A) forza is a sim, DriveClub is an arcade racer. Sims require way more power than arcade racers. Need proof? Look at Gran Turismo Sport running on the same system. DriveClub still looks better. It doesn’t have to calculate any of the stuff that’s sims do.... like tire deformation, temperature, air pressure, downforce and so on.

B) do you honestly think that 4.2 extra tflops, a higher clocked cpu and an extra 4gb of ddr5 aren’t going to make a difference?? Most games are hi...

If it’s true that’s awesome and hopefully the first of many.

Sorry I should be more clear. I have a Switch as well (in addition to the PS4 pro, xb1s and soon to be xb1x). My point is why should we have to choose gameplay or graphics. You can buy an Xbox or PS4 for the same or less price and get games that have excellent gameplay AND great graphics - and the graphics allow you to be more immersed in the story/world - as well as just being visually stimulating and beautiful. You don’t go to a scenic landmark or location somewhere in the world and base th...

Can you explain the rest of the work flow? Just curious to know how they board stuff out, what they model the assets in etc.

boy i bet the xbox players are super bummed they are missing out on this stellar ps4 console exclusive, passed down from the PC heavens. oh please, lord cliffy. grace us with an xbox version so we can stop enjoying this forsaken destiny 2 and other games launched recently. (laying on the sarcasm pretty thick here).

Karma’s a bitch, cliffy. I hope some newfound humility will guide decisions in your future. Not always great being the other guy.

So because Sony doesn’t win on any hardware model now we move the goalposts and narrow the success of a console to one sole category that Sony conveniently is doing better at right now.

Give me a break. First the fight was power/resolution. Then it was size/aesthetics/power supply, then it was features. Now it’s exclusives. Anytime ms fixes a hole, you guys dig another one. Yes Sony has more exclusives but exclusives are the minority of games anyone plays so it’s completely...

It’s not just resolution... and 4k is literally double the resolution. When you have a 4k tv, blurring and aliasing are nonissues. If a game is running in true 4k it’s near impossible to see chatter. But beyond that it’s better frame rates and more effects. Things like more particles means things like more environmental effects, more and better smoke effects. Better explosion effects, better water, higher fidelity animation cycles, cube mapping, higher res 4k textures etc.

Not in my opinion considering my favorite purchase this year was the PS4 pro, and my favorite games this year were forza 6, horizon 3, uncharted 4, lost legacy , horizon zero dawn, destiny 2 and gta5.

I own a Switch. After finishing BOTW it’s pretty much just been collecting dust cuz I just don’t care about most of the games available on it. Arms is fun but isn’t in it for the long game. Multiplatform games run worst on switch and I’m not really into a jrpgs or neo geo po...

The whole lack of QTEs is a great step forward. Well I haven’t played it but it sounds great.

Helps to read the article, mate. He is referring to it being like FIFA in that even if you were playing the same teams the games are always different; non-deterministic is a word used.

*EYE ROLL* what misguided piece of garbage. naive at best.

I’m certainly glad it came out the way it did instead. One of my favs. Lost legacy also follows up with a similar flow. Fantastic.

100%. The thing that made 4 great (and all of them) from a gameplay standpoint is how it breaks up the flow with variations of type of gameplay. Like when you’re about to get tired of climbing around looking for a way after a while those mercenaries roll up and now the game has switched from “maze” to shoot/cover which is a completely different energy and perfect to switch up. Plus now you have to run around finding ammo and guns as well which adds to the energy. Fantastic game. Good thing i...

Hard pass.

Lol ok. Cuz an indie game came over means there aren’t any? As an owner of Xbox and PlayStation 4 I’m going to tell you that the marketplaces on each console are vastly more similar than different and there are actually some indie games on X that aren’t on PS4 as well.

Ps4 has more exclusives it’s true, but as I’ve said on this site hundreds of times, there are waaaaay more games that aren’t exclusives than are and not every exclusive is amazing or a must buy. Take the lau...

yeah for sure but its nice it’s hittig those 4k targets and seeing it actually pull off some impressive performance. Developers seem to be really impressed with the hardware and it’s letting them add more fidelity and sparkle. Can’t wait til mine gets shipped.

I could see it. Huge launch and it’s better than the first destiny which ended up gaming a lot of fans and traction in the end. Seems if people liked it then and it’s shaping up to be a better experience now, the math adds up to a successful launch. I’m enjoying it very much, personally. Anyone know when the PS4 Pro hdr update will be coming?
