Decline PS4 wins the console war against XboxONE, yet it is a hollow victory as Consolesdämmerung is upon us

[sullynathan]

PS4 & Xbox Juan already do 1080p 60

With a lot of sacrifices in view range, texture quality, vegetation density, shadows, etc.

I guess one day consolefags will learn there's more to grafics than the number of pixels on the screen, but that's not today.

That must be why, with every graphically intensive game, the marketing is mainly about how amazing 30 FPS is.

You're right, PS3 games ported to PS4 sometimes look like they're actually full HD. In a way.

Dark Souls II looks better than Bloodborne, but that doesn't mean it couldn't look even better.

This is one of those things where marketing requirements trump sanity. 4k works better as a marketing gimmick than "better looking textures", not to mention is a lot less work on anyone's part.

If developers are smart, they'll forfeit this 1080p-upscaled-to-4K 4K and/or increased detail gimmick and just render 1080p @60fps.

Xbox Scorpio GPU will deliver 6 teraflop compared to 4.2 of PS4 pro, that's 43% difference.

6 teraflop is on the level of gtx 980 ti and 1070. So the Scorpio will have a powerfull GPU.

I kinda want to see what they will be able to do with graphics on a console with that GPU.

Might be the first time i get an xbone

Take Xbone game, render @4K natively. That's according to Microsoft, at least.

the xbone gpu is 1 teraflop so technicaly scorpio will have 5 times powerfull GPU. I'm sure there will be new games dedicated for Scorpio to show off the graphics.

MS said they'll keep all games in one ecosystem. There won't be any Xbox Scorpio exclusives.

Maybe not, but you will have better graphics on scorpio like the pro

I don't know why Sony and MS don't put pressure on devs to try more or at least have 1080p 60 as the standard for these new machines. That horizon game and Andromeda will both run at 30fps even on the new system.

Because the games would look worse. The retards buying these games only care about the surface.

Doesn't matter whether they are smart. Marketing will tell them what focus tests better in advertising blurbs.

It's not like console gamers can tell the difference between resolutions, they can say anything they want.

Nesbox (emulates NES/SNES/GBA/Genesis games) passed App certification for the Xbone, should be on marketplace soon. Will be interesting if MS stands behind this app when Nintendo tries a takedown (like Google did with Emulators on the Android marketplace). My understanding is that Apps can use 1GB of RAM, 45% of the GPU, and 4 CPU cores so I am guessing the Xbone will be able to emulate everthing from the N64 and below. If these emulators stay I can definitely see people picking up Xbones for this.

When asked if patches would be free, Sony Interactive exec Masayasu Ito told Game Impress Watch (via Kotaku) that "It will be different for each title. I believe it will depend on the thinking of each licensee," referring to third-party publishers. As for Sony's titles, "I think it will vary for each one of our titles," he said.

Pay up goyim if you want to upgrade your placebo 4K/HDR into lesser-placebo 4K/HDR.

Sony doesn't allow Fallout 4 or Skyrim mods on PS4

 

[Rahdulan]

Considering the clusterfuck it ended up being I can't say I really blame them.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Every multi-player game will be rendered at 30fps so PS4 vanilla users don't get shafted in online matches...

Fuck you sony.

That's impossible, plenty of current PS4 multiplayer games are already 60fps. They're compromising resolution for better framerate for multiplayer.
