Can’t take DF seriously they’re nothing but paid Xbox fan boys. Of course they’re going to analyse a Sony presentation and focus on the negatives.

I will use your message to respond in general, but do not take it as a totally direct response to you. Part is for you, and part is not. I hope you know how to identify yourself properly with each part. The rest ignore it.
You question everything. And if I defend some values it is for justice, not partisanship, I am a fair person and I like to offer the truth, whether it is beneficial or not. All the information I have given is in the public domain, it is online and you can verify it by other professionals. But to get a realistic idea you must read the entire set of information. Not just the part that people are interested in. I cannot give any non-public information. I am not a journalist.
I have been vetted since I arrived. It appears reflected in my user. Not only here but also in Resetara. I shouldn't be wasting time justifying myself more. Still I do it, out of respect and education. But within limits, not of quantity but of repetition. I can't be constantly repeating the same thing with everyone every time.
For me the forum is not my life. It is a distraction, a place where you can share fun and enjoyable moments with other users, and a place where you can ignore the rest who try to create conflict. I come here in good faith. But honestly, I'm already getting tired. I am not used to your daily battles.
What is the use of me saying that I am impartial and that I like "the games" if you don't believe it either? So why do you want to know? I have access to 8 or 9 VR devices of different brands (including HoloLens), and it is not my fault that one of them is from Sony, the rest are from PC or autonomous, in the same way it is not my fault that Microsoft has decided to change its policy regarding these devices. Does that make me "partial"? Really?
I understand and am fully aware that I expose myself to this type of attitude. It is a forum, and there is a wide variety of people, of all races, beliefs, tastes, etc ... It is impossible to adequately coincide with so much variety. But you have to differentiate between those mature and those who are not. If all you really want to know is that you have invested your money well, don't count on me. Those types of people only have one interest, all they want is to "win". And with this attitude all they do is "lose". Miss opportunities and lose consciousness. I will never understand that an AstonMartin user argues with a Lambroghiny user. I hope they give me one (Bo_Hazem , just kidding, I don't really need to, I couldn't afford the gas).
If people question everything that you do not like to hear, it is not surprising that other colleagues do not appear around here. They already warned me, and maybe my mistake was not having listened to them. Luckily it is a mistake that I can correct at any time. I take the duffel and leave and everyone is so happy. What I'm not going to do is waste more time. So this is my last message about it. Those who are interested in continuing to stay informed with the information they can give already know where to find me and where I always respond (by PM). For the rest (publicly) I will only limit myself to commenting on what I think is convenient but without answering anything. Or maybe I just use "likes" to express a thought. I will no longer enter an infinite cycle of discussion with anyone. Apart from the fact that I can't, I don't want to spend more time on it, my time is finite and it also has a price.
When I saw Tim Sweeney being debated on Twitter, I couldn't believe it. In the end it ended as it should have, with an apology. At that moment I started to see (perhaps late) when a user pretends to "know" or exchange opinions and when a user only tries to annoy or try to drag you into an absurd and childish war over his personal interests. The sad thing is that many of these people are already advanced in years.
Regarding 22GB/s, and in general "the numbers", what I wanted to say is that if you want to make comparisons you must do them on valid equivalences. Because it is absurd, as I have often read here comparisons of the CPU based only on its GHz, indistinctly from the rest. And no, if you want to make a comparison, you have to take into account the GHz in the same conditions, that is, with the SMT, because comparing the GHz one with SMT and the other without ... it is absurd. And then you have to analyze well how much available power each CPU has left to do its job, since there are many customizations on both sides. The same thing happens with 22GB/s (I also gave an example with 9GB (but since I have not put it numerically it must have been overlooked). And if you do not want to use that example we can make another one that perhaps you do not understand better, the Customizations make the 4.8 on the PS5 more efficient than the 4.8 on the XSX. Another thing is that you do not like to read this. Likewise, in order for your discussions to be more realistic, there should be more public details for some to fully understand it and I hope it doesn't take long to do a total gutting of the console. And I refuse to believe that the problem is because of the language, I do not think that my translations are so bad that everyone can understand, in a bad translation, what I really could have meant.
Still, there will always be some Linus Tech.
As a final note, I do not want this message to offend all those who have supported me publicly or in the shade all this time, both with their words and with their silence. I hope I have been helpful all this time and I thank you for your courtesy and proximity. I have felt very comfortable among you and I value it (and I still feel), I have nothing to reproach you. A hug to all.
And now is when I invoke @Mod of War in case you want to clarify something to me or to any other user privately or publicly, as he or the Staff deems appropriate.
Sorry, too late. But is the last time.
They literally just did a video saying how good PS4 checkerboard rendering was and it was by Alex"the Xbot" too.you think all that partnering, invites etc doesn’t come with Bias? Please
Isn't DF chosen to do a breakdown of the PS5 soon? Oh no all that partnering and invites...you think all that partnering, invites etc doesn’t come with Bias? Please
you think all that partnering, invites etc doesn’t come with Bias? Please
In that case you are disagree with the ex Sony employee that you quoted yourself. May be make that clear in your post.I never claimed that....I stated that they aimed for 4K/30 FPS and prioritised graphical fidelity over FPS. That is a trade-off.
Even in the PS360 era, it was clear that DF was leaning towards Xbox, from 2013 it became even clearer. 2017; or the release of the One X, has nothing to do with it. Something would like to be invented here that has never happened in reality.
it's the tools or the data that are biased. probably provided by MS !So let me get this straight, the times DF was biased was when 360 was beating PS3 in multi platform comparisons, and again when Xbox One X was beating PS4 Pro in multi platform comparisons.
IT ALL MAKES SENSE!

