| Vena said: I understand the details, you don't need to list them out to me. As for the quoted: yes, this was my point. They built the game on the lowest common denominator. But, as I said listen to the bombcast, there is some ambiguity if, in fact, even the PS4 is capable of more than what Unity can produce. The bombcast went into this, into the insider dev info and into a test-against-experts. There is a real issue here that, simply put, optimizing for GPGPU may not have been able to fix or would have cost too much to offload onto the GPU for some or other inefficient process. Like I said, zero-sum game but we, as armchair developers, do not know what the sum involves. |
Personally, I think that is just impossible. And mainly for two reasons. One and as I keep saying... the XB1 version of the game s running at 900p@30fps. Even if devs do not take advantage of the PS4 power gap it doesn't change the fact that the gap is still there. If 900p@30fps was the best they could accomplish on the XB1, if chnneling the same effort there is no doubt in my mind that they could achieve beter on the PS4. This is not about more difficult or putting in extra work. Its a perfomance gain that you pretty much get by default. I don't know why almost a year after these consoles were released there are some that still talk about or even doubt this fact. Another way to look at this, is that there is not one single metric by which the XB1 is equally as powerful as the PS4. This is code we are talking about here. Better hardware should run code better. The only way the XB1 is arguably better than the PS4 is in terms of there 1.75ghz CPU clock as opposed to the 1.65ghz clock on the PS4. But even that does not make the XB1 have a more powerful CPu than the Ps4 (long story).
And secondly.... never in the history of gaming has the potential of any generation of consoles been maxed out within the first year of release. Just wait till next year when yu see AC6 running and looking better than AC5. Even on the XB1. Then I would really like to see all those that think somehow the XB1/PS4 cannot do better than this.
