Both sizes? You mean sides?

Both sides and sizes... we have tall and small, fat and skinny on them =]

Missed your daily pro-MS secret sauces... were banned on that bet with ethomaz or just wanted a fresh air?

I was spending far too much time inside, so yeah.

Forum can be really time consuming... I hope that now that more is know about some you can navigate with less stress... or maybe with the games coming wont have much time...

I just keep my distance from depressing sites like N4G and NeoGaf.

Any N4G post (that is just on our homepage) I go right to the news (and hate to enter their page, when on the cellphone I have to load a extra page for everynew....) and don't go to GAF (seems it like to come here every now and then).

I haven't bought a game in a while and have no intentions of buying any of the next gen systems.

The fact that op got banned just sums up this site and the mods that run it.

Sony fans post shit like this 10 times before breakfast. I never see them getting bans.

Moderated,

Or just report... I got banned for things a lot lighter than this, and most of funs from both sides have as well.. sometimes people go overboard.

It's not the Xbox One, which is the problem per se, IT IS THE MICROSOFT, and their deceitful, sinister, bullying plans! Let me give a few examples:

 

They don't know how to design hardware

Original Xbox is the largest console to date. Just plain ugly.

Xbox 360 has this ginormous power brick. I have never seen any other console with an external power brick in my life and MS did it.

Xbox One is bulkier, heavier, weaker and more expensive than PS4. It's not only ugly but also comes with, you know, a huge power brick!

 

Another reason why MS don't give a shit about consumers. They could easily drop the price to $399 and easily be competitive in the US (not so much in the rest of the world). But no, they want to exploit the Xbox fans first.

Their despicable gaming policies and hideous 180 turns etc are among many other reasons why we hate MS and their unwanted off spring Xbone.

 

Ok, let me count a bit more...

They have this hideous Graphical UI, Direct 3D (and DirectX in general), you know... Why do they still have it, instead of adopting the Open GL, like everybody else? No, they have to own the propriatory API so that they can blackmail people to do everything their way. DirectX 10 is available only for Vista and later, so that they can push people to the newer releases. This is also why DirectX 11.2 is only available to Windows 8. Likewise newer versions of Internet Explorer and Sky Drive or many other MS software is only available for Vista or later.

 

They do not only want to manage everything you do, their way they want you to do, but also they want you to be their slave and keep feeding them with every other new windows release. Sony has no such agenda. Yes, they wanna capitalize on music, video, games etc business as well, but you are never forced to do, there are many other alternatives. They are not in a position to harness forced network effects with a PC ecosystem.


Lol nice opinions

Umm every site, person that has PLAYED each version states'THE PS4 version is clearly superior". It is NOT an assumption that PS4 games will also improve, it is not a microsoft only thing. The hardware is the hardware, there is a gap in power, notihng you say changes that. Games look vastly diff in motion then random stills of specific spots.

 

Also ONLy resolution? Resolutoon alone can be a big difference, 1080P versus 720P is near twice the pixels , detail and real estate to render.

I would rather go from what I've seen than selective opinions and I doubt all that played said that. Pretty sure at least 1 I have seen said you couldn't tell the diff, as for me I took the time to download high deff photage to form my own opinion. The key is how visuals are percieved os always a person to person opinion.

You are assuming the speed of improvment will be simoultaneous. That is a niave way of thinking about it. Either side could be quicker about it. 

He said the hardware is the hardware. The fact is that the PS4 is the more powerful hardware with a better overall GPU (more ROPs, shaders, TMUs, ACE's) and a faster single pool of RAM. It is physically impossible for developers to push more out of less hardware.

The OS overhead can be reduced on both systems, but the PS4 is the easier system to work with so even the rate of improvement favours the PS4 (less time needed for developers to get it to run so more time can be spent optimising and trying out new techniques). 


I get the concept but what is the limit? theoretically from things I've heard the ps4's hardware stacks up better. I am no tech guy. I deal with a lot of software but call me ignorant when it comes to hardware. They list the products and the numbers and evereyone nods to the ps4, fine with me. The problem is when I see some 3rd party developers calling the gap small and similar. I can't quite imagine how far they can take this generation but in my eys I see parity with numbers looking better on one side. at the end of the day, I don't think I would have fun with a game were I manipulate an ever present "1080P" figure on my screen. my opressions are not clouded by the specs. If the ps4 starts to pull away in an obvious manner than in a few years when that happens I'll probably get my own to see for myseelf on my tv. for now and for a long time really it's been sames ville. from the xbox ps2 erra the games looked the same never so much better on either side that it would sway my interest. the differences was the exclusives. As time moved one the percentage of 3rd party devlopers grew and now dominates the market. titan fall is the only "exclusive" I'm interested out of all. right now my choice boils down to controllers and investments. I doubt the graphics ever differ to a level worth mentioning.

They already are at different level worth mentioning (just see all the talk about 720P versis 1080p, the gap was never this big before), and numerous devs have said the PS4 is a lot more powerfull. Others have taken the PR rpute. it is obvious, again, hardware is hardware, and now we are seeing nearly double the resolution on PS4 then x1.....the proof is in the pudding. You can keep denying all you want, won't change the facts.


Not denying one is 720 and one is 1080 no.

with my own eyes however, those numbers don't show.

I don't take dictation well so I won't accept oninons of anyone on the matter but I well respect everyone's right to have one.

But I'll be damned if I become a sheep and believe something because somebody says so, even if it's the majority. I've never been that way, never will.

The only good thing I got from this thread is a Nsanity post. Haven't seen you in a while and I miss your threads.
Just wish you could continue with your threads but for now I'm just glad you rejoined the community.

That's because they don't start their threads with "Hey guys, I'm feeling bitter, so I'll be posting troll threads shortly."
