In a clear attack on the graphical prowess of Nintendo’s GameCube, Sony has stated that the PS4 will have the best looking titles on any console platform. - PSLS
If it's true this is awesome. If Sony are talking about third party that's awesome too.
It doesn't really make sense though. So Knack will look better than Ryse? driveclub will look better tahan Forza? The PS4 has to be more powerful, surely MS wouldnt let Sony say it at every press conference without saying "erm excuse me?".
But the most powerful may not always translate to better graphics if the dev tools arent as awesome. Despite the Sony fanboys that will 'Disagree purely because they don't want to consider it, there is a chance that directx 11.2 is what the games like Witcher 3, NFS, are taking advantage of, not GDDR5. BF4 already said they are using dx 11.2 and the PS4 does have a bespoke equivilient but who knows if it's on the same level?
Bold statement from Sony, could come back to bite them. Let's hope their not showing sign of arrogance and are just telling to goddamn truth!
The ps4 is now known to have better hardware as a fact , it is obvious when devs where saying one consoles version will look better they meant the ps4 , I'm sure we will have elite24gamer in here spamming that random guys blog again tho lol
Devs have been saying the ps4 is the best performer for a while now , Sony know they have the better system , everyone but die Xbox fanboys know this too.
I'm sure the PS4 will have the best graphics of any console and I can't wait to get mine. But I'm still going to do a lot of my gaming on PC where the graphics are even better and there is more freedom and more options.
Gaming is just getting better and better no matter which platform you game on. These are exciting times we are living through.
I wouldn't expect Direct X11.2 to really take hold for several years. Reason: A lot of multiplats are making games for three platforms: PC, X1 and PS4. In order to make their life easier their engines will use something that translates to each system. In this case, it will be Direct X 11.1.
To clarify, DX11.2 is exlcusive to X1 and Windows 8.1 and the majority of PC owners still use XP and Windows 7 so they would be cut out. This doesn't make logical sense. You would have to make one engine in Direct X11.1 for PC and PS4 and another engine in X11.2 for Xbox 1 and Windows 8.1. Games like Halo will use it for sure but that is about it. Multiplats like BattleField 4 are using DX11.1 for everybody.
Xbone does not use Direct X11.2 its a not currently available. For the xbone. You cannot compare any of xbone 180 game graphics to killzone SF is in full 1080p 60 fps no xbone game is i In 1080p 60 fps or infamous second son Digital foundry said infamous second son has near CG quality graphics. Please stop
The ps4 doesnt use Directx.... tsk tsk. it uses a customized opengl api that allows for "closer to the metal" coding. That means code on the ps4 can be much more efficient if written properly
We all know that graphics matter but we all have to know that Xbox One will get an advantage in the gameplay factor cause of the DDR3 utilizing the CPU compared to PS4's hUMA
What a big surprise- sony douchebag spewing ****- But I am going to act like the n4g community and not bother with the validity of the comment since this is how we do. lol
You know, I'm fine with Sony pointing out facts about their console, or mentioning how they've stayed on point, but this is starting to feel unnecessary. If you're confident in your product, let your product do the talking. The last thing we need is for this to devolve into nothing but a bunch of PR, one-upmanship. Leave that to the other guys if they so choose. Let the PS4 do the talking.
Edit @Maria below. That's a great gif! I know the other guys are doing it but I just find it distasteful overall. It's a bit different when it's played for laughs like the PS4 sharing video from E3, but I hate when it starts coming across as boastful.
Letting the product do the talking is not enough. They need to sell their products with hype. Critical acclaim and performance is only half of the process, marketing is just as important. I mean look at apple products, it isn't necessarily the best, but it sells because they are good at pushing it. Any other company would be doing the same thing if they had advantages as well.
Yes, it is a PR move, but this is a business and both Sony and Microsoft are trying to get those still on the fence to look their direction. It's like Microsoft talking up their cloud feature.
Oh boy, Not the "OVER CONFIDENCE ATTITUDE" syndrome again. Knock it off, Sony!! Talk shit like that and if the competitions games get more more FAVORABLE review of games, you'll just end up with EGG on your face for talking smack. Just sit back quietly an just LET THE GAMES SPEAK FOR THE PS4. Let the game sites reviewers, bloggers & lensoftruth sites debate & battle about that stuff. Your making yourself look too CRASS by making remarks like that even before the 1st games even hit the stores.
Don't you think the reason they are actually mentioning this fact is because the debs would have told them that the ps4 versions of games are coming out better than the Xbox one versions ? Because I'm pretty sure the devs would share this info with the companies, shuei twitted that article the other day about NFS looking better on one console over the other I'm guessing logically he did that because he knows that it's the ps4
Ya i can see when it gets too much but i actually enjoy it lol after all those years microsoft mouthing off about ps3 and mad ps3 hate i accept it sony i just hope cerney is as smart as we all think he is and if he is the ps4 is gona be amazing!
You are right but drones wont understand, they are programmed to troll and not accept anything that its not sony related. Shhh you cant say MS loud here drones will jump you.
Nothing is stopping MS from responding to Sony on this, via the press. They won't though. Is it because they're too classy? Or because it would be a blatant lie? If you don't know the answer to that by now, you'll never know.
This is more relevant coming from Sony, since many expected X360 versions of multiplats to be slightly better, at least in the earlier years, due to PS3 being ported from that code. It's important for Sony to speak up if the balance swings in their favour this time around, as it will support multiplat sales on PS4.
PS3 proved itself. PS4 proved itself. While MS has Kinect and then shot itself repeatedly during E3, the 180s, and executives leaving. What more could you want?
So...its the same as now. When Naughty Dog and other 1st party developers create for Sony...it will give high end pcs a run for their money. When its multiplat, they will b quite similar. Maybe Sony will have slightly better framerate or textures but the differences will b negligible.
Naughty Dog makes some outstanding games, but they do not give highend PC's a run for their money.First party games on the PS3 have always looked better due to the fact their middleware was second to none and programming for the system was never easy. The PS4 is made to be easy to program for. The learning curve that kept games looking better year after year is gone. Sony previouslt stated they made the system difficult to program for so it would look better over time. With the new consoles, it's the opposite with the XboxOnes more complex architecture making it more difficult.
No questions asked.
