Theres no derail. Just because someone sees through something and it doesnt fit tour agenda. Ax unity is multiplatform. Sucker punch had far more time with ps4 than the unity team. Infamous had 25 Boca max onscreen. The op asked for Xbox one vs ps4. |
However, Ubisoft has way more people working for them and already released two huge games: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Watch Dogs. You don't have any evidence that Sucker Punch had "far more time" with the PS4 than the Unity team.
At the end of this day, this thread is talking about the PS4's tech, specifically on its ability to do GPGPU compute. The major takeaway from this thread is that while the PS4 and X1 APUs seem identical, they're actually very different from each other. As Intrinsic mentioned already, the PS4 can do signficantly more GPGPU instructions and has HUMA, something the X1 doesn't have. The PS4's GPU can bypass the L caches and directly access the GDDR5. The X1's APU, on the other hand, doesn't have HUMA and its CPU cannot directly access the esRAM. In constrast, the garlic and onion buses in the PS4 allows the GPU and CPU, respectively, directly access its memory pool. The point of the OP was to teach the ins and outs of the PS4 (and X1). Nothing more. Nothing less.
