They run them fine, one just runs them better then the other......dumb thread sorry. If you want graphics like PC, consoles would be 800 bucks.

Since when is running 1080p and averaging 50 fps not being able to handle a game?

 

There is no DEBATE x1 is significantly weaker, and tomb raider is not a last year game it has major enhancements like treessfx that are very demanding. please. nonsense.

 

The x1 might have an issue but ps4 doesn;t


Amazing how when the X1 is worse at something, no matter how small, its a huge deal, but when PS4 can't do 1080p at 60fps -  which I think EVERYBODY expected to be the standard for next gen on all systems at all times, being as we are moving into a 4K situation over the next 5-7 years, starting right now - then suddenly you don't care and handwave the discrepancy.

If you care enough about graphics to moan about res drops to 900p during some cut scenes on Xbox 1, why don't you care enough about them to wonder why the PS4, supposedly so advanced, can't play a year old PC game at HD standard 1080p/60fps? It certainly doesn't bode well for the future.

4K is going to have a tipping point soon and the facts are clear already that neither of these two new home consoles can pump 4K polygons. Maybe 4K video playback. But never games. Which effectively makes them NOT future proof. Which makes their existence seem odd. Another year before launch with beefier specs will start to look like the right choice in retrospect, I have a feeling.

Because it isn't last year's game. Look I just went over to IGN's site where they posted a suposedly powerful PC build for Steam OS and their $1400 PC build could only achieve an average of 30-45 fps (GTX 770 and GTX 780 Ti respectively) on last year's Tomb Raider at max settings at 1080p and that version is missing many of the updated effects found in the Definative Edition.  Granted I would have built it a little different than they did but still $1400 and struggling to reach 60 fps as well. Which is what happened on my rig when I played it, but mine is a bit older.

I am not saying that these consoles are more powerful than a high end PC but for the price they are very much in line with what a "next-gen" console ought to be.
