Wasn't PS3 being boasted for similar things?

In the end, because multiplats are the bulk of libraries, they will be made to tailer to Xbox and PS4, and they will be made as equal as possible.

Only exclusives can set them apart, but I suspect even then the graphics gap will be minimal.

Keep telling yourself that. Ps3 had a significantly worse GPU. Look at the graphical differences in exclusive games. Here there is a 50% power  difference. 50% I tell you.

Sorry but this is "teh cell" talk all over again.

On paper /= real application.

No..

The CELL was a faster and more capable CPU, while the RSX on the ps3 fell behind the GPU in the 360, PS3 had a better CPU, but a slightly worse GPU, making ps3 just a tad bit more powerful than the X360, but extreemely complicated to develop for as well because of the multiple shit in the CELL, and the split ram

this on the other hand is a signficant difference between one GPU and the other, and the PS4 has way faster ram

could the difference be equivalent to GC to Wii?

I still maintain cross platform games will look basically the same.


That's like saying that games perform the same on a 180$ graphics card as they do on a 300$ one.

There are lots of things added GPU power can be used for; higher resolution, framerate, AA, detail, shadowing, textures, effects... it's all up to the developer. Even if the game was made with XBox in mind and they look the same on a scaled down still image, they'll have a higher native resolution, better AA, less tearing and will perform smoother, things that granted not all, but a lot of gamers appreciate.

It's definitely not that big. I just don't developers will put that much effort into distinguishing between them

They obviously had to sacrifice some power in order to bundle a Kinect and still give it to us for a reasonable price. It's the same thing as with the Wii U to a degree.

It's funny though, because last gen the 360 was weaker and thus easier to develop for, and as a result multiplats were way better on the system. Is there a chance of the same thing happening again?

It's slightly bigger in he graphics department. Wii has about 38% more ''graphics power'' than Gamecube, PS4 according to the rumors has about 48% more than Xbox One.

And can people please stop calling it Xbox 1, because then you are reffering to the first Xbox. It's One!

Well that was obvious since we saw no tech demos and almost no actual gameplay.

Being weaker had nothing to do with it being easier to develop for.  That had to do with the difference in architecture and the exotic nature of the PS3's CPU design.

The architecture and internal design of the XO and the PS4 being very close, the very least that should happen is that the games themselves will be identical.  However, with the way many engines scale, it's possible that the PS4 version could end up being superior from a graphical standpoint, perhaps even with little extra effort.  It's going to depend on what the developers want.  If they decide to optimize a game for the PS4, it should be capable of more.  Unlike the PS3/360 situation, however, there is no reason why the PS4 version ever be worse, not unless it's just a total development screw-up, as with Bayonetta.

It seems that Gen 8 is a repeat of Gen 7. Wii U the weakest console in the graphics departement, Xbox One and PS4 close to each other, with PS3 and PS4 having more power than their respectful counterparts.

So PS4 vs Xbox One difference is around 50% in favor of PS4.

% difference between Xbox One vs Wii U? Wii U x 3 = Xbox One? more? less?

How big was the Wii vs Xbox360 difference?
