I don't think it has anything to do with Mort. Just saying that the poster's comments about "720p" and the claim that Mort was having a go at people were misunderstandings. So no, I don't think it's anything amounting to confirmation.

It's not even a 1080p render. It's a downsampled 4k bullshot.

In what world is that a bullshot?
2 sources, right????? [/bish]
Not being snide...really really want this to be true.

How reliable is famousmortimer?
I'm not familiar with his past work.

Well he hasn't been banned yet and several mods have popped in so I think it's good
I.E. BF4 on PS4 is 1080p
No idea on XB1 though
He's very good as of late. He was the first to confirm that Driveclub would be delayed
Also he's behind the COD 720p on XB1 but 1080p on PS4 and half of that leaks been confirmed
If you trust CBOAT you can trust mort.

Because it is likely indicative of a larger problem?

Nope.
Thats a bullshot.
The one you were referring to is just the PC version of BF. Which people on this board are playing at 4k.
Not really, launch games are always rushed. Ghosts was made for the last gen.

True enough I suppose. Still it does lend further credence to the idea that the XB1 is likely not as easy to develop for as devs would like at the current moment

ehh, they're not really the same level, although mort is trustworthy. he just needs sources for his stuff, whereas CBOAT is the source.

I was the first one who hinted at a DriveClub delay.

From a source?
I am fairly certain that article you started the thread about was the original source
I merely stated mortimer was the first confirmation of the driveclub delay
Unless you're claiming insider info?

Didn't you just post a link to a website article that had the source? Not exactly the same as having your own sources to confirm things.

Lol bullshit. You created a thread that at first amounted to little more than concern trolling. Just because it became true later does not make you clairvoyant or put you in the same league as an insider... unless you're claiming to have inside knowledge?

Of course I didn't think so. I took a 1080p picture because it was from BF4 and had some tiny details (birds). Do you know any game that runs 900p native? I don't. Ok, that BF4 pic wasn't the best choice. I tried the same with a KZ:SF screenshot but this time I cut a 1600x900 piece out of it. After upscaling to 1920x1080 it still looks rather good even up close. Come on, anybody can try it and judge the results. I can't post those pics right now because I'm not at my desktop.
I'm not trying to defend any console here as some people suggest. Can we step out of the console war for a second? I think it's a valid question if we'll be ever able to decide if a game is native or upscaled when devs are silent about it. People just laughing at my post without any further explanation aren't adding anything to the discourse.

Already posted?
Wow that's kind of big for gies to admit
I wonder if he hears this things from Gaf though?
If you really wanna see the world burn...you should hope the Xbone version actually performs better than the PS4 version..then my friend..the world shall burn! Buhahhahaha

Hah, so it seems!
Honestly, I think Mort has been more accurate throughout this year than CBOAT.
Cheaper way to get to 8GB of RAM. Sony took the pricier 8GB of DDR5 RAM route with no need for ESRAM bottlenecks.

Because when desigining the console, MS needed absolutely needed 8 GB of memory to accomplish their vision of media functions (snap, tv guide etc.) and at the time GDDR5 (the best unified solution) would be far far too expensive at 8GB. They couldn't assume the price would drop fast enough to make 8GB possible at a reasonable price point
So they had to go with the much cheaper DDR3 and then to try and compensate with the slow memory for game usage they implemented the ESram as a sort of bandaid. Others have argued that 64mb of EDram might have been a better approach but I think that would require a daughter die and that was again against MS's vision (not so clear on this part)
Sony on the other hand started from the ground up trying to make the best gaming console for the money and thus went for unified architecture which then led to GDDR5 memory. Sony originally had to compromise with 2GB of GDDR5 memory due to cost but the cost of GDDR5 went down unexpectedly fast and thus Sony bumped it up to 4GB of GDDR5 while maintaining a similar price point. With the continued decline of prices for GDDR5, Sony bumped it up once more to 8GB (also with the developer's input asking for more than 4GB of ram)
And that is in essence how we ended up with 8GB of DDR3 + 32MB of ESram vs 8GB of GDDR5

Didn't mort claim League of legends was coming to XB1? Or one of the consoles?

Oh ok, that makes sense. Thanks guys.
Also, does anyone know if the ESram was planned from the start or if they implemented that AFTER the PS4 GDDR5 announcement?

Ah, so we've already moved onto the next phase. esRAM was a problem, but now it's already fixed. Also, he basically suggests the PS4 GPU advantage is meaningless, and attempts to blame launch differences purely on the esRAM.
SwiftDeath
Member
Oh it had to have come before the GDDR5 announcement if you're referring to the Feb reveal?
Yeah that would've been decided likely 2 years ago at least? I would hope
Arthur is a clueless hack.
You would get more relevant and accurate information from a spluttering asshole.

Isn't that what CBoat pretty much said?
Dont get me wrong im not expecting 1080p or something like.
Ah Gies has reached the bargaining stage.
Whiteshirt

No, CBOAT said that its a problem now but the situation will improve to the point that its workable. All it means is that the situation will be less awful than before. Its not like what Arthur is suggesting where the memory problem is a non-issue and is capable of the same and more (embedded memory can do..."things") than Sony's GDDR5 cluster.

It's Friday. Isn't that when people usually try to bury bad news? So we should be getting official word from Albert re: COD 'round about 5pm pacific time?

That's newspapers. Web news has the most impact on Fridays, because it stays up over the weekend.

Webnews still reports over the weekend. Not every site though. We are in a 24/7 news world now.

Aren't they one and the same?
Sure, if there was news, but 'news' in video games is regurgitated press releases and interviews, and they don't happen over the weekend typically.
Surprised to see Gies admit there is actually a problem here. Probably just getting it out of the way, as it will soon be undeniable.

Yep COD is clearly targeting their main demographic
