PS4 holds a spec advantage over the Xbox One. The system has better RAM but the CPU is quite similar. So what about the GPU?

Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-
I think the only game here for me is Nine Sols. Was always interested in that game.
Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
Naughty Dog was reportedly divided on the controversial fate of Joel in The Last of Us Part 2 during the game's development.
Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.
Makes you think…
I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.
It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.
I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.
I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).
From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.
But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.
Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!
Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.
I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.
Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.
Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
I think Jonathan Blow said it best regarding the PS4's advantage in hardware power.
(I'm paraphrasing his comments from Twitter)
"The difference in power is going to be more significant than people think. We're talking about one console running a game at 30 fps and the other console running the game at 60 fps".
And before anyone spouts the "it won't matter because devs will program for the lowest common denominator", that is 100% false. PS3 had a weaker GPU and a split pool of RAM, and guess what happened? A lot of multiplats looked better on 360! You can say "Devs were being lazy" all you want. It doesn't matter because even if that's true, do you think those "lazy" devs are suddenly going to be "not lazy" now? No. They'll utilize the PS4's hardware advantage because 3rd parties don't give a crap about console wars. They care about their game selling more than the OTHER 3rd party devs, so they're not going to compromise the fidelity of their game for some silly "lowest common denominator" nonsense.
Specs do matter and they favor Sony this time around. Beyond that I can't imagine it being all that easy to develop for the Xbox One that is said to have 3 Operating Systems in one. Seems unnecessarily complicated, hopefully Microsoft comes out with good software tools to make it easy to develop for the system.
I do think E3 was telling with developers running their games off of ps4 hardware and Xbox One games off of high-end PC hardware. It's too early to say how it will all turn out, but so far Sony holds an advantage technology wise. Really is a reverse of the 360/PS3 situation at launch all those years ago.
Lets wait untilt both are out, and compare games by then.
Because if you purely go for specs, then the Xb1 and Ps4 are better then my pc as well, after all, my pc has 4 cores, and the consoles have 8, and my Pc has 6gb DDr3 and 2gbGddr5, and both consoles have 8GB unified.
And yet, my pc (I7) is twice as powerful as the next gen consoles, due to having a better architechture.
Specs alone dont mean so much anymore these days, a quadcore 2ghz phone for example doesnt perform much better then a Pentium3 800 mhz.
I believe that the setup MS choose for, is a very balanced one, where both AI and phsysics are processed quickly (thanks to the good timings of DDR3), as well as textures and other gpu related data are processed quickly too (thanks to the ESram).
i am still doubtful about how the ps4 will handle physics and AI quickly, as the ps4 doesnt have DDR3 on board.
Ps4 is gonna be great. When a company goes to the devs the sony did and ask them what they want and need then give it to them the results will be great games for years to come. I am interested to see what people are doing with the next gen systems 2 years from now.
Still on the fence about Xbox1 but not because the specs are weaker, but last time I got 2 360 and both died rrod and ms didn't fix either one. So gotta wait and see sine the Xbox1 and 360 had about the same development time table.
