Agree with you here. I’m also starting to believe that the XB1 has more to it than meets the eye. It would seem the inferior console on paper – and boy do SDF like to bring that up a lot – but looking at the games I’m not yet seeing a significant differences in 1st party exclusives. Certainly not the 50% more powerful claim. We’ll wait and see, as I have an open mind and look forward to the PS4 exclusives to blow me away, like Ryse’s graphics did on launch.

I’m of the opinion having played Ryse that the cut-scenes are the exact same as actual gameplay. Obviously you disagree and that’s ok too. I would expect studios of the calibre you’ve mentioned to be able to better utilize the PS4 as it will be further down the road in it’s development cycle, like-wise for XB1. I fully expect future games to surpass Ryse’s visuals including resolution and frame-rate. It was after all a launch title!!

If only gamers were rational enough to notice these things and actually take on board what you’ve said. Even taking into FACT that Ryse Son of Rome won the SIGGRAPH award for best real-time graphics, you will still have the SDF jumping in creating FUD left right and centre, and downplaying any positives the Xbox One shows. Having played Ryse some of Rome, I can testify that it is virtually CGI in-game gameplay.

As a gamer and an owner of both platforms, and as someone with perfect 20/20 vision, the XB1 has won me over in the graphics department. I look at my ps4 wit slight skepticism at this point. That’s just me. I hope you understand that this is not an attack on you, this is just from my experience, from what I’m seeing with my own eyes, the XB1 looks like its doing a whole lot more visually/technically than the the ps4 from the very start. The reality of popular belief found on the internet, in regards to what is expected of both platforms do not reflect real world experience. I compare FH2 to DC, both unfinished games and FH2 not only looks as good as DC but does a whole lot more. You cant ignore that. In my house XB is winning.

Why are even arguing this? Ryse won for best real time graphics. The game is only available on the XB1 at the moment. How, in the name of all things logical, can you come up with the conclusion that they are talking about a PC game that do not exist? Really though, this should not even be an issue. Awards are given to games all the time. It is not a problem or world ending if ps4 did not end up being victorious. SIGGRAPH made their decision which mirrors what a lot of pple who’ve PLAYED the game thought as well. If your opinion differs, that’s fine, but this Ryse situation is not that deep bra!

The proof are in the games. You cant beat that with a spec sheet. Show me the money! Done! And the XB1 so far based on the games that are made specifically for that system in mind, is outpacing everything on the ps4, 1st or or 3rd. The games are the evidence and sony must know it by now.

Stop making it sound like its much deeper than its actually is. Developers say ps4 is more powerful, so they just need to show us. Thats all. Give us something that tops QB now.

In other words, it wasn’t there implemented by default by Crytek. Some of the scenes are REAL TIME.

“So far, for first party games, the Xbox COMES OFF as the superior machine”. He NEVER said the Xbox is more powerful, from a reading of the specs. He’s simply saying that their first and second parties r outdoing Sony’s. U get so heated lol. Here comes Derp to Sony rescue!

“The Quantum Break reveal trailer was CG”. There r CG parts like the beginning of the trailer Fax. I’m not arguing about this anymore. I specifically referred to the parts where Jack is rescuing the female from the explosion…….that was debated on Remedy’s forum, wether it was real time or pre-rendered. Do some darn digging and visit Remedy’s Ytube channel, and THEY stated it’s real time. Derp. People were super skeptical, obviously from the visuals lol. Remedy said it was real time, unlike the beginning parts. There’s actually 2 different versions of the bridge collapse, one CG imo, and one part gameplay. We will have to wait n see on that end, as backroom Gamescom attendees have seen some version of the bridge collapse REAL TIME.

And yeah, they’re still working on the PC version, so the question would be how much of the game they submitted. Who knows. Point is, u keep saying pre-rendered. There’s a mix of real time cutscenes AND pre-rendered for long load times. Yerli talked about this already.

Haha. That’s what CD’s Darrell was referring to about the Xbox version, not me lol. We’ll see.

Actual gameplay footage of Ryse and Quantum Break doesn’t match up to the CG trailers or cutscenes in quality. They’re good looking games but no.

The Order, Uncharted 4, Driveclub, and pretty much any Naughty Dog or Santa Monica Studios game will trump Ryse’s visuals while running at a higher resolution and framerate.

Remember what Last of Us, Uncharted 3, and God of War 3 or Ascension pulled off on PS3.

We don’t know who actually entered the 41st Siggraph Computer Animation Festival contest. It’s impossible to tell what Ryse “won over”. The award is for Ryse, not “Ryse on Xbox One”. It’s a near certainty that they applied to the contest using footage from the upcoming PC version running at 4k resolution and ultra settings.

The award states “Ryse is an eight hour game with an additional 110-minutes of linear storytelling content. The submission shows gameplay and cutscenes, both utilize the same assets and can be rendered in real-time.” Despite claiming the gameplay and cutscenes use the same assets, the cutscenes are almost all pre-rendered movies at least in the Xbox version.

In other words, this award is more about an unleashed PC version of Ryse than the Xbox version running at 900p and 25 FPS average with lower visual quality settings.

PS4 is the more powerful console, thus it has the potential for more computationally intensive visual calculations, that will generally be perceived as better by most. Ryse would obviously run better on PS4.

That Quantum Break reveal trailer is a pre-rendered CG movie, you’re wrong.

Sure there are good looking games on Xbox. It’s still not a more powerful console than PS4.

He mentioned PS4, I replied to him. If you want to complain about anyone, complain to him for bringing it up in the first place.
