Why Graphics Comparisons are No Good

Many sites like IGN and Digital Foundry have been doing graphical comparisons of video games between PS3 and Xbox 360 and now with the next-gen consoles but now they are useless.

Compressed youtube video makes it harder to tell, but difference exist and are huge.

Sarcasm4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

The author is trying to articulate that compressed youtube footage isn't the best method of trying to view comparisons. I actually agree. In order for these comparisons to have any real weight, they need to start pumping out high bitrate videos for people to download just like the ones at gamersyde.com, or similar to the video Guerrilla games released for KZ Shadow Fall.

That's probably where a lot of these silly comments about "There's no difference between 720p and 1080p" comes from.

Digital Foundry would be wise to start using direct feed methods of comparison. As visual fidelity improves, it will be harder to discern any real difference with those small patches of muddy pixelation.

Z_-_D_-_34242d ago

Unless there's a huge difference between any versions, I would only take a graphics comparison seriously if it were direct feed footage captured from both versions blown up on my '46.

Because chances are XB1 is going to wind up losing most of them.

They really didn't matter all that much with the PS3 and 360, but they were still used as a deciding factor when buying games.

It will always be PC > PS4 > X1

In my house it will be PS4->PC->PS3->Vita -> PSP->HTC Android->iPod->Texas Instruments Calculator->Microwave owen.

@Aggesan

"but they were still used as a deciding factor when buying games.'

Realistically not all the time. But you are correct this gen was the pinnacle or "deciding factor" when it came to which version to own.

But in the whole grand scheme of things it wasn't as black and white as many were thinking. PlayStation fans still bought COD for their system despite problems on that version.

And I think the word preference should be used strongly as well.

But again you are right though.

The Outerhaven writes: Split/Second was the explosive arcade racing game that outshone Ridge Racer and Burnout. That is, until Disney shut it all down before a sequel could happen.

As a kid i had some heart attacks playing this game. The soundtrack right on point with those close calls. I love this game.

shadowhaxor2h ago

Agreed. I still love it and play it often. Still sucks that Disney was like, nah... this game didn't do well, when it did well against other racers and reviewed well.

Split/Second was one of the game I enjoyed playing. In fact it's still the most popular video on my YouTube channel. It's a gameplay of Split/Second posted 15 years ago. This past month 25 people viewed it. Split/Second is a favourite amongst racing gamers worldwide.

That controller looks like a cheap knockoff... it should have been a proper DS5 design.

...the VR aspect in 7 IS the redeeming quality.

Abriael10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

what a dumb take.

Ace Combat 7 is one of the best games of the past generation. It doesn't need VR gimmicks to "redeem" it.

TheColbertinator2h ago

I have enjoyed nearly every single Ace Combat to death (except that helicopter shooting one) and have never needed VR once to enjoy it greatly

CrimsonWing6911h ago

Look, I’m a simple man. I see Ace Combat and say, “Yes!”

Abnor_Mal11h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Can we get a new Ace Combat, with full vr and not just three or four levels, for PS5 and PSVR2
Also if we could get a remake of my all time favorite, Ace Combat5: The Unsung War, again with full vr for every mission with DualSense and flight stick haptics.
