He said the hardware is the hardware. The fact is that the PS4 is the more powerful hardware with a better overall GPU (more ROPs, shaders, TMUs, ACE's) and a faster single pool of RAM. It is physically impossible for developers to push more out of less hardware. The OS overhead can be reduced on both systems, but the PS4 is the easier system to work with so even the rate of improvement favours the PS4 (less time needed for developers to get it to run so more time can be spent optimising and trying out new techniques). |
I get the concept but what is the limit? theoretically from things I've heard the ps4's hardware stacks up better. I am no tech guy. I deal with a lot of software but call me ignorant when it comes to hardware. They list the products and the numbers and evereyone nods to the ps4, fine with me. The problem is when I see some 3rd party developers calling the gap small and similar. I can't quite imagine how far they can take this generation but in my eys I see parity with numbers looking better on one side. at the end of the day, I don't think I would have fun with a game were I manipulate an ever present "1080P" figure on my screen. my opressions are not clouded by the specs. If the ps4 starts to pull away in an obvious manner than in a few years when that happens I'll probably get my own to see for myseelf on my tv. for now and for a long time really it's been sames ville. from the xbox ps2 erra the games looked the same never so much better on either side that it would sway my interest. the differences was the exclusives. As time moved one the percentage of 3rd party devlopers grew and now dominates the market. titan fall is the only "exclusive" I'm interested out of all. right now my choice boils down to controllers and investments. I doubt the graphics ever differ to a level worth mentioning.
