OT: I wish people that actually worked on consoles would stop offering commentary. These forums are a lot more fun when its 90% wish and a prayer and 10% logic-based contemplation rather than the other way around.

Yeah that's right.  It is on a wish and a prayer that people say that PS4 is more powerful.

Ok

I think you misunderstood me

I was just commenting on the fact that the first two posts in this thread indicated the developer (who has worked on both consoles) is a liar - without providing any credentials of their own. Unfortunately, such behaviour has become par over the last few months.

My opinion is tha the PS4 has a power differential that amounts to a marginal performance advantage when applied in the real world, and I take that as a given.

Well, the fact is he is a liar.  Granted he is only doing it to either not piss off XBO fans, so they will also buy his game, or just so people will click the article and find out more about his game.  Either way, we have the cold hard facts in the specs.  The PS4 is quite a bit more powerful than the XBO, ~1.4x as much when looking at just the GPU.  Of course, we'll see the true potential in a year or two, when the PS4 leaves the XBO in its dust graphics-wise.

And personally, I always find it quite amusing that those who latch onto this "PS4 is barely more powerful" BS, love to take the word of multiplat indie devs whose games barely use the power of either system, but ignore the real world results when it comes to 1st and 3rd party games.
