| d21lewis said: The PS4 is more powerful. That's a fact. Coming from the days where one version of a game would have less content, missing music tracks, smaller environments, missing cutscenes, etc, just saying "This version is MUCH better because it's a little sharper" seems a little petty. With Xbox One vs PS4, it's like the same experience, except with the sharpness setting turned down, most of the time. I'm not an expert but, on several occasions, I've gotten the same game on Xbox One and PS4. On a few occasions (or Tomb Raider 2013), I've gotten the same game on PS3, PS4, X360, AND Xbox One. I've played TLoU on PS3, PS4, and PS4 Pro. Shit gets blown out of proportion. |
It kinda depends on what the game was made on or for. For example Tlou, while it looks nice and sharp on ps4 and pro, it also looks unevenly detailed in places betraying that it was intended as a 720p game. In hindsight my mind colors in the ps3 version as better looking... Perhaps cause I played it first and going back to it now will be off putting, dunno. The ps4 version looked great as well but it still looked like a last gen game rendered above its target resolution.
What kind of game is important too. RE7 is heavily post processed with depth of field effects, the game isn't very sharp to begin with. The difference used to be bigger. Matching native display res at 1080 was like lifting a veil from the visuals. Nowadays most games are so heavily post processed that that veil never gets lifted. You'll need to go indie for that sharp clean 1080p feel. It's probably also why checkboard upscaling is working out so well.
If you're playing a fast racing game where you're concentrating at what's coming up in the distance than any bit of extra resolution and stability helps. Actually the size of the screen helps out most. Racing in PSVR >>> racing on projector > racing on tv.
I mostly prefer to play games on what they were made for. A Vita port to ps4 looks pretty basic and bare on TV. Playing a game intended for 720p tv on the 480p WiiU gamepad looks quite crowded or busy. So I'm quite anxious to see how Nintendo is going to pull off making games look great on both 720p handheld and 1080p tv. The difference will be less than between vita/gamepad and 1080p at least.
Anyway going to play more RE7 in what it wasn't really intended for, PSVR. 4th playthrough, mopping up the coins, files and bobbleheads now I have the x-ray glasses. Also not using any health packs or herbs this run, saving the steroids for when I occasionally do need a heal. Then one more run on madhouse to get the rest of the coins there. Just can't get enough of it in psvr, so yeah, ps4 does run the game far better :)
