Hell the only thing the PS4 does better than the Xbox One is having more games at 1080p. It's a resolution the PS4 has struggled to reach and maintain and by that I mean the games are 1080p sometimes at the expense of a more stable framerate.
This is a lie. I don't know why people often say this because of one or two games that may have not been optimized suddenly representing the whole system. Most of the time, those games that "struggle" as you call it get's patched right away to be much more stable. Most of the time a game has a frame rate analysis and it might drop to 28 one time in some huge multi explosion set piece for example and then you hear gamers go "IT'S NOT STABLE!!". shyt is gross over exaggeration.
This is just not true at all. I'd wager less than 5% of games on PS4 actually have performance problems that was because of hardware. As a matter of fact, I'd bet you that almost every multiplat game performs better on PS4 at higher resolution WITH stable frames on top of better visuals. Saying game performance is sacrificed for resolution is visuals is another propaganda lie from Xbots. Their titles they claim as "performance kings" often have the same issues.
Titanfall was often presented as "Framerate is king" and even after their latest update, the game still drops heavily.
Five seconds in and frame drops. Let this happen on a PS4 game and it's "PS4 is weak as hell lies lies" and then you see that annoying "1080p/60fps or death" tweet posted by cornballs ignoring that dude who said that works for indie games.
We seen that on GTA V where the PS4 version had denser grass and whatnot whilst still maintaining 1080p/30fps while the XB1 version didn't have that option. Almost every MAJOR third party game is better on PS4. Don't let these Fox fivee spinning Xbots tell the story. You can look up any game you want and post it here and I can almost bet it runs better and/or looks better on PS4.
The OP tried to say The Witcher 3 is worse on PS4 when that's a bold face lie. He just simply saw "Uncappeed framerate for XB1" and assumed higher meant better even at the expense of frametime fluctuation which makes for inconsistent frames and tearing.
Here is the summary from Digital Foundry.
Having played all three versions extensively this week, it must be said PC is a must for its extras, as well as for its solid, multi-threaded optimisation across all setups tested. On the console front, as of update 1.01 the PS4 version is king thanks to a cleaner 1080p image and slightly smoother frame-pacing - though we hope its hitches are addressed soon in a patch. In launching across three platforms at once The Witcher 3 is a highly ambitious objective for the developer, but CD Projekt Red proves here that it has the mettle for current-gen development - whether it returns us to Novigrad next time, or takes us somewhere entirely new.
Having read that we see that the PS4 version is the best version on the console front though some slight hitches which also affect the XB1 version but let these fox five like posters front and tell you otherwise. Breh, y'all can't try and tell me about this stuff
I keep up to tabs on these things. Xbots skim and skew, i peruse articles.
Outside that the Xbox One is the superior device. It has the better OS, it has more features, It gives it's users more options, it gets more consistent updates and added functionality,
Nope. I don't find the OS better. I find it annoying having to dive into menu after menu to go somewhere and how certain simple things like a friends list is behind apps. I agree it gets more updates but that's obvious given the whole Windows OS thing it has going on.
it's also a better value costing less and coming with more. There was a time when the PS4 was the better value than the X1 but that time has long since passed. Sony is the market leader and they don't care anymore. They're still coasting of the pop they got from the digital only Xbox One fiasco. They aren't willing to do any extra stuff for their consumers anymore.
Bullshyt. Value is a
subjective metric. I cannot find a reason to own an Xbox One and anything you like it for would be a waste for me. I DON'T care about watching TV live on Xbox and I don't really use media center features like that on consoles. I have a PC. Tell me what does Xbox One have that PS4 needs right now?? PS4 just got DLNA the other day. PS4 on the other hand has features that benefit me such as Remote Play, share play and the other things both have such as streaming and sharing and a multitude of third party apps such as hulu and EPix or Crunchyroll if I ever wanted to watch anime(again which I'd do on my PC.) There's literally nothing on the Xbox front that appeals to my taste. What am i missing here? Is there some feature that's so crazy and cool i forgot to mention?? because it often boils down to voice gestures and TV. I've yet to actually see these "features" that Xbots keep harping on about.
The one game I like on Xbox (Gears) is coming to PC and Halo 5 looks ehh to me. I know I'd probably play it a few times and not play it again. Gears 4 looked like more of the same and literally didn't look "next gen" at all gameplay wise. It literally looked like the same old cover shooter that it's been for the past decade.
A prime example is that they've had a system in place (PS Now) that allows for backwards compatibility on the PS4 for a while but they would rather charge you more money to play older games you already own and can prove you own on their new hardware when they really don't even have to. They could allow you to insert older games into the PS4 and do a disc check and if you own the disc allow their customers to stream that game at no extra charge but they'd rather charge extra for that.
Breh, PS Now is NOT a viable alternative to BC. That shyt is cool but I wouldn't want that instead. A PS1/PS2 emulator would be much better. Architecture, if that's what is preventing PS4 from having PS3 BC than PS Now is the only solution. Other than that PS Now as it stands should be an optional thing.
As it stands now the PS4 is the only console on the market in the current generation that doesn't allow for backwards compatibility at no extra charge. It also happens to be the market leader. I wonder if those two things have anything to do with each other...
Let's be real breh, nikkas ain't checking for old games like that. Pretty much every big game that people wanted to play last gen has been remastered and again if you have a gaming PC, most of those games can be had on PC for cheap. Just like you often say remasters are a waste of money when you can get the game for cheap on older hardware, same applies here. Don't believe the hype, people aren't going to be heavily using the BC feature likee that.
