Good you included that bit.    Because you went from EU4 performs 40% better on Nvidea when compared to AMD to '500Tflops AMD equels 800Tflops Nvidea in UE4'.

Also, I have never encountered a Terraflop.  It's only one metric to meassure performance, one of many.  Kind of like back in the day Sony, MS and Nintendo would all put forward how many polygons their new machines would be able to push.  Those were the days.  At least a polygon (when textured) is something you can see as a gamer.

What does somewhere between a PS3 and 4 even mean?

PS3.5 obviously.

So I commented on how good Yooka Laylee looks and plays on youtube, and I get the reply "Sorry, but Ratchet & Clank looks way better than this". Ugh.....I hate people.

Yes, Battleborn flopped, but 2K vows to stick with it   eurogamer.net

Good to hear, as me and my friend just bought it in the Humble bundle to play together online.

Is this a sequel to Sword of the Berserk? Looks like the same guy...

Gameblog NX story said:

You have probably read here and there that the Nintendo NX  would have a power between the PS3 and the PS4. Our sources try to clarify this information.

By comparison, our sources have confirmed that current PS4 games can work on Nintendo NX. Port tests have also been successfully undertaken. On the other hand, ports would require special optimization because the general architecture of the NX would be different from the PS4 and Xbox One.

The talent and the means deployed by the developers will make the difference.

Beyond performance, our sources have also told us that the NX would have a chip dedicated to virtual reality and augmented reality. It remains to be seen how Nintendo will use it. The VR resources would be quite separate from the rest which would make technical comparisons with consoles from Microsoft and Sony more complex.

They are trying to correct Wii U's technical errors.

Our sources also stated that the latest versions of Unreal Engine and Unity Engine engines runs well on Nintendo NX. Note that Unreal Engine 4 was not supported by the Wii U.

Another good sign, it was confirmed that the NX would be a machine infinitely more accessible and better prepared technologically than was the Wii U. Many errors committed at the time have not been repeated. There's a better integration of Visual Studio (developer tool), a documentation and a debugger - in full. A real step forward as they were considered pretty catastrophic on Wii U.

In parallel with all this, it was also pointed out that Nintendo would still be extremely protective and have not yet revealed the final architecture of the machine. Some elements could yet evolve. (is this about the surprise/gimmick?)

A decidedly different machine... and interesting

Most of the sources that we have contacted have specified we need to be very vigilant comparing the power of the various machines. The specifics of the architectures can vary significantly from the way raw power is taken into account. Now more that ever, Nintendo will take a different path.

Overall from all the clutter that we collected The feedback from people in contact with the first dev kits is unanimous, the feeling is especially positive. Yes, the Nintendo NX will be different from its competitors. Yes, it is interesting.

Now when will it be revealed? Probably in September around the Tokyo Game Show, as noted by us for several months. But beware, the plans can still evolve in one way or another. For the record, we had recently revealed to you that initially, the machine should have come out in November 2016... until Nintendo reviewed its plans, there are a few months to go.

Welcome to every GAF thread when anyone dares to be impressed by any platformers, or cute looking games graphics.

Both games are based on the Bersek Manga, which now has two anime series and 3 movies.

What can you find out about the chipset inside the Scorpio? Or the new GTX Titan?

There's been lots of info about Scorpio already posted by me from Eurogamer and Digital Foundry, Neo has been detailed already very specifically. I don't care about PC. Most of this NX stuff is all just fun rumours. Part of the reason its fun to read about Nintendo machines is because Nintendo do not reveal jackshit and so the community goes on a wild rollercoaster ride of speculation. Translating italian Eurogamers random comment for instance.

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles 2.

You don't care about Playstation or Xbox either though...so why hate on the PC?

Because you like it.

Seriously I post specs and tech info on Neo and Scorpio. I even post a few PC GPU reviews when I see them. But PCs, there are so many different cards, all being refreshed all the time. How can anyone keep track of them? Maybe if you're into PC and know about these things sure. I'm not, so when random PC cards come out, I don't know what I'm looking at.

Do you have some problem with me posting NX rumours?
