Anyone care to explain why do we bully and judge leakers/insiders?


Thats quite simple; if the insider leaks info that your favourite piece of plastic is better than the other company product, then this insider is great, unconditional love etc. but if the leak says that your favourite piece of plastic might end up being the lesser hardware, that insider should be "burned like a witch", but remember, in their minds, that insider is probably fake anyways (as it is simply not possible that their favourite piece of plastic will be weaker).

@GlassAwful I’ve spent a long time doing something that I enjoy, while also working other projects with other people that actually have released. I fail to see the connection? That’s like saying I can’t complete a jigsaw at home, because I professionally print them for others.

The two are not connected and you are reaching. Just for the record, my actual job right now is a teacher of special needs children and the vulnerable. However that doesn’t change the fact that over the years I have contributed to many different retail and indie titles.

(Also, just for the record, it’s not a multiplayer mod for quake 2. If you dig a little deeper you would see it’s an engine rewrite from the ground up, with advanced lighting, physics and audio, and shares more in common with later id tech, technology wise.)

@TheThreadsThatBindUs no I did not say lockhart has to run 4k.Lockhart has to run 1080p content hypothetically. The pro did not. If you allowed the Pro to run games at 1080p using its full grunt, that would be a fair comparison.

@Gamernyc78 the reason I’m stepping away for a while is simple, and during the night, I actually had that reason confirmed even more. While things were getting tougher than I would like last night, in the night I’ve had actual threats sent to me, people with no life, no clue and under some illusion that plastic boxes are life or death. I mean... that’s just sad, man. I’m still going to be posting on the forum, even here every so often, but I’m taking a step back. I stand by what I’ve said, and as I said to you all before, if it turns out bad info, i won’t be running off. I’m still here. You need to take a step back and see the bigger picture my friend, because when you get messages like I got last night that even include my daughter (twitter) then that’s a whoooooole different thing. But I’m still here, not running away like a bitch as you put in, which btw, is one of the reasons I’m no longer participating because people like you drive me mad.

Just be good to each other, believe what you want, but talk common sense with this stuff. I’ll pop back up every so often.
Yeah well I wanted to say that before, but I would ban these threads for general public, maybe made some sticky thread where mods can post information, etc. I know this is not ERA, but it's getting fucking R I D I C U L O U S.

I am againts censorship, but if we are dealing with retards who can send threats to people over some speculation, I don't see why not used that.

What the fuck boys and girls.

Sorry to hear that champ. I've thoroughly enjoyed your posts, and it saddens me to see that there are very active people in this thread who thinks you just needs to suck it up.

edit: fuck it. i'm gonna name and shame. @Gamernyc78 what the hell?

Nah, just let it slide my man. Some people take it all way to serious. But reading some people’s posts it’s clear this is more than just a games console to them.

Huh? But why?? What for??

it’s the internet. When you can be anybody, and not have to show your true face, people turn into right plonkers. It’s the way it always has been and always will.

Once you go down the censorship route, the terrorists win. You don’t want that. This thread is usually a fun place to chat or talk bollocks, even the people that don’t fully understand get stuck in, and that’s great. You want that. To be fair, I’ve never seen anything approach era style fuckery here.

I understand, it's shaky ground, but best to punish kids is to take away their toys. So that was the reasoning behind this. Era fuckery should not be here, but also people sending threats should not be here. I at least hope that those are going to be banned.

Nobody, from what I have seen, has posted threats on NeoGaf. The moderators would be on it like a flash. There are idiots, of course, but no threats here.

Gotta make that clear.

Edit: anyway I’ve cleared up a few things, anything else I’ll check later. It’s all a bit up in the air, as im told not to go to work, the wife has to go to work (also teaches), and any second now I’m expecting my daughters school to close. So I’m making the most of my free time before I have my own little bag of germs with me constantly for a few weeks 🤣

Ohh then I did not understand your first message I reacted to. Sorry then. I thought it's happening in here.

Travel just suspended from Europe to America and the NBA now officially having games in empty arenas starting with the golden state vs Brooklyn game. State of emergency declared in several states and world health organization just classified this as a worldwide pandemic.

While Liverpool - Atletico Madrid was played in a stadium packed with people. While Spain has over 2,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19. Makes you wonder if we somehow deserve what's happening to us?!

