Omnigamer writes, "With new consoles so close, rumors are flying left and right about the effectiveness of one vs. the other. Many articles claim the new Xbox comes up short in nearly every way, but should we just take their word for it? The majority seems to show the Xbox coming up behind the PS4 in terms of graphics processing, but is it bad enough to actually be worried?"
Crytek : In episode two of Our Story, the team discusses the evolution of Crysis into Crysis 2 and 3 (and the pressures that came with it), how a local connection landed an incredible collaboration with legendary composer Hans Zimmer, and the New York trip that inspired much of Crysis 2. For the gladiators among you, you’ll also get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the development of Ryse: Son of Rome and the attention to detail that went into it.
GB: "Say what you will about the state of the industry, but even as games evolve, their graphics remain a key aspect. Even some of the biggest flops this year sport some gorgeous visuals, as publishers and developers push the boundaries of what’s possible, pouring years of time and money into their work."
Quantum Break and Ryse are two that I was really surprised did not get an FPS boost option when played on the Series X|S. when i started playing both on the XBO, I thought they are both good, but after playing them also on my steam deck (in 60fps) I just cant go back and play the base games on XB. They really benefit from that faster frame rate.
Driveclub is another i wished had a HFR mode on PS5.
Most games this gen are the exact same except now we get faster loading through SSD and a res and fps bump. Graphically not much has improved, hell most last gen games are being relabeled and resold as “remastered” with the aforementioned updates.
I haven’t seen or played anything on either platform that couldn’t be run on last gen. Guess the law of diminishing returns is really showing itself these days.
Most games from 20 years ago are basically the same as today, with resolution and fps upgrades. The AI is still just as braindead as it always has been, worlds are full of static, boring characters that do the same thing over and over.
Smh another reason why graphics haven't improved that much is because most devs too caught up on cross gen. Ps4 was/still a dope console but time has moved on we're halfway close to a ps6 reveal and devs still will be making games on last gen in 2025. Then theres Microsoft purposely got the Xbox series s that causes more devs to try to pull strings as much as they can smh. It's a mixed bag of stuff, the only ones I see pushing hardware is sonys studios and even some indie games look better
Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.
1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland
Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.
I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.
3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.
You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.
In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.
Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome
I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.
You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.
Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.
Ryse arguably looks better than anything for ps4, so I doubt the ps4 is loads more powerful than the X1. If the X1 can produce visuals on par with Ryse, then I know Ill be satisfied with the X1. I don't care if the ps4 is more powerful on paper.
ya know... i play games for like 20years and i learned one thing...
Game preview, 90% of time, are lies... the game, normaly, don't get the same graphs. as the preview, than i say:
"it's too early to judge...", Game preview will not show what game is the real winner in the graphics, because we can't say who is the "bigger lier", or if there is a lier, puting a game whit graphics much better than the "real thing".
Its annoying how Sony fans ignore the esram and say their console is twice as good as the xb1.
Yet the most viually impressive game shown so far has been Ryse.
Killzone Shadow Fall looks fantastic... Much better in graphics than Ryse, which I played too... Honestly, you are going to get bored in less than 30 mins playing Ryse...
KSF is fun to play... And just pay attention to all details... The Xbone cannot achieve that...
No wonder that Ryse: Son of Rome has only 82,888... It cannot be compared with Killzone: Shadow Fall with 250,155...
Which means, that the xbone fanboys are not even buying Ryse... The first joke of the year ;-)

Launch games only touch the surface of what a console is capable of. Anyone remember what Perfect dark zero looked like. It was a 360 launch title that didn't look or play much better then a original Xbox game. Now look at games on the 360. Same goes for Ps3. Launch games don't even come close to a consoles full potential.
