IMO It is absolutely a "huge game" changer because it will "close the gap" and enable xb1 to hit 1080p/60fps. Haven't you noticed that is the only thing that has mattered to the performance crowd? That right there will equalize the huge powah advantage SOME PEOPLE say exists. Then what when all pixels are accounted for? I'll bet we'll hear hype of games being rendered internally @ even higher Rez and frequencies and scaled down for our primitive televisions by Ps4 will begin.
I'm glad you're here to set the record straight for us who would like to here some good news about xbox1 for a change. To remind us sony = naveed.
Here are some other things "some" people have said...
Esram gimmick
Cloud hype
Dx12 obsolete
Tiled resources myth...
My 2 cent is, you cannot blame people from being skeptical. So far there is a lot of talks, but not so much end results. I don't think anyone in the right mind is saying all these didn't work, but people are skeptical if they are so game changing for xbox one.
People are not saying these tech guys are lying, but rather if they inflated some of the stuff a little. This is the gaming industry, making inflated claim ain't exactly uncommon. Sony have made very inflated claims on their PS2 & PS3 hardware like Cell before, & every other developer on their game.
I am not a technical guy when it comes to PC hardware, many people ain't. All we need is to be shown.
I do not think anyone will be skeptical (except fanboys) if MS show say KI, running at 1080/60 using DX12 & SDK2.
If EA, or Konami, go on stage, & say, we have worked with MS, here is what we wanted to show, its a short demo, but this is what you can expect in our next game. Then they proceed to show a demo of battlefield or Ground zero, running 1080p/60 & maybe some added effect not possible before with the improvements. On X1 of course. That's all I need to believe.
If MS wanted to convince the average person the improvement, this is what they should do. Show.
Yes, I know someone will say, nay, there will still be Naysayers. Of course there will be, but these will be just fan-boys, & not people genuinely wanted to be convinced.
There you go, my 2 cents.
