Final version looks sensational! Not sure if much has changed other than the time of day and some small texture/model refinement (the character models in particular look much more natural and believable in the 2014 version).
But the IQ of the final version is very impressive. Overall I think the lighting change for this cut scene was a good choice from a story telling point of view. You can make out the subtleties of the characters expressions much better. In the original foo...
I don't know where this misinformation about DX12 and the Xbox1 came from, but it's getting ridiculous.
I've heard everything from DX12 was developed with the Xbox1 in mind to DX12 will unlock Xbox1 extra hardware/performance to secret layered APU that will only activate one DX12 hits ect ect...
DX12 was not even primarily developed for the Xbox1. You will find thay the Xbox1 API will already have most (if not all) of the low level optimizations ...
What a pile of crap!
"But more than anything else, this indicates the Xbox One’s GPU is not as similar to the PS4′s initially revealed. Microsoft apparently has a deal with AMD but it means that the 7000 series Radeon isn’t what the Xbox One is packing"
BS! We have known for months what hardware the Xbox1 is packing. Several sites have reverse engineered both the Xbox1 and PS4 APU's and done die shots and done detailed analysis.
...
Yep. Exactly!
andibandit's comment is a perfect example of an Xbot response.
Immature, nonsense comment that completely ignores the facts. Has no basis in reality and has no real relevance to the topic at hand.
I didn't want to waste a bubble responding but it irks me that you took the time to post such a pointless comment and yet you clearly have no knowledge of how the CPUs in question actually operate.
Irrespect...
Oh ffs. I can see this is going to take forever for the Xbots to accept. It's an API update! Nothing more!?!
DX12 (or whatever features from it that cross over to the Xbox1) is not going to effect system performance in any huge way. It will bring some extra efficiency and some added features to the existing API.
It's just a software update people. I don't know where this idea that it will provide massive leap performance came from but you've b...
Agreed. I find it comical that people blow information like this completely out of proportion. I mean just go look at the DX12 thread in the Xbox1 section. The amount of misinformation and uninformed comments would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.
They make out like it is the solution to all the Xbox1's problems and now it will wipe the floor with the PS4.
Lols! like an API update will do anything of thd kind!
The same thing happened...
For starters the 1.6Ghz is the base clock. The APU can dynamically manage clock speed across all 8 cores depending on load and heat. The maximum theoretical clock of each core is much higher.
The CPU component of the APU in the PS4 and Xbox1 are virtually identical. They are both (performance wise) nothing special. They were chosen because they are low heat, low power, low cost. They multi task well and can scale individual cores speeds well. The real power of the new consol...
Sorry dude, not only did you completely miss the point of my post (did you even read it?) But you're analogy is complete shite. Comparing cars to a computer system is idiotic. Do you honestly think what you said makes any sense whatsoever?
I've tried to logically and intelligently argue a point using facts and a little research, but it seems I'd be better off just spouting random crap I know nothing about. Seem to carry the same weight as a legitimate comment on ...
Wow. Just wow.
I just read through these posts and honestly don't even know where to start. It blows my mind how gullible and impressionable some people are.
You people can't truly believe that DX12 will make a massive difference to the Xbox1's performance? Really? WOW!!
Now I'm not denying that it will not bring improved features and improved efficiency. That is just common sense. But this happens with each new iteration of D...
Bha ha ha. Good one. Sarcasm....... right?
I own both consoles. I honestly don't think the online MP experience is "better" on the Xbox1. In fact in BF4 (the game I play the most online) I find the PS4 party system and chat to be a better solution. Plus I find I have less drop outs and errors in general.
PS+ craps all over Xbox Gold. Just better in every way. Not saying that Gold is bad. Its not by any means. It's just that PS+ offers so much value!
As for the whole MS has a greater...
At least it means they are working hard to get the most out of the WiiU hardware. Most third party devs just push shoddy PS3/Xbox360 ports that don't take advantage of the game pad or the hardware.
While the WiiU is not as powerful as the PS4 or Xbox1, it is much more capable than 7th gen hardware. It sucks that generally only Nintendo first party games push the hardware to it's full potential.
It sucks that it's delayed. But the silver lining i...
Hmm.... kinda a silly title.
Ok so Infamous I get. Built from the ground up for the PS4. Kinda next gen (graphics definitely, gameplay? possibly, time will tell).
But Titanfall? How is it Next Gen at all? Not don't get me wrong. Titanfall is a fine game if you are into COD style shooters. Fun, frantic and over the top, but fun.
But it is in no way Next Gen. It's an ancient engine. It runs on previous gen hardware and both graphics a...
I'm not ready to write this game off based on some crapy compressed vids of an unknown version of the game.
These pics look too good to be true (maybe in game shots with some post processing for promotion) but we can hope they are aiming for this sort of IQ with the final PC ( and maybe PS4) builds.
I predict a day one patch for the PS4 version that improves IQ (similar to the AC4 day one patch). If the Xbox1 can handle this game at 920p then surely the ...
It's honestly a difficult question to give a definitive answer for.
First you gotta ask. What defines "next gen". If you mean not possible on last gen hardware then I'd say graphics are a pretty important factor in defining what qualifies for a true "next gen" game.
So far I don't think we have seen a "truly next gen" game (by the definition that it couldn't be done on last gen hardware). Sure there have been hea...
Explain to me how they lied.
They stated the MP component of the game was 1080p native. The MP game engine outputs 1080p native. Just because it combines 2x 1080i frame buffers in the render pipeline into one 1080p frame doesn't change that. Its just a different rendering technique. But it is still native 1080p.
It still renders a 1080p native image though. Facts are facts. The Xbox1 fan girls can spin it anyway they want. It doesn't change the facts...
@elliou
Its not simple interlacing. Its far more complex a technique than that. If you read up a little you'd realize this. But that much too hard isn't it?
@Testerg
The fact remains, this is still a far better solution than "up scaling". And it's not possible on the Xbox1 because of it's crap RAM.
All this does is prove again that the PS4 has the superior hardware. Not that it lacks power.
...
Lol. Disagree all you want. It doesn't change the facts.
If you want to live in a sad little fantasy world instead of doing a little reading and educating you're selves. So be it.
But honestly. Have any of you clowns who disagreed actually done some research into the technique in question to see how it actually works. Do you even bother to check the facts in the articles you read. Or are you willing to just swallow the shite you're being fed and s...
Don't bother dude. It's just another phrase that gets thrown around n4g, people think they know what it means but they are only parroting what other misinformed people have said.
There are many such phrases, and whenever someone tries educating the masses on their correct meaning and use they just get ignored.
I mean 99% of the people on this site don't even read the articles. They just read the headline and start arguing or trolling. No wonder ...
Lols @ the fanboys grasping at straws!
There is no downgrade. If both versions were at the same time of day you'd be all be praising how well polished the final version is.
The the only big difference in visuals is all lighting. In fact if you look carefully you will notice that the character models/textures are actually of a higher quality in the final build.
Also the lighting/shadows in the 2013 build look quite unrealistic. The shadows...
