That was a horrible article. Maybe parents should teach there kids sharing before they get them a console anyways.

You do know they still aren't set with how many tablet controllers they're going to allow right?

I'd say, Green Lantern

Both should be legalized, but not for the purpose of government revenue or to create new jobs. It should be legalized because it's a personal freedom that doesn't violently harm others.

and I want the TC to quote my message...what would keep PC devs to start using a much better gpu "optimized at 480p" to crush the consoles 1 month after they are released?lightleggy

Tesselation can be used in essentially two ways (well, a combination approach is certinaly also possible).

The way it's being used in games right now, and probably will continue to be used until a few years from now:

- To enhance certain surfaces with geometric detail. Rocks, floors, walls, areas of existing models.

And the way it will likely be used in the futrue:

- To replace LOD models and create a fully tessellated mesh that can be increased and decreased in detail at runtime.

I think the next gen of PC hardware will be capable of the second method of tesselllation. If the consoles are also capable, then we'll be in for a treat, as the old LOD system can be finally done away with taking pop-in with it, increasing geometric details to incredible levels, and freeing up resources to do other stuff. If the consoles are not capable, then we'll only see this happening in PC exclusives in the future.

The demo takes a mixed approach to tessellation, but leaning heavily on the second option. And that pummels the tessellation units on mdoern GPU's. With extreme tessellaiton I get about 50 FPS with dual GTX 580's and an i7 920. Specs that I doubt very much next gen consoles will match.

[QUOTE="slarkyslark"][QUOTE="lightleggy"] its leggy, not laggy. are you trying to tell me an N64 game at 1080p wont look better than the graphics king of this gen? LIES!!! ofc it wont look better...that is extremely obvious because you are comparing games with more than 10 years difference, its like saying that doom will be the graphics king if played at 10312903420179472108472103217x1301247801234783127p but crysis will look terrible, and in that resolution, any other game from this gen would crush it, modded crysis at 480p wont look better than the witcher 2 at 1080p or uncharted 2 or assassins creed or crysis 2 or any single damn game released because 480p is a **** resolution. there is a limit in stuff you can do...thats what you dont understand, you said "WHY MY PS1 GAMES LOOK FAR WORSE THAN MY 360 GAMES IF I PLAY BOTH AT 480P" (and even then the statement is false, since PS1 games were not at 640x480) ok lets make another analogy...let say you are an sculptor, and you have a warehouse which roof is at 6 meters from the ground. you can build an awesome 2 meters sculpture. but if you try building a 10 meters sculpture it wont fit because the warehouse roof is at 6 meters from the ground. thats pretty much how res work, you can put details into a res but theres a maximum amount of detail that can go into it. everything in the screen is composed by pixels, everything including shadows, textures, models, everything displayed is a pixellightleggy

Current consoles could achieve that, albeit not at 1080p.
