Virtual tests are so bogus... programmable algorithms can be very good and also god awful.
What did it use the Esram for in the equation? Rendering video or opening a multipage low quality PDF, just a stress test?
Was the algorithm specifically designed to test standalone hardware specifically for custom programming?
Does it target individual hardware functions and simply calculate a few numbers? Does it do a theoretical calculation based on...
It's great they managed to sit semi capable GPU and CPU's on the same chip. Even if at a low clocking speed.
SOC's have come a long way. I guess the most limiting factor is that they were being used primarily for phones and tablets where battery life was an issue.
I still wish it was a bit more straightforward getting accurate benchmarks for both consoles. API's allow for better use of the tools available and the more streamlined these are in ...
Someone should really talk more about humans and visual perception.
FPS is definitely noticeable, halo to cod for example, one handles like a truck, the other a shopping trolley...
But why not locked 48fps? That's still double youtube encoding? (Which is being implemented thanks to the creation of next gen consoles and streaming)
Resolution is debatable... Yeah more pixels may make for slightly better quality, but I personally feel that t...
With respect to previous comments...
Ps4 users have had watch dogs marketed towards them since 2 x E3s ago.
Not saying everyone has but I see a lot more of my friends with neither console... Or both.
I deduct that people preferring to play it on the ps4
Xb1 players may boycott the game, or pick it up preowned later on... There are other games approaching in the next coming months that could be must buys. A majority of next gen players still use there o...
Nice to hear something good said of MS from an Indie developer
Shoulda played Halo when it was in it's prime then ;)
Show me back-wards compatibility and DLNA features and I'll gladly partake in a purchase.
I'd like more features INCLUDING the features from the predecessors please.
Some stuff was supposed to be available day one, still not available?
Wasn't the original Gameboy (grey brick) 120 beans?
It's why my brothers and dad used to rock Tetris on 4 player :P
I've still got so much stuff to update prior to getting a next gen console... Especially considering you have to buy content at full price.
I need, ssd's for my desktop and MacBook. A new guitar effects pedal and a protools upgrade... New mixer and cabling too, new pc graphics card, MOT and service for my car.
Too much stuff that takes the priority for now, will likely get a one when I'm done though :3
I don't care for the resolution.
As long as they provide a solid user experience, I will be pleased.
No bugs, no hacks, minimal service D/c's, no game breaking tactics, lack of balanced weapons, player versitility and thorough UI planning.
Obviously, the game being fun is a big issue... but the prior will decide if the game has legs or not!
No one cares... move on
I personally feel Kinect is over-developed.
A simple web-cam was all that was ever needed, nonetheless if it was to take off, it's capabilities are there to be developed further.
I'm not even the least bit enthralled by VR. It's another gimmick we're going to be suffering through.
Ive said it once before but the last thing I want is my missus to come home from work to see me blindfolded, wielding two multi-coloured tacky LED ...
Surely it depends what the ESram is being used for.
If it's used to store tiled textures and shadow maps etc... it shouldn't be a problem.
But no... probably won't be able to fit a 4K frame buffer into it.
It's funny how people say DDR3 has low band width.... but the general speed of DDR3 in desktop computing is averaged at 1600MHz.
I bought a MacBook 3 years ago and it shipped with 4Gb 1033MHz clocked ram. <...
Well duuuuuh!
MS makes billions out of it's operating systems, patents and software ecosystems!
That's where there money is, its the reason they can afford to invest in telephony, tablets and consoles!
He cares more about the company then the gamers do.
Well... it'll look similar... but not exactly the same.
Linear upscaling would surely produce much better results then trying to something clever.
I imagine there is a visual plateau based around a logarithmic scale.
Visual fidelity/image clarity between 480 and 720, will be much more noticeable then the difference between 1660 and 2160.
Yeah, you can run some numbers through a calculator and compare total pixel differenc...
Perhaps they're just finishing up the work they couldn't accomplish with the previous console.
I suppose anything better would require a rewrite, not a remaster
Fantastic article... Totally changed my life
How can there be any confusion between the 'sliced carrot' button and 'burger' button
Select what vegetable to serve up, then start the burger off... The "game" will be on when burger is commenced
Both consoles will just upscale from 1080, it's a no brainer
Lets be honest... That's not really much of a remaster is it?
It looks like the difference between wearing my glasses and not wearing my glasses. My prescription isn't even that strong.
If the ps4 is over 5 times better then a PS3... Then surely the graphics should be a bit further along then that?
Looks nicely high def and crispy but I could be rewarded 200£ by buying a ps3 and the game preowned. Not to mention the library of ga...
They're both great systems.
They both have good games.
It's not a case of winning or losing, it is only preference.
Both are products, we are all consumers.
The console industry is a business and you've bought into it/
If you've made a purchase and you're content with it... you are merely a satisfied customer.
Just like everyone else who bought either of the consoles....
