Awesome, another game for VGC to throw a fit over because they think some pixels might have been held back.


People have a right to be miffed when a Dev holds back one version because ms released a weaker console.  Many bought a ps4 because it was more powerful.  Some people have strong principles 

Didn't bother anyone back in the ps2 gen when gamecube and xbox games were held back by the ps2.

No one cared or even understood resolution back than. Different ballpark. The systems looked virtual identical. Back then people whined about, huge ass system, lunchbox, breaks too much.

No one cared because it was about the games not the tech, each console had a multitude of games worth having so people didn't spend their time going over multiplats with a magnifying glass to find a way to win teh console war. All this whinging about minor technical details when what it really should come down too is "is the game good".

Yes, the world changed. Why? The game makers and console makers made people care about this. Pounding everyone HD is the future, HD is god. How many damn comericals spamed 720p, 1080i, 1080p in 2006. Now when they can't actually do it 100% power. Dogs bark. This issue will just get worse. Once a future console can do 4K. And when people find out, it doesn't in all games. Shit hits the fan again.

And LOL at people talking about PS2.
The XBOX and GameCube together barely even had half the games that came to the PS2.
Parity isn't an issue when everyone only want to develop to one system.
And I don't remember 360 games looking worse than they should because it was harder to develop to the PS3, most multiplats didn't cared for parity at all as we can see 360 getting better looking games almost all gen by third party. And when parity happened was to PS3 games worked more to look as they were on the 360, not the 360 held down to PS3 don't look bad.

The PS3 did have a complicated architechure, but that didn't stop some developers. Pretty much everything EA developed that isn't a sports sim, everything Rockstar developed, all Assassin's Creed games, and many other examples were developed on the PS3 first. The PS3's lead platform multiplats didn't look better on PS3, but exclusives did. Multiplats that looked better on the 360 probably did so because it's harder to port to PS3 than 360.  AC Unity and EA Sports sims on the PS4 don't look leagues and bounds better than the XB1 versions for a similar reason. 

I would say developers DID care about parity last gen. Like I said, most multiplats developed on PS3 first looked the exact same on both consoles. Games developed on 360 first looked better on 360. GAMERS are the ones who didn't care about parity, and they do now. The PS3 was more powerful than the 360, and Uncharted shows this, so if games last gen didn't "push the PS3" to its limits (according to logic used during the AC Unity debacle, and again now), why is it such a big deal now??

I dont care. MS can have the third party parity, but their exclusives in the end wont look as good. Regardless, see how much that matters to mebecause im playing the one more right ow.

I'm surprised Sony is so accepting of this . PS4 is easily the more powerful machine and has a much larger userbase. Why not take advantage of it?

because the return is small and it requires additional funding.

Don't think about it...

Is it just me or are devs making this a bigger deal about this? Last gen if multiplats weren't equal then the PS3 was the worst version and by a noticeable amount (ie. Bayonetta, Orange Box etc..) and devs seemed like they didnt give a crap about trying to equalize it.

So why now? Is MS paying or demanding it knowing that the PS4 is now the better choice for devs? Or are devs just being lazy and if they cant produce 1080p/60fps on both consoles then makes it easier to not put in extra work to strive for that setting? I honestly don't know, just my thoughts.
