I have no clue of what all the numbers that are being thrown around mean. So I have a question for the tech-savvy: Assuming all the rumours are true, how big will the difference between Durango and PS4 be?

As small as 360 and PS3? Or something bigger like, say, PS1 and N64?

Unless I missed something... the only big difference was ram types.

Consoles went from being ram starved last gen to having... if anything, a little to much ram to the point of where you wonder what non next gen overlays and apps they're going to try and push.

Which means, if your looking for a difference in terms of graphical looks... you are probably going to be disapointed.

What you should be looking for is a differnce in "complexity".

 

To put in in RPG terms.   Instead of 8 Kobolds vs 8 Orcs.

 

Expect 8 Orcs vs 10 Orcs.   The orcs probably won't look any better... but the PS3 will be able to put more of them out.  So PS4 worlds will look the same, but will put out more realistic "alive" worlds.  (In the few exlusive games that use them) and are less likely to have framerate issues and pop ins by quite a bit.

I expected nothing to be honest, I was just curious. I heard something about 1.2 vs. 1.8 teraflops, apart from the famous GDDR5 ram, but that didn't tell me much.

Thanks.

LOL. i dont think Nintendo or the WiiU is gonna make it to the end of this generation. with this bad of a start, and no games intended to come this year but IP's and not any good ones either. PS4 and Xbox720 will take over in a number of months. i do understand why Nintendo went with a early annoucement and releae, but their stuck in the past and thats why their consoles wont sell unless they get new inmproved ideals.

I expect them to be identical graphical for 85% of games released for them. SONY's exclusives will look better than Microsoft's though. Not just because the system will be more powerful, but because the level of development talent within SONY's first party companies is higher imo.

You do know that the Wii is a lot more powerful than Ps2 and Wii U is more powerful than Ps3 and 360 right?

The difference will most likely be like this gen. Multiplats will most likely look the same, with maybe a few looking better on the PS4. The main point being PS4 will not get poor quality ports like the PS3 did in its first ~2 years. However, 1st party games are where the PS4's power will really shine.

I would say the difference would be compared to Ps2 and Gamecube, which is not a lot at all.

Probably identical for most games but the ps4 having exclusives that really stand out. I expect Naughty Dog's next-gen franchise to be something open world, where those 8 gigs of GDDR5 will be put to good use.

It'll be PC on medium sets vs PC on high sets.



superchunk on 08 May 2013

Same as PS360... virtually none. At least in the greater majority of games, i.e. multiplats.

First party you'll see PS4 with likely subtle areas where people will argue one is clearly superior to the other. But basically, the right answer will be that they are statistically identical.

No real difference they will be practically clones of each other.
