Damn this would be great for vrThey already have the camera. It's called Kinect Azure. It is tiny, powered by a simple USB port. It has a Amazon-Echo level whole room microphone, 4K camera and it's other sensors (Depth, motion, IR) are twice as good as the Kinect v2.
They may have their reasons, but it does not change the fact that they have been working in this environment half this generation, and since before the Switch launched.
And it won't be as easy and simple as you're suggesting either. Development for a single platform can be taxing as is. If you add another, it won't be easier regardless of what they are doing.
They are making a game to work on two different resolutions. Mark Cerny stated that Days Gone was ported over by a single developer. Microsoft ported an entire engine in two days. People are talking as if they are going to be working on two versions side by side..........they are not doing that on a single platform.
looks sleek.They already have the camera. It's called Kinect Azure. It is tiny, powered by a simple USB port. It has a Amazon-Echo level whole room microphone, 4K camera and it's other sensors (Depth, motion, IR) are twice as good as the Kinect v2.
It is not ported, ported is not the right word.
Exactly. If it's easy work, then deal with it after having completed the game for the 2 main SKUs, and if you have to remove features to get it running on other platforms afterwards (a.k.a. Switch) then deal with it later, don't even think about the other SKU during development. That's what I meant before that it should be an after thought.
Is the scalability touted by the Xbox brass - a hindrance to truly next generation fidelity?
Microsoft has been scaling down. Working on XB1X then scaling down to the S and base console with no issues, an example being Forza Horizon 4.
What is different? I really want to understand. Today's engines are scalable, you make a game either for the top end or the lower end and scale accordingly. You have the exact same thing that developers have been dealing with since the PS4 Pro launch, Xbox One X launch........and it is basically how games work on both modes for the Switch.
Then make a game for the top end and then scale down. What is the issue?
What on earth are you talking about?
Wait, when did Mark Cerny say that scaling down from PS4 Pro to the PS4 is an easy process?
It is actually a game which they are porting and it takes quite a bit more time and money to make sure that such port meets all the requirements, especially since you will need to go and remake the content for that more often than not, and this is very expensive. Hence why it's a bad idea to have two versions of the same console on the market.
Dude, it really puzzle me how u would not understand up scaling and downscaling after some many explanation from others. You are overtaking Mr West world
The Kinect v2 development kit was also $399.
Damn, this actually seems pretty noteworthy. It's nice to see a Sony higher-up acknowledge this. Maybe Cross platform play will actually become standard next gen.
Those quotes might be oversimplifications, not applicable in all cases, or true but specific to the circumstances of the mid-generation consoles.
Obviously MS gonna take 500$ loss on Lockhart because they have infinite money and they don't really care about HW profits/losses
Did you read what I stated?
By the way, was Dr Keo banned? He debunked this theory multiple times showed how games scale mainly on resolution. He was so good at it that there was literally nobody that could eventually debunk what he stated given the data that he had presented. I have quoted his posts so many times in different versions of this thread that I am no longer bothered to do so.
So a single developer porting a game is going to break a budget? Or porting an engine in 2 days? Tools are also getting better, and this is going to be another generation where you are dealing with AMD tech. It is an evolution rather than the huge revolution we have been seeing in past generations.
So bad that Sony and Microsoft had mid gen refreshes? Come on man. We have a game that is running 1080p, 60fps, and 4k,30fps in addition to the base model, and all it took was two years. You create a game, the engine scales....you would then debug just as any other software. The tools are getting better too.
So devs did have problem with it. It's that simple
The game you saw, have you any idea of release window? And is it next-gen only?
As an idea of weaker SKU. It may be alive as an all digital cheaper version of Scarlett. Like Switch Lite
this is what tomwarren had told us a few days back. Check his post history, you will find it easily. I made a post about it a couple days ago as well.
