I think we should totally draw conclusions about the hardware based on one neutered racing game.

Why not? We've been drawing them on barely any released games, shitty exclusives and launch OS software. All of which is due to change. Why should we stop drawing retarded conclusions now when it benefits the Xbox One?

No, we're basing them on fucking facts about the hardware and their specs, those aren't changing.

I'm personally anxious for PS4 announcing Gaikai official timeframes personally - loving the PS4 already but so many cords right now keeping the PS3 hooked up too (only have 2 opticals so have to run the PS3 and TiVo through TV optical via HDMI now - blech) - plus wife has a friend who would happily make use of one of our PS3s that we'd be able to gift off once we're both PS4'ed.

Gauge walked into this one lol

Hardware and specs do not mean shit when developers consistently develop to the lowest common denominator.

50% less oomph on the GPU side of things ignoring other factors like OS overhead, etc is something that cannot be "fixed" - all it can end up with is settings that some people may or may not be able to see.

To me, the videos are plain as day that the colors are better on the PS4 version (XO is a bit unnaturally bright to me) and the filtering is far better, and I can personally tell while it's in motion. The wife glanced at about a minute of it however and with her shitty vision she can't tell a difference however. (Note: This is running it on my 27" 1080p PC monitor - perhaps if I bothered to 65" it she could, not sure - I can tell even on the 27" though)

Except... they don't.

You are so fucking wrong about everything it hurts the brain.

I feel like the last batch of Gamez just dropping fps and resolution kinda puts a nix on the LCD theory.

Well then I'd say the Xbox One is even MORE amazing since it's able to render NFS:Rivals in almost the exact same way as the PS4 despite being hindered with 50% less GPU power.

Microsoft does it again, so impressive. Virtually identical despite being so handicapped hardware wise. Xbox forever!

there have been some leaks and sadly it looks like gaiki will be launching sometime in q3 2014 in USA, so its a long ways away

Just banish Gaige to the rickshaw already.

Gaige owns two Xbones. If you add that up, it is more powerful than a PS4.

Kinda? It completely kills it. However, reality is unlikely to effect Gaige in anything.

Gaige · Dec 6, 2013

Sorry what were you guys saying, I was firing up NFS:Rivals so I could bask in thealmost identicalgraphics that my Xbox One is outputting despite being at such a hardware handicap. God saying Xbox go to NFS:Rivals is so hot! I wish I could talk to everything in my life and have it listen

i'll be honest looks the same to me. I didn't realize NFS uses frostbite 3 engine, thats pretty goddamn versatile. I hope they patch out the 30 fps lock on PC though, then may play the pc version instead of ps4

Fire coming out of the exhaust of all the cars; jimmies rustled.

I think most of us understand that launch titles (which also shipped for last gen) are not going to be optimized like they will be in the not too distant future. It's ok, though, you'll always have Rivals.

Noodleface · Dec 6, 2013

I hate buzz words and phrases like lowest common denominator. Has a developer ever come out and used that phrase in regards to the various platforms?

You do realize that every launch the LCD issues have been CLOSER than they end up being in the end, right? 360 and PS3 looked identical at the start, diverged preferring 360 starting Y2 for a few years, then PS3 pulled ahead in a few cases late in the game as "Cell" finally got used efficiently.

The fact that there's any difference noted in something softballing the hardware like happens early on is ASTONISHING AND ODD.
