I can notice a difference even on my 1080p monitor, not sure why other than the XB1X clearly has better draw distance but in 4K those differences will be even greater. But even close up like the yellow truck the grill is much more defined.

This is how comparaisons should be in the fact they are using the same TV settings and exact same scenes.

Webbyy2759d ago

No denying X version definitely looks Sharper - a lot better shadows. best looking version. As expected.

That is why I am getting Kingdom Heart 3 on the X.

andrewsquall2758d ago

The lime green box should look horrid as usual next to all those awesome PS2, PS3 and PS4 copies of the previous games in the series and I bet you want it no other way. :)

I kid I kid, you clearly have never played the others. So while Xbox fans are delighted again to be getting a beloved franchise of other consoles for the first time, I'm sitting here praying to the Japanese dev gods that its not the utter downfall of another of my beloved game franchises like what happened when Resident Evil or Final Fantasy first came to Xbox and have been sucking hard since.

Jinger2758d ago (Edited 2758d ago )

@Andrew

Digital has no box :)

But yeah I bought MGSV on Xbox and FFXV on Xbox and will be buying KH3 on Xbox (if it ends up coming), but they are all digital so they don't mess up the look of the previous sets haha

"The lime green box should look horrid as usual next to all those awesome PS2, PS3 and PS4 copies of the previous games"

Easy solution, just swap out the sleeve from the green case and replace it in a case that say PS on it. You get the benefit of having it fitting in with in your nice collection with the added bonus of the "4K Ultra HD" logo on the box art itself. ☺

TankCrossing2758d ago

Higher resolution textures, already confirmed and attributed to the increased memory capacity.

phoenixwing2758d ago

@moldy I noticed no difference on my monitor they're basically the same at 1080p. Maybe at higher resolutions it's different but not at 1080p

4Sh0w2757d ago

Nah, I can see a *small difference on my cell phone at 1080p nothing massive though. A nice big 4K screen should show a big difference.

The floral pattern on his shirt is enough to tell me the Pro is inferior here.

Why do the comparison videos keep zooming in on objects ? When someone is playing the game, will they get a magnifying lens and do so ? Stick to the default magnification.

TankCrossing2758d ago

A lot of people view these videos in 1080p, and zooming is necessary to properly illustrate the differences in detail for those people.

2757d ago
TankCrossing2757d ago (Edited 2757d ago )

OR it is so much of a difference that you need to increase the zoom by 400% just to be able to display how much extra detail there is for people with displays that can't handle it in full screen.

400% isn't an exaggeration, if you were wondering. You literally need to zoom in 400% if you want to map the pixels properly on a 1080p screen.

Omnislashver362758d ago

Because sometimes you can see the difference at default, but want to see how pronounced or conversely subtle the effect is by zooming in.

I can tell that One X is slightly better, but I have no intentions on buying one for this game.

Kaiou2758d ago

Becuase Youtube video compression is horrible so by zooming in you dedicate the entire video "budget" to just that part so it's much easier to see the difference, in person, you will see it much better because the image is not compressed.

Father__Merrin2757d ago

Nobody plays zoomed in games. No doubt the x1 will be crisper but difference isn't huge or game breaking. There's absolutely no reason to rush out and buy a new console just to get zoomed in added effects

Looks very close to each other.

timotim2758d ago

...but the X version clearly looks better.

XtreemGamer2758d ago

The X looks better when you are standing one inch from your tv.

timotim2758d ago

@XtreemGamer

If tats what you have to tell yourself, but like the title says...the difference is big and the X version has now taken over as the best version on consoles.

I would hope so. Only took Xbox 4 years to catch up. PS5 will be beast

aconnellan2757d ago

"Only took Xbox 4 years to catch up. PS5 will be beast"

So it's bad that it took 4 years for MS to catch up, but it's ok that it's now going to take Sony 3 years to catch up?

Harkins17212757d ago

Aconnellan. Sony’s ahead of the game. Look at all the titles they get. Xbox was weak from the start and it caused them to lose tons of games. PS5 is a next gen console. Technically XbX is a current gen system. So your point?

Jinger2758d ago

I actually stopped playing this around Chapter 9 because they were fixing a ton of the story and such so I guess this will be a good time to hop back in. Should see a big difference on this compared to my launch Xbox One.

Six Times When Games Turned Into A Horror Game

Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom19d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7719d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

Final Fantasy XV Datamine Reveals Hidden Chapter 14 Scene That Was Cut

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125154d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501153d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne154d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989153d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga153d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989153d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga153d ago (Edited 153d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69153d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid153d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69153d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp153d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion405d ago (Edited 405d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled405d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