As for having prioritised graphical fidelity, they're giving us 4k which was always the target. It's not like they went beyond everyone's expectations and targeted native 8k.
I personally see the whole thing as a clear instance of moving the goal post behind a smoke screen. We had a Crytek developer not long ago who explained to us to that fewer CUs in a console was a very good thing because it's more likely that you will keep them fully utilized and everybody bought it. That the PS5 was the most optimised console ever designed. That it was pretty much bottleneck free and therefore could easily take on the XSX with its larger GPU.
Now that Digital Foundry has started counting the games that reach 60 fps I'm seeing all sorts of new design goals and late call decisions brought up as excuses.
First party games should reach 4k60 fps. At least a few of them should reach dynamic 4k60. Xbox had several of those THIS gen and Tim Sweeny has been comparing the PS5 to high end PCs. If it required such gimping tradeoffs, then he should have said it because high end PCs give you 4k60 in most games. Dont get me wrong, I knew Tim was filling his pockets with his mouth all along.
it's the tools or the data that are biased. probably provided by MS !
another sponsored nvidia video :
if you need to look somewhere it's more there.
i don't count them but nvidia sponsored content happen time to time and more than other overall
They were bias even when PS4 was beating XB1... it was very clear.So let me get this straight, the times DF was biased was when 360 was beating PS3 in multi platform comparisons, and again when Xbox One X was beating PS4 Pro in multi platform comparisons.

No matter who is winning or have the better hardware they are biased toward Xbox (Richard and Alex... Dark apparently not... just reading the articles you know who write it).
So you are advocating for a performance metric that only the dvelopment studio would know. The texture budget size. And you are creating an abstract texture resolution concept different from the resolution of the picture on screen (I suppose R&C is using 8k textures or assets). Basically you are starting from the conclusion that the PS5 architecture as modelled has to be the best choice there is and you are building the metrics that matter as well as your argument from there. Hum..I do not understand why you think graphical fidelity is measured by the resolution of 4K? Real graphical fidelity is measured by the texture resolution and the amount of textures on the screen. That is close to totally separate from the overall 4K resolution. If you run a 4-6Gb texture budget (fairly standard on PC), 4K/60 FPS is fairly easy to achieve but the picture will still look nothing like a 1080p rendered CGI. That is because of the texture/VRAM budget.
So when you state 4K/60 FPS you are basically discounting the real improvement that the UE5 and PS5 show gave us: Amount of textures and texture resolution. And you are accepting the hard VRAM limitation that the PC architecture currently has without second thought. Do you understand what a limitation that is? And that this limitation is driven by I/O and GPU cache management to a significant degree instead of Tflops?
Now everyone and their mother can see that the texture budget is actually much more important for the experience as a viewer than 4K. That is what this discussion is really about and as a secondary topic: What can the XSX do here?
DF articles are the best receipts you can get... just read them.

There's nothing funny in my reply.Funny denial.
The articles is just one of the small example of clear bias but you keep the narrative.

AMD Cancels Implicit Primitive Shader Driver Support
Primitive shaders are lightweight shaders that break the separation of vertex and geometry shaders, promising a performance gain in supporting games. Initially announced during the Radeon RX Vega launch, the feature has been delayed again and again. At one of its 2018 International CES...www.techpowerup.com
The following slide is for RX Vega.
![]()
AMD has its own vision for next-generation geometry pipeline model which doesn't work with RX Vega and NVIDIA turns up with Turing's Mesh Shaders that just works.
Notice RX Vega already has multi-resolution rendering.
Despite RX Vega's extra hardware features, RX Vega is not compliant for DirectX 12 Feature Level 12_2. Hardware mistakes prove to be costly for AMD which is under Raja Koduri's administration.
MS mandated NVIDIA's Mesh Shader and VRS model on the PC industry i.e. AMD lost the standards war with AMD attempting to catch up with "RDNA 2".
RDNA 2 is AMD's "third time the charm" with the mentioned features.
Are you real?There's nothing funny in my reply.
Why don't you point out the bias in the article and give us actual examples as opposed to the 'duh bias' comments? After all, this is the article you chose to prove your case.

