Microsoft is going to patch the GPU Kinect requirements to give developers more power...

When the president of Sony says 1080p will make you a better gamer - that's nonsense. But some people will believe it and that's what he's hoping for. MS, on the other hand, gave us some great games for launch and a much improved console to play them on.

I hope this article is true and hopefully will be in the next couple of patches.

Microsoft Reportedly Relaxing Xbox One Kinect Requirements, Giving GPU Power A Boost

Mr. B

 

Kinect is failing.

This was one of a few articles basically about Microsoft giving developers extra GPU power, I've not read it all but at the start it says ... "In future" .. so not actually sure if it's available to developers now.

 

The president of Sony said that? Source?

 

[quote user="wheels 757"]Yeah no - 1080p is not nonsense. Its a big deal to the vast majority of xbox 1 owners like myself[/quote]You have no data to back that assertion.

MS will be forever tweaking the console until it goes end of life. This is no different.

Wow! That's just silly, misleading and manipulative nonsense. A game dev could easily shred that. As they're ones who ultimately determine accuracy, game mechanics and how pixels are utilized - regardless of resolution.

Same here. Was fun to use for a short while but got bored of it quite quickly. I'll stick with x1, but it's looking increasingly likely that I will trade it for a ps4 at some point in the next 12 months

Yeah no - 1080p is not nonsense. Its a big deal to the vast majority of xbox 1 owners like myself, and I am very encouraged that MS has finally announced that they are actually doing something about the problem rather than embargoing reviews, banning comparison
threads, and other PR bs.

[/quote]I dunno about the vast majority. There was plenty of support on here over the months. Anyways, if they want to throw 1080p at us, I wont complain, but it's brief absence was certainly not something that stopped me buying and loving my Day One edition.

 

[quote user="Sunburst Univox"]In the context in which that was said I would have to agree.[/quote]You'd be wrong to agree. Both Yoshida and Cerny are vastly over-simplifying things.

 

so 1080p makes gamer better well some of the best gamers in the world play on the 360 still games dont need to be 1080p look at crysis that game was stunning on the 360 yet it wasnt in 1080p halo 4 single player looked great yet wasnt in 1080p

 

"1080p" doesn't define how well a game plays, nor even how good a game looks on a 10' interface. 1080p is just a resolution. Hitting that resolution without enough performance behind it results in higher/uneven frame latencies. To meet a decent frame latency
target for a specific resolution certain visual effects may need to be sacrificed or detail levels lowered.

For Sony, the company that says to devs they can do whatever they want, to then turn around and hang things on an arbitrary resolution is hypocritical.

 

@IceStorm, that's what certain fans lap up though and they know it.

 

To be fair he didn't actually say it MAKES you a better gamer, he said it ALLOWS you to be a better gamer.
