Are you saying Guirella Games all of a sudden arent good at graphics? On a console 50% more powerful ( according to certain people ) and easier to develop and optimize Guirella Games still couldnt achieve the best visuals. So what does that mean? Or are you gonna throw the linear comment making last generaion linear Uncharted, TLOU, Heavy Rain etc all firmly in the mud in terms of visuals?

From someone who spend a lot of time bashing PS4 and saying how much he is enjoying his Xbox One where do you find the time to really enjoy your Xbox One???

Haha. So true. A new console with all those new games to play and it seems he has never been busier on this site. Maybe he is bored already.

All this is kinda irrelevant to the topic at hand.

What does Ryse graphics or Killzone graphics have to do with this?


It doesnt its FUD to try and sideline the negative X1 Topic

Actually if you read the thread its not.

Unfortunately youll have to read from post 1.

The topics about the cost of the consoles, you were the first to come in (Post 4) and derail it and start talking about Ryse.

Its a different architecture. In the right hands things like Ryse happen. In the wrong hands things like Ghosts happen.

First parties will blow 3rd parties away on Xbox One. Just watch.


Just to clarify, you think first parties will make Xbox One exclusives look better than Uncharted on PS4?

How is that possible? It's weaker hardware than the PS4...Shouldn't it cost less?

Yeah did people not know that Ryse has best launch graphics on a harder to develop for machine with 50% less power?


That has nothing to do with the Xbox One hardware. It's a Crytek game, all they know how to do is graphics. There is no denying that the hardware in the Xbox One is less powerful, to insinuate otherwise is foolish.

No, it's just that other developers focus on other things. Like gameplay, which crytek is notoriously crappy at. It's also silly to suggest that scale has no effect of graphics. I'm trying to discredit how Ryse looks. there is nothing wrong with a game looking great because it's linear. All three of those games you mentioned looked so good partly because they were linear games, no doubt about it. But lets be honest here, the specs are the specs. The PS4 has more powerful hardware no matter which way you look at it. It will probably take a couple of years to see the full difference (unless ND and there new talent speeds things up) but it's there.

Please, take off the goggles every now and again and these discussions  wouldn't even need to happen.

Lets get this out there. Firstly I dont believe the PS4 is 50% more powerful. I also believe the Xbox one as power but locked in in a different attainable way. Hence the more difficult to program for comments from devs.

All last gen PS3 gamers would to no end use linear titles as evidence of power. When Microsoft really only threw some money at visuals towrards the end of the gen. Look what 343i achieved in a open game with Halo 4. Really showing there was nothing in the hardware between PS3 and 360. Even though graphs and figures at the beginning of that gen would show PS3 in raw power the cell was said to be 200% more powerful in flops over Xenon. Microsoft said then the figures wont tell the story. And they were proved right.

This gen its happening again. But slightly different. Microsoft this time have the more different hardware approach. Theres more little processors on the die. Theres differences all over. IW already said Microsofts dve software wasnt up to speed yet the same as Sony's. So that will actually help alot in development of their next Xbox One game.

This power 50% rubbish is all talk. At least until we are in year 2 or 3 and then if PS4 is destroying Xbox One with graphics then fine. But I highly doubt that based on previous generations where x Sony console is said to be y% more powerful for that to turn out in realtime to be horsesh*t

Yes in relevance to why the cost is higher in making/designing the chip. Its not about raw power. Microsoft went a different route. They have things on the processor PS4 doesnt. They take computations away from the processor that PS4 has to process on the proccessor.

Ryse proves as current graphics king that Microsoft werent talking BS to at least a certain degree. I believe the decision to do hardware different is the reason for the cost.

Im at work. ROFL. hahahahaha.

In other words PS4 will always be cheaper, at least until MS make Kinect optional.

Not a guarantee. It also depends on how competitive Sony attempts to be with their price.

For example, maybe the X1 will be $400 with Kinect in a year. If PS4 sales are strong, they may not feel the need for a price cut. Profits are kinda important to Sony at the moment.

That kind of puts MS in a tough spot doesn't it? With a $100 price cut they would still be at the same price point as the PS4. Based on the information in the OP XOne with Kinect will always be more expensive to build than a PS4, so if they even need to really undercut Sony in price they would have to release a XOne without Kinect.

Yeah, Kinect is a pricey peripheral.

Maybe to get Kinect in more homes they will sacrifice profits. I mean break even, not take a big hit for Kinect. Its a very cool piece of technology and it distinguishes them from the competition.

Yes. I thought as Digital Foundry did that Halo 4 was visually in the same ballpark as Uncharted 3. Crysis 3 on 360 beat Uncharted 3 visually. TLOU got more praise for graphics than Uncharted 3. But I thought it looked worse than UC3.

Havent seen Black Tusk Studios yet, they should be good. Remedy can and 343i definately can. 343i is basically devs from Naughty Dog, Crytek, old Bingie and Epic. Like a master race of developers from top studios. Hence why Halo 4 looked so good.



It's funny that this selnor guy is trying to distract everyone from the topic.

Xbox One was clearly rushed. I can't see its price going down in the foreseeable future with the losses it's taking. Even I don't see how it's going to fare without Kinect. It'll be seen as an overpriced hardware that has no real advantage over PS4.

From day one Nintendo said that they will be at a loss for each console and selling one game would make up for that.  Why do I know this?  Because everybody made a big deal about it seeing as Nintendo ALWAYS profits on their consoles imediately and one reason they were able to even make Gamecube a success.  So no they never said that. oh and the fact Nintendo announced it themselves.  So did they say the same thing?

This is in october 2012, before WiiU released. http://mynintendonews.com/2012/10/24/wii-u-will-be-sold-at-a-loss/


Yes they did say close to the same thing. English comp would help extremly here. And as it turned out Nintendo was wrong. Ontop of which, you dont know what MS is including. They could be including gold subscriptions, a game and a controller
