The PS4 Pro is definitely not powerful enough to support native 4K rendering for most games- instead, Sony uses a custom upscaling solution which is referred to as Checkerboarding. Checkerboarding can be a demanding technique, but if utilized right, with access to the triangle and object data in the ID buffer, the results can be visually resplendent.
Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella shared a bullish report on the performance of the Xbox gaming business also on PlayStation.
I'm kind of hoping they drop most hardware support here with a 'good enough console' next generation and focus more on being a publisher. Obviously that is doing well for them and they can still push cloud gaming since it's going to tons of smart TVS and devices. They're now the largest video game publisher in the world, if they aren't doing the most sales and pre-orders, then they would be in trouble. They aren't.
“We continue to transform the business and focus on margin expansion as we bring our games to over 500 million monthly active users across devices. We ended the quarter as the top publisher by pre-orders and pre-installs on both Xbox and PlayStation Store.”
Amazing news!
Xbox reigning within rival territory.
Big slap in the face of haters who used to crap on Xbox´s games and its quality.
We brought two of the biggest publishers in the world, cost thousands of people their livelihoods and consolidated a huge part of the industry, look how successful we are at gaming!
HITMAN Signature Edition lands June 5 on Switch 2 with 100+ hours of content and Mario & Luigi–inspired pre-order bonuses.
Original Destiny artist Darren Bacon recalls how Bungie reacted to the art style change of Halo 4 by 343 Industries.
Bungie at that time became the most wonderful bunch of hypocrites in the gaming industry. Knowing this now, gosh the entitlement they felt was out of this world.
Nothing like buying yourself from Microsoft because you don't want to be the Halo Studio anymore, and the FIRST THING you do is sign your next IP over to Activision, for a DECADE, while they are in the middle of ousting the heads of Infinity Ward so they can exert even more control over COD while screwing out the devs at IW...
Should've come as no surprise then that Activision gutted the content of Destiny 1 before launch and was a horrible partner through Destiny 2, until history repeated itself and Bungie had to split from Activision only to wind up in the arms of another major conglomerate that also doesn't know how to handle these unmanageable devs.
I liked the artstyle change. For the most part. Something looked worse but most of everything else looked better. Weapons and vehicles for sure. The wraith come to my mind instantly.
And how can they get mad when the bungie changed it with Halo Reach?
I know a lot of people dislike Halo 4’s arts style, but there’s thing about it I like and dislike. Personally, the Halo 4 design of Master Chief’s armour is my favourite depiction of the character’s armour.
We all would like that the Pro got something like a TITAN X (11 Teraflops), but the reality is that 399 this november is something that all gamers can get,
Checkerboard seems a nice technique.
anyone can explain what they said about ID's and their technique... it sounds so interesting but i can't understand how it works...
Checkerboard isn't new and upscaling is upscaling no matter how you spin it.
On that note more power does equal better graphics, and hopefully longer and better game experiences.
Still not getting it. I'm feeling the switch more (if third party support is there that is)
Once again Playstation has this gaming industry on its shoulders and so it can still thrive, this is good and bad, good cause Sony is always trying to go forward and give gamers the best gaming experiences utilizing todays technology in a affordable ways and bad because theres no competition around them from the other "console makers" Nintendo and Microsoft, competition is always good cause every company wants to get the best products to their consumers showing their strenghts of what other companys don't have, but right now theres none!. Nintendo SW is the perfect example how they are so out of touch of todays technology, I mean seriously attach controllers to a tablet ?, how many freaking addons have been in the market for tablets all this years that do exactly that ? hundreds!! if you didn't know, oh but wait!! you can play Zelda on the go! hmmm how many freaking Zelda games have been released for the damn 3ds or Marios ? dozens too!!, also good luck not to lost a damn part to that thing I mean seriously there 5 parts that at least 4 you need to keep track of, seriously with all honesty as tech guy fan I see the Nintendo NX plain pathetic!, not to mention the underpowered spect that damn thing will have.
And now MS Scorpio......hmmm MS telling us about a 6 TF console, hmmm no game showing, no hardware showing, no specs just the 6 TF thing, oh above that add all the PR nonsense they spill: "xbone and scorpio games will have the same experiences with some differences".....I'm like what?? typical MS gaming division PR talk equals pure nonsense.
So as you can see Sony doesn't have competition but still they keep going moving forward with solid steps just look and see the PSVR, and later the PRO, the PRO is created cause not because competition against PC is because AMD but thats another story, MS and Nintendo can be portray with this gif I think:

I hope Nintendo and MS gaming division someday find their way to common sense.
