ps4

 

Interesting read that. We'll see if they get the best out of the drivers before launch

 

eurogamer expo at earls court tomorrow...... cant wait.

finally get to play both ps4 and xbox one. all the major games are there inluding titanfall.
also looking forward to trying out oculus rift....

At least i will be able to see if i made the right choice pre ordering xb1 day one edition.

 

Well.. though i would share my thoughts. Played need for speed rivals on ps4. Looked very nice .. could see it was next gen. I liked the controller. Sony did a good job. Didnt get to have a go on drive club as the cue was mental. Did look good too.

played cod ghost on xbox one. Was ok. Typical cod. If you like the others.. you will like this. Played crank mode. Very hectic gameplay perfect for cod tbh. Visually it wasnt bad... better than current gen but not much.the mrs liked it though.
i played forza 5 which was awesome. Visually stunning. Definately next gen. They have improoved the feel of it and the trigger feedback works very very well. As your powersliding the trigger vibrated to feel like the tyre are spinning same as the brakes. Was quite suprised just how well it worked. The xbox controller is a nice improvement. Not too different from the 360 one really. Wasnt too keen on the feel of the bumper buttons and the xbox guide button bit but it feels nicer in the hands and the trigger feedback is great. Hope cod and bf take advantage of it for the gun trigger. Cod didnt use that when i played it...

also after a massive cue got to play titanfall......WOW. The clips shown dont do the game justice. Easily the best game i played. A very refreshing game. Because of the different levels i.e floor walls roofs and air the map has so much going on. Gunfire coming from all angles. Makes the map seem bigger than it was.was really beautiful to look at too. Very smooth.felt like a cross between cod and halo. The hype makes sense now ive played it. Very very impressed.

also the xbox one looks actually quite smart in the flesh. Looks classy. The kinect looked smaller than i thought it would too.

overall i liked most of what i played. Didnt get to play bf4 though. Run out of time. Gutted as i really wanted to play that.
also wanted to play fifa and pro evo. Pro evo looks really really good and has the potential to gain a few of fifas fans by the looks of it. The booths for pro evo were rammed. Infact everywhere was busy...lol

tbh im glad i preordered xb1. Doesnt seem underpowered....and i didnt see anything on ps4 that looked much better than anything on xb1 and vice versa.

i think no matter which console you go for... you wont be disapointed.

 

Double post im so excited lol

 

So thats now drive club, the crew and watchdogs being pushed back to 2014.

Launch day is going to be pretty dull on the ps4.

 

Ps4 for me

 

Microsoft have apparently surpassed the PS4 clock speeds and have also announced when you look at the spec of the xbone, triple everything you see as that is what the cloud support will provide.

However, they also said the xbone is more powerful then any PC.

 

xbox one for me all the way. but not coming out in switzerland until mid- 2014

 

There all region free so just buy one from anywhere as it will work from what i read, voltages may be an issue though ?

 

LOL

 

hmmmm
don't tell stu .. he might just give up

 

The new video with a guy switching through o/s via voice control looks super quick, i just wonder if it is really like that.

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/meet-xbox-one

 

note the ground textures at 0:44
The background at 6:00
The sun lighting at 4:05 (higher contrast, noticable on the road)

Most of this will not be noticable when played at normal speed. Also both versions run at 60fps with dips to around 52fps in places.


Here is a gif comparison.

 

I think the clarity in the xone is brilliant compared to the ps4 in that video anyway, i cant wait.

 

both look spot on to me. Any improovement is great

 

To be honest im really disapointed that the xbox one is going to hold the ps4 back again.
Its quite clear that developers will have to develop for the lower spec system so that it can limit development costs.
The fact that ps4 is capable of native 1080p with a 60fps rate compared to the xbox's 720p native graphics annoys me. Why not make the xbox full hd?
If youve got a decent tv then you woukd be able to tell a difference, especially at 50ins plus.

 

And in the gif comparison above you can see that the ps4 has far more depth of colour.
Xbox just looks similar to current gen.

 

Both consoles can output 1080p @60fps.

Its Dice that have made bf4 900p on ps3 and 720p on xbone.

