By rodeoclown Go To PostBecause it fragments the user base, makes more work for developers and makes the next gen leap lesser with everybody publishing on Xbox having to design their games to run on a 4 TF machine. It serves as a needless limitation.Devs already have to make games compatible with PC hardware dating back over 5 years, as well as forwards compatible with hardware not even released that may have vastly different architecture. Not even just different CPU/GPU combinations but also the likes of various APUs.
I can only imagine the headache of having a cross gen game in the launch window, having to develop to run on an Xbox One, Lockhart, Xbox One X and Anaconda.
So yeah, not seeing the big issue with it honestly. Especially in the day and age of game engines built to scale across multiple devices with varying degrees of power behind them.

Not understanding the "uproar" or big deal when it comes to a console.
Just pick which one you want, ez.

If Microsoft is serious about integrating their console and PC offerings into a true platform offering, this is the most logical step.
It's not fragmenting the user base it's providing more points of entry.

Game developers will be expected to support both Anaconda and Lockhart, which some are worried might hamper their ambitions for next-gen games in the coming years.

It's more akin to Pixel 4 versus OnePlus 7
By reilo Go To Postlol this is a dumb comparison
Even more dumb of a comparison, but whatever.
Point is it's not really that big of a deal, except that its Microsoft doing it. Either you want to be able to play in 4k or you're ok with playing in primarily 1440p. As long as the SSD and CPU are pretty much the same across the board, it's a none issue 🤷♂️
By Flutter Go To PostFrom the article;Was Crysis held back in 2007 by the hardware available? Or Crysis 3? Or for a more recent example, RDR2, which even a 2080Ti cannot max out at 60FPS at all at 4K?
Not to mention all the games that support RTX features, which most people won’t even get to fully experience for another generation or two.
Eh, not really. After all, I (and others) originally reported it was getting cut. Not surprised people didn't think it was back on again. Once dev kit specs leak, I'll tell the tale of why Lockhart is really a thing.

You're a console pleb. I dont expect you to understand what's going on here.

Sony talks about pcie 4.0 SSDs and console plebs act like its revolutionary. Pathetic.

as an oppressed pc gamer, i am used to my games being held back, by ancient console hardware. so i understand the feelings reilo is having right now.

Or for a more recent example, RDR2, which even a 2080Ti cannot max out at 60FPS at all at 4K?The reason why it's better to have a much higher spec than a 4 teraflop GPU in Lockhart is because however it is, they'll be making it look and run great on the console first, since that's where the majority of the sales come from.

When you have 10 teraflop consoles as the benchmark for the next 4-5 years, then it's better for everyone.
Especially PC gamers, since you'll get even better looking, and running games on high spec CPUs.
I'm not really that impressed by RDR2 on PC too, not because I think it looks shit, but that I think it could certainly could have looked better if the lead platform wasn't the Xbox One or PS4.

It's really not a big deal whichever way it's sliced. I'd be happy to see even weaker consoles, for the sole reason that the following 5+ years of ports to PC will run like butter on low end hardware.

As for RDR2, I think it looks great personally. I thought it looked good on a base PS4. Replaying it on PC, not even maxed out still looks to be one of the best looking game I'll play for a good couple years. Given how hard it is to max out at a stable FPS, I'm fine with it not looking any better than it already does as it may well be two more generations of Nvidia GPUs before their flagship card can comfortably run it fully maxed out at just 4K/60FPS.
As long as the CPU and available system memory are the same in each SKU... it's fine.

Welcome to Ascension
By Freewheelin Go To PostCongratsIt's as big of an upgrade as 480p -> 720p for me. Wish Sony would've included a 4K BluRay player but whatever. Might get a One X soon anyways.

It's a screen space effect injected by ReShade. I'm not an enormous fan. Leads to some weird effects and the performance drain is horrific for what it gives you.
Or are you just referring to Halo Reach?

bought the SOTC remake. Crazy how good the game looks and the 60fps is great but then you see Wanders face and hair, wtf bluepoint.
