Sorry fella.

You have missed the point.
I welcome discussion on n4g whether it be ps4 criticism or xbox criticism or Wii criticism or PC criticism.

What I can't stomach are double standards.
This is not a ps4 site. This is a news aggregation site for all platforms.

Please don't obfuscate the issue with a bogstandard strawman argument.

The issue I have identified is a real i...

@ jokes

Yeah disappointing that a mod has sought to fail this story after the N4G community approved it. These gifs provided a useful snapshot and additional distillation of the most recent trailer. The Gifs certainly provided further insight into this game and appeared to garner useful discussion and exposure to next gen gameplay.

Sometimes I think there are overzealous mods on this site that have an agenda, and that's ok because we are all human and we ...

The correct link has been posted numerous times now.

I checked the links:

https://www.abiresearch.com...
It appears this company has been providing analytical research for 23 years. Hardly a 'crappy website'

Most importantly, here's the link with the info on ps4/xb1 that you could not find. It took about ten seconds for me to find on the abi website.

Not sure what the matter is with the PS4 fanboys on this site. Whenever a reputable source provides an article that doesn't agree with their preconceived notions, they attack the article and attempt to dismiss it.

Conversely, when an article appears based on an unconfirmed and anonymous amateur video that panders to their agenda, they treat it like holy gospel.

Sadly I lost a bubble for pointing this out.
There is something wrong with this site if th...

@abriael.

This was a video made by an amateur who likely was trying to debunk rumours.
Who to believe? the amateur PS4 fan who posts the video or some official a/c statistics for Saudi Arabia?

@ abriael.

Why are we automatically assuming that this location in Saudi Arabia is hot?

It looks like this marketing event is held in a mall or public hall of some sort, which is almost certainly air conditioned.

Here's some pertinent information regarding a/c installations in Saudi Arabia:

sorry newmonday, gotta disagree
the new trailer looks better than the E3 build.

You seem to be incessantly trolling, yet your bubble count is very high.

Mods?
Anyone home?

Lol @ newmonday

Ryse looks fabulous. The most recent trailer and screenshots look better than what was shown earlier. Crytek has stated that the build is only getting improvements since E3.

Importantly, Crytek clarified that the same choice to run at 900p would also have been made had it been on PS4. Crytek justifies the decision:
"as choice wasnt based on a hurdle. Its for efficiency as no perceived visual difference, as final output is 1080p.&q...

@ thrust

agreed

I am impressed by the way this looks and i hope this represents actual gameplay.

In time we will see equally impressive gameplay videos emerge from the ps4 side and as developers learn to extract power from each console we will see the standard improve even further.

At the risk of offending fanboys, I am not sure whether there is any truth in the +50% claims that are being bandied about regarding certain conso...

4517d ago 2 agree1 disagreeView comment

So please help me to understand.

You claim it looks so good it is probably pre-rendered.

Yet we have some fanboys above saying that ps4 games look even better?

sorry, that sounds like a unjustified Sony fanboy statement.

I had a good look at KZsf and it looks great. So does QB though. Essentially we are comparing the difference between a Porsche and a Ferrari. Which is better?

Differences at this level are somewhat subjective and difficult to quantify.

4517d ago 3 agree0 disagreeView comment

Agreed.

However, has anyone told the fanboys?
Apparently if it's not 1080p it looks like a*s.

Or maybe this only applies to games rendered at 1080p on their console of choice?

@KUV1977

SO what you are saying is that some games, even though they may technically be 1080p 60fps still do not look as good as some other games which do not tick that requirement?
Interesting.

Has anyone told the fanboys?

So you would like to use the dedicated MP servers, the extra compute and the potential of offloading harware requirements onto the cloud without actually connecting to the internet?

Gotcha.

Your comment is a disaster that's already happened.

The fact that your comment still stands and you got 7 agrees is sad testament to some of the users and moderation on this site.

"how does that, exactly, make something available for years to all of us...a 'cloud'?"

Well, as the article stated, the cloud's main use at launch will be for dedicated servers which are to be made available to developers at launch for game hosting.

That in itself is not a bad thing. Dedicated servers cost money and MS is providing them to all developers for the developers to use at their discretion.
