I knew it was GamingBolt!

*EDIT* should be called GamingDolt

blackblades2192d ago

Articles like this makes me think gamingbolt every time. I wonder what they'll do when next gen is already here.

Same thing “PS5 Can make Toast 5Degree Faster Than The PS4, Says Ex game Developer Turned into Turtle”

Muzikguy2191d ago (Edited 2191d ago )

Same thing they did this gen. Pick a side and brag about how good it is.

Nitrowolf has the idea

Zen is the architecture of AMD's CPUs... PS5's CPU will ensure that a GPU-based function will get utilized? Or shoddy gaming journalist doesn't know what they are talking about?

UltraNova2190d ago

If RT is software based and not actual GPU die then (it pains me to agree) yes this aledged dev is technically right. Remember, AMD's upcoming Navi GPU's do not come with RT hardware and they haven't mentioned anything about RT support (software or otherwise) to this day. So with that said, I doubt AMD developed RT GPU hardware specifically for consoles without implementing then first on their consumer GPU lineup.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong here and we end up with fully RT enabled next gen consoles. We are still ways from learning though.

Shaggy,

The problem with RT is very very power hungry. A 2018ti paired with a top of the line CPU can only do 1080p with RT effect in full swing so that raises the question, what level of RT implementation should next gen consoles achieve without significant sacrifices? This is why we should limit expectations altogether until we see actual games running on these consoles in real-time.

Cobra9512190d ago

AMD hasn't shown or proved a single thing about real-time ray tracing in their upcoming hardware (console or PC). Everything said at this point is speculation. AMD are under pressure to compete with RTX, so it's not surprising they're claiming they're going to support similar features. In the meantime, I have this vision of a dark dungeon somewhere in Asia where programmers and engineers are shackled and whipped until they produce something to validate the claims.

Their headlines certainly have a certain stank to them.

Do you not see this happening during development? Like, why are we apologizing after the fact instead of stopping it during development?

Stopac2h ago

Criticism and reflection occur after the fact. The apology acknowledges the past criticisms with the new expansion and they're keeping transparency with players about it. Now that they've acknowledged it - it will be interesting to see what kind of cycle we'll get with a new expansion and I wonder if they're planning something special with beast master since they didn't mention it in the last live letter.

anast7h ago

It's all good, as long as the price of the product decreases.

Stopac2h ago

The base game and expansion go on sale all the time and doesn't stay full price for very long since a new expansion is on the horizon.

If you're stating they should reduce the price of new expansions or the sub fee, no, that's not gonna happen lmao people aren't even complaining about that. They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy.

anast59m ago

"They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy."

The product should be cheaper then.

PapaBop5h ago

I was unhappy with DT and have spent far less time in it than any other expansion but it's things like this that makes me respect Yoshi P. It's rare for such a high profile developer to be so candid in his assessment on a live game.

Stopac2h ago

Same, i've found my self resubbing every two patches instead of keeping it up. Don't own a home in the game so there's no point in keeping a constant sub going. The post story is getting interesting though.

Playdead co-founder slammed with lawsuit as bitter row with co-founder escalates

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
