“Every sub on Reddit is like a HS drama fest” is too true. I’m not interested in the drama. What I’m interested in is the fact that Mr Threat Interactive has admitted to not knowing what the fuck he was talking about regarding anything related to graphics and engine design a year ago, put out a video titled “graphics are being murdered” just a few months after, and now thinks the entire industry is out to get him after being put in his place by people who do actually have experience in this niche field because he thinks his facebook boomer tier research is just as good as their experience. This guy is the anti vax of video games.
Digital Foundry are nowhere near any better than TI, if that is your implication. If you think TI doesn’t know what they’re talking about, then youre in for a world of pain learning what DF doesnt know. In their early years, like pre- RTX 20XX GPU release, they were pretty good. Seemed knowledgable. But now its pretty clear they get paid to shill products instead of talk about actual problems. I mean, they are owned by IGN now.
DF loves to talk about DLSS and TAA being good for gaming (LOL) and then they show video clips and its all just CyberPunk 2077 with little to no camera movement. Curated clips to specifically NOT showcase most of the problems of TAA and DLSS. TAA and DLSS specifically suffer with mdeium to fast camera movement, and they should show clips of this to demonstrate any “improvement.” However, this would be damaging to their business partners, so they will never do that.
DF compared Anthem on PS4 and Xbox One X, complaining that the Xbox version ran at a lower framerate, except they failed to mention (probably because they didnt know) that the PS4 version runs at 1080p and the Xbox version runs at 4K.
They have often shown “gameplay” footage of a specific platform, and then the footage literally shows input prompts for a completely different platform. (Darksiders III “Switch” gameplay showing PlayStation Circle button prompts, for example).
They actually said the phrase “smooth 30fps.” I am not kidding. Nothing about 30fps is smooth unless you are comparing it to a framerate below 30fps.
Whether you like or don’t like Threat Interactive, I don’t care. I dont really like his attitude, personally. But Digital Foundry is worse, and everyone should unsubscribe from them.
Please, Unsubscribe from Threat Interactive.

Digital Foundry puts out videos that contain entirely wrong information. Like when Digital Foundry said that RedOut on Xbox One X only runs at a fixed 1080p resolution, which was so wrong the actual developers of the game actually had to tell Digital Foundry how wrong they are.
They are the UserBenchmark of TechTubers.
