Forums - Gaming - Is the graphic leap to 8th gen as noticeable as previous leaps?

 

6th-7th vs 7th-8th, how do they compare?

It's a much bigger leap 45 7.17%
 
It's a somewhat bigger leap 47 7.48%
 
It's a similar leap 119 18.95%
 
It's a somewhat smaller leap 202 32.17%
 
It's a much smaller leap 214 34.08%
 
Total:627

To be honest, it's difficult to say how far the leap has been with just few launch games shown and also when consumers have not experienced playing any final product/software yet on the console. I would play safe by saying the leap is just like what we had from PS2 to PS3 basically.

Dude calm down.  Nobody is saying Wii U is stronger or equal to PS4; it's just the margin between current top tier PS360 games and those shown for the PS4 announcement is not as pronounced as what the hype was is all.  Proof is on the eye of the beholder:


That has been said a lot recently when people try to undermine the PS4's leap. Personally the graphics shown exceeded my expectations.


um...do you think the real reason why it's been said a lot is because that's what it really is at the moment?  C'mon there is no conspiracy theory here the games just don't exactly put current PS360 top tier games out to pasteur.  I'm glad it exceeded your expectations though as it was a huge disappointment for me overall!!!

can you see much of a noticeable visual diffrence?

I think it'll be like Gamecube to original Wii leap to be honest.



when i read some peoples posts i wonder if they are serious or if they just try to say to themselve they see no difference. if you see no difference between a not so good looking cod blops 2 screenshot wit a resolution of 980x544 and a killzone screenshot in a resolution that game won't even have something is clearly wrong.

please look at both pics on your tv and increase the pics to the full size of your screen and tell me once more that you see no difference...

but hey, if you really see no difference congratulations, you can go back to a tv we owned before we got a hd tv! you get them for free nowadays^^



I tell you guys... the PS4 GPU have features to come to PC GPUs (pre-GCN2).

Its not about whether or not there is a graphical leap. The leap is there, whether you want to accept it or not.

However, whether that leap makes a noticeable and perceivable visual difference to the average gamer is a completely different question. And perhaps a more important one?

I don't know.

But what i do know is that when you look at a game like Killzone shadow fall and you compare it to Killzone 3 you are indeed looking at an approximate x8 the graphical improvement.

Now was Knack, Killzone: SF, Infamous, and the Drving game the best why to show off that x8 improvement over last gen? Probably not.

But that gap is there. How devs choose to use and show that gap is up to them. If naughty dog decide to make an Uncharted 4 with a game design structured the same as the previous Uncharted games..you will see a massive difference. But what if they decide to make it a much more open game? Then you probably won't.

There are little give and takes here and there. My main point is that the gap is there and its significant. Any bigger of a gap and it would be unfeasible to fit into a console. It would also be financially unfeasible to sell at a mass market price. Whether us gamers will be able to notice the massive difference will be up to developers and how they choose to use the power of the console. And as always beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Or something like that.

All we have right now is alpha code of PS4 games. Killzone is easily the most graphically impressive game shown at the meeting, and it will improve exponentially by the time it is released.


"Alpha" code? Better don't talk of things you are not firm with - if it was alpha-code you wouldn't see such graphics. Killzone is impressive but in no way "alpha"-code - this would mean it will release next year, simple as that. And what are you talking about exponential growth? Do you really want ppl to dig out this post when the game releases? Do you still believe it will do wonders to have 8 gb RAM instead of 4?

I can understand that you are hyped for PS4 and the new graphics but don't get too hyped unless you want to be a bit disappointed. Graphics will see a significant leap and will improve next years as the engines evolve and will use the hardware better but for 1st-gen-release titles don't expect wonders.

This game has been in development for years. Where did development start? On PC. Believe it or not, developing on final hardware will give them huge advantages like optimization. There are reports that this demo was made with only 1.5GB of RAM.

Before you comment any further, keep in mind that more RAM allows for higher-resolution textures, better animations, larger worlds...you name it. There is a reason developers are praising the PS4 and why 8GB of GDDR5 is a big deal.

Not a single person said there was no difference between generations.

What is being said is that this current jump is smaller than previous generational leaps.

 there are enough posts like "ohh which is cod and which killzone trololol" about the blops 2 and shadowfall pics.

and the difference is big between those pics, the cod pic would look even bad compared to other shooters of this gen and we talk about a comparison of this cod pic and a next gen killzone bullshot^^
