I wish Cheat would make a subforum for just Class only, so Class is only allowed to talk to himself in his lonely little subforum and we can be rid of him forever.
Perma'ing him would be easier

I still hate MGSV though I'm glad it's gone
This is pretty retarded tbh.

MGSV is easily one of the best games in recent years, even with the weak story.

Stop being such a child.

>ignoring the perfectly valid argument that 360 graphics have objectively improved over the console's lifespan
Yes. The graphics of games on the 360 did drastically improve over its lifespan. I never once denied that.
However, using it at all when discussing the 8th gen consoles, isn't valid. At all.

How many times will it take for it to get through to you? 7th gen is nothing like 8th gen.
Developers didn't know how to fully and effectively take advantage of the 360 and PS3. It took them years to figure things out.
That's why games like TLoU came at the end of their lifespan. They were able to utilise the hardware and software super effectively and efficiently.

Quote
The Nvidia 8800/9800 GT released in 2006/2008. Recommended specs for this. Also the recommended specs for this. Meets the minimum requirements for games as recent as this and this.
This doesn't prove anything.
The recommended specs to effectively run those two games meet the minimum specs to barely run two newer games.

Do you know what minimum means? Have you ever seen GTAV running at the very minimum? It looks fucking awful.

Quote
I think the reason you have to cherrypick apart my own argument, instead of actually producing your own evidence, is that you have none. There is zero precedence for any of the bullshit you're spewing about hardware limitations.
I haven't cherrypicked anything. I broke up your posts to directly address each point. Just like I'm doing now.

I don't need to provide evidence regarding obvious and widely known facts. The PS4 and Xbone were outdated and underpowered before they were even released in comparison to the current hardware in 2013. There's no changing this fact whether you like it or not. No amount of driver optimizations will ever change this. Software can't compensate for hardware.

Shall I make a list of games that struggle to run on the 8th gen consoles, or had to cut back on things so they can run? Because it'll be a long list.

None of what I'm saying is bullshit. If you actually knew anything about hardware, you'd know that the next few years are going to be tough on the 8th gen.
That, and hardware improving faster than ever, they've become outdated significantly faster than 7th gen.

And before I finish here, I'll repeat it one last time, for good measure.
The PS4 and Xbone use off the shelf hardware. They use the exact same architecture as PCs use.
There is near nothing that they need to relearn, because they already know how to develop for what the PS4 and Xbone are running on.
7th gen used different hardware and architectures that were very foreign to developers. They had to learn a lot. It took them near enough the entire 7th gen lifespan to properly understand and to effectively and efficiently utilise what the 360 and PS3 were using. 8th gen is NOYHING like that.


But whatever. Stay ignorant and keep buying into MS' and Sony's PR.

Not necessarily, you don't know that.
We kinda do, though.

Yes, there's still going to be marginal improvements between now and 9th gen through driver optimisations and such, but nothing anywhere near as close to what we saw last gen.

Plus we're at the point of diminishing returns, too.

Quote
343i isn't necessarily going to make a game exactly like Bungie would, because they're not Bungie, and they had to do a lot from scratch, even though they were used the Reach engine on steroids.
Okay?
It's no secret that a lot was sacrificed to gain that level of fidelity. Even then, Halo 4 is pretty ugly in many places. Textures are pretty low quality. AI is retarded. Framerate. Lightning isn't very good. Explosions are low quality and downgraded.
Among other things.
Halo 4 struggled on forge and splitscreen too.

Quote
It still doesn't explain the vast majority of other late-gen 360 games.
lol
Like 70% of those images are bullshots.



This gen isn't anything like last gen. Developers almost know completely what the PS4 and Xbone can do.
They're gimped PCs with weak, outdated, off the shelf hardware, using the same x86 architecture as PCs.
There's no changing this.

What you need to know is that I'm kind of a big deal around here.

I pretty much made the site and if it wasn't for me mods wouldn't even be able to ban people.
Umm, stop taking all of the credit.

