What the developer wants to say is that by using DX12 they could restrict themselfs to Win10 and X1 only. The reason for that is simple: he believes that the more features DX12 gives, the harder it would be to port that specific game to another platform/OS that doesn´t support DX12.
I played both games side-by-side today at mediamarkt. To tell you the truth, forza horizon 2 has actually the better image quality overall at sunshine. saying that, driveclub has the better lighting at night as well as better weather effects. where fh2 trumps driveclub noticeably is anti aliasing. 4xmsaa really shows off. in addition to that, motion blurr in FH2 makes it feel smoother than driveclub overall.
letting graphics aside - gameplaywise fh2 definitely had the better collision...
make it 1080p on both.
What happened to the graphics O_o?
This looks significantly worse than what they advertised with. =(
it´s the fox engine in use here (the same engine used for mgs5 which was also 720p on x1).
the engine doesn´t support anything better because it takes no advantage of x1´s architecture.
in comparison, EA´s engine is more demanding and takes advantage of x1´s architecture to achive 1080@60fps. that´s everything to know what´s going on behind the scene here ;).
No, to me this looks more like Sony damage control. First, when their games run better on PS4, they proudly advertised it like crazy. Now Fifa 15 is 1080p@60fps on both platforms (like most big titles were on paar since the x1 sdk-update) and they needed something else to damage the opposing company.
The ps4 may be a great quality product (so is the x1 though) but the advertising company behind it is not. Advertising a product by badmouthing another is not the way to go.

that´s a much better comparison video. the only difference i noticed is that the x1 version has lens lare while the ps4 version doesnt.
i absolutely don´t understand all the negative press, even though the game clearly runs ~59,8 fps in average. misleading online mobbing. nothing more are those stupid articles.
WTF comes all the hate from? "Although the change in resolution does hurt the quality of the frame rate, Diablo 3 on Xbox One is now mostly equal to its PS4 version." WHAT BULLSHIT SENTENCE. the x1 version was running ~59,8fps average in the analysis video. the misleading media bullshit is trying to kill the x1. i have seen a lot in the previous generations, but NEVER something this ridiculous.
Many misleading articles in the case of diablo 3´s performance. I wonder if anyone watched the analysis video or just read the misleading article. In the video, the game clearly runned @60fps for over 95% of the time. the video was 5 mins long. there were about 10-15 secs or less of dropped framerates to 54-58 fps. calculate your average fps. its ~59,8 fps. so this is a performance issue for you? really? are you serious?
what do you think will the ps4 version run on average? 59,9...
The order in power needed for the given performance & resolution is about this:
1080p@60 > 900p@60 > 1080p@30 >= 720p@60 > 900p@30 > 720p@30
(considering 1080i@30, it´s about the same as 720p/30)
