(1)- This thread was started based on some unfounded rumors. Basically it's all but confirmed that the XB1 version is 900p with some further visual options lowered in order to meet 30fps. In that way, this thread should probably get a mod edit to the title and be locked, but perhaps they're waiting for the official article about it to come out. It's no mystery now, people can pixel count, and raw images from X1 show it to be ... ugly, but at least it's not 720p. (2)- MS has only been able to 'help' with games that are graphically weak anyway. Destiny = cross gen game started on gen7 consoles. Diablo 3 = don't make me laugh. 1080p for X1 is only reachable with undemanding titles. That's just the way it is. If Microsoft was able to get everything to 1080p, don't you think they would? Do I have to list all the X1 exclusives that aren't 1080p? Ryse, Dead Rising, Sunset Overdrive, etc. Oh, and then the absolute slew of multiplats. Just wait for Far Cry 4, COD:AW, Batman, Witcher 3, and Assassin's Creed, every single one of them will be sub-1080p on X1. What you have to accept is that 'doing their best' by the X1 is still going to result in a degraded product graphically. It doesn't mean the game won't be fun. For some people graphics don't make that much difference, while for others it really helps. As for 'there's not much difference between the 2 systems', that's just ridiculous. The hardware difference is rather substantial in terms of memory and graphics capability, and I'm not going to pollute the internet further by repeating it for the 53 billionth time. It amounts to roughly a 40-50% gap in horsepower, and guess what? That usually translates to 40-50% more pixels being pushed on more demanding PS4 multiplats. Big surprise, eh? If you, or anyone else doesn't think that matters, that's fine. Hell that's great. Have fun either way, that's what it's all about. But it can't be denied that it exists. If I had a 32" 720p TV, I wouldn't care. But I don't, I can easily see the difference between native 1080p, and upscaled content. BF4 PS4 looks ... kind of bad actually on a decent screen. I don't want anything to do with 900p, 792p, etc. PROVIDED there is an alternative. Sometimes there is, and sometimes there isn't. A good enough game is worth playing even if the graphics are a bit muddy and blurry, but it's even better when it's NOT degraded because of slower hardware. |
1. Launch titles and early titles for XB1 were handicapped by Kinect and old SKUs which isnt the case now.
2. MS only have so much man power and a budget to get these games running equal to PS4.
3. Ryse is still the best looking game on both next gen consoles. (has won awards to prove it)
4. Companies like this dont care and rather screw over a fanbase with cheap ports.
5. Theres not one game the PS4 can do that the XB1 cant do.
6. The fact you defend this by claiming the PS4 is still 50% more powerful then the XB1 when its been proven its 50% FASTER to develop for the PS4 then the XB1 which is why companies choose to make games on it rather then the XB1. (leaving half-assed ports)
7. The XB1 and PS4 have the same amount of memory (Ram)
8. Both GPUS are all off the same line and are both close to being identical (If i had to PCs running both GPUs, i wouldnt notice a differnce, maybe 5 frames just like D3)
9. MS have proven theres not much difference since Destiny isnt mindblowing but if the PS4 was 50% more powerful (lol) then Destiny would run at a smoother framerate not the same.
10. If both consoles had the right amount of time to make the games for them (XB1 having alittle more time in development) then you wont notice any difference.
11. The XB1 runs a faster CPU 1.75ghz vs 1.6ghz
12. I game on PC/Steam, i dont even like consoles.
