I don't know how detractors have managed to control a debate to such a point that it no longer makes sense arguing, but it's happened. At this point, both sides are arguing whether you can see the 1080 vs 720 difference, whether fuzziness lends a more cinematic experience, and if too much AA makes things too hard to see.

It's all nonsense.

The argument was never about whether CoD had better shacks, or whether AC4 had "just the right amount of smoke", or if Lara's skin looked 'so lifelike'.

It was about the undeniable FACT of these differences within multiplats PROVES the massive power difference.

People would say, I don't see much of a difference in the resolutions. It doesn't matter what you think...it takes a massive amount of power to go from 720 to 1080. They would think that is a legitimate argument within the context of power! It's like every single new thread that pops up about this is addressing it from such a skewed perspective. And about multiplats no less, where console optimization is likely minimal at best.

Just because you don't think the visual fidelity looks much better, it doesn't mean the capabilities are equal! It doesn't mean that those little differences will be the only difference you'll ever see. Launch multiplat unoptimized ports showing PROVEN difference immediately should tell you that.

I am so tired of reading this garbage everyday. I just want these framerate threads to end. It's so incessant and mindless.

well i'll just leave it at that.

Yeah you are right, the power is clearly measurable. The PS4 is way more powerful and we have to spread this around the world! The more people that know about this the merrier, I'll start by telling my 6 year old brother and my dog!

Lol, my preconceptions about this thread was way off. After reading the title, I was all ready to come in here and type the same thing the OP said.

Why did you bother showing them side by side multiplat resolution comparisons in the first place?
I think youre also distorting my message.
Im not saying go out there and praise ps4. Im saying stop talking nonsense.
Jet li could not take bruce lee ot jackie vhan in a fight simply because they look similar.

Just once, I would like to see you reply in a way that isn't sarcastic.

As for not wanting to argue about it anymore, that was obvious @ people saying 720p > 1080p when Rubin talked of resolutions and stuff.

I dont think multiplat differences really proves anything. I mean, i believe the ps3 was the more powerful console of the last generation, but early multiplats obviously favored the 360. Same kind of issues like half the frame rate on ea sports games on the ps3 versus 360. Fast forward in time and multiplats released the last few years have been equal.

That being said, I definitely agree the ps4 is more powerful. There is also bigger difference in Power between the ps4 and the x1. I also believe that the ps4 will always maintain an edge in multiplat releases, but i also believe the gap will get smaller as time goes on. It wont be like last gen where they equalize, but it wont be as drastic a difference as developer tools get better.

I thought I'd make a similar thread to this.

So let's say the gap between the consoles in multiplat titles stays the same. Will there be numerous threads about every multiplat for the next 6 years?
 Who will get bored faster? Sony fans making these threads or X1 fans defending their box. Will threads like these succumb to self celebratory jerkfests for Sony fans or will they get bored of it eventually?

Jet Li couldn't take Bruce Lee in a fight mainly because Bruce Lee is dead.
