graphic wars been going on since the sega vs nintendo days. just watch that sega commercial. "sega does what nintendont."

But back then, it was like 16-Bit Sega Genesis attacking the 8-Bit Nes.  Then, when it was SNES vs. Genesis, it was "This game isn't possible on the competition".  These days, it's like "This game is possible on the competition and is even available on their machine but on ours, if you pause the game and look REALLY closely, you might spot a difference."

This is retarded, whipeout HD was a less demanding game then those out now, it's like saying console X is more capable then console Y because it can run tetris at 1080p@60fps while console Y can only run crysis 4 at 720p@30fps

with a big screen hdtv, you dont have to pause or look really closely.

edit. I'm not talking about decent size, I'm talking about large size.

Changed the title to something that wasn't blatant flamebait.

So I've heard. But these days, who doesn't have a decent sized HDTV?  What I do have that a lot of people don't is both the Xbox One and PS4.  I just don't see the huge gulf in power that we forum dwellers like to make a big deal about. 

Of course I said this almost a year ago and I was told by other users that I was blind and I need my eyes checked.  I still haven't done it yet so who knows?

It was CGI like graphic back in the days... just the ff movie look much better, the most cgi looked awefull( and its still does)

As a gamer since the early 80's, all it took was a screenshot and I could say, "This is definitely running on a Sega Master System" or "This is definitely running on an N64". You could tell simply by what each console was capable off. A SNES game looked noticeably different than its closest competitor and even the untrained eye could spot it. Show me a pic of Call of Duty on an Xbox 360 and a PS3 and I would be hard pressed to tell you which was which--even after playing it. Hell, I bought Tomb Raider Definitive as my first PS4 game and even with enhanced graphics and resolution, it was still barely better than the Xbox 360 version (once the initial gloss wore off).

In the old days, it was "This game isn't even available on your console" or "This game has a whole level that your version doesn't'. Now, aside from some exclusivity deals, it's the difference between watching a movie on Netflix and watching the same movie on VOD. The content is the same and the experience is the same. But we love to go to war over such minor differences.

QFT but you know there's a lot of simple minded people on forums.

But his title says it is possible... :p

On a side note, Sniper Elite III isn't 1080p/60fps on the X1. It's 1080p/30~60fps and has an appalling amount of screen tearing. Fortunately they added a 30fps lock mode though, which gets rid of the tearing.

The PS4 version is closer (1080p/40~60fps with no tearing, and some better AF), but i wouldn't really describe that as 1080p/60fps either.

The game could have done with better optimization all round to be honest.
