Are the PS4 versions of multiplats really better??

Odd question, and some odd responses. I think people are really kind of stretching here to avoid admitting the actual truth. The truth is, most multiplats perform better on the PS4, you can argue whether that's a major improvement or not to your hearts content, but that's delving deeper into the question than what is being asked.

Better, is better. Whether it's marginal, or monumental, is irrelevant.

1)Yes, better is better.  Only if better is what you were told and not what you experience.

2)I will go with a car analogy.  When discussing sports cars, many people may tell you that a Ferrari is "Better" than a Lamborghini.  Now, the people who say that can possibly come up with dozens of technical reasons to think so.  And, those reasons may be technically correct.  But, when you sit in the seat of both of them and drive around, you will not find those differences.  The reason is that unless your going fast enough in the right a=exact set of circumstances, the differences are imperceptible.

3)That was the real point of the OP.  That the actual differences while actually playing the more recent versions of the multiplats shows that the differences are not perceptible to the person playing the game.  Yes, digital foundry will tell you there is a difference, but they aren't playing the game.  they are just looking at it. 

1) No, better is better.  Period.  If you ask a question that can be measured and weighed quantifiably, there will be an answer.  

2) Poor analogy because if we're talking straight line there are more than a few Lambo's that can blow the doors off a Ferrari (Numerous models of both, allows for this), conversely, if we're talking track/course ability, Lambo has typically not been as agile as a Ferrari (though some of their newer vehicles challenge that trend).  The only way that analogy works or is comparable is if we were talking about Sony vs Microsoft.  Two different companies who offer similar but different things.

3) I'm certainly capable of noticing resolution and frame differences (as well as draw distances, lightning/shadow effects, particle effects etc...) in games, I also enjoy seeing engine tech demos and how they run, so who knows maybe I'm just more tuned into that.  However, your blanket statement that nobody notices, when clearly many people have noticed (nevermind Digital Foundry...they just put specific numbers to those differences), renders your point kind of moot.  Just because you don't notice them, doesn't mean they aren't there.  

Again, the question was "Are the PS4 versions of multiplats really better", since they're the same game, and we can only really compare how each console handles those games, the answer is yes, the PS4 versions of multiplats really are better.
