    Did you see this guy when you ran it? Guess he got a bloody nose and had to use a tampon to finish the race. (It was the Brooklyn Half you ran right?)

    b0xSH5tl.jpg

    nope i didn't seems like he was in Wave 1 aka much faster than me

    Dont know why he bothered with the tampon, think how cool he would have looked with blood everywhere as he crossed the finish

    Oh no, game outlets are talking about the the XB2 being potentially more powerful than the PS8. I totally forgot about that possible aspect of hardware upgrades.

    I really do not want to go through months of fanboy dickwaving about hardware, again.

    Allegedly Microsoft is putting in enough hardware to partner with Oculus and do VR, which is a fascinating idea but also means that console is gonna be expensive af and have a ton of power most devs wont be allowed to touch without locking out existing Xbox one users.

    Pretty much.
    As I hear it Sony won't let you have PS4.5 only features. Though they're being a bit nebulous on what a feature is, so I don't know if you'd get away with the PS4.5 version of a game looking prettier, if the core functionality is identical for both titles.

    Everything I have seen about the PS4 update is that prettier is fine, as are features like more people doing local split screen, but the ps4 classic version must be 100% playable and enjoyable (games with constant dips into the teens for frame rate while the 4.5 gets locked 30 will be denied).

    People are acting like this will be hard; all devs have to do is have code or configuration based "sliders" behind the scenes where they set the performance by hardware. Shittier textures, different lighting / particle settings, reduced draw distance, etc.

    This is stuff PC gaming has been doing for years, they just front it to the consumers.

    What this will do is have optimal settings per console baked-in to the game which are set on launch, based on the machine it is on.

    iOS apps already do this (gate textures, effects and even features by device that launches the app)

    Do they like go to work in pajamas

    Well the office ladies are at best business casual. I've seen my boss here in jeans. And my other boss's daughter who is here as an intern is currently wearing a dress cut so high I could see her wearing it to a club or bar. Gotta tell you, it really throws off your sense of business wear.

    Oh, I know. And it's not the hardest thing to do, (the hardest thing will be the decisions on what is for each version and then making sure it actually works) but the phrase "all Devs have to do is X" makes me want to puke blood.

    My guess is that they will never have to fine tune for more than. 2-3 hardware iterations ever on this route also.

    At some point an Xbox and a PlayStation will come out that will run games the ps4 and Xbox one cannot play, and hopefully that happens at least 6-7 years from the date the original console hit the shelves.

    Specifically pajama factories where the spell it "pajama" and not "pyjama."

    Or if you have an nvidia gpu front it onto whoever does the profiles for geforce experience. I've set graphics settings myself for maybe 2 games in the last 5 or so years.
