    I can't believe PS4 and Xbone still don't run 1080 @ 60 FPS. I thought that both were suppose to do this? Shame on the console makers.

    • @ilov3mus1cx3
      @ilov3mus1cx3 10 років тому +13

      They would be able to do that, but devs rather put more effects in their games and brainwash their audience with "filmic look of 30fps" BS.
      I think Sony and Microsoft are involved in that, because they want their products to seem to be on par with pc. Which clearly isn't the case.

    • @NonsensicalSpudz
      @NonsensicalSpudz 10 років тому

      ps4 does run most games at 1080p 60 fps, but not all so i do entirelly agree with you and xbox's 900p wtf is that

    • @rmpumper
      @rmpumper 10 років тому +9

      PS4 can't even handle Last of Us remaster at 1080p60fps with high res shadows so it's not a surprise that it can't handle "next-gen" at 1080p60fps. Xbone is even worse.

    • @Storebrand_
      @Storebrand_ 10 років тому +7

      NonsensicalSpudz ignorant mook, PS4 doesn't run most games at 1080p 60fps, it's in the same league as Xbox in terms of performance, it's better than X1 but nothing to brag about at all.... Unless of course you're a fanboy, then you'd brag about anything.

    • @Timotheeee1

    • @bobbygeiser8478
      @bobbygeiser8478 10 років тому

      I'm pretty sure PC Perspective is a much bigger company than LMG, if anyone was hiring someone, it would be the other way around.
      Unless you mean contract instead of hire, that might work. Not sure if Ryan would have the time for that, though.

  • @cillermaniak
    @cillermaniak 10 років тому

    @Linus, you might be confused a bit there, at the end. Using IRC doesn't mean using a fully different server, in this case it means using the Twitch IRC server itself. Their whole chat is based on IRC. By using an IRC client to access the twitch chat, you're not breaking any partnership requirements, you're just using a different front-end for the same chat.

  • @SweejitOfficial
    @SweejitOfficial 10 років тому +1

    I notice the choppyness of 24fps in movies, the Hobbit's 48fps was perfect imo, if you agree I recommend you to look up SVP (Smooth Video Project), it's not native 48fps, but it takes any video you throw at it and artificially doubles the frame rate. It's pretty damn nice.

  • @allotheabove123
    @allotheabove123 10 років тому +7

    Honestly, a locked 30PFS is not the worst thing ever. Its certainly not optimal but as long as the frame-rate doesn't fluctuate up and down all the time then its still playable to me. However Ubisoft's recent statements are some of the purest bullshit I've ever heard from a game company. Every time I hear a GAME developer talk about being cinematic I want to rip my hair out. This is a fucking video game, not a movie.

    • @niq872
      @niq872 10 років тому

      Yea I don't 30 fps is bad as long as it won't be going higher and lower like crazy but saying it's better and mor even emetic is dumb.

    • @allotheabove123
      @allotheabove123 10 років тому +1

      niq872 30 FPS is unacceptable for me when I'm playing on my PC but for some console games, I can get over it if the game is good enough. The cinematic excuse is laughable. What the hell kind of PR is that?

    • @niklasbergvall9656

    • @HarishParchuri
      @HarishParchuri 10 років тому

      I *wish* I could bear 30fps. But my 120Hz monitor made 60fps seem only decent. I actually used to be able to bear 30fps with my old computer but now it's sort of like 60 is the new 30 for me.

  • @GerkenVideos
    @GerkenVideos 10 років тому

    Always love seeing Ryan on the show!

  • @Ganbalf
    @Ganbalf 10 років тому +4

    They should have 2 options for the graphics on consoles, One with 60 fps and lower graphics And one with 30 fps with Higher graphics.
    Ubisofts next step is to cap ALL their games on pc to 30 fps.. Let The Mods/Hacks Begin!

