Forums - Gaming - Are PlayStation multiplats being gimped for Xbone's sake?

http://insiderp.com/ps4-version-of-2-major-multiplats-downgraded.html

I was watching SONY's E3 conference last night and I was blown away by Uncharted 4's graphics. Then Naughty Dog confirmed that they were targetting 60 FPS (Which will probably come true) and it made me wonder where all this power was being used in multiplats. After all, the PS4 is no PS3. There should be no problems by any well-funded developer to harness the full extent of both next-gen consoles.

After seeing multiplats and comparing them with Uncharted 4, it seems to me that devs AREN'T using PS4's extra power.

I don't think it's a sinister reason like insiderp is letting us on to believe, but I feel that it has to do with the Xbone's inferior architecture. Devs are spending so much time optimizing for the Xbone that they don't have enough time to work on the PS4 versions. 

So once again, Microsoft is ruining it for the gamers. Xbone owners say competition is reason enough for Microsoft to remain in the industry, but bad competition is as bad as a monopoly.

It would be preferable if google replaced Microsoft.

Maybe it's because other developers aren't Naughty Dog?
It's not easy optimizing a game and using all available tricks to squeeze out the last bit of performance. Most studios aren't able to do so.

The fact that most multiplats look and run better on PS4 should actually answer your question that nobody is gimping anything.

Complete parity will make the playstation fans angry and will lead to boycotts.

A huge graphics gap will make Xbone owners angry and will lead t oboycotts.

The only way to win is to make the game with a marginal graphics edge on the PS4. Microsoft and its fans must leave the gaming industry for the benefit of all.



So, Driveclub is 30fps because Xbox One version is holding it back?

 

Also, you've reminded me that I haven't finished my Evil Walkthrough of Infamous: Second Son. Can't wait to boot up my Xbox One tonight



wasnt the uncharted trailer CG ? do you think the gameplay will be like thatXD



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

No I don't think they are.

Thats a bit drastic. While games could be a bit more optimised if there was no Xbone I don't think the difference would be that noticable, if at all. Naughty Dog are a super good developer, thats why U4 looks so amazing.

No it was confirmed in game by Naughty Dogs Lead Tech, but clearly its highest poly model for an ingame cutscene, 



when you have games like Forza and Halo on XB1 targetting 60fps/1080, and games like Driveclub on PS4 targetting 30fps, you'll realise not all games, not all devs ect are the same.

Using Naughty Dog (who are incredibly talented) as a bench mark for everyone else is silly.

Not only that but it's completely unproven anyway.



 

arent most microsoft exclusives targeting 1080p 60fps? consoles hold back pc multiplats alot, just look at watchdogs.
