Forums - Gaming Discussion - Microsoft seems to be forcing developers to downgrade the ps4 visuals to match xbox one games through parity clause.

Ps4 is lead console for allmost all games. So xbone1 games will be down graded because the weaker gpu inx1

Let me know when some concrete evidence of this shows up because at this point it's all speculation.

One of the launch games had a post-release patch that made the PS4 version 1080p but unpatched version was artificially at the same resolution setting as the XBO version. I don't remember if that was Ghosts or something else.


That is evidence of a game getting rushed to meet a launch date, not forced graphics parity...

They've said there aiming for parity. Aiming would imply trying to improve one side to match the other. It also says they want parity across ALL platforms. That includes PC, 360, PS3 and if previous CODs are anything to go by maybe even the Wii U. Unless all of those are holding the game back as well?

7th gen consoles holding back current gen is actually occurring. Just look at games like Wolfenstein, Ghosts, AC, and Watch Dogs. This argument is actually plausible.

Meh, I'm sure it'll end up performing better on PS4 anyway.

I have to say though that, so far, the most impressive games have been from Sony 1st party studios. They are more interested to push things graphically, it seems. GZ also surprised me, it looked amazing despite being cross-gen.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Until it becomes a frequent issue, "parity" can be credited more to developer laziness than any interference from MS. If COD hits it then it will certainly be suspicious, but still not quite a large enough sample pool to shout foul. If it becomes a frequent occurrences then sure, shit is going down in the background.


Until then, conspiracy a-hoy!

Funny, I didn't see the MS requiring parity in graphics thing anywhere in the linked article... Yet here it is, in the title as well as the first post itself. Mind you, I didn't read the linked article as well as I should've but all I noticed was some speculation about whether this could be becoming a trend. Correct me if the original article did say something about MS though.

At the end of the article.  

TL;DR: The early first gen releases for the Xbox One and PS4 showed that the PS4 could handle higher frame-rates or resolutions in multiplatform games. If forced parity starts coming into play, then it may lose those advantages.

 

I'm pretty sure that this is all theory.  

That's still stretching and speculation, not anything one could classify as a rumor. The OP basically just made up this so-called rumor.

Correct. The "article" holds no weight. There's nothing to back up these statement except the authors speculation. It anything, there is more evidence showing this claim to be false considering damn near every multiplat runs better on the Ps4 lol 



Never going to happen.
This is paranoia. Relax. PS4 will always have the graphically superior multiplats in the majority of cases.