    • @allotheabove123
      @allotheabove123 10 років тому +1

      The Last of Us Remastered proved that this can work. In this day and age if consoles can't hit 1080p 60FPS as a standard then at least let me pick one of the two (although I personally would ALWAYS pick 60fps over 1080p)

    • @Ganbalf
      @Ganbalf 10 років тому

      allotheabove123 It is Very depending on the game, The Textures play a pretty big role on the resolution, So with less meshes and objects Or simply smaller textures 60 fps is pretty reachable.
      I cant run battlefield 4 at higher than 40 fps With Everything that is graphicly intensive And not CPU intensive turned to High On my
      gtx 660
      But i can run The Shadow Of mordor at 60 fps at close to all times with Everything that is Graphicly intensive turned to high/ultra and keep 60 fps at all times Exept in the strongholds.

    Was it just me or did anyone else see the irony in Linus saying "apparently the source video is only out of sync, switch to something lower and it will be fine" when he had just been slating Ubi for thinking low fidelity video is acceptable, Haha. The source video is what you use for the archive, Linus, and so now it is out of sync, wtf??

  • @allotheabove123
    @allotheabove123 10 років тому +2

    Linus, I have to disagree with you about the console life cycle. You (among others) keep saying that this generation will be short b/c of the console specs. While its true that the PS4 and Xbone aren't very powerful and are already being pushed to the limit, I don't see Sony and MS turning around another console very soon.
    The people who bought these consoles will not be okay with a short generation and Sony and MS know that. What we're likely to get is a generation of 900p and 30fps for at least the next 4-6 years.

    • @xIpodTouchGoeroex
      @xIpodTouchGoeroex 10 років тому

      they will wait till 4k is mainstream, could be 4-6 years yes

    • @maswanneragain
      @maswanneragain 10 років тому +6

      xIpodTouchGoeroex and by that time they will finally run 1080 ok

  • @RyuichiShinomori
    @RyuichiShinomori 10 років тому

    900p is not a deal breaker for me but FPS definitely IS. Sacrificing in certain places is noticeable when you run through a game sometimes but sub par FPS is noticeable the whole time, especially when an open world game is locked at 30.

  • @Ub3rSk1llz
    @Ub3rSk1llz 10 років тому

    1328x1080 will just be the internal rendering resolution. It will have absolutely no effect on the aspect ratio or the display resolution. Anyone that has used a console emulator will know what I'm talking about, it's the exact same thing.

  • @Music1982ish
    @Music1982ish 10 років тому +1

    Linus the WAN show was great as always. Can you please in future do a x99 vs z97 performance comparison for gaming and productivity. Benchmarks in games and maybe rendering would be great between the two platforms.

    LINUS!! If you take the time to read this comment sir I would very much appreciate it.
    If you could eventually get around to doing a comparison and benchmarks video of the
    gtx 970's from different manufacturer's such as msi, zotac, evga, and asus, finally concluding which one you think gives you most features or performance.
    Btw I chose my msi 660ti twin frozer from all the other models because you recommended it and I agree it's a great card for the price/performance ratio and im looking to upgrade onto this card the gtx 970.

  • @dreiundneunzig12

      Just checked, 1338x1080 is slightly LESS pixels then 900p.
      1328x1080 = 1434240 pixels.
      1600x900 = 1440000 pixels.
      That's just sad.

    • @smqc905
      @smqc905 10 років тому

      Wondering if its anamorphic widescreen? Do consoles support that? eg movies shot at 1440 x 1080 are stretched to 1920 x 1080, it reduces file size with acceptable quality loss.

  • @Jerome-iwnl

I also hope to build my business and get as far as you have. And I'm using Squarespace to do my website off your recommendation. Once it's up I will send you link.

    I run the original battery until I can not get more then 8-12 hours of life in them. Then I upgrade to a hi capacity battery which requires an enlarged back plate. Those usually last a day or two before needing a charge. That usually lasts until 2 years ends, and I buy a new cellphone.

    Maybe it will not use square pixels in the rendering. Rectangular pixels could change aspect ratio and wouldn't reduce quality as much as just cropping it and going with a lower resolution.

    Used to play League of Legends locked at 30 FPS since my laptop couldn't handle it. Then I upgraded to a PC that could handle 60 FPS (albeit not locked), and the difference was night and day! It felt so much smoother and more responsive that that my record improved dramatically... This is a NON-DEBATE!

