As far as I know you always been negative about any game for Xbox I'm not really surprised by your review lol

My review? I didn't make a review... each word come from the article.

BTW you can read the conclusion/veredict.

It's undeniably a PC victory in theory though, provided you have powerhouse hardware to support its max settings - allowing for a taxing super-sampling option to solve its aliasing issues. However, the PS4 remains the best bang-for-buck version out right now. While broadly a match for Xbox One, its full 1080p resolution, higher shadow quality and increased foliage density barely put a dent in its v-synced 30fps performance. The Xbox One release is a solid 30fps too in matching frame-rate tests but the added visual treats on Sony's platform make this an easy one to call between the two.

You meant resources. 

That's just pedantic. If they had to allocate Kinect resourses then clearly they had Kinect features they were going to use but now they're not.

Edit: OK, I'll concede that there IS a scenario in which the Kinect resources were not available even if they never included Kinect features. I could be wrong then. MS will not want developers to tell people about Kinect features and then have to advise them to remove those features for performance. It sounds much better just to say you are 'allocating resources'. But the fact MS won't want this to happen means Kinect won't get promoted and therefore becomes redundant.

The XB1 is having to cut features in order to get within reach of the PS4 and we're only on 1st generation games. That is not a good sign for 2nd and 3rd generation games.


Which? 

Don't listen to them... this is all due to lack of optimization on the XB1 version by the probably very very lazy devs. 

The two versions like every multiplatform game are identical, and what isn't is not important at all.

I know, I have always thought people make to much of a fuss when the difference is in a shadow here or a pixel there :).

I bet those differences would have mattered if they favoured your console of choice ... no? Higher resolution, better shadows (less blocky and less flickering) and more foliage isn't just a minor difference.

Well that makes the PS4 version the console version to get.

You want it to be like that right? Wouldnt be a "war" without that thinking. There are a lot of people who don't mind if their are less shadows or foliage or whatever. I did not start playing games to start counting pixels and whatnot. I play to have fun.

This. This is also the reason PS2 for example was so popular despite multiplatform games being inferior to Xbox games, because it had a larger library in total, offering alot of the fans more enjoyment out of the console. Even though I have always been an Xbox owner, I understand why people chose that console, they simply had more fun with it.

That's fair enough and I agree with you to a certain extent. The XB1 will have many great games and I'm sure you and many others will enjoy it over the coming years. I support Sony for the ammount of support they give their platforms, the extra power is just a bonus as far as I'm concerned. I enjoyed the inferior versions of last gen games on the PS3.
