Very odd conclusion:


I just saw this in the video, what the hell is that?

That's pop in on the X1 version they seemed to overlook. I'm calling foul on this one. Oh well, another site struck off my 'to trust' list.

The never mentioned the lack of POM on the X1 version either:



 

The PS5 Exists.

Let's wait for more well made games maybe.



Looks to me like the xbox one version stalled for a while on loading the baked lightmap, a few seconds after the PS4 version stalled on loading the texture map, in the engine both resources are stored in the exact same way.

UE3 has always had these sorts of streaming issues, even on high end pcs without very specific hardware sets and driver versions.

With that in consideration its pretty obvious that both "next gen" console versions are shitty regardless, sub 30fps for this sort of game is a slap in the face of buyers.



Damn, must be biased.

Can someone explain to me why is it that when you pick three comparison points and 2 are won by one console , that console isn't the superior version?

Also why do screenshots from actual owners look better than DF analysis?

I just don't understand why would anyone defend and not question the article when there's clear inconsistencies.


DF  fanboyism is kinda sad.

they didnt even mention the AA and the pop-in on XBONE version

anyway this game looks horrible

I for one am not really ready to just jump up and call bias honestly. This seems more like just a poorly done/rushed assesment than all out favoritism.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

This is why I don't always take DF's verdicts as the best analysis of games.

Not necessary, everyone can make a mistake, rushed assesment on a game nobody cares.




Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

What's with that flag rendering slow as shit on the PS4? You sure that isn't the Xbone version with it's slower memory?

It's fixed by fully installing the game to your PS4 (which it seems DF didn't do).


So they did their entire comparison with the not loaded into the ps4? They loaded it into the x1 first, then after that was done did an on the fly comparison? Yeah, ok. That doesn't at all sound like a load of bs.



DF gave the nod to the bone? noo00 they are fanboys, throw out everything they ever said including all the favorable ps4 comparisons.

Some are sure picky with what they choose to support.

Exactly. If they can't be trusted here, then don't use their word for anything. Well said too talls.
