Dear Media: The GPU change was developer facing. Unplugging Kinect does not get you more HP. Devs have to code to the new specs.

It got boring after G1 (1st prestige). I've pretty much played all titles that were "hyped" for both consoles/pc. Nothing has held my attention. I always go right back to 2k
Xbox games for gold just gave out Max, you should be :eat: right now. On the PS4 side, there's no games because that's what is said.

Why not just post the original article?

Everybody wants to put their own little spin on shyt for clicks. The sad state of game "journalism"

Xbox One dev kits receive more GPU bandwidth • Eurogamer.net

Anything beyond this is just clickbait fukkery

Note that the power reserves being enabled aren't all related to kinect.

Remember this article

Microsoft to unlock more GPU power for Xbox One developers • Eurogamer.net

Xbox One reserves 10 per cent of graphics resources for Kinect and apps functionality, Digital Foundry can confirm, with Microsoft planning to open up this additional GPU power for game development in the future. This, and further graphics and performance-based information was revealed during our lengthy discussions with two of the architects behind the Xbox One silicon.
They said they would be doing this a long time ago, and it has nothing to do with the decision to offer a kinect less SKU.

But you know, Sony Stans and "game journalism".....:manny:

I heard about Max but didn't think it would interest me. I'll check it out tonight. Good look, as always, breh

I hear you, but I did mention a patch. I've seen it done on PC.
in this case, developers for each game would have to look at their games, see where the added 10% GPU boost would help the most, and then decide if it makes business sense to work on a game specific patch. there is no way one console patch will work

Same there, "journalists" that have no idea what they are talking about.

It's not "X1 is faster without kinect"

The real story is "Microsoft has given devs the option to use resources formerly reserved for kinect"

Also some of the tools/improvements given to devs have nothing to do with kinect

But that just wouldn't get as many clicks

They wrote the titles purposely to fuel the kinect debate, instead of just reporting the news accurately.

OP posted it here, so y'all can get your circle jerk on.

Have fun :cheers:

Exactly. These journalists have these simpletons fingured out all too well. Meanwhile, there STILL isn't shyt to play on the PS4..:laff:
