even a modicum of understanding. Nothing to do with PS5 or XSX. Yet the comments are all ju...

God damn it! I wanted to see how this played on PC. I've already dropped some cash on a nice PCIe 4 Corsair drive that comes in at just under 5GBs. I just want to see how it runs with UE5 and what do I get? BS from China that's already been proven to be fake.

Look, I'm not being down on PlayStation. I just game and create on PC mostly and wanted to see requirements. Well. That and whether they'd fixed problems with blueprints (talk about a pain in the ass)....

Well, that's settles it. All you need is a five and a half thousand dollar GPU and you can play a game that's rendering a single room. (The clip you linked tells you the GPU used at the beginning.) Here's a link for those that can't be bothered watching the video: https://www.amazon.com/PNY-...
That's some crazy insecurity you have there.

My God. I've been avoiding commenting (or visiting very often) after my last foray into the mindlessness of this site's comment section.

The article in question is a simple statement that the game is up for preorder on the PSN. From that a binary divergence has become quite obvious among users. Gender politics is now playing out in the comments. If you no longer want to buy it day one you're a incel/bigot (regardless of reason). If you still want to buy it day o...

Don't know. What I do know is 4 has some really disjointed pacing and story flow. It just didn't play out (narrative wise) like all the other Uncharted games. I won't go on as I don't want to bore people with pointless exposition.

The gameplay however was first class. It played brilliantly. I spent some hours on it. The story wasn't what made me play it though.

IDK. Did they say that?
I do remember this: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

No exclusives of any quality/quantity in sight and here's our boy lying for all he's worth.

Yeah. This is Xbox. LOL. They make it so hard to support the brand

Is this a joke? Read the link. MS LIED. They didn't say they wouldn't do this. They (MS) said it was impossible as all files (video and audio) remain local unless you expressly upload them.

The fact they've been caught out and every Xbox account on n4g is here lying to protect them tells you how much trouble they're in. You can't lie to consumers. Links to things that COULD happen aren't the same as MS getting caught actually spying on users. The fa...

What's funny is this happened after this: https://www.polygon.com/201...

Forget the spin from the tragics in the comments. This is black and white.
MS could be in trouble here.

@Dani I guess it's kind of noble to want to stick up for the little guy. Kudos for that sentiment. The rest of what you've written really is subpar though. There's no need for that crap.

On topic: Both sides have their own version of the story. Only one side has PR and legal departments. I think we all know how this one's going to turn out.

Does this mean there'll be a delay? Does it matter if there's no release date?

It's like a riddle.

Anyway. Goodluck Tim.

Well that's just an amazing observation Joe. So well thought out and deftly delivered. Just one thing.

He's lead PRODUCER. Not lead DEV. You do know what a producer is right? Seems strange you would claim industry knowledge of production yet display none.

Pretty much nailed it.

I'm not sure that'll help much. He can step down whenever he wants. Bailout. Jump ship. Whatever anyone wants to call it. The problem is he was the LEAD producer. How do you put anthem on your CV? Small print's my guess.

EA and Bioware may have collectively shit the bed. I fear the stench may follow poor Ben to the grave though. Best of luck to him.

There's a big gap between "angry" and a body count.

This type of thing (Trump's comments) is usually a weaponized form of deflection. You now get stuck disproving a statement someone else made. All the while nothing gets achieved in regard to addressing the actual problem.

It really is getting boring though. Tragedies like this are all too frequent. The responses, all too predictable and worthless. I just want to know how many more peopl...

I own 3 out of 4 of them already. I'm not interested in the other one. Still. MS have definitely stepped up their game this month. Usually it's just cheap Indy crap and some old 360 games.

Good work this month MS.

Darth72 I have a question.
Did you know confrontational and disrespectful are two different words with two very different meanings? I used one word, you used the other. You then mounted a defence on something you stated (and pretended I stated).

The very definition of a straw man argument.

This guy (Phil) really has no shame. Trying to claim he's against the needless console war and the hostility of the industry. I wonder if he remembers this little console warmonger.

Maybe. I won't quote you on it.

I thought it was just another reactionary filler piece. There's a lot of paid statia content floating around right now. Hell, check the rest of n4g. This just looks like a clumsy attempt to cash in on someone else's marketing.

Not crapping on anybody. They're free to "G3t deM cliX". Just calling it how I see it.
