Perhaps if you actually tried to understand how they came to that conclusion... You might understand that they aren't wrong, besides the Article was in response to a Nelson poll.
| SonytendoAmiibo said: So I can't use old information, but Digital Foundry can. Hmm. And not only did DF use old information with the Switch spec leak, they also used old information with the recent Scorpio spec leak. And with both leaks, proceeded to pile assumptions on top of old info. Its OK for them to do these things? I say it is misinformation. |
It's not misinformation.
They were not willing to release the information untill they had enough sources to verify it's legitimacy, which is why they sat on it for so long.
And at the time of posting, was accurate.
This is how legitimate outlets work... And it is better than them reporting on every single possible rumor.
Their opinion isn't the opinion of some random hobo walking along the street either, their opinion is built from technical understanding and knowledge.
| Normchacho said: The first key difference is that you tried to pass it off as current information (Strange that a site dedicated to finding the smallest resolution differences now say that resolution doesn't matter.) While DF gave the proper age, and natureof the information they were using in both of those cases. |
Context. They weren't saying Resolution doesn't matter, they were saying it is less important with a ton of post-processing, anti-aliasing etc'.
You need to read the entire article within it's intended context... And that their reasoning is that, there is more to image quality than resolution... And they aren't wrong on that assumption.
Is resolution nice though? Heck yes.
| SonytendoAmiibo said: Fact: Digital Foundry knowingly receives info that is protected by a legally binding NDA agreement. The information was not meant to be revealed to the public and is not yet finalized by the companies involved for public release. |
We have nothing to do with those who break NDA's whistle-blow.
That is their circus, not ours... And it does not make the information Digital foundry provides as inaccurate.
| SonytendoAmiibo said: Fact: Digital Foundry uses outdated info to substantiate their claims. Fact: Digital Foundry uses assumptions to substantiate their claims. |
Fact: Digital foundry waits untill it has enough evidence and sources to substantuate their claims, this may delay the release of information. This is a good thing.
| SonytendoAmiibo said: Just because the lemmings jump off the cliff means I am supposed to jump too? Sorry to disappoint you. I am an older person who grew up with news that was not filled with assumptions and opinions. News simply reported the facts. What passes as news today is nothing more than twisted truth and manufactured lies designed to get more views. Its sad. |
I love a good conspiracy theory.
| fleischr said: Whether Scorpio is "true 4K" or not - it's basically Xbox One Pro - meaning you get a range of enhancements. Make of that what you will. |
It doesn't matter in the end.
It was common knowledge that Scoprio was not going to be a "True 4k" device in tech circles, it's something I stated on this forum after the Scorpio reveal multiple times.
The technology does not exist in a form factor that is affordable for consoles to take advantage of.
But it will still end up being the console with the best graphics this generation.
| SonytendoAmiibo said: This thread is not about the capabilities of the Scorpio. Its about Digital Foundry and the wild assumptions they make with there spec leak videos. Their latest Scorpio spec video is a good 75% speculation. Why cant they wait untill they actually get their hands on one to test, and then tell us what the results are? |
The difference is, Digital Foundry is well versed on this topic, it's not some wildlish outlandish, impossible opinions that they are throwing around because cats.
The bright side is, Digital Foundry lets us know of what their opinion is, they don't hide the fact.
You need to stop making something out of nothing.
| SonytendoAmiibo said: But a site highly regarded like Digital Foundry should not be lowering themselves down to the level of common rumor mongers. YouTube already has millions of them already. |
Look if you don't like Digital Foundry, then the simple solution is... To stop reading their content and move on with life.
The rest of us will continue to use them as a good source of information.
| SonytendoAmiibo said: DF is saying the CPU is not Zen because of a vague statement from the document. Im not saying DF is being vague. Thats a pretty big assumption from one tiny phrase. Sorry to tell you this but Digital Foundry lays it on thick to get views and clicks. I am amazed that there are actual YouTube channel fanboys who will defend their chosen media outlet blindly. Whats next? Breakfast cereal fanboys? Its a sign of the times I guess. |
Note that they stated it was an assumption from the beginning and didn't pass it off as 100% factual.
And the reason why they made the statement they did is because all the information we currently have points to it, it's not just a random guess, they are basing that idea on a fundamental understanding of hardware. And ironically I said the same thing last year, that Scorpio will likely use Jaguar or it's direct successor, Puma.
So I ask you this, what kind of technical understand of computing hardware do you have? Why should we believe you over Digital Foundry?
