Xbox One vs PS4 – Specs Not Important

However sometimes people forget that this is video games we are talking about and Sony’s Playstation studios and first party developers are known to go beyond power when it comes to how good games can look.

This is the lamest article I've read so far.

"PS2 at the year of 2002+ you would never see games that look as good on the PC with such “awful” per say specs: 147.456 MHz graphic card, 4MB eDRAM and 300 mhz processor."

Kinda makes you think doesn't ? The good ol'days.

Back in 2002 I had a pc with 32 mb graphic card. And a 128 mb graphic card was considered high end.

memories, i remember ps2 and i had a pc and played swat: 3. remember that game?

pedrof934653d ago

The name isn't strange to me.

The games that most played were: Jak and Daxter trilogy, MGS2 and then substance, Splashdown (They had Smash Mouth - All Star as main track),FF:X (Though I've never manage to beat the game because I was 10 years old and didn't know any English), Sly Raccoon, Shinobi, Matrix :Reloaded, GTA : Vice City (The one and only), Star Wars: StarFighter, NFS: Underground 2 and I had tone of demos that came with the official Ps2 magazines.

I know this off-topic but I got carried away :D

How can anybody in their right mind even suggest that specs are not important?

The better the specs the longer the console will live without requiring a hardware upgrade.

Nonsense, Specs in a machine mean everything to hardcore gamers

Teh cloud is all that matters.

It's not all about graphics but it is kind of important...case in point.

"How can anybody in their right mind even suggest that specs are not important?"

Specs are important, but they're only a means to an end. You could have something 100 times more powerful than a PS4, Xbox One, or ultra high end PC, but without development teams to make the most put of that power and communities who embrace the resultant games, then the importance of specs drops significantly.

Except when the PC destroys your 1.6ghz specs, then suddenly it's goddamn right

Fanboy double standards.

JackOfAllBlades4653d ago (Edited 4653d ago )

Specs are important, BUT it's not all about specs, you don't want a godly powerful console with no games. But the PS4 is apparently more powerful and has great games. However, what console is best for you depends on which has the games and features you like most. Mine is the PS4 and one of my great friends is the Xbox One. They're both solid choices, as is Wii U for people who love Nintendo's exclusives and an amazing choice is PC, while it costs more for a good rig games are cheaper. It is all simply a matter of preference.

PS4 - Specs + Gameplay/Games = This! http://i.minus.com/ibrntspX...

lifeisgamesok4653d ago

I hope the playstation 4 specs matter

HammadTheBeast4653d ago (Edited 4653d ago )

Specs do matter, especially when companies like EA are saying they can potentially target 1080 p on PS4 version of BF4 but not XBO's.

But, probably due to their partnership with MS, EA will cater to the lowest common denominator.

theWB274653d ago (Edited 4653d ago )

Proof...last I heard was PS4 was running 720p and 16 player matches.
"Another contributing factor was resolution. While EA and DICE have not confirmed what resolution the game will run at on next-gen consoles, for the purposes of this demo, it was running at a resolution higher than 720p, but not 1080p. Though the difference between the two formats may not be recognizable to more casual players, after spending the week checking out games running natively at 1080p, it was readily apparent to me."

http://www.ign.com/articles...

Stop lying Beast. I think I'll take the actual devs word to IGN over a twitter guy that makes youtube vids.

Smoovekid4653d ago (Edited 4653d ago )

There will be 64 players on PS4 and will run at 60 fps, no one at DICE has confirmed the resolution.

Alvidta4653d ago

Specs do matter, especially when companies like EA are saying they can potentially target 1080 p on PS4 version of BF4 but not XBO's. lol - says nothing about Xbo's so keep it out there, it's all about PS4 in that article. and everywhere else.

BehindGames4653d ago

I like the poll, They didn't know that the next Xbox is called Xbox One.
They still on Xbox 720 lol :P

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot22d ago

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…

HectixRose23d ago

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.

JEECE23d ago

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.

CantThinkOfAUsername22d ago

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.

Soy23d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde23d ago

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.

Ashunderfire8623d ago

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.

Ashunderfire8623d ago (Edited 23d ago )

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.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300023d ago

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.

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.

solideagle23d ago

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

Relientk7723d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
