stupid post is stupidDidn't have to, usually a game will only win a couple, but if its a sony game that's enough for you.
What game wins 'Best Graphics of 2014'?

- Start date
There is literally zero reason to not use the full screen realty, other than to save GPU ms.
It may not be a fact, but it's the only theory that makes sense. No artist CHOOSES to give away screen realty.
Couldn't be that these indie devs are guys and gals who simply don't have the talent to build something which takes advantage of the hardware, could it?
Of course it could.
Devs, artists, and designers build and create to the best of their abilities... Jonathan Blow isn't capable of building something or even designing something which would truly stress these consoles.
...and why was it designed around that aspect ratio?
Because when they built their vertical slice, proof of concept, or prototype, they realized the performance trade off, and made the decision which would result in the best compromise between artistic vision and technical performance.
The black bars are a compromise. Nothing more.
Is hard to say right now, I mean Tomb Raider very well could be. The Inevitable Forza 6 will be a worthy contender(they always are, imo), Halo 5 seems to be getting lots of praise by fans. Plus, I would not be shocked if MS announces 1 or 2 things for 2015 at E3.
Honestly, there are a lot of possible GOTY contenders for 2015 across all platforms. However, we have yet to see much, if anything, from a lot of the obvious contenders.
Consider it topped...
Any other questions?
That looks like an awesome cut scene. Love the candle flicker too.
It's confirmed to NOT have multiplayer, but I would love to see it added. I guess it depends how many hours the game is, how many side missions there are and what would give it value and replayability for $60.00.

Don't start interjecting with the big boys until you've earned the right to do so.
Please don't tell other members how to post.
just love walking around in this world.
Is that Ryse?
Uh oh....now it's the "I will attack his grammar because I got noting else". Is that Group G?
This looks amazing. Not pretty good, and no way is it obvious that it falls short of anything.
Is that game play? It would look better with black bars.
For me, Quantum Break could be the one. But I am an extremely biased Remedy fanboy.
It's quite obvious. No need to hear them official say that. Why do you think The Evil Within had black bars? For the same reason until the PC fans cried havoc and was able to remove them because they have more powerful setups.
What do black bars have to do with the design of the game other than the obvious?
Interesting picture, one cannot help but wonder, what's that transparent plastic thingy behind?
It's what he puts the things from his nose in.

People know what the developer said. They said it was for cinematic effect. Thats missing the point. The same developer also say the game is 30fps as it is more cinematic.
Next time I should made a game that last 2.5 hours, & claim the length was short because thats more cinematic. Movies normally last about 2 hours right? Damn, going by these, I should also totally add in some forced commercial trailer of other games, because its also more cinematic.
By the way, I just engaged to Taylor Swift. See, just because someone said it, doesn't make it true.
then again, reading this thread, I can see why developers made these funny claims, because there are people that actually believe them.

So there ya go the devs say the opposite of what the troll says.
ACTUAL game devs>PC troll
Its a cinematic type experience has anybody not watched the footage?

There you have it. They chose 4XMSAA to get rid of aliasing which makes the game look really good at 800p as opposed to turning MSAA off and getting 1080p with aliasing.
So to eliminate the black bars and maintain the same aspect ratio of 2.40:1 (cinematic ratio), they would need the PS4 to render at 2592x1080 w/4XMSAA.. PS4 simply isn't powerful enough to do that and maintain 30fps. Therefore, logically concluding that they compromised on the PS4's throughput and went with 1920x800 4XMSAA @ 30fps.

They upped the AA BECAUSE of the chosen LB mode.

He actually is right. A better way to think of it is like this: Developers are always thinking of ways to improve performance, and there is no way did they decide to add black bars and not have already understood the inherent and immediate benefit to performance. It possibly wasn't the only reason they added black bars, but there is no doubt it was one of the reasons they went with the black bars. And given that the framerate was not so good before the patch, you can definitely say that the black bars were needed to prevent further drops in fps.

No.
And even if they wanted 2.40:1 first as a priority. Making it 2592x1080p with no MSAA still didn't clean the image up enough. So they went with 4xMSAA and downscaled it to 1920x800p. In other words, PS4 got taxed with what they really wanted, so they downscaled it -- which is what everyone is saying.

They made a design choice of a cinematic 30fps with movie like letter-boxing.
Of course this would free up resources so they could use better AA.
I am in no way saying the engine could achieve say 60fps or that quality of AA in full screen but I do believe as stated above it was a design choice not a console limitation and you haven't showed this not to be the case yet.
