It’s funny, my 3 year old machine can play BF4 1080p Ultra mode………..People who think it costs 1,000’s to build a pc as good as or more powerful than the apparent ‘nex gen’ have no idea at all. Not everybody follows and believes everything on the internet like sheep. BF4 on PS4 is definitely not Ultra and apparently is upscaled 900p to 1080p, this might change with a patch lol. If anything it might be ‘high’ settings which is pretty good either way, but it’s time to get over it, there is no PC elite and all that childish nonsense, just somebody who above stated that in reality on PC 1080p gaming is old hat. Just a simple truth. The architecture of the new consoles are in essence just old PC components anyway, GDDR5, been on graphics cards for how long?
Use your head, when you build a PC your suppose to have an upgrade path, at least that is what I do as well as many others.
In reality it doesn’t matter, characters are going to buy both consoles, PC gamers are going to still game, never been anything I wanted to play on console.
Nex-gen is good, it’s just not that good, delusion is a choice. Get over it, its just technology.

Indeed, a game custom-developed for a high-end PC would outshine current consoles, so why doesn’t he go and make one? Nothing stopping him, or is there? I’d wager he well knows if he wants to make money, he needs to target an install base large enough to support development costs, and the price of high-end PCs (as well as technical pain-in-the-arsery) prevent there being enough to make it worthwhile. If that changes, then PC will absolutely smoke consoles, but if it changes then it’s likely they’d be able to release more expensive consoles that would be more competitive, as there’d be a larger market for more expensive gaming machines, and the whole equation would change yet again.

Oh the irony, went to this idiot troll’s website, saw a screenshot of his upcoming ‘game’, looks like cell shaded 720p cartoony crap graphics that could be done on a smartphone.

And this guy is trolling about cutting edge graphics @1080p, lol, this Adrian Chmielarz is a f*cking retard.

Ok your comment is completely dishonest. Quake and Counter Strike are old games. The PC has been running 1080p as a middle-level resolution for many years for games a lot more demanding than Quake and Counter Strike. In fact the PC has been running games in 4K recently or triple 1440p monitors for the past few years.

Also network code has nothing to do with graphics since all graphics are rendered locally and not through a network of servers like OnLive.

Don’t get me wrong I understand you like the PS4 and the $400 price tag but you could also just spend the $400 on a graphics card for the PC you already have and receive a far bigger jump than the PS4 could provide. That is if your PSU has enough watts but those are cheap anyway.

In reply to guest. Wow, this guy is a PC elitist troll, and he is also a proper game developer? Suggest we all boycott and troll his crappy little game, see how he feels. What goes around, come around.

In reply to LOL. Lol, the Order 1886 is 1080p with cinematic black bars, and Game Informer said it had the best visuals they had EVER seen on ANY platform, not too bad for the PS4 that costs $400. And Deep down is definitely 1080p, not sure what fps though.

In reply to SwappingFrom360toPS4. Thats not quite fair. They are using tricks and fulld hd game does not show a qualitative leap. They extended the resolution but games look somewhat like this gen. Just remember that rain and faces in killzone SF. If you make it all like that, you can make hundreds of games in 1080p. And even thousands if you makes gmes like Flower or GOW hd port.

In reply to Eagles83. There are games like quake or counter strike in 1080p on PC, so who cares? Its not that simple. This gen consoles had several games in full hd : marvel ultimate alliance, sacred II This time game design, network code, sound etc require much more power than PC games seven years before
