| Intrinsic said: No. I don't need anyone to be pro whatever it is that I am for me to listen to them or wouldn't dispute what someone says if they were true simply cause the person is speaking against a platform I support. What I do no like though, and what he does a lot of, is that he is always moving the posts. Things that he would make a big deal out of today tomorrow he would say they are irrelevant simply cause they are on a different platform. But that is even going too far, lets keep things simple. How can someone, that is one of the primary writers for a particular section in a site; that specializes in pixel counting and game tech analysis across platforms, then with a straight face then come out and say that the technical differences they have spent so much time analysing, that has given them so many hits, has suddenly become irrelevant? Don't you see something very wrong with that picture? |
@Bolded: To be frank, you are taking what the man said and conforming it to your opinion. Richard does not say that the technical difference are irrelevant. He says that todays titles have not shown the clear advantage that the GPU power of the PS4 has over the X1 outside of resolution (mostly). Here is a blurb from his final thoughts.
At this point it's safe to say that PS4's on-paper technical advantage has been proven beyond doubt by the lion's share of a year's worth of releases - but right now that's only in terms of technical metrics, where the relevance to the core experience shifts from one title to the next and often makes little difference to how enjoyable a game actually is to play. As things stand, both machines have proved the point that they are capable of producing beautiful visuals - now the challenge is to push on with new, innovative games. It'll take time but we've confident that we'll get there: with developers adjusting to the strengths of the new hardware, and last-gen support far less of a concern, hopefully we can see the gameplay revolution to match the impressive visuals the new consoles will continue to deliver.
Having both systems, I have to agree, I have not seen the separation between the PS4 and X1 but then again I expect to see something really significant hopefully next year.