I wonder if game warriors put this much effort into car battles.

if they battle over $300 plastic boxes surely they must debate among friends and coworkers who has the best car. Why care about consoles when the guy with the best car in the parking lot can rub it in he has a Mercedes when everyone else has a rusty Camry or Dodge Carvan.

This is a lie! the PS3 had 0.230 TFLOPs. The PS4 and 1.84 TFLOPs. So an 8 times increase in GPU performance and the same CPU in terms of performance.

The PS3 CELL processor - ignoring the main general purpose two way CPU core, and the seventh SPU for OS background tasks and eighth disabled SPU for yields - would give you 6 * 3.2Ghz * 2 vector units(64bit), each doing 4 single precision float(16bit) ops per clock = 6*3.2*2*4 = 153.6GFlop/s, or 0.1536TFs/s.

Added to the 0.192TFs/s (192GFlops/s ) of the RSX (according to the wiki) gives 0.345TFs/s of compute. Which is 5.3x the performance jump of PS3 → PS4 – a jumo at the time was considered modest, but balanced against a greater need for a larger jump in memory size and speed, and simplicity of unified memory HSA. So at the very minimum jump again, the PS5 would be no-less than 9.81TF/s. which generally agrees with your numbers. Although, I think the jump in compute will be more aggressive this time and the jump in memory size will be smaller, so I'm still expecting something fast; especiallyif they are spending 5x the money on CPU cooling. 3D dual wafer APU with 72CU downclocked to 16TFs/s would be nice.

My wife taught English in Poland for a few years and speaks fluent Polish. We go to g’dansk on holiday every year.

We love the place. I’ll have nothing bad said about the Polish. Far more polite than your average UK chav that’s for sure.

Ain't that the truth, how we ended up with so many xenophobic Gammons in the UK I have no idea, Just got back from skiing in Andorra and picked up a load of French wine on the way back (the best), Shame all that is being taken away from me !!!

Sad your being targeted mate but that is the nature of the internet and trolls, its the on voice they have and they choose to make it hateful :-(

Well, everybody who has posted info in this thread has had the same, people twist their words, act like arses to them etc. It sorta comes with the gig, to expect otherwise is daft. But there ARE lines you don’t cross.

I just hope we can continue to be nice to each other in this thread, and if you’re being an arse, reign it in and discuss like grown adults. There’s no need to be so hostile to people for liking or thinking different things to you.

But I’ll be ok, I’ve got a backup plan, and I’m going to make MILLIONS...

Of course this isn’t my eBay listing btw, but I’ve got a few dozen rolls upstairs and I’m thinking how much I want a holiday...

You can "smell" out of that Sony (ex-Sony) dev comments on DXR that Xbox is in deep shit with their ray tracing and need help. All I know about DirectX since I was young that it's related to my PC crashing.
It seems I misunderstood you, I though you were talking about Sony having inferior RT??

Both consoles are using the same RT hardware solution. Any performance difference would be down to API overhead.

Bo_Hazem Bo_Hazem is implying DXR is not as efficient.

We don't know, but I don't think there should be any major difference there.
Before this gen Microsoft shills, including their employees like Penello, were implying that they'd be ahead of Sony because they are the makers of DirectX. Then we learnt that in fact Xbox One devkits were behind PS4 devkits in terms of API. This was due to the need to remove the whole DRM scheme from the system, which damaged their workflow a lot. Later, they got better and matured. Does this mean they have an equal solution? It's hard to tell because this gen consoles have significant power differences. Also, if you're a first-party dev, you prefer the work environment (API) you're familiar with. It takes time to adjust or switch.

RT is new and APIs aren't mature yet, for sure. We're going to see a lot of progress in the applications of that tech in next gen. RT in games will be miles better a few years into the cycle, even if the hardware in consoles doesn't change. I heard it too (see my post about news from AMD) that the solutions might be different API-wise. Which one will be better? We'll see in games and I bet it won't be the first games of the generation to decide. With close to equal hardware, API and talent of devs will decide who has better looking games.

Shit man, we all love these consoles and new tech, but death threats and bringing your wee girl into it ain't on man, whether what you have said is true or not, you have kept the wait for ps5 info entertaining, so thank you for that, sorry to hear some idiots have to spoil the fun.

Fucking fanbiys man . Stick around and show them ur dick they will runaway 🤣
 
Kiko is an absolute beast, probably the best since Friedman.

