The PS4 is 20%-30% more powerful than the X1. That is a fact everyone knows. Maybe with efficient use of ESRAM, the Cloud and DX12 the gap will close a bit.
The more important question is how better do COD, BF, AC, WD, Madden etc... look on the PS4. In a side by side blind test could a casual gamer reliably pick out one vs the other? The answer is no. The PS4 and Xbone look virtually the same. Maybe a 1 or 2% difference.
The most important question is h...
Cam anyone tell me how much more fun Metro is on the PS4 vs the Xbone? I tried it on my PC with dual 5870s and everything was so dark I couldn't tell what was going on. I'm hoping with how much more powerful the PS4 is, it will be more fun like DOTA or something.
There are not 15 good games out for Xbox. F5, DR3, and TF are good exclusives. KI is a fun distraction. AC, COD, BF, Madden, NBA, D3, Metro, WD might be good games but they are multiplatform. I'm an Xbox fan but this list is ridiculous.
Are you guys playing games or staring at pause screens. You can not notice the difference between 900p and 1080p when playing. I have a 110" screen and sit <10' away. On your average 42" or 46" and at normal sitting distance you can't see 720p vs 1080p. The X bone is powerful enough to play great looking fun games. The PS4 being 20% more powerful doesn't make a game even 1% more fun. Looking at MCC and watching them flip from 360 to X bone gfx proves this. ...
This is a case where everybody wins. $400 for a sexy white Xbone and SO. And while the white PS4 isn't giving you a discount on Destiny it's still really nice looking
Secret sauce
We should be like Sony fans and post 500 stories about how unfair it is that Sony has this as an exclusive.
Simply put No!
People are coming up with all kinds of reasons why this case is different, but OUTCOME is all that matters - not what led up to it. Exclusives suck for all gamers!!!!
What is the difference if:
- MSFT spent $$ through a 1st party studio to develop the game and made it exclusive (Forza 5), vs
- MSFT gave money to a struggling developer to finish the game and made it exclusive (TitanFall), vs
- MSFT gave certain perks ...
Haha haha haha. After all the Sony bullies spent the last year claiming the cloud is useless.... now they will all backtrack and sing it's praises. Cause everyone knows if Sony is involved the impossible becomes reality.
What about a BF game or mod where you start out as a protester with rocks and improvised weapons and have to fight vs overly Millatirized police and eventually the army.
Mr Magos hahahahahaha. That is a joke right? If you click on the comments that are marked for trolling often they are very innocuous comments supporting the Xbone, and you get PL bullies saying the most vile things with X2 more agrees than disagrees and 5+ bubbles. It's a total farce and everyone knows it.
Btw I have 3 PS3s and will ultimately buy 1 or more PS4S when games I want to play come out, so I'm not anti Sony just anti some of the retards on N4G.
Sony trolls do not understand anything other than 1080p and 60fps. Anything else like model polygon complexity, texture quality, physics, number of images on screen, depth of field, lighting and shadows. Or fun factor, compelling story, memorable characters, revolutionary game play features. None of that matters compared to 960p vs 1080p.
Rift is owned by Facebook. MSFT owns a bunch of FB stock. If VR takes off it will be Rift on Xbone and PC vs Sony.
The big issue is its too early. Go watch 3rd in 1080p vs 4k. Huge difference. You need 1080p to each eye for this to look good and be comfortable. Xbone As PS4 don't have the chops for that. Maybe nextgen.
False dichotomy. You buy it for both, plus DR3, F5, Titanfall, Horizon 2, Halo 5, Fable, Gears, etc... But of the 2 I'm am more excited for MCC and think it will take me so long to get through that, I won't pickup SO until it's in the bargain bin. I mean MCC is at least 100 hours of single player and a hundred multiplayer maps.
Hahahahaha. Now watch all the Sony Bullies have to switch gears and say, the cloud will be great on PS4, just not on Xbox. It's like the PS Now sharing "feature" is mind blowing, but when Xbox was going to do it it was DRM BS.
I'll go you one better.
Fun factor is #1, #2, #3 and #4
Compelling story (unless it's a racer, fighter, sports game)
Compelling characters (unless it's a racer, fighter or sports game)
Novel Mechanics / features
Competitive Multiplayer with hosted servers and good matchmaking and control over cheaters and greifers
Coop
Model complexity and texture detail
FPS

Xbox is for people that like DR3, F5, H2, SO, MCC, Halo 5, GOW, Titanfall etc... Xbox is for people that like to have easy and fun social, online and non gaming features on their tv.
PS4 is for people that want to play multi platform games at the highest resolution. It's for people that want a big selection of indie games and that want to play GT, God of War and UK in the future.
Nintendo is for Mario, Zelda and Metroid. It's safer for families bec...
Do you have a PS4. If no - then NO.
If yes then have you played it on PS3. If yes - then NO.
If no then do you like slower paced 3rd person action games. If no - then NO.
Do you have $50. If no then NO.
Otherwise go for it.
Their are things in Forza 5 and Titanfall that can't be done on PS4 like driveatars. With DX 12, Cloud compute and ESRAM tiling/swapping there will be more and more things the Xbone can do that the PS4 cant. I'm sure Sony could add some of these features in time, but right now only MSFT has it. PS4 has a lot of things it can do that the Xbone cant. It can shade 50% more polygons. It can compute locally about 40% faster. The consoles aren't identical so they can't do 100%...
Good looking isn't reason enough to buy a game. I don't care if you are a Sony or MSFT fan. Let's not vacillate because it's on our console of choice. This is a PROVE it title like 1886. It's all about game play and plot.