  • @bigbuckoramma

    Two of the self proclaimed smartest dues in the tech industry, and you are seriously sitting here getting confused about how a graphics scaler works, and how one might STRETCH an image on the horizontal plane in order to fill 16:9 aspect? Have you guys ever heard of a Panavision Lens? How it takes a wide angle image, and compresses it horizontally to fit onto standard 35mm film, and then when it is played back through a similar Panavision lens, that compressed image at 35mm 4:3, is stretched back to a widescreen theater aspect ratio.
    A video scaler doesnt have to work at a 1:1 ratio, or scale in all directions. It can just as easily stretch an image vertically, or horizontally, or any other direction i would image. I am sure that the folks behind Halo did a fair amount of testing to determine which scaling method produced more visually appealing results, and determined horizontal stretch was the most pleasing/less noticeable alternative.
    This is nothing new at all. Even the PS2 did this over 10 years ago. Look at the 1080i mode in Gran Turismo 4. It utilizes a vertical resolution line doubling with a stretch as well. They did some trick interlacing in the video buffer to produce the doubled vertical resolution, and then stretch it horizontally. If you look at two adjacent diagonal surfaces, you can clearly see the stretch happening in one direction.
    I am literally amazed that for people as smart as you guys are, that something so incredibly basic, that has been around for years, somehow escapes your grasp. It boggles the mind.

      You cant be truly knowledgeable in a subject, if you arent intelligent enough to understand a basic concept of video scaling.

      bigbuckoramma I think they are confused whether the game supports it or not,since its a console release,they can't test it.And interlaced for a "next gen" console or current gen console is a disgrace

    • @bigbuckoramma
      @bigbuckoramma 10 років тому

      DavisSgt Go back and rewatch that segment. Linus spells out that it is running at 1080 vertical, but compressed horizontal. Ryan immediately dismisses it and asks "how can they do that", and proceeds to make the example of using a smaller vertical resolution that is in the same 16:9 aspect to what their horizontal resolution is. Linus again reiterates that they say they are going to do 1080 vertical, and Ryan comments that he doesnt believe it, and that it makes no sense, and Linus agrees that it seems odd.
      It isnt odd, and it isnt hard to understand. By keeping the vertical resolution high, and stretching the horizontal resolution with the scaler, they can still keep some improved fidelity, and remove some excess jaggies and pixelation that would exist if it was scaled 1:1 aspect such as Ryan had suggested.
      Rendering at an internally lower resolution, and stretching it to fit a particular aspect ratio has been done in consoles for years. Going back to XBox and PS2. Its even been done in some PC games as well, and is actually one of the features of NVidias super sampeling that will be coming soon to Kepler cards. So the fact they are so completely clueless about it, is pretty appalling.
      I also dont know were you are getting that anything is "interlaced", no one said anything about that on the next gen consoles.

You can define a "one transaction" only for higher security (I use them for internet purchases) or multiple transaction. It's VISA,MASTERCERD, compatible, blá blá blá, etc..

    That was a good show. Not to knock Luke or anything, but having two guys who really know their subject matter and feeding off of and complimenting each of the points of view was super refreshing. Sometimes, with Luke, it's kinda like he just wants to be contrary or take some sort of condescending position just be difficult.... like talking to a woman or something. In contrast, both Linus and Ryan were high energy, positive and professional. You can always tell who the boss is by the energy they are willing to put in to promote and expand their livelihood vs. who the employees are. Linus and Ryan exhibit that kind of energy so from my point of view the experience was rewarding. The show was an hour and 45 min +/- and I have a pretty hard time paying attention to anything that long, (ok I was watching the archive so I could pause and do stuff that had to be done and stuff), but I was genuinely surprised when Linus claimed the end of the show was near. So, yeah, thanks Linus and all you guys at LMG for a really great show.

    Thank god someone finally brought up that we're really just getting toned down GTX 970/980 parts instead of their "true" flagship card. Don't get me wrong they are both pretty good cards and currently put the hurt on nearly anything out there but if their mobile version is within ~25% of the desktop card then that means something wasn't done correctly with it. In mobile GPUs their main worry is heat so they have to have a very conservative TDP and if it's still getting "close" to a desktop card that doesn't have to worry about heat in the same way then they're not fully utilizing the chip or it was merely an adaptation of the mobile GPU to begin with.
