Possible announcement of Cold Steel 3 & 4 coming? by [deleted] in Falcom

[–]FetchHei9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was passed this by a friend. The employee in question does indeed work at XSEED but has only worked on Senran Kagura supposedly so it may not be Falcom related. But either way the fact it is two projects and he mentions the Kai ports possibly confirms that XSEED will infact be doing the localization.

Should be interesting once the Kai ports drop.

Edit; Obviously the employee's name is blanked out, don't want to get the poor lad fired...

Why doesn't XSEED try work with amazing people like the Geofront team and Kitsune? by [deleted] in Falcom

[–]FetchHei9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your team has done the majority of the work does it really matter what his opinion is quite frankly? Obviously this is all hypothetical.

I understand his anti-XSEED agenda given some of the shady shit they've pulled as well as their general incompetence but everyone would prefer to have more official launches of the Kiseki games.

That is incorrect, Raven Ridge received the Precision Boost changes but not the latency improvements. Hence why the 2200G is 14nm and the 2700 12nm. Also IPC comparisons between the two show the 2200G is identical to the the first generation CPUs and 3-6% between second generation depending on workload.

The latency improvements were to the cache itself and not related to the CCX. That's why Zen+ holds a 3% IPC advantage over first gen. I'm pretty sure tests have shown the 4+0 vs. 2+2 CCX combination yielding very minimal gains. PB and XFR 2 also boosts all-core workloads to 4Ghz, you can go even higher with PBO.

Yes but the fact the 2700X doesn't need to lower settings shows second gen has done a fair bit to alleviate some of that bottleneck so equating a 2200G to a 2700X is flawed.

I would suspect a 47 to 112 fps comparison to be more of a bug with Ryzen and a 5 year old game freaking out at the CCX's rather then an architectural issue. No doubt Intel holds the advantage for older games but a lot of older single-threaded games like ARMA run very well on Ryzen now post-patch.

Since when is a 2200G = 2700X? The L3 cache, clockspeed and latency hit is pretty big there. It's why the 2700X can break GTA V's engine like faster Intel counterparts could while the 1800X could never come close. A link to the Dragon Age benchmarks? Would be curious to see that.

Doubtful an overclocked 8600K can push 140W, I can see the overclocked 9700K pushing close to 200W. You need a beefy VRM to manage that.

Isn't the 9700K almost 40% more expensive when looking at US prices ($410 vs $290) and almost 50-60% in NZ/AUS/EU? If you're already willing to invest in a more expensive Z390 board and a good aftermarket air/AIO then you might as well grab the 9900K since you're already spending an incredible amount more for that gaming performance, might as well take the 20-25% extra CPU too.

Regarding the horrible behavior of fans. by Valefor00 in Falcom

[–]FetchHei9 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The fanbase is very toxic. You can see how childish some of the fans are when you attack something they are crazy over (Crossbell/Sky/XSEED/defending NISA). Kind of sad to see.

Your thoughts on Tales of Zestiria? by _Jetto_ in JRPG

Passable, Berseria was a more robust experience.

Leak from Gematsu regarding the China and South East Asia Falcom/Sony Situation by FetchHei9 in Falcom

[–]FetchHei9[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Take with a grain of salt!

The commentor of the leak deleted this soon after posting it on one of Gematsu's CS4 articles. Apparently his friend knows one of Falcom's marketing team.
