I just have to add that I saw Battlefield 4 screenshot comparisons and PC blew the new consoles out of the water. I'm amazed that they couldn't implement something that comes close to high-end PC GPUs. Is it really that hard?

Fuck dof, motion blur and adjustable fovs based on speed. Anytime I see people like Vaclav lauding those shitfects I wonder if people are walking around with dysfunctional occipital lobes that fuck with their vision constantly.

Fuck dof in particular because it tries to tell me what in my fov I should look at. Just render shit in my fov and if I want to see a blurry pile of shit I will unfocus my eyes or punch the back of my head.

So, just need to do a quick derail.

What ever became of EverQuest Next? I know a lot of us were all in during the opening announcement with that sand art bullshit, but what else has come out as far as the game is concerned? I don't want to read the 1000+ page post about it in the other forum. Anyone wanna do a vague synopsis?

They all lost their collective shit screaming about raccoon ninja pirates or something. Said they were done with the game and started collecting drugs for Brads vapestarter. Then dropped a hundred bucks on landmark alpha.

I prefer consoles because they work right out of the box

You watch too many movies and TV to claim you hate DOF.

Why would you want something to emulate tv instead of real life?
Same thing applies in real life. Hold your fingers in front of your eyes and focus on them, notice the background goes out of focus? It is a lot more subtle but same idea. It is actually photographic/cinema technique that it is trying to emulate. The blurriness is what cinematographers call bokeh. You won't see it being used while playing as it is mostly used during cut scenes etc.

I don't mind DOF used sparingly but motion blur is the suck. I don't know why devs continue to use it.

I don't care to be the lubricant between whatever you and Gaige have going on.

Uncharted 4: I laugh. If I want to watch a movie and not have to QTE then I'll do that. Same applies to Ryse.
You're a fucking moron. Uncharted is a very action heavy series and you do not spend much time watching cutscenes. Just stop posting.


Also you people are idiots for arguing over a game like NFS Rivals, that's like arguing over Madden. Shit that doesn't push systems isn't going to be much different.

The difference is blatantly obvious in more resource intensive games though like AC4 and BF4, and it's even obvious in CoD. The gap on those games is only going to grow wider too, because the PS4 has a ton of potential power due to its custom buses for huma and the gpu being tailored for GPGPU compute. That's shit the Xbone just can't do with its terrible ESRAM setup and its GPU that is much weaker to begin with plus did not have any extra custom ACEs added to it.

The whole "everything is going to have total parity" nonsense that was floating around is also clearly not true already. Rushed launch PS4 games are already often showing big gaps in resolution plus having nice extra stuff in them like HBAO, far better Anti-Aliasing, etc. People are already using the PS4's extra power on launch games and it's going to continue happening and grow.

Note: I won't defend motion blur, that shit sucks. Unless theres a damn good reason for it like Flash's superspeed

Meh I consider anyone that plays a game available for PC on a console instead a moron or idiot, so ... :p Can't compete with the master race.

PC neckbeard hipster nerds don't really have a place in this thread. That's pretty much how I view every person who makes the stupid "PC master race" comments.
