I think it makes perfect sense. He's saying that it isn't actually lagging, however because of the change in the system (from arcade to PC) it's going to feel different. I know Mauve said that he wasn't buying that, but it's literally comparing imputs from an arcade machine to a direct port. It's going to feel just slightly different because the hardware running it isn't the same.
Actually it's more apt to say I was simply saying it's psychological, you always bring your expectations with you when perceiving something.
i.e. I don't expect an arcade machine to lag, however I look for it on a PC, and thus notice it, even though they both lag. Thing is even after you test for it, and know it's not there, you can still perceive it. Human mind is crazy like that.
Reminds me of how people complain about my laggy plasma TV(it's not), but will play without complaint on the CRT I have actually proven lags until I show them otherwise, and then still insist the data must be wrong.
I'm more concerned that people think that's a "magic" explanation or something with this "I am a man of Science" stuff(Sorry, not intending to call you out or anything Mauve, you're being quite civil and I intend to return the favor).
I mean, if we insist on pretending to be pseudo-scientists here you could most assuredly conduct a double-blind trial and I'd bet get the expected results, expect this kind of test has already been conducted a million times, with the general conclusion that with the right circumstances, different people will perceive the same thing differently, and also most of the time, the same person can perceive the same thing differently on different occasions.
Which was really all I was claiming, don't see what's contentious about that.
That said, any new current code info? couple weeks away, I still have my pre-order in-place though I don't think I'm going to be able to afford to pay it off right at release.