Erm, yes, 12TF PS5, I agree too :messenger_tears_of_joy::messenger_beaming:

Yeah definitely, Friedman will always be unique, some of the most memorable solos ever. Broderick was cool too. Megadeth are a revolving door of virtuosos 😂 And Mustaine still rips faces off. Always in a league of his own.

Yeah all this teraflop fapping is flopping my brain and flipping my dingus into floppy knots.

can we stop talking about virus in this thread there's thread for that.

Okay, let’s talk next gen games/graphics. Like someone said, I can only watch the HB2/Project Mara trailer so many times.

Odium, do you have any info on what we can expect from next gen graphics? I’ve already seen Osiris and Klees reports. Osiris even said the nextgen only game he saw was photorealistic 🔥🔥.
Can you compare what you’ve been told to a tech demo for example?

Agreed.

But as I said previously, I enjoyed my riddles and the fun we all had, and I enjoy the tech talk and will continue to pop up and post a few bits in this thread (and others). That’s why I’m here, technology talk. And I had a unique position that I knew some details and could share what I knew. Sadly if those details don’t align with people, they take it too seriously, and also sadly, I have the wrath of both sides. (No the ps5 is 9tf! No the ps5 is over 13!). So it isn’t exactly “fun” anymore, not even to chat tech, not when people disregard common sense.

But i need to step back a bit, because while I can deal with the Gaf/era/internet trolls easy enough, the stuff ive had outside these sites has been a little bit too colourful for me. And as I said, once you involve my daughter... well... that’s a line drawn under it. I can’t be a part of that.





Man, the first time I heard from you and other GAFers in the know these machines were practically equal, with negligible edge for one, I was thrilled. I thought: 'finally, people will stop bragging about power and we will see a much better talent and budget healthy competition thrive'. Unfortunately, people are so entitled to these pieces of plastic that even a 0.00001% delta will make the stupidity goes on. Sad to see you step away because a bunch of douchebags can't accept equality.

The most remarkable aspect of this is that people are even doing so over very small relative performace differences.

Yea, the differences in power and performance seem to be negligible no matter the most prominent speakers. We will see who's correct overall soon enough. But at least the numbers feel as close as I have been led to believe.

Report me if I continue to console war
Navi 2X is a specific type of GPUs
Which starts with the 5800.

Where is that chart from lol?
I'm pretty sure it's not from AMD,
Also it's still the case that an RDNA2 GPUs performance can be customised, why would anyone think RDNA2s cu count and clock speed are locked, it makes no sense.

At this point, I feel that some posters are exaggerating the ranges of power a bit. More than likely, one is going to be efficiency king slightly, one will be the power king slightly.

Maybe the PS5 holds both crowns or maybe Xbox hold both.

I'm so sick of people who think the improvement from the PS4 to the PS5 will be gigantic just because of RDNA2. Have they forgotten that every single generation has had massive improvements in GPU efficiency? RDNA2 is not some magical leap beyond other improvements. This is insanity.

I would like for one person who is thrilled about 9.2TF to explain what exactly makes the leap to RDNA2 so much better than that of the RSX in the PS3 to unified shaders in the PS4.
Agree, unified shaders improved performance a lot and MS of Sony still werent talking about it. IMO even 10TF RDNA2 is not much considering what most people want to see. We should still see some improvements but anything like PS2 vs PS3 generational leap (30x times faster GPU) in graphics fidelity is out of question. What they can do with 5-7x TFLOPS inscreae is just to run the same PS4 game at 4K 60fps with few additional details. RDNA2 GPU's will use interesting tricks (AI upscaling, VRS) so hopefully that will help to increase graphics fidelity a little bit more.

Many people were disappointed seeing godfall or halo infinite trailer because these games run at 4K 60fps. There's simply not much developers can do with such small GPU improvement and 4x resolution and 2x framerate increase compared to current 1080p 30fps games like uncharted 4. Graphics fidelity increase on next gen consoles will be even smaller than it was on PS4, because PS4 only run games with 2x resolution and still the same 30fps targert, so not all GPU resources were wasted into resolution and framerate increase alone and that will be the case now. I however expect huge texture quality increase thanks to SDD streaming speed. 4K textures are a given.

The image is an old leak.
Why does it make no sense?
That’s how it always works with graphics cards. Cu count and clock speed make up the teraflops number.

The 12 TF number is the only one confirmed by xbox. The others are still rumours, because they aren't confirmed yet. These other specs and numbers are what the sources from WC got. They are most likely true, but not yet confirmed.
