PlayStation 4 is currently around 50 per cent faster than its rival Xbox One. Multiple high-level game development sources have described the difference in performance between the consoles as “significant” and “obvious.”
After years of development, Project Awakening is still nowhere to be seen. What exactly is going on?
I was impressed with the trailer and hoped to find out more and then it fell off the map with no new information. Not sure if it's vaporware or not but I stopped thinking about it and moved on. Maybe it was moved to a new and improved engine, moved to PS5 development and suffers the long Dev times that many games had/have suffered from lately. Who knows. But we'll see.
As for gaming bolt, that video was trash. A long winded video that says nothing for 7 minutes going back and forth on it may or may not still exist and just kept going and going and going trying to produce an informative video with barely any information. Like an article with a word quota that's just paragraphs of nothing. Showing me that they haven't gotten any better at game journalism. If we can even call it that.
One of the directors for the game already said that game was still being worked on just last month....

Just how shock-ing is it?
EA has come under fire for making unexpected changes to its FC 24 Team of the Season unlocks.
Stop buying the fucking game! It is no secret that the game is based around opening packs that need to be bought with real money if you want to be competitive. Yes I know, you have the chance to get the cards without investing real money, but that is a real grind and you still may never get the cards you want. This is not new and it will not change if people keep buying the game/packs.
"Sony and Microsoft are each still working on the graphics drivers for each console, and Xbox One is lagging behind in this regard – Microsoft “has been late on their drivers and that has been hurting them,” said one source. Another described Xbox One’s graphics drivers less charitably as “horrible”.
Sounds to me like Microsoft wasnt ready for a 2013 launch and Sony forced their hand.
"One basic example we were given suggested that without optimisation for either console, a platform-agnostic development build can run at around 30FPS in 1920×1080 on PS4, but it’ll run at “20-something” FPS in 1600×900 on Xbox One. “Xbox One is weaker and it’s a pain to use its ESRAM,” concluded one developer."
Ouch, thats a pretty damn big gap if its true.
I seriously hope that this is all just software related and that the hardware didnt get rushed, cause then a RROD repeat would not surprise me.
Cheaper
better spec
better games
better support throw the up coming years
better "value" with PS+
the best in house devs
PS4 FTW!
“It would be totally fine for us to make one version prettier without any political difficulties but it usually doesn’t make financial sense,”they said, “unless it’s a very simple tweak.”
*gets hot in here*

Pretty much what we're used to hearing.Just even more confirmation.Also note that, any praise you hear from Xbone devs or devs trying to be neutral never say Xbone looks better or is more powerful.
They say things like, the difference is "negligible", they're "pretty much" the same, not "that" big a difference or "kind of similar"
The best they can do is try to reach parity.Some people are in for a rude awakening in the next few years lol.
Also this little tidbit -
"if the PS4 version shipped with an obviously superior resolution and framerate; better to “castrate” the PS4 version and release near-identical games to avoid ruffling any feathers."
Ugh.That is my main concern.I should not have to suffer because MS is shoddy and making a decent console.
This is going to get hot fast
