I mean... Yeah, it came out over a year later for a higher price with more powerful hardware.
Are we also going to make threads everytime a game runs better on a Gtx1080ti than on a 1070?
News would be if it wasn't getting the better version
That's not how marketing deals work.
Devs arent going to intentionally hold back or downgrade a version of a game running on better hardware just because of some marketing deal.
That only happens in paranoid console warrior fantasies

Ha ha 2 years.
And only good for? Does it blow up, like a delayed mission impossible cassette?
Feel cheated?
So much in one post
If you can only enjoy a game if someone else can't play it, then your brain function is wrong.
PS the true exclusives have to be compelling enough to Trump power.
Pps nah actually Controller always comes first

very happy with what I play on my console the xbox and have been since the 360 how am I doing it wrong?
Good grief. I own a pro & X1X and I dont feel the least bit cheated. The pro offers a nice bump in IQ and really opened my eyes to the benefits of higher resolutions. Ive compared numerous games on both systems and yes the X1X is superior in every instance but the difference isnt so great IMO to warrant the stupid fanboyism that accompanies every comparison thread. Both consoles have their pros and cons. Neither invalidates the other.

Do iPhone 7 purchasers feel cheated that an iPhone 8 and iPhone X launched this year that are both faster with better battery life?
Nope.
Then why would console owners? Yes, historically, consoles have only released every 6 to 8 years, but that doesn't mean that they can't release faster if you have rock solid back compat and provide other enhancements to older games on top of that.

Not a single goddamn fk is given anything PC.the bumness will NEVER change, it only got worse..for the millionth time why would you bring PC (feel left out and not important? ) to a console forum where console gamers would not go anywhere near PC.. eww.. Should be stickied and locked first page on the forum.

So XboneX has more impressive loot boxes lol
Anyway, any technical game will look better on a machine that came out 1 year later at a hundred dollar extra cost. We're just going to keep seeing these threads.

I see the console warriors that need to validate their purchase have arrived in this thread too. This thread will get locked like the last one. GAF has really gone down the toilet.
Nothing remarkable about a newer more expensive console looking better than an older one. Just the same way theres nothing remarkable about my more expensive and powerful PC destroying both of the consoles with its graphics.

They should as they are essentially mainly helping Apple to keep their insane profit margins up, avoid spending money lowering production costs to be able to turn a profit while lowering costs, and buy into the hype and excitement of the NEW stuff (see iPhone X skyrocketing to $1,000 and still selling every unit they can make). In the world of apps not made by Apple, you will see not see a lot of developers having the time or resources or willingness to optimise for the new hotness until the userbase grows very strong and you will try to do it in your ever growing codebase in a way that does not hurt other device classes or make your code an unmaintainable mess of very fast spaghetti code.
There is nothing wrong with the concept of 5-7 years console generations (even less so now that we have the possibility of mid generation Pro/X refreshes to smooth out the edges) that are BC with previous consoles software. It is good to allow games to have an incentive to focus on new HW and for some rules to be reset.
Of course, if you want to think purely from a console HW profit margins point of view (and want to risk the "just copy Apple, of course it will be successful for you too" card) and you see nothing wrong with AAA publishers becoming bigger and bigger and merging/consolidating into mega AAAA ones then sure, who are console generations helping...
Until we have a Quantum Computing for the masses breakthrough, advancements in computing are slowing down (it takes longer and loger to double performance to put it simply) and costing more and more to achieve (see the transition from 90nm to 45nm and now from 16nm to 7nm and further... look at the already high cost of migrating to 300mm wafers and now to even bigger ones).
Technology tells you clearly "releasing new HW more and more frequently does not make practical sense for a performance point of view" and yet some customers angrily yell for manufacturers to make new HW and then they buy it... but again, just because Apple does it, it does not mean that it works for everyone else... A lot of companies have the "if it works for Apple it must work for us too..." mentality and it is dangerous.

You have one major point backwards. You argument that releasing new consoles that completely break compat with last generation helps the mega corps.
This is just factually wrong. The generation break was one of the hardest things for Indies. Big companies could just hire up and throw more people at the problem of developing for the new generation and easily take advantage of any of the new hardware, special characteristics, etc...
Indies cannot. Even worse, many Indies get burned because their title got delayed and now releases after the new generation started and to port it to the new generation would require them buying new dev kits, more tweaking for the new HW architecture, etc...
Now, just like on PC, Indies can build up and just release when ready. If new HW comes out, they can recompile for the new HW and at a minimum get the extra perf improvements, IQ improvements like AF 16x, and resolution buff. All of this for maybe a day or two worth of work as opposed to months with a console generation switch.
Beyond that, while you may not think that people should be buying the smaller improvements with iPhones and such year after year, the fact is that they do and are happy with the improvements. The same will very likely hold true for consoles if handled well by the designers and manufacturers.
I know as a consumer, I look forward to a more steady stream of improvements every 2 to 4 years as opposed to having to wait 6 to 8 to get anything new.

Still dynamic. We have to stay accurate here. Also you have to be specific at what settings the 1X is playing it at compared to the PC you want him to theoretically build. These things matter when youre talking about cost and build of a PC.

I have to say, it looked like ass on my Pro in the beta, looked less than 1080p (though I was wrong, same with I thought the Batman game was 900p, that looked blurry/soft too). Can you turn off the shitty effects like CA and stuff?
Though with this type of game the massive pixel difference between 1440p and 4k doesn't make that much of a difference because there's not a lot of jaggies, same with CoD WWII (though obviously the pixel count difference is huge). The extra effects and stuff are very welcome.
I don't believe so, no.

Thankfully you can.
I also had the same issue with the beta on my PS4 Pro, but I've seen the final game and it's much improved.

Ooh nice, it's like BF1? You can finally turn that shit off on that, thank God, looks so much better without it. No idea why they would add that crap.
Though to be honest with EAs recent stuff, I think I can wait until this game drops a lot in price before picking it up if at all.

NEXT LEVEL lame™
I'd say that's a smart idea. I'm personally really enjoying the game, but because of the grind I can't recommend someone picking it up right away unless they're a huge Star Wars fan, especially since they've already said it's going to be discounted during the weekend The Last Jedi is out.

I noticed The Evil Within 2 was only £25 on PSN already but if I got it I'd preferably get the disc version (I got Dishonored 2 for £18 at launch).
Might only take a few weeks for it to drop to a good price. Even then though, with their talk of adding back their shit... I might not get it at all. (CoD WWII, despite its buggy crap, is pretty good).

Did PS3 owners feel cheated when PS4 launched? Unless PS5 launches in 2019, no one should have an issue, except for maybe pro owners who might feel cheated for buying the Pro and PS5 launching shortly after lol, it's a double edge sword.
Glad to see someone got the reference!
Also Sony fans aren't coddled like little babies anymore

Oh, what's the release date for the PS5, do tell!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to picking this up when it's on a decent sale. I had a go on when I was at a mates house and it looks fantastic (PS4 Pro).
I would love a 2 or 3 year console cycle.

Would you care to elaborate? Because if you're thinking what I think you're thinking then your logic is pretty flawed considering it could technically be applied to Sony and PC as well.
yeah i'm waiting for a price drop, been playing with EA Access and it looks amazing!

So now we're wishing for DF to stop doing their comparison videos? Because all of a sudden you think they're "bullshit"? And now we're equating double the pixels as "some extra pixels"?
