Re: xbox1 and pc games merging?


[re: deleted] [link to this post]
 
I much prefer 1080'to 720. It may not be noticeably different gameplay wise, but I find it far easier on my eyes. I suffer from eye strain and it's definitely better in that respect with heavy textures. I'm not too fussed about frame rate as I'm used to 30 anyway. DriveClub was criticised originally as requiring 60 fps as a racer, but I've not noticed any tearing on videos and the reviews of those who have received it early are generally really good. Project Cars which I will likely pick up after crimbo for proper circuit racing looks beautiful in the graphics department too, but noticeably lacking in background texture. That's fine for circuit racing and the reduced textures will probably mean at least 60fps on all platforms. Horses for sparse courses you might say?

I think the trouble for PC gamers is it's more noticeable if you're used to playing everything at 60+ and then are asked to go back. I've never felt it to be an issue on console to be honest.

You're comment about the slight power difference is incorrect though. You can't make the comparison on multi plats as they are publisher and/or budget led and far more susceptible to platform nerfing. Where you will notice the difference between the consoles is on exclusive titles and that point will be hammered home this year, either way.

I agree with my failing not 20/20 vision that I doubt I would see a noticeable difference,but facts are facts and if gaming journalism tells me the Playstation 4 version is better then that's what I buy.

The minute the Xbox One version runs and looks better then I have no hesitation in buying it for that system just like days of old when I bought 99.9% of my multi platform games for the 360 because it was always the better version.

I don't hate the Xbox One there is much to like about it,both just need some games that really justify owning the systems,there are just a few on each but nothing mind blowing,but I would say at present the playstation 4 has a few more than Xbox One.

I agree that it multi plats could be susceptible to platform nerfing BUT you can only really go by something that both of them are on, Take COD for instance though there is no way that they would have a lower resolution/nerf on the XB1 as M$ pay them a lot for the early map packs etc.

Exclusives you can argue you won't really be able to tell as not all games are going to be the same, Some will be going all out taxing out the console and another will be far more basic and able to max out on resolution and FPS.
Forza 5 is 1080p and 60FPS for instance and Drive Club is only 1080p 30FPS so if people just looked at the numbers then XB1 would be more powerful.

Like I've said before though I really don't give a **** about the numbers as long as it pretty much plays and looks the same and they do (at the mo at least).

Be interesting to here more of Forza Horizons and more of Jorkila thoughts and impressions,briefly he has said it looks really good but I would like to know more.

Since I'm not keen on Racing games in general,buying Drive Club has basically killed of any chance of me buying Forza,even if Jorkila says it's brilliant.

Since you have Forza Horizons Kila and have seen Drive Club what looks better mate in your honest opinion Fanboyism aside wink .

Come on ......Be Honest .....I'm all ears.

Having seen both I'm calling Drive Club and I would have no hesitation to say Forza if I thought that was what I thought regardless of system.

my comment wasnt aimed at you.

I agree the ps4 is more powerful than the xbox1, although that has nothing to do with what I was posting, which is a possible merging of games libraries.

PC and console are two very different markets and microsoft has only hinted that some windows 10 apps will come to xbone.

Really interesting proposition , not sure how it would work in practise , but this generation of console is pretty much a PC anyway and windows 10 being realised with DirectX12 that supposed to be the Xbone next performance boost .

Who knows , what's real and what's Hype , im not getting sucked into anything until it happens .

Still remember cloud computing and titan fall , which was a load of BS

Also Microsoft need to do something revolutionary to make the under powered Xbone a more attractive proposition .

And more features and functionality is how the Xbone was marketed .