 

The xbox one just upscales from 720p is what ive heard?

 

that was my first thought but i won`t do that.

-> i want to use that damn thing online so i would have to get a german account the day i buy it. i do not trust microsoft to be able to switch my account to a swiss when the one comes out in CH

so i`ll just wait...

 

Nope. Both can output @1080.
Forza 5 will run at 1080p @60fps apparently.

However, as with previous consoles most of the games will be 720-900p

 

When I played forza I asked the forza rep if its running 1080p native and confirmed it. It looked amazing and was extremely smooth. Im happy even if its 720p aslong as its 60fps.

 

Dont play killzone on the ps4 then. Capped at 30fps.

 

GG said this week the game has a variable framerate between 30 and 60

also looks smooth and stunning

Apart from BF and the order, I don't think PS4 has any further sub 1080p games confirmed?

COD should be interesting, if the rumours are true it's going to be 1080p vs 720p so no upscaling from the PS4, could see an even bigger difference compared to BF4

 

worth a watch

 

when i played cod at eurogamer it was on pc i believe. At least, thats what ive since read even though it was using a xbox one controller. If was a pc, then surely they would be showing off the best possible quality. All i can say is meh! lol It looked smooth,looked a bit more detailed than current gen, but not a patch on battlefield, killzone or titanfall. Im really not bothered for the game. Its never been about graphic capability in my eyes. The average person wont be able to tell the difference anyway. Smoothness is the key.

Never knew killzone was 30fps........thats a shame.....all for the sake of saying "its running 1080p"lol Give it a year or so and dev's would have a better understanding of the consoles and we should see much better stuff coming though on both consoles.

Just to add id much rather these developers concentrate on the game quality, making it more imersive,more realistic etc rather than trying to make it "look good"

 

I'm gunna get an xbox one, what's the speculated differences between the ones coming out on release day and soon after, compared to waiting until say January? I read something to do with external storage?

 

I would say that's more to do with software rather than hardware. They come with 3.0 ports so the hardware is already there ready...

 

30 single player 60 multiplayer. Which I guess is where it counts as you want it to be more responsive.

The thing is they are both essentially small PC's now. They are both x86 architecture which has been around for a long time so the game devs are fully clued up on how both will work. I don't think you will see the same sort of difference over the years as you did on the previous consoles.

 

I guess to an extent......Im sure things can get poked about to be more efficient. Everything is being rushed ( for both consoles) so there have to be limits. Just look at forza. I read that the forza team were given xbox one deleopment kit alot earlier than other companys and therefore have had more time to play about with it. They have hit the 1080p mark and kept 60fps. It looked stunning in the flesh, and dare i say it, looked better than driveclub. I know you can compare first person shooters to this as they are tottaly different, but what im getting at is they have had more time to tweek and poke at it. Its always going to be differcult for cross platfrom developers though....
Not only do they have a new xbox to deal with,they have a new ps4 too lol. Because the consoles are launching within two weeks of each other which is unheard of ,they have had to rush the games, get them looking as good as each other which cant be easy. They would be under pressure from microsoft and sony to make sure they dont look "worse" than the competition as it could have a damaging effect if there is a BIG difference.

It appears this isnt the case though as they are ver similar so dice have done a good job lol

 

also strange that killzone is 30 for single,60 for multiplayer.......

 

cant wait for my xbox one to play battlefield. Thing is its a xmas present and the mrs is only letting me have it early on the condition That i can only have fifa 14 (as it comes with my console for free) so i have to wait till xmas for forza and battlefield.......if santa brings them that is lol

Seen this video before, its pc footage so i read last time it done the rounds, although he said in the vid it isnt, just hope it does look as good on the next gen.

 

It's not PC footage it is what it says, check his other vids he went to DICE to play it on the consoles

 

Pack all the graphics and the wow factor into the single player. Plus larger maps and scripted events with more particle effects.

Then tone things down for the multiplayer.

I think its a smart move as 60fps over 30fps in multiplayer makes a big difference. You want the smoothest most responsive experience in competitive multiplayer.
