| ShinmenTakezo said: Your arguments is invalid. You jumped in an argument about the comparison of the consoles power. Then you took an example I used to make my point and argued against that instead of what the original argument was about. I don't care how well a dev can code. That is not the argument. I agree with you that all devs aren't equal, but who cares, that wasn't the original argument. Like I said before, you don't have to be the best coder in the world to understand hardware, architecture and its theoretical capabilities. Hell you don't have to be a dev. You have to do research. I don't know why you keep going on this rant like I ever once said all devs can code the same, or better specs makes you code a better. I never ever ever said that because I don't think that. You can have knowledge of something without coding to it. Like I said before there is such a thing as research. Better hardware with very similar architecture, with the edge going to the better hardware means no amount of coding can close the performance gap. Being a dev I would think you would know that. Your theory that anonymous sources are just some random jack off instead of knowledgeable people is just what I keep calling it, a conspiracy theory. You are generalizing all anonymous sources by suggesting they all could just be joe schmoes unless they are outed. Most of the time they are giving you info you can't readily confirm, and would get them in trouble if you could. The thing is it's usually the journalist who is the unreliable source of info and not the anonymous source. Good jurnos always have good sources of info and make sure their sources are credible before putting out info, bad jurnos spread bad info and don't check there sources credibility. |
I jumped into the part where you stated developers know about something they have no experience using. That has always been my argument. I care not for the willy waving on which console has the most power. You made a point i felt was not valid and I gave you examples whether you liked them or not to that effect. You do not have to care about how well a dev can code but it makes no sense to trust in someone ability if they cannot perform their job well. If I was going to see a doctor and I knew what his grades are in college, why would I go to the C student instead of the A student. Why would you value the C student word over the A student. This would be no different with a developer. If one developer says something is to complex or i cannot wrap my head around it, but a more accomplished developer says opposite, then I would side with the more accomplish developer
@Bolded: How?? How can someone actually tell you about performance of a device without actually coding to it. I have absolutly no clue how this can be done reliably. You mention better hardware how do you know all parts of the hardware is better. The only true better spec is the GPU. Even with the memory, who can tell how each one can be used for better performance. Is it easier on the PS4 end, yes, but easier doesn't make it better and each comes with pros and cons no layman knows how they effect the total system without actually using the tools provided by both companies to extract performance from those systems.
@ 2nd Bolded. There is no theory, this is my opinion on how I trust anon sources. Without being able to verify who these sources are they will always be suspect. I care not why a source feel the need to release info they are signed into agreement not to share. I only care about the information is the truth and without verification of the source or the information, I have no reason to believe it on blind faith until proven different.
