"Some women find facial scars attractive...mind you, most of those women are Krogan"

I'd also like to add that Forza Horizon 2 has no crushed blacks at all and is one of the most colourful games this gen so far, behind Sunset Overdrive. So that game alone proves both of your points wrong. When an X1 game has crushed blacks, it's because the blacks are crushed. And when an X1 game has a washed-out image, it's because it has a washed-out image.

"Although those blacks in the XBO version are looking crushed"

What? Am I looking at a different set of shots than you? The X1 version doesn't have any black crush at all.

...But I clearly can tell the difference because I literally JUST SAID that the X1 version looks washed out, yet the PS4 shots don't. That's telling a difference between brightness/contrast. Lol. The only reason I say wait for DF is because they usually make sure the RGB settings are the same for both consoles. Hence why I said we'll have to wait for a "fair" analysis.

Sites like this one always end up messing something up, which results in an unfair com...

"When x1 is more colorful it's crushed blacks. "

No, X1 has crushed blacks when the blacks are crushed. People don't say there are crushed blacks because they see a more colourful image, they say it because details in darker areas are being completely obscured by black crush.

"When x1 shows no crushed blacks, it's foggy. "

Wait...but the shots in the article ARE foggy. That's just a ...

Yeah, that's strange. Either way, though, neither console should have washed-out visuals to the extent of those captures. Both consoles should be set to the same RGB settings when being compared. If you have your console set to 'full' RGB, and your TV can support a full RGB signal, then you should never get washed out visuals.

It's either a problem with the capture equipment, or the consoles RGB settings are different.

But hey, at least they u...

What the hell is up with the X1 captures here? It looks really washed-out. Looks like the PS4 is set to full RGB, while the X1 is set to limited.

As usual, we'll have to wait for DF for a fair analysis...

Parity isn't bound to res and framerate.

For example, the PS4 version could have increased anisotropic filtering...or slightly higher quality shadows... or slightly better ambient occlusion.

I'm not saying GTAV does have those things on PS4, but people like you who make fun of others who whine about parity should probably do some research on graphical parity beforehand.

On topic: 3 MORE DAYS!

Ha, yeah, I was switching between streams of both of those games. Open world games are my favourite, I think I'm pretty set for the rest of year, and some of next too. :D

An absolute mess of a game (AC:U), and a solid release (FC4) releasing within a week of each other. Both from the same studio.

Ubisoft is weird...

Just just press the touchpad on PS4 to switch between them.

Hopefully they add some sort of horde/survival mode. I think the scarce ammo and the focus on crafting would transfer really well into a horde mode.

This is why it's important to call out developers on their garbage. Nothing will ever change unless we make a noise about it. If no one had said anything, Ubisoft wouldn't have given a damn and would have continued screwing us over.

Then again, they'll most likely still screw us over...but at least we'll know about it beforehand now. Lmao.

4234d ago 40 agree2 disagreeView comment

It's sad that we have to do these things because devs can't be bothered to give us quality games.

Well...when I say "devs", I mainly mean Ubisoft.

Sunset overdrive deserves to have sold sooooo much more.

It's probably my favourite game so far this gen, along with FH2. It's frustrating to see genuinely great games, that put fun above all else, pale in comparison to the usual run-of-the-mill AAA garbage.

Day one patches usually contain fixes that are made from when the game has gone gold, up until the time of release. Devs can't work on the game after it's gone gold, so they work on fixes until the game is released, and then release those fixes as a day one patch.

It's not a matter of saying "oh, screw it, we'll fix that later in the day one patch". Companies have strict timelines to meet. Cut them some slack and show a little understanding. ;)

@bleedsoe9mm

....Yes? I'm sorry, how is that relevant?

Are you trying to say that the framerate of AC:U, a current-gen game, is acceptable, because a game made for 8-year-old hardware also dipped frames?

Because if you are, that would be some pretty far-fetched logic.

"Just got into it with *Lukas_Japonicus* in the "Assassin's Creed Unity PS4 vs Xbox One Video Comparison: Xbox One Has Sharper Image Qualitity" article when he was damage controlling the article over the same topic. "

First of all, it's nice to know I'm on your mind. Secondly, we sure did get into it in that article....and I seem to recall you saying this:

"DF seems to be changing tune lately and actually reporting the facts"

Ohhh, so DF are reporting FACTS when the X1 version comes out on top, but they're "biased" and "Pro-Sony" (your own words) when their tech analysis articles favour PS4 games?

You Xbox fanboys are just unbelievable. You can't just pick and choose which are facts and which aren't, or when to side with DF based on whether or not they're showing yo...

Like I said, they've reached a new low.

And to think, they used to be one of my favourite devs...

Holy shit! How the HELL did they think that shipping a game that runs in the low-mid 20's was acceptable?

Ubisoft have fallen to a new low. I'm speechless.
