Numerous multiplatform games have a higher resolution on PS4 (full HD 1080p) than Xbox One (720-900p). While the difference cannot be disputed, whether or not this inequality matters is a source of contention and controversy. The contention is so widespread that it has been named resolution-gate. Some will strongly argue that the difference in resolution is negligible, others disagree fervidly. Regardless, resolution-gate has led to the common belief that multiplatform games are better on PS4 than Xbox One.
If this is the case, then multiplatform games should receive higher review scores on PS4. To test this hypothesis metacritic scores for all 97 multiplatform games were collected and analysed.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is uncanny. This school management sim bears a startling resemblance to Two Point Campus, especially when it comes to planning and decorating rooms. Be sure to add a window and a radiator, along with a plant or rubbish bin. Indeed, certain aspects are almost identical – it’s just like revisiting Two Point Campus, only something is…off. It’s the visual style that leads to the uncanny valley feeling, using a low-poly PlayStation/Saturn aesthetic. An odd choice, considering the 32-bit consoles didn’t have a great amount of management sims. The PS1 did have Theme Hospital though – with Two Point Hospital being Campus’ predecessor, so we guess we can give it a pass on its artistic intent."
I almost bought this yesterday lol. Then I remembered I have 1000 games I need to play and I would probably touch this once.
According to a well-known Spanish leaker, the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy will be available on Game Pass next month.
Abathor delivers a rollicking hack-and-slash adventure for fans of the genre, and it's co-op thrills can't be denied.
I believe it depends more on the performance of the game. For instance FFXIII performed better on PS3 than on X360 therefore it got better reviews.
0.71, wow, that was really worth reading
How low must one stoop to justify a system?
by your logic, points should be dropped on PS4 since it's not as capable as a gaming laptop. Heck, that is where a difference actually lies. That PC > Console difference.
Look how hard you try to find advantages between consoles.
Writing an article based on .71 difference in ratings lol
. . I thought reviews didn't matter anymore?
They should, yes, but they don't. For some reason lots of sites now just have a generic review for both consoles and don't actually mention the performance differences. Lots of things have changed from last generation and I sit here scratching my head trying to understand what's different ...
the example he uses is ridiculous.
.71 lol really?
although while games are performing better on ps4 most multiplat games continue to look pretty much the same, so the differences shouldnt really matter.
early on there was but now that devs are getting used to the hardware and all the xb1 sdk updates, all multiplat game will look identical with only minuscule differences.
