So many damage control in here, there is even someone defending EA, that's new hehe... people working in the said companies in here or seriously delusional 12y-olds! The day a PS4 or XO is as able as a high-end PC, unicorns will rain from the sky!
Even the best efforts on said consoles lack in resolution, framerate, textures, geometry & shaders/effects... stating otherwise is... Riiiiiiiiidge Raaaaaaaaacer at least!
What's more, is the said games are releasing next year when PC will be even more powerfull & said devs are well aware of the specs coming since they work with hardware devs daily, saying that a non evolutive platform (PS4/XO) will match next years GPU/CPU/Higher speed RAM is just mind bending, how anyone can drink that kind Kool-aid is really sad or deeply mis-informed!
What I don't undestand is the will/eager to eat corporate/PR lies so badly.
Have today's youth lost all critical thinking... I hate that herd thinking, meeeeeheeeheehee all in line sheep!!!
On the other hand developing this kind of graphic quality is expensive as hell & it's skyrocketing by the day, evening the output may be wiser, just don't feed us horse poo. I understand that making games for homogenous platforms is easier, furthermore when the most (not all) of the said gamers on that platforms are not as tech-savy as in the PC community & don't go looking inside game code like PC modders community to reveal devs bullsh*t!
As said before in here, the all graphics business model is a risky one, big budgeted games are often soul-less gambles & are taking a growing toll in the devs community (see Crytek). Maybe the model is flawed & pursuing high-end PC owners & graphic slaves is not the smartest business. But even there, just say so, don't GIMP PC versions so that consoles versions get a better perception!
