Do they forget that GameSpot was extremely Pro Xbox for multiple years? They are just trying to seem less biased and regain some of their old PlayStation fans back.
All that needs to be said about any article talking about, suggesting, stating, questioning the cause of violence in this world, where it comes from, and if any form of media is to blame:
War, murder, assault, rape, theft/robberies, selling of drugs, and any other horrible things that go on in this world all happened before there was any form of media (books, newspaper, radio, music, tv/movies, and video games).
Not one form of media is the cause of any of th...
And guess what game looks better? Drive Club (despite its' network issues). Halo has network issues too and it's just a remake of the old games... yet we heard next to nothing about that...
Drive Club was trying to introduce a new online system for racing but so far they have failed on that front. However, their game looks and plays extremely well.
Actually the only time X1 has more stable FPS in GTA is when driving in certain areas at very high speeds. Both have framerate drops during those times and the differences are about 1-3 frames. However, in many other areas of the game... the X1 version runs at 24fps while the PS4 maintains a 29-30fps. The PS4 version actually has better framerate overall, higher LoD, and additional effects that the X1 seems to be missing.
The funny thing is... X1 doesn't have a better CPU... It's clocked slightly higher. Sony could easily release an update that matches the X1's CPU (assuming it will not produce cooling issues). Even if they never make that change, the PS4 is still a more powerful console. If a game was optimized on both systems to their fullest capabilities, the PS4 one would look and run better. Not much better but more than what PS3/360 differences were last gen.
I will say congrats to MS for this achievement. Sony unlocked that trophy back in September though, so congrats to Sony too.
Take back US: Not done, Take back UK: Not done. China... sure because only X1 has been released in China.
You my friend are delusional.

PS4 maintains a higher FPS most of the time with additional graphical effects. RockStar cut some of the graphical effects on X1 to maintain FPS. "Complex effects work, usually involving transparency effects (explosions etc) can also cause visible, sustained hitches in performance. Explosive missions with Trevor in Los Santos' outskirts show the biggest pitfall on Xbox One - with 24fps held at length during one shoot-out. Meanwhile, the PS4 has no issue with...
@HeMan76
Killzone SF amazing and the gameplay holds up very well (no FrameRate drops from what I've seen). I haven't seen Quantum Break or played it. FH2 looks good but Drive Club looks much better (I know one is open world and one is closed course). Drive Club has it's network issues but so does the Halo series remakes but it's not getting as much $h!t from you Xbox fanboys. I will admit that I'm not sure if the Drive Club issues have been resolved ye...
Alright people that don't read well.
PS4 suffers some frame-rate issues at high speeds in heavy populated areas (24-26FPS at it's worst).
X1 suffers in areas were graphical cuts weren't made. "It also suffers frame drops during downtown driving outside of the problem junction areas, whereas the PS4 remains solid. In order for the X1 to maintain high FPS were PS4 does, graphical cuts had to be made.
All Sony really needs to ...
@KNWS you are wrong. PS4 version has better lighting effects, draw distance, frame-rate (slightly), better LoD, and more environment details. Get out of here with your nonsense. All of the above has already been proven.
As far as lighting goes; both look identical (besides some of the additional effects on PS4 with lens flare).
Nice. The PS4 version has better frame rates at a higher resolution. That's awesome. See what proper optimization does?
Online is perfectly fine just as good as XBL.
Both consoles have some great exclusives and some not so great.
Plenty of games coming out within the next few weeks and very early 2015.
Controller doesn't need to be plugged in most of the time. I can play easily 8 hours in one sitting without having to plug it in.
Consoles isn't too expensive... you're just broke.
Plenty of games.
I believe...
I enjoyed your article. You bring up a valid point. They could have a story with different characters and their struggles and then towards the end of the game or middle of the game... meet up with Joel and Ellie where the Last of Us ends. Or do something completely different or make an completely different game and leave The Last of Us alone.
Maybe a prequel leading up to what caused this outbreak... IDK... Either way, great article, I enjoyed the read.
@CaptainObvious878
You must not visit many forums... They go berserk over much smaller differences... Remember when PS3 versions of multiplat games weren't as good? That changed later down the line but for the first few years it was X360 more powerful (when it really wasn't). Developers didn't know how to optimize or didn't want to spend the extra time optimizing the PS3 versions. Now since both systems are pretty close to the same... just one has more po...
And you guys bashed PS4 for 2-5fps lower in ACU? When that's a horribly optimized game on all platforms (PS4 has higher FPS in cut-sceens. GTA5 on PS4 has higher LoD, more foilage, better frame-rate, better draw distance, and waiting for confirmation on denser population/traffic...
PS4 has had one poorly optimized multi-platform title and all the X1 fans thought the XB1 was all of a sudden a more powerful system? lol... Every other multiplat has performed or looked be...
I'm just happy that the PS4 version of GTA 5 not only looks better (LoD, extra foilage, farther draw distance, extra lighting effects, etc) but also has a more stable frame-rate. That's how you know a developer has optimized a game to make use of the extra resources. Also, I'm pretty sure GTA is a heavy CPU usage game too as not only does it have many pedestrians, it also has many vehicles (ummm ACU??). It's also using a last generation engine.
Wii version looks slightly better than the PS3/360 version. Not nearly as good as the PS4 version.

I have a feeling his primary language isn't English. After I re-read his comment, I understood what he was trying to say.
PS4 looks better (PS4 owner), XB1 looks bettter (XB1 owner), Wii U looks better (Wii U owner)...
PS3 actually had many titles that were better than the 360 version later in the generation when the PS3 was the lead console for development. Most of the time however, it was just ported to PS3, not taking advantage of the different architecture.
