Are you serious? Minor differences? Did you really watch the comparo video or look at the pictures? It's night and day between the two.

I did, its not night and day.

The 7th gen version probably don't look much different either. Its not an impressive looking game, period.

That's odd. All I can figure is that the XO version wasn't ready for a retail release but they were able to rush together a digital release. The developers were probably given limited time and budget to finish.

Limited hardware as well when we compare with PS4.

If the PS4 can't run this at 60 fps, I fear the limitations of both consoles.

Fortunately, the real issue here is time and effort. But you already know that.

Sigh, this just shows how Xbox is never gonna win. They finally get the same 1080P as PS4 on a title, the same framerate too, and people just complain about all the other minor differences just as much.

And I watched vids and a twitch stream, the tearing is not nearly as bad as people act. Once again people overblowing any fault of Xbox. And "black crush" is just a gamma issue, and also another big "who cares not that big a deal" really. Except the usual warriors focusing on it.

 

Oh and of course, this game looks horrible. Lazy devs, remember that phrase that all PS3 titles that ran bad were blamed on instead of the hardware? Tons of games on X1 look better at 1080P and 30+ FPS. Hell tons of games on 360 look better than this game does on PS4 lol.

 

And for those saying "cant believe X1 struggles even on this crappy looking game" then uhh, you do realize PS4 doesn't maintain perfect 30 either on this crappy looking game. Why not?

Xbox crushed PS2 in all multiplats, 360 crushed PS3 in most, geez people, it's about time Sony finally got a turn after a decade of inferiority to Xbox. Why is it such a big deal?

Maybe if DF keeps making a big deal about it the black crush will be fixed for future titles (It seemed to be a problem with the xb1 scaler, but since this title is 1080p, why is there still a gamma adjustment resulting in lost detail) Having a v-sync option as standard would be welcome too.

It worked for KZ, people made a big deal about the screen tearing, v-sync option patched in. It also already worked for XB1, ugly sharpening filter in the upscaler is gone.

I'm amazed that Ultimate Spider-man actually looks better than this game. Get it together devs!



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

WiiU version looks almost the same. Do you think Xbone is limited in comparison to WiiU?

Even if it is, it's not the hardware that's failing here.

IIRC they also fixed the issue with black levels... But looking at the comparison video with WiiU PS4 also seemed to be way brighter.

Lazy devs do not exist when it comes to Microsoft and Nintendo consoles

You have to wonder what in hell happened during the development of the X1 version o.O


Targeting same performance as the PS4 without the equivalent hardware performance wise? Not that X1's at fault, but if all they could achieve on PS4 was an ugly gaùe, then don't expect much of the X1 version with weaker hardware but same target.
