The reason why the PS3 versions got docked because they had a bunch of technicality issues to the point that it affected gameplay. Anything below 30 fps is a huge "no-no" as well as conspicuous jaggies. This is a stark contrast to X1 vs. PS4 argument, here. While the X1 versions are within "playable" standards, the PS4 versions just run significantly better. Either they look much better or they run smoother. Sometimes, the difference goes beyond that. In COD: Ghosts, for example, the color pallette in the X1 version was horrendous. While the water was blue in the PS4 version, the water was green on the X1. In Battlefield 4, not only did the PS4 have higher resolution, but it had ambient occlusion while the X1 version did not have it. In Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes, not only did the PS4 have over twice the pixel density, it also had better weather effects and lighting. So while the X1 multiplats play within acceptable standards, there's a much better versions of the same games on the PS4 and why would people purposely deprive themselves of that luxury? |
First I like to say I am laughing at the fact you're ignoring the Bayonetta arguement because all of the talk about how people buy ps4 games more because of slightly better graphics is pretty much destoryed. And again if revewers see that the ps4 version is way better they would've rate higher. They would think the xbox one verson was gimped. That is why all the games I've list on the ps3 version was docked points. Also, the whole "rob yourself out of luxery" is pretty pointless because what about PC gaming? PC offers way better graphics, fps ,customization and more. If you really want the "superior multiplat game" than it's obvious you would get the pc version. But guess what, almost nobody in the real world cares about slighly better graphics between ps4/ xbox one. Almost nobody cares about superior multiplatform titles because if they do games like Bayonetta on the xbox 360 would've sold more and pc gaming would be more popular. The fact is most consumers just look at the game and think it is the same. Sony gets a way with a lot in the console world because of their brand name alone. Besides I rather invest my money on a console with great exclusives, great online infastructure that doesn't get hack or doesn't go offline all the time and knowing the company behind it won't go bankrupt anytime soon.
