| Zekkyou said: I'd say this is a better video (still not great, i have a pretty strong dislike of using YT for graphics comparisons because of the compression, but it'll do): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w6YBre42g8 - The gap between them at 5m30s to 7m is particularly striking to me, and the difference in their foliage masses throughout the video is amusingly huge. Regardless, there's probably not much point in us continuing this discussion passed here. Your opinion is obviously set, as is mine. I would, however, suggest you try playing some PS4/X1 games (assuming you haven't). Until he got an X1, the OP shared your opinion. On that note-- OT: Glad to hear you're enjoying your X1, TheLastStarFighter ^^ If you haven't already you should pick up Sunset Overdrive. It's not exactly a technical marvel, but coupled with its art style i think it's one of the best looking titles on the X1. |
That's the biggest change this gen. Last gen You tube still flattered games with the compression by smearing over bad anti aliasing, ugly shadow edges etc, actually giving the illusion of extra detail in the compression artifacts. Plus looking at them in a smaller window always makes a 720p game look better.
This gen gameplay screenshots don't show how alive the world is and actually make the picture look worse due to the use of temporal anti aliasing, while you tube compresses away all the fine detail.
Last gen after watching a game on you tube it felt a bit underwhelming when playing for real on tv.
This gen it looks much better than on screenshots and you tube.
Anyway if driving through heavy rain at sunset in Driveclub doesn't make your jaw drop, then nothing will impress you.
