Why All Multiplatform Games Will Look Better on the PS4

Josh of GeeksPodcast dives into not only the hardware advantages the PS4 holds over the Xbox One, but also the development constrictions the Xbox One suffers that ensure multiplatform dominance for Sony.

Yeah, it's not rocket science. Stronger console gets better graphics

edonus, your system being focused on inputting repeated voice commands to navigate and having graphically gimped resolutions and frame rates has nothing to do with baby horses.

Majin-vegeta4492d ago

@edonus

Just stahp.See this http://www.ign.com/wikis/xb...

And that's just the beginning.It's only gonna get worse from here on forward.

amiga-man4492d ago (Edited 4492d ago )

@edonus

I can't believe your still in denial, most have accepted the PS4 is the more powerful console and have moved on, it's not even an argument.

Xbox One:
1.18 Teraflop GPU with 12 active Compute Units (2 disabled)
768 Shaders
48 Texture mapping units
16 Render output units
2 Asynchronous Compute Engines with 16 queues

PlayStation 4:
1.84 Teraflop GPU with 18 active Compute Units (2 disabled) // 56% higher than Xbox One
1152 Shaders // 50% more
72 Texture mapping units // 50% more
32 Render output units // 100% more
8 Asynchronous Compute Engines with 64 queues // 400% more

DevilishSix4492d ago

there is a reason edonus only has one bubble 'when he says things like it has nothing to do with power" I denial is strong with that one.

EXVirtual4492d ago

You're in denial edonus.
Just accept it. The PS4 is more powerful. Take it for what it is and move on.
In a year (as the gen goes on in fact), the gap will only become larger. Yes, the XBO's performance will get better, but so will the PS4's. Thuway even said that the PS4 has more power left that hasn't been shown yet.

04STIBluByU4492d ago

Can't argue with facts and science xHeavyx!

For edonus and all the guys who responded to his post...Did you guys ever think maybe he's got a point and it was more about RAM than the GPU? I mean its like two cars at a drag strip. Twin turbo=XB1 with 32MB eSRAM and 8 gigs of DDR3 vs Huge Single Turbo=PS4 8 gigs of GDDR5. Now the twin turbo car can go pretty good but runs out in the top end whereas the Huge Single Turbo car has incredible top end and easily takes the win. Different Scenario: The GPU's are like its top speed Bugatti Veyron=PS4 1.84TF vs Lamborghini Aventador=XB1 1.32TF (not sure of exact numbers) but you get the point we wont see the full potential unless there is a long straight away=further into the generation (for now: 3 months in we are still at the drag strip (1/4 mile) into the life of the consoles) Basically PS4 will always pull away because of being purpose built!

It doesn't take a math wizard to understand why the PS4 has games with far better graphics than the Xbox One and Wii U.

The only odd part is why MS things I would be willing to pay $100 more for a significantly inferior machine. Release a $300 non-Kinect version and you will be the price point you are worth based on the systems graphical capabilities.

H0RSE4492d ago (Edited 4492d ago )

"far better?" really? Just look at the comparison pic in the article:

http://geekspodcast.com/gee...

I'm not seeing "far better" there. The multiplats released on both systems thus far, have had small differences. There has not been a case of one version (PS4 or otherwise) looking significantly or "far better" than the other.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

These "far better" graphics you speak of between multiplats, aren't going to manifest (if they do) until the consoles have been out for some time.

afterMoth4492d ago (Edited 4492d ago )

MS commends you for going with a cherry picked Assassin Creed picture.

I actually feel bad for you that your vision is so impaired that at best to your eyes your console only looks as good as a crappy overly compressed youtube feed. No difference at all.

H0RSE4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

There was nothing "cherry picked" about it. It was the pic from the goddamn article - coincidentally, an article about how multiplats will also look better on PS4... Apparently clicking on "Read full story" and using a pic from said story, constitutes as "cherry picking."

afterMoth4491d ago

This is why MS loves you, you take what is fed to you without having independent thought.

Decent article that fell flat in the end with the whole hand holding "everybody is a winner" shill. Face it, as long as developers push the PS4 and don't gimp it to match the Xbox One, it will have better multi-platform games for the foreseeable future.

geekspodcast4492d ago

Hey Sarcasm, it wasn't my intention to say everyone's a winner (That would deflate the entire article, really) but rather that some people simply won't notice these differences or even care! Looking at the Assassin's Creed screenshot for example, at least, in my opinion, I don't see a massive difference but some people do. The point of the article was merely to point out the factors that account for those differences. I appreciate the feedback and hopefully I can win you over on a future article. Have a great day! :)

Sarcasm4492d ago

^Thank you for the polite response. I do know and agree there are some people who can't tell a difference and some don't care. But I was merely more referencing to the difference of the hardware will always push the PS4 to be the one with the best quality on multi-platform games for the same money.

ThatCanadianGuy5144492d ago

Yep.And not like last gen either with a blurry texture here and there or an off color shade of grass.

We're talking rendering literally double the amount of pixels on screen and/or double the framerate.

That's huge.That's a selling point for a console huge.
I'm just glad i'll know that every game i buy for my console for this entire gen, will be the best console game.All the great RPG's coming, MMO's, future Fallouts/Elderscrolls.

Best $399 i'll ever spend.

Sarcasm4492d ago (Edited 4492d ago )

The biggest annoyance so far is the flip flop in the games media.

X360 has two slightly sharper textures than PS3, "X360 super vastly superior over 9000 experience, avoid the PS3 version like the plague!"

PS4 has either double the resolution or frame rate than Xbox One, "Very slight difference, nobody can tell"

Hyper_Tension1404492d ago

@Sarcasm

You couldnt be more right, the xbox fanboys deserve all thats coming to them for being that way.

mark3214uk4492d ago

the ps4 rocks simple

cheaper and more powerfull wins everytime in my book its basics

The answer to this is pretty simple. The PS4s CPU and GPU are stronger than the Xbox Ones. On top of that Sony managed to have better drivers at launch plus their console is very easy to develop for due to its unified memory architecture. By no means is the Xbox One a bad console but it isnt on the same level on the PS4 due to its weaker hardware.

hello124492d ago

You obviously did not even read the article. He clearly said the CPU in the x box 1 was faster. Seriously read before commenting.

Sarcasm4492d ago

Sony never published actual CPU speeds of the PS4, 1.6ghz is all a guess by the media.

Regardless, it makes zero difference seeing as the GPU is the deciding factor for Resolution and pixel pushing power in which the PS4 is 50% more powerful.

Smelly1sam4492d ago

They do not have CPUs they have APUs

dcj05244492d ago

Dude the GPU is faster not the CPU.

Naughty Dog Was Reportedly Divided On Joel's Controversial Fate During Development Of TLOU Part 2

Cacabunga26d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot25d 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…

HectixRose26d 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.

JEECE26d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername25d 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.

Soy26d ago

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

DarXyde26d 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.

Ashunderfire8626d 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.

Ashunderfire8626d ago (Edited 26d 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.

pwnmaster300026d 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.

solideagle26d 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

Relientk7726d ago

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