Quakecon Returns With BYOC | N4G

These guys are such haters, let me give some examples.

They talk about the Starfield 60 fps update while trying to cover their own butts after more or less telling people it couldn’t happen because they were fully defending the fact that the game was locked at 30 FPS at release. (Which totally wasn’t because the game was rushed out of course..) While going on and on about how revolutionary and innovative

is for having 40hz modes and unlocked framerate… Uh Miles Morales and Spider-Man Remake… pretty much every single Sony exclusive and remake this gen has had these features…. I guess they just forgot, since they didn’t mention PlayStation or their games even once in that segment. But ya, we’re all so glad for

innovation!

Then they talk about the PS5 Pro while avoiding talking about their previous framerate comments which haven’t really aged well given how obviously misguided it was. They must have known what they were saying was questionable at best but they said it anyway…

And of course, that didn’t keep them from talking down and using negative descriptors over and over when talking about the Pro. A perfect example is when they talk about how PS5 will have hardware VRS which they have constantly talked up in the past, but when they talk about it here it’s all negativity, I liked when they showed a single still image of VRS they chose a game which they claimed to be the worst implementation to highlight the feature, got to make it look bad for PlayStation… Which is funny because in this video they do talk positively about VRS and how it will pair well with upscaling, but they don’t talk about PSSR of course every upscaling tech but PSSR…

They also talk about NVIDIA bringing DLSS and ray tracing to older games, but have they ever mentioned the fact that PSSR is rumored to have the same feature of being able to be implemented on older games, not that I can remember and definitely not in this video…

The whole thing reminded me of their comparison videos where if they can find even a single segment of the PS5 version that drops under 60 FPS you can bet your lifesavings they are going to show that clip in the first 60 seconds of the video, even if the game holds 60 fps in the other 99% of the game.

Then getting back to framerate they took a question about the Switch 2 where a user asked if it could have 4k 60fps DLSS. Which they say is unlikely unless they lower resolution. Which apparently they didn’t consider when they made their PS5 Pro video. After all, why would anyone think that the PS5 Pro would also be able to lower resolution and use things like DRS to maintain stable framerates on top of PSSR. It’s not like DRS and resolutions lower than 4k have been used in basically every game for the whole generation… guess it just slipped their minds, honest oversight I’m sure.

And I like how in all the fan comments they responded too, they only took one question from a PlayStation owner which they just made look ridiculous while taking just the most fawning xbox questions for most of the other 99% of the user feedback.

I’m sure the usual people will write off or get ****** at my opinion. But lots of people see them as extremely biased in their coverage, it’s not just my opinion. There is a reason so few PlayStation owners support them on their Patreon… as the saying goes where there is smoke there is *****. If so many people view them as biased there must be a reason they all think that.

I truly wish we could have someone that does the kind of coverage they do but was actually neutral, heck I would be happy if they just admitted their own bias… though I’m sure the money doesn’t allow them too.
