i find it quite hypocritical of people to downplay the differences in multiplats. Last gen we had fans and reviewers, point out superior xbox multiplats, and in many cases give them higher scores. touting is superior graphics and performance. Well that was usally 5-15% resolution advantage in favor of xbox 360. Now this gen. we have an incredible 50-110% resolution advantage, and we have fans and worst of all reviewers, downplaying the differences, saying you wont notice it. and definitely not giving higher scores to PS4 version, like they did with xbox 360. Now Im not calling Kowen a hypocrit because I dont know if he ever touted the 360's slight multiplat advantage, and im not about to start going through his post history to find out. but if he did, and for all the others that did, including reviewers, they are all hypicrits. the advantage is much bigger this gen than it was last gen, but now its downplayed. |
Well, the fact that Kowen felt the need to correct him (and no, Kowen, it had nothing to do with his English), showed that it annoyed him enough that someone actually suggested there was little, to no difference. So, it does make him a hypocrite to be belittling the differences between the PS4 and One, when they are larger than that of the 360 and PS3. And if there is no forced parity, the gap will get relatively larger.
I do agree, however, that the most ridiculous part is actual reviewers and gaming "journalists" can say with a straight face that it makes no difference. Or that you can't tell the difference. When they made sure to point it out when the 360 was on top.
