@snaketus Why has Gamespot not made a story about this? I think I just lost a bit of respect for them. I also have not heard if all the games were running at 1080p (no info on that even in the articles about the games being able to run at 60 fps).

@TheOnlyConan @snaketus its because its rumor. and MS of course wouldn't confirm it. All it would do is feed a fire. They used to do that though. Also GS doesn't do reporting on weekends it seems.

@snaketus

Maybe the reason they couldn't use the actual console is because of the problems their having with the eSRAM.

@Ne-Plus-Ultra @snaketus Thanks for this, seems they are trying to stretch too much , and it could bite them in the ass in a big way. While would be sad to see the competition downsize in the market, someone else would probably step up, and MS is doing it to themselves.

@mlp071 @bunchanumbers @cvfish @Ne-Plus-Ultra @snaketus they say almost no one will know the difference. Of course MS also said a lot of things lately.

@bunchanumbers @cvfish @Ne-Plus-Ultra @snaketus In the article about Forza 5 being in 1080p,they did already said that Developers will have to make trade offs if they want something to run in 1080p.

Very mindboggling decision, it appears that they are going after 1600x900 resolution as a standardin most of the cases.

Every of my TV's is 1080p capable , why in f*** would i would play games in lower resolution or watch TV through their Xcone

@cvfish @bunchanumbers @Ne-Plus-Ultra @snaketus pretty much if they do downclock the GPU it will be things like games won't be in 1080p and will be 900p and games won't have tesselation and the shadows will be bad. It means the X1 could run games like it could before but the games won't have access to the things that would pretty it up. Or risk RROD.

@cvfish @Ne-Plus-Ultra @snaketus yeah the esram thing has been floating around for a while, but came to the forefront of the rumor mill after the reveal. If it is true it will really widen the gap between ps4 and X1 powerwise. especially if they have to downclock the esram.

Where did you hear that? I've been trying to find something on that and all that comes up is the complete opposite. Do you have a link?

@sladakrobot @Ne-Plus-Ultra

I don't understand why they do that? Especially when we've seen that it runs fine on the dev kits that were available. Plus it ran fine at E3, so all it does is create problems down the line when people wonder why'd they do that. Thanks for replying that is a hard one to find.

@sladakrobot @Ne-Plus-Ultra Fair enough, but E3 that wasn't the case. http://www.cinemablend.com/games/PS4-Games-E3-Ran-PS4-Dev-Hardware-High-End-PCs-56752.html

I liked The Crew. Not for the team game play, or the pedestrians with god-like evasion skills, but because of the largest world for a driving game ever.

@LittleSaintGoph @almrls Oh really? If true, that's great. I remember when Underground 2 was coming out, what hooked me was the world size.

As it happens the Pedestrians are fully trained Ninjas, specifically trained in the ancient art of Car-Dodge : )

@almrls lol those pedestrians were pulling matrix moves to dodge those cars! I was laughing when I saw that. I was half expecting one of them to do a trinity jump kick over the cars to dodge them.
