| thismeintiel said: LOL, this is hilarious. At first, they were trying to say that the Cloud would close the power gap. They were called out on it being BS, regardless of how fanboys just gobbled it up. Then, they decided to upclock the CPU and GPU, which barely did anything to close the gap. Of course, diehards gobbled that up, as well. Now, they're going to try and claim their SW programmers are going to close the gap? I'm guessing this being meaningless PR dribble is why his thread was locked on Gaf. On a positive note, this disproves the ridiculous dGPU rumor diehards have been trying to grasp at the last few days. It's time to get over it. The PS4 is ~40% more powerful than the Xbox One, and the GPU has performance gap of ~500Gflops. Regardless of what One fans wish to believe, that is no small amount and is something that will become more apparent a year or two from now. Heck, it's already becoming apparent in the fact that Forza 5, in order to achieve 60 fps and graphics on par with Drive Club, must have pre-baked lighting/shadowing, no daylight shifts or weather, and backgrounds that are relatively static. |
I will be waiting to see the 40% more powerful when it happens. I believe people keep forgetting its theoretical not actual. Meaning if the PS4 can run 100% then it should be 40 percent more juice than the X1. I guess its the ammo for the PS fanboys this gen, who knows. Later in the gen, maybey MS can show something with the cloud and the Xbox fanboys will bring out their weapon while the people who love to play games will be blissfully enjoying whatever console they got or all of them in my case.
Its interesting you bring up Driveclub and Forza 5. When all is said and done, no one cares what tech is being used within a game, they only care about how good the game looks and performs. Is there anywhere that says driveclub is actually running at 60fps now because last I checked this was something the developers were striving to accomplish but stated they may not achieve it

So before you go on about Driveclub actually running 60fps, you probably should find out if the devs actually achieved it. Here is a more recent link that says at gamercons Driveclub is running at a locked 30fps. SO I guess that pretty much throws out your claim there