Does resolution really matter?
This one took us by surprise. A study undertaken by US pollmeisters Nielsen revealed this week that "better resolution"…www.eurogamer.net
So prove it.
You accuse me of 'keeping a narrative' but you have absolutely no response to my previous comment do you? Explain why the example of bias you gave is actually biased, if you can.
If you can't, maybe you should refrain from your own 'DF is biased' narrative.
Hang on. Is this a satire account? If so apologies, I've been taking it seriously all this time.You just missed that the main purpose of this thread is spreading FUD after the shockingly impressive and unprecedented graphics PS5 has showcased.
Hahahahaha, man you kill me with this straight man schtick.You just missed that the main purpose of this thread is spreading FUD after the shockingly impressive and unprecedented graphics PS5 has showcased.
You can't find any actual example of bias in that article can you? Claims without supporting evidence are meaningless. The article you posted as proof is anything but, in fact the article is perfectly reasonable and even-handed.Are you real?
The whole article is a damage control bias lol
In less than 5s I showed random proof and you keep the denial narrative.
Maybe you should go back in the past and change what happened lol
Don't get swept up, this is how ethomaz is. He likes his PS and thats totally fine but he also really really wants to make sure everybody knows it.You can't find any actual example of bias in that article can you? Claims without supporting evidence are meaningless. The article you posted as proof is anything but, in fact the article is perfectly reasonable and even-handed.
"In less than 5s I showed random proof" No. You showed a link to a Gaf thread where people, who think like you, were thinking like you. That's not proof of anything.
Show us the quotes, show us the examples, be specific. If DF is so biased you should have no problem.

I understand your point about personal quirks, however there are new users here everyday and I think good gaming journalism deserves at least a modest defence. Especially in the face of ill-informed attacks.Don't get swept up, this is how ethomaz is. He likes his PS and thats totally fine but he also really really wants to make sure everybody knows it.
Agreed. DF isn't as biased as ethomaz likes to think.

So just by reading standard articles, you're seeing bias
Problem, we have a Houston!
you know where the problem is ? in the head of those people because they don't see problem to be solved whatever the brand and they don't really care about technology . They only see brand warring and a discussion not strengthening their "side"There's nothing funny in my reply.

In one month if you read the description "in-engine" or "real-time" without more details, you can be pretty sure they'll use 2080ti again.Dear brother, problem is, you're an honest guy and love to help with information. You just missed that the main purpose of this thread is spreading FUD after the shockingly impressive and unprecedented graphics PS5 has showcased. Previously, at least one guy here was directly insulting me, it's a circus, leave this thread and let them have their imaginary win. We're only one month away from the total truth and hard comparisons between the two consoles in action, assuming they'll not use 2080Ti again as Xbox, not hollow and inflated words with nothing to back it up in the games.
Cheers and stick around where you are valued.

You know whatThe real question is, when's the ban for disingenuous warrior bullshit gonna happen?
Absurd claim, reciepts requested, request refused, claimed doubled down on.
A vetted industry professional would be easily copping a 2 week ban for said bullshit.
My honest take is that mods mostly ban Xbox fanboys more than Sony fanboys even though there's more of them and many egregious comments. Evidenced by many threads but especially the speculation thread. As well as banning way more xbox fanboys(who deserved it) than Sony fanboys( who also deserved it but weren't) although both sides are equally in err on some level...per capita(slanted towards Sony more because there are more Sony fanboys, the "percentage" is probably the same though).The real question is, when's the ban for disingenuous warrior bullshit gonna happen?
Absurd claim, reciepts requested, request refused, claimed doubled down on.

True. DF has gone to Sony numerous times to ask about VRS, and Sony refused to answer.Bias? When one company has been completeLy transparent about every feature of their system while the other has only really detailed their SSD? Even when asked by multiple outlets Sony has yet to answer any hardware related question that doesn’t paint the PS5 in the best light.
I think it’s only natural to keep investigating and asking these questions until we have a definitive answer.
Remember when Digital Foundry essentially predicted the PS5 being 36CUs all the way back in April 2019 and fanboys shit their diapers for a whole year saying they were crazy? You know who you are, and you're in no positition to call them out. Hahaha.

In his defense, I haven't really ever reported people on this site. Maybe 2x at most. I'll only report extremists, on EITHER side. I feel like most people can talk it out, and come to a disagreement. Reporting is a last resort to those who are being belligerent. I won't report those who are simply trolling, but making the community a hellhole.Wait a sec, are you asking for someone to get banned? For real? Why not using the report button instead? What I find more stupid than a console warrior is someone suggesting some member to get ban. What is this, resetera?
Or perhaps put that to the ban thread.

I've gotten banned plenty of times from specificallyIs not about defense of someone. Just by context, asking someone to get the same fate as a baneed member you imply you either want the person banned or the previous banned get disbanned and this put a bit of doubt in the Staff works. Nobody is forced to use the report button, but you lost the right of spin the sittuation if you not.Bill O'Rights already explain many times you need to use the report button or else will be pretty much ignored.
Thats why is better leave all this stuff to the ban thread.

If it’s all about who hits the report button more, whoever has the biggest fan base will get banned less, thus gaining an even bigger amount of support on the site and dominate the report button even more. It’s a terrible stance for the site to hold
