Maybe I'm alone on this, but I tend to notice that camera jitter while scenes pan way less when I'm actually playing games on my television as opposed to watching these streamed videos. (Speaking about previous games where this was a concern of course.)

PS4 is definitely a touch sharper, as to be expected with the higher res, but both versions look gorgeous.

Can't wait for this puppy to unlock tomorrow afternoon.

If PC gaming is so awesome then why is that downgrade thread like a bottomless ocean of salty tears.

Because PC gamers are upset that the developers had to cater to the lowest common denominator (consoles). You know, the same thing you were upset about with regards to Batman:

If it means the PS4 version is hobbled to match the Xbox I'll just buy other games instead. I'm sure there will be enough devs not pandering to the lowest common denominator for it not to matter too much if I give Batman a miss this time around.

You really are your avatar, aren't you? Just a sour, salty fanboy with nothing intelligent to say.

You know for someone that complains a lot about console people on PC threads you sure keep an eye and post a lot on console threads.

PS4 AA looks good

Anyone with the PS4 version can confirm that the patch only affects AF and other graphical settings during cut scenes only (not in gameplay) while improving the performance during gameplay?

"hello?" "this is vagina"
Why does anyone think AO was removed in cutscenes? It's quite clearly visible in the Gamersyde video. Look at the edge of the screen as the camera pans over objects and you can see the effect fading in and out.
 
They both have frame rate issues, some reviews report better and more stable frame rate on XBO (Unlocked frame rate, stays above 30 for the most part, dropping coming out of cutscenes and loading times), better lighting on PS4.

Isn't that literally the only one that has mentioned what you said? We will have to wait for a more comprehensive analysis. I put more stock in Blims opinion over this guys at present.
 
I am more curious about why the framerate is above 30 for the XBox. What kind of dynamic resolution are they using?

The video claims that the res stays at 900P and yet the frame rate is ~upper 30's

Maybe the dynamic res isn't actually patched in yet??


or it stays at 1600x900 most of the time?


dynamic results doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the higher resolution most of the time and switches to lower sometimes. could be the other way around.

Does anything constructive ever come out of these types of threads? Why can't people just enjoy what they have and leave it at that.

I know, I know, its the Internet. It just seems like there should be an age requirement. :)

Simple. I have both systems and i want to know which version to get. Thread whining and off topic pc remarks are the main problem in threads like these.

Did he even say that FPS is smoother on XB1? I though he doesn't compare between the 2 versions in this video.

Agree, waiting for DF analysis, buti wouldn't put one opinion over the other. They are just opinions.

Can you stop to invent things please? There are different people who reported too to have played both and xbone runs worse, I'd like to read what reviewer reported this assumption.

Wait a minute a random YouTube video now it's considered how different legitimate reviewers? Lolol wat?
It's not defensiveness you have reported some casual impressions acting like it was tech fact. Just stop it.

It's got nothing to do with "feeling better", I was just expecting a better source than this.

Like I said, I just posted a review that said XBO is has better performance. I understand that we need a more in depth analysis, DF analysis should be around the corner so we'll no for sure. You believe who you want to believe, me, I will remain skeptical until then, that's all.

Yes. But that's the last time I've really given much thought to Batman. I haven't worked myself up into an anguished froth over it.
in fact it's so far in the back of my thoughts I don't even know when it's out.

Remind me again why the PC 'Elites' need to come into console threads with their pointless bragging?

I haven't been in the downgrade thread laughing at all the whinging no matter how funny it has been.

A review is just an opinion just like any other, you choose to believe whoever opinion you identify the most. Like I said before to Mr. Gurish,

" I just posted a review that said XBO is has better performance. I understand that we need a more in depth analysis, DF analysis should be around the corner so we'll know for sure. You believe who you want to believe, me, I will remain skeptical until then, that's all.

That's not what you said in my quote but eh.
 
Allways the same joke : 'We' re waiting for DF'

Hey, guys, if you can't notice any difference, is there really a need of DF to tell you what to think ?

Just enjoy the game. I'm tired of these debates... Here on GAF, in French Forums... Everywhere I go there are the same arguments.

Maybe someone can enlighten me but it seems like a bug that the xbox one version has an unlocked framerate AND dynamic resolution. If you have a dynamic resolution system, it means when the console can go above 30fps you bump up the resolution instead. But when the framerate is unlocked you will never ever get the higher resolution because the framerate goes up.

It seems like they have implemented the dynamic resolution without locking the frame rate and therfore rendering the system useless.

If the framerate is above 30fps most of the time the xbox version should be able to run at more the 900p most of the time as well. Thats good news I guess. CDPR just have to lock the frame rate again.

oh so no.empirical evidence but rather mostly delusions?

not to mention they always come in an obviously console comparison thread and leave a snarky remark or two just to feel.good about themselves? pathetic.

they're the "mee too" crowd in these discussions. no one invites them so they let themselves in and add nothing at all to what's on topic.

You're saying this in a...graphics comparison thread?
 
You know for someone that complains a lot about console people on PC threads you sure keep an eye and post a lot on console threads.

It's jealousy I think.

He sees the simple console folk enjoying games and being enthusiastic about them on their simple consoles and he can't understand how he never feels happy or satisfied because there's always one more graphic setting to tweak, one more grass texture to be improved.

It's awful chasing the dragon of performance for its own sake. Tragically unfullfilling.

Just say no to Elitism, kids.
 
You're saying this in a...graphics comparison thread?

When a graphic comparison comes to a 'tie', why don't close the thread and go on something else ? Dozens of pages for nothing and a 'Wait for DF'?


You deliberately entered a thread about the differences between both versions, what did you expect? There's hundreds of other threads on this forum if you don't want to hear any of it.

Also, DF gives the full picture when it comes to the differences between all versions. So it can be important for people with both consoles, like myself. There's a lot of things we can't tell looking at screenshots comparison (such as performance issues), which only shows a limited and particular moment in the game.

I have both consoles and a 4 fps difference won't change my life.
