Forums - Gaming - Are the PS4 versions of multiplats really better??

Dr.Henry_Killinger on 06 August 2014

Long Story short.
The difference has always mattered. It is bigger than it has ever been before. And like Air even if you can't see it, its there.

Yes, can't argue with facts when multiple sources have confirmed this already.

In response to your first question... no. I'm saying that the ps4 is 50-100% more powerful.  And about the exclusives, yes, they look far better than xbox exclusives. And yes, if someone changes that settings on a game I'm playing on my PC, I very quickly notice the difference. 

Like I said, no one(or not anyone sane) is arguing that the XB1 is equal to or more powerful thatn the PS4 anymore.  The debate seems to be more in line with what the real differences are when actually playing a game.   Most multiplats at this point have very similar resolutions - 900p upscaled to 1080p/1080p vs 1080p.  The frame rates seem to vary a bit.  But, an upscaled 900p image while actually playing a game on a large screen tv and a 1080p image on the same screen while actually playing a game would be imperceptible.  I am not saying there isn't a difference.  I am saying that if you are actuallly playing a game, you can't possibly be looking at the graphical differences and still interact with the game(unless your hiding behind a bush or rock).  Sure, when you watch a gameplay viseo on line that compares the 2 you can study the differences because you are not interacting in the game.  A comparison to a PC that is more likely on a small 27" monitior or small doesn't really work, as you would have to stop gameplay to change the settings.


This is laughably moronic argument and flat false. Not to mention the difference often go beyond resolution (Like some games missing AO, worse shadows, more Alaising, screen tearing jump out)...... You can feel Frame differences, and you can see Resolution difference immedaitely unless you have eye sight issuies. Your thread is moronic.

Good of you to comment with a new account to avoid a banning.  Proves your point oh so well.



It is near the end of the end....

Destiny was the only game I played on both my X1 and PS4. On the same TV there was NO difference at all during game play. For me to see the difference I had to pause screens and really look. Yes the PS4 was crisper with a hint of more detail. BUT.. The Beta was 1080p on PS4 and 900p on X1. The release on X1 will be 1080p so that might make the minuscule difference even less.

The only thing I could say is that I enjoyed playing Destiny better on the X1 because of the controller. The X1 controller just felt better for me. That is purely a preference.

LOL Destiny is one game a last gen cross gen title where bungie aimed at parity, many games have double the res and frames on PS4..horrid example.

Can you show me these sources that can confirm that "multi plats are Better"?

I assume you mean the sources that I mentioned in the OP that prove that the framerates and resoltions are usually better on the PS4.

That fact is not in debate, nor should it be.  My point had more to do with how it really matters.

The original question is "Are the PS4 versions of multiplats really better?"

The answer is simply yes.

The much more hand wavy question that is being asked is, "Is it enough of a difference that it should matter which version of the game you buy?"

The answer is, it depends. If, in your situation, the only difference between buying the game on the ps4 or the xbox one was that the ps4 version is slightly better resolution (even if you don't have a tv that can render the difference), then you should still purchase it on the ps4. Because there would be a reason to, but no reason not to. If your choice is more complicated (say you have friends on a particular network, or you already own one of the consoles, or you're already knee deep in internet arguements and you don't want to hurt your ego, ect...), then you will have to weigh the pros and cons of choosing a version and decide what is best in your situation.

^

PS4 multiplats running better has been reported for game after game from so many different sources that at this point its become common knowledge that PS4 multiplats run better, you might get some that run the same, like wolfenstein, but your almost never gonna get a multiplat that runs better on X1.
