Digital foundry says: PS4 version might be missing Texture filtering.

at 1:03 in the frame rate test video, ps4 version drops to 55 fps while xbox one remains at 60. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Kayant4514d ago (Edited 4514d ago )

"PS4 version might be missing Texture filtering." - It is likely a bug/oversite as only the PS4 has the issue. You can see the difference in the ground textures clearly in the beginning of the framerate vid and the pictures in the article.

XB1 won it's first face-off misterx must be proud. He will sure run home with this.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4513d ago

Well ya can't win them all lol.

On a side note I've been thoroughly impressed by how fun this game is.

Tito084513d ago (Edited 4513d ago )

Having known this came from the same people that made the new Killer Instinct for XB-One, this was to be expected.

ziggurcat4513d ago

"XB1 won it's first face-off misterx must be proud. He will sure run home with this."

it's a bug that can be fixed, so they better not hold their breath for too long.

"Oddly enough, the texture filtering issue present on PS4 isn't a problem here: floor textures enjoy additional clarity on both PS3 and 360, suggesting that we're looking at a bug on PlayStation 4."

Arm all defenses and excuse's.

SniperControl4514d ago

Lol, what happened to "I dont play the game for graphics/resolution/framerate, i play the game to enjoy it"

B-radical4514d ago

Agreed! Something doesn't go a fanboy's way ps4 or x1 fanboy alike they change there tune pretty fast....its a good game on all platforms enjoy

Muerte24944513d ago (Edited 4513d ago )

Remember it was Digital Foundry who botched the COD:Ghost comparison with XBOX One and PS4. Just saying. It's kinda hard to trust any face off they do these days.

yewles14513d ago

Oh I trust this article for once, it's Double Helix we're talking about here. Any dev that can make a 1-on-1 fighter 720p on 8th-gen hardward can be FULLY expected to screw up a multiplat on a more powerful variation.

You gotta' hand it to Double Helix: They're consistent...

Gunstar754513d ago

Double helix have been working with the xbox one for a while now,, so I guess this demonstrates what can be achieved when you get to grips with the hardware.

Sevir4513d ago

This is true! They have had time to wrapped their heads around it. this is their second game on XBOX ONE! none the less, the game shines on ps4 and i love it!!!

arika4513d ago

Whats the standing now isnt it 10 out of 2 games in favor of ps4.... with strider if its true, it can be updated. Its known already that ps4 is more powerful, so if the developer doesnt get lazy on ps4 it will always win any face off.

RiPPn4513d ago

So they get Strider until the patch, what was the other one? lol

Bennibop4513d ago (Edited 4513d ago )

Double helix had Moore time with x1 so no surprise

killzone6194513d ago (Edited 4513d ago )

@SniperControl

just like knack was right? lol

nltsaved4513d ago

Man look at the HUGE graphical Power house of the ps4 the difference is just mind blowing . Man i guess i should sell my Xbox one because the difference is just so Overwhelmingly in the ps4's ability to be superior . LOL so sarcastically laughing at all you Sony fan boys in your superior graphic comments . It is barley noticeable in every side by side game comparison . WOW wake up the only thing the ps4 has going for it is the price . Xbox does so much more with BARLEY noticible graphic advantage lol

"When it comes to selecting which version of Strider to play, we have to recommend sticking to the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or PC versions of the game."

No shit.

DanielGearSolid4514d ago

X1 got this one, cause of the texture filtering... Which I know nothing about.

Wonder if it has to do with dx11

aerisbueller4514d ago

It doesn't. It's a simple switch that any PC game can do with a simple flag enabled (your graphics card can even force this for older games that don't have it). Either it was an intentional gimp, or a simple mistake, but it's a very low-cost feature that every console has been able to do since the dreamcast days.

DanielGearSolid4514d ago

Interesting... Wonder why it isnt there on Ps4

Kayant4514d ago

"cause of the texture filtering... Which I know nothing about." Look at this --> http://international.downlo...

and this from the game --> http://i.imgur.com/cf405FR....

Look at the floor you can see that on the PS4 version the ground patterns appear to disappear/get blurry the further you look compared to the PC and XB1 versions.

TheRedButterfly4514d ago (Edited 4514d ago )

I wish the images you included were large enough to really see, but they got the point across. XO got this one, but I'm not really sure it matters… :) Awesome games are awesome games.

But probably the most interesting part of the article: "It's not clear why but the anisotropic texture filtering employed on Xbox One is completely absent on PS4, producing a difference that once seen cannot be unseen - a distinct blurring of detail on angled textures that severely reduces detail in places."

I wonder why ^that^ is?

FamilyGuy4513d ago

Yup, they dun' screwed up somehow.

Someone should asked the devs about this or why it happened.

Palitera4513d ago

When Xbox One runs a game at 1080 and 60 fps... You know you're dealing with oversimplistic stuff.

Seriously, why didn't they release this game for cel phones? I feel like I played this game one thousand times.

Melankolis4514d ago

a sabotage from Double Helix??

MS : You're one of us right?
DH : (sigh)...i understand..

Anyway i've tried this game, played on Xbox360 and yes this kind of fast-paced game should be played with 60fps (next-gen or PC).

lonelyplayer4514d ago

It'll be patched and ps4 will win. End of the story.

Edsword4513d ago

You are probably right about the patch.

FamilyGuy4513d ago

Considering the size of this game that is a definite possibility, that is, if this is simply an occurrence from an oversight. It seems like an accident because of all the other games released so far but we won't know till someone asks the devs about it.

The one ninja forgotten

In the past two years, Ninja games seem to have made a comeback. ININ, Sega, Dotemu, and others have all thrown their names into the arena. Thus far, the quality of each company’s aforementioned games has been high from what we’ve been shown. And in the case of ININ and Dotemu, can literally play their offering as of the writing of this article. Right now, no matter which retro revival ninja franchise you favor, you’re guaranteed a quality game.

We're definitely long overdue for another Strider game.

lodossrage318d ago

The timing would have been perfect had a new Strider game came out now.

FACTUAL evidence317d ago

Heyyy, strider was always my guy. My avi been that guy since I was a member in this site lol.

Bathyj318d ago

The only real ninja missing from today's gaming landscape is Rikimaru

Redgrave318d ago

The Tenchu crew must sneak again, Onikage's plans must again be foiled

lodossrage318d ago

Does Activision still have publishing rights to that?

telgou318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

You know who should get a remaster ( graphical recreation not remake, the gameplay is perfect) ? Goh the crow from Shinobido.
Shinobido is the metal gear solid of ninja games...

Agent75317d ago

Some of us gamers still enjoy 2D games. The likes of UN Squadron, Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Final Fight, Strider are all due sequels in 2D. Most of these games would probably run off the same engine. Go back to the 8 bit and 16 bit days and you could pull out a ton of 2D games due a sequel.

lodossrage317d ago

well UN Squadron would probably be the least likely to get a sequel since that's actually based on the old anime Area 88. The name was just changed to UN Squadron when it came west.

But then again, I could be wrong. Cobra is getting a new game

Z501317d ago (Edited 317d ago )

Loudest ninja(s) ever.
Where are the real ninja?

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds1349d ago (Edited 1349d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno1349d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya1349d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat20201349d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds1349d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya1349d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman1349d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran1349d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
