    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I did not see anything about buying stuff that generates money in the previews and videos. The only thing I've seen on regards to that is taking over ships and adding them to your fleet and sending them off to do trade routes to sell goods and make money (that replaces sending assassins off to...

    Higher Resolution, more stable framerate, and some extra effects (Ambient Occlusion here) is "massive" to me personally. Though "significant" is probably a lot better word to use here than massive. That's really probably going to be the norm. 900-1080p (1080p will probably be the average)...

    Yeah, in motion it's way different. It'll be a lot more obvious too running on TVs and not all this really low bitrate web-videos. I wish someone had some real direct-feeds of high quality video capture to post, the differences would be a lot more obvious then.

    Well, this is roughly exactly what I expected from launch titles, personally. But yeah, people did not have shit for time to work on the next-gen ports and they're brand new systems. Stuff will get better fairly quickly though, especially on the PS4. The Xbone has a lot of devkit and OS issues...

    Btw, somehow IGN got Xbone multiplayer capture in their video. Don't think anyone else did. (And it's super jaggy) Thanks for the info Antarius - I guess I'll try it anyways when the PS4 comes out, hopefully it won't be pure shit on my connection.

    Lamesauce. I wish I could get a better upload rate (it's super gay for keeping a torrent ratio), but my only other internet option is Comcast and Fuck Comcast. IGN's video isn't such mess and their Xbone colors aren't fucked, but their player quality and compression is still pretty much shit...

    Btw, anyone have a guess as to how much bandwidth you'll need to stream PS4 games to twitch/ustream? I think I might try it to see how it works out when the PS4 releases, but I'm on DSL and only have a 0.892 Mbps upload.

    Assassin's Creed 4 videos should be up in the morning, possibly even in a couple hours. Hopefully there's no retarded as fuck video capture problems like there is rampantly for BF4.

    There's pretty obvious aliasing differences that will show up even more on a clear TV and aren't on a compressed youtube video. Pretty much all the commentary mentions it.

    The Xbone holds up fairly well in Single Player in the Frame Rate video. No one was able to get any Xbone MP Capture though, so who knows there. Both titles (major capture problems aside), look fairly good for cross-gen launch titles that they haven't had much time with.

    The crushed blacks look like what happens when you set your source to Full Range and set your TV to Limited Range. They totally ruined the colors on the Xbone feed, amatures. It also looks like some Sharpening settings are really fucked up.

    Yeah, those pictures don't show shit. Watch the actual videos of stuff, way different in motion. The Xbone version has tons of aliasing.

    Right, Cerny worked together with AMD to create it specifically so it could do that stuff with the memory and make GPGPU compute more viable and easier to do and to "future-proof" the PS4. He's why the PS4 has such a huge amount of compute commands compared to previous stuff. There's some custom...

    Yes, it's a completely unified memory architecture on the PS4, basically hUMA. They use some extra custom memory busses to make it work. This diagram is crude, but basically accurate:PlayStation 4 includes hUMA technology - VGLeaks Cerny, the PS4's architect, is a boss and it's some pretty...

    It is not separated out into VRAM at all. That's not how the PS4 architecture works.http://www.redgamingtech.com/playsta...-similarities/

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    The Xbone and PS4 do not have separate RAM/VRAM. They both have Unified Memory Pools. The PS4 uses fast GDDR5 and the Xbone uses some really slow DDR3 + 32MB of ESRAM as a bandaid for higher bandwidth required stuff.

    Framebuffer size and 32mb is, iirc, not quite enough when you start piling on AA and shit. Also not sure if this matters, but the 32mb of ESRAM is actually 4x 8mb.

    Resolution is impacted by the RAM quite a bit. You can't really do 1080p and MSAA with the 32MB of ESRAM and you're more limited to shader AA like FXAA. They'll definitely take full advantage of the "basic" hardware on the PS4 before too long, that's relatively easy to work with. Whether they...

    X360/PS3 games being so close in visual fidelity is more of a happy coincidence than a purposeful thing. There are no such contractual obligations for parity.
