Lmao.
Can people stop fucking using that fucked up game (technically speaking) as some sort of example.
Not peaking on you De_Legend.
Indeed.

People coming into a performance analysis thread and talking about controllers, OS functionality, and friends. I've seen it all now.
Then there's the danowat draw distance conspiracy theory.

They remodeled the trees for the current gen release and those trees look the same.

What reasons are those? This won't be like AC Unity because unlike Ubisoft Rockstar will lead on PS4. It won't be a lazy port like Ubisoft's either!
Lol
I get second-hand embarrassment when I read those posts.
Like, why bring irrelevant stuff like that to a tech thread?
What are they hoping to accomplish?
Defense Force syndrome is terrifying.

Why are some people arguing about blades of grass?

Insane For Sony
I really wish devs of these (more or less) 30FPS locked games would leave an option of unlocked framerate.
I *loved* playing KZ:SF and Infamous at their ~40FPS average framerate and don't care if anyone prefers it clamped down to 30, I found the default in these two games to be far superior and to my taste. I just don't get why this option won't get implemented in more games. FC4 and GTAV would be obvious example where this would probably yield similar 40FPS average at the very least. It's such a simple thing to implement, and would make everyone happy no matter how they set it by default.

Absolute Classic! Yes that CPU bottleneck! We obviously can't blame the devs can we now?
I support this. We should have a choice.

Eh. I'd rather have native 1080p than more grass.

Agreed. Extra grass would be a terrible tradeoff for reduced image quality.

I know but it's obvious that the PS4 version will have a few advantages, more grass being one of them.

So is more foliage the main difference so far? What about differences in the city?
It does appear to have more grass, but it suffers from some nasty pop-in of that grass as you drive through it. At least in online. It reminds me of the old Tiger Woods games which also had moving grass but it only really showed itself once you got within it, which is what I'm seeing in the PS4 version of GTA. It's definitely not a pretty game, but anyone that played the older version as much as I have will notice the many changes to performance. Races that used to result in a ton of framerate drops are now much smoother. Lots of cool new lighting affects as well. The defense towers in the military base appear to be quicker with their anti-air missiles now. I used to be able to fly overhead and just drop right in, but now they fire almost immediately upon entering their airspace.
Finally ended up in a lobby that wasn't empty. It had 4 other people in it. Not great, but at least it's a start. Very happy with my purchase.

Both versions look good. Both full HD. XBone version holding up better than some expected. PS4 has a bit of extra foliage, possibly slightly smoother when lots of shit happens. Which you'd expect given the hardware.

Rockstar tech threads are always best tech threads.
We've had so many DF threads by now that you'd think people would know better and not complain when there's a debate about graphics comparison (be it grass, LOD, DOF, etc) and resolution or framerate.
Those types of discussions are mainly why DF threads exist in my opinion. There's more grass in one version? Framerate is 2 or 3 fps higher than the other version in average? Yeah well, that's exactly what people are supposed to be discussing here.

That grass would look like shit at 900p. It would be a shimmering mess.
THIS!
Also your damn avatar makes me want an Inca Kola. Been craving it even since visiting Peru but can't find it in the States!

We got plenty over here
I found some in a gas station when I was in Boston , it was like finding water in the desert lol. They just released a new one based on Chicha morada (if you were in Peru you definitely know what it is) callled "La moradita de Inca Kola" but it's so bad they are basically giving it away and will probably be retired in a few months.On topic: I hope the PS4 vs XBO comparison is released soon just to be sure what exactly is going on.
Oh.

You forgot the most important thing fun. Not surprised at the better performance on PS4 using Unity as a indication for anything is silly because of how bugging it is and the performance on all platforms not being great. Also wow and the foliage difference.

I know. Surprised to see the PS4 version with pop in that screen.

instead of leaping to analyse grass how about DF spend time with something their automated tools dont tell them;
"Curiously, despite a consistent update, judder can manifest a little during gameplay - a curious effect. We'll need to look into this a little more, but we can rule out frame-pacing as an issue, as the straight-line frame-time graphs in the video below demonstrate."
they used the word curious twice then just spat out the article anyway.

You're looking at grass LoD being lower on the XB1 version. That seems to be it really.

how can this gif be real if our eyes aren't real?