This place is only around still because I stepped down as admin and gave Cheat the position
Dude I GAVE you admin.

Anyways, Brute is the real hero. We'd be nothing without him.
You only gave me Admin because I initially turned down the position before we set this place up so you could have the position.

Also... Isn't Halo 5 only 60 fps in a small bubble around you?

Yeah

Enemy animations at distance are 30
Sounds like Dark Souls 2.

It's kinda pathetic that the XB1's first 'proper' exclusive can barely maintain 60fps. The resolution alters when things get hectic to keep a consistent frame rate.
It's not pathetic at all when you realize the hardware was out of date since before it even came out. On both platforms.

The 360 and PS3's potential was far more powerful and greater, and actually ahead on the market (even with PC's) in many cases. Not the fact with Xbone and PS4. I assume due to how much it costs building it, inflation, etc.

Last gen didn't hit its limit until around a decade later. Current gen hit it before it even hit the markets.


That's what I meant. Eight-gen concoles are hilariously underpowered.
Ehhhh

It's still early in the console's life span. This used to be considered good graphics. If you took Halo 4 into a time machine, and showed it to people in 2005, no one would have believed that it would be an Xbox 360 game.

You're both talking out of your asses.
This gen isn't anything like last gen.
This gen uses off the shelf hardware and uses the same architecture that PCs have been using for a long time. Developers already knew how to utilise the hardware to its max (or extremely close to it) since day 1.

Last gen used non-standard hardware and non-standard architectures. Developers had to learn how to utilise the hardware for each console because they were also drastically different from each other instead of just PCs.
They were still figuring things out long into the 7th gen's lifespan.

And Halo 4 looks as good as it does because other things were sacrificed, like AI and level sizes.

I think it is

who plays split screen in 2015?
Going by my own experiences with friends and acquaintances combined with the pretty massive outrage on forums after this was announced (which apparently reached such a magnitude that 343 tried to find a way to add splitscreen but found themselves simply unable to because of how the engine was designed)? I'd say quite a number of people still enjoy actually directly socialising with people while playing games. Apparently, 343 even recognized that the number was large enough that they're going to try and implement splitscreen in Halo 6.
The number is still very small though. A couple hundred people is a drop in the ocean.
I alone can find a couple hundred people who love splitscreen from my own high school. If 343 decided that they're going to try and implement it for Halo 6 and both MS and Sony intentionally included the possibility for splitscreen and numerous controllers to be used simultaneously, I strongly doubt that only a few hundred people making up just a miniscule fraction of gamers are still interested in being able to play splitscreen.
If a large portion of Halo players used split screen still to warrant split screen in Halo 5, it'd be in 343's best interest to keep it, instead of deciding to cut it in favour of other possibilities that would open up.

That evidently wasn't and isn't the case.
The fact that thousands of people complained, that 343 evaluated how possible it would be to add it through a patch and that they now went on to state that the complaints have been far too many to ignore and that they're already looking at how to make it work for Halo 6 suggests the complete opposite. They made a mistake and realized that now.

I get that many people don't like splitscreen if it holds back other things, but I really don't see the issue if they can limit the downsides to people deciding to opt for splitscreen, just like how numerous games have been doing for years. With more people being connected to high speed internet and the much improved ways of socializing from a distance these days, it makes sense that less people will go for splitscreen. But obviously, that number is not non-existent or negligible yet.

Stable 60fps, the highest possible resolution and having the full screen at your disposal are of vital importance to you? Great, then don't play splitscreen. The people who do will gladly sacrifice some frames to be able to play the games with friends.

Think that guests are always incredibly awful players, despite this not being true and terrible players playing by themselves just the same? Stick to the playlists that don't allow them.

I genuinely don't get what the issue is here if they tweak their engine by Halo 6.
60fps isn't the only thing that'd be gimped, though.

Halo 5 is a big game doing much more than previous Halo games.
Bigger battles. More AI. Big areas for combat.

Holding back potential like this to please a minority is stupid, in many ways.
