I was going to respond to this earlier, but I was playing Sony exclusive
....But it appears many are taking screens at 4k or even higher, supersampling them even, just to show how great non-Sony exclusive's IQ is. The problem here is not non-Sony exclusive's IQ, it' s on PC afterall, it's the quality of it's vegetation, the quality of it's cars, the quality of it's lighting, the quality and abundance of it's effects or lack thereof, the quality of it's tracks/routes, the quality of it's weather and it's cloud system..In all these areas and more a Sony exclusive wins. Now, if you want to jack everything at max settings and play at 4k 30fps on PC, that's fine, IQ and sharpness will be great, but the base game devved for the non-Sony platform will still manifest. You will still see the plastic sheen on cars and foliage, the weak lighting etc...
At this point, I dont think a non-Sony exclusive is in Sony exclusive's league...Perhaps if a dev that made a Sony exclusive did a motorstorm on my favorite platform (a Sony one, of course), it would be a more ideal comparison, but then again...I'm pretty sure a Sony exclusive, especially if it was open world would not not be any different from the results we're seeing here. It would still be superior to a non-Sony exclusive in graphics because of the more powerful system and of course the developer (EVO).......
It's crazy that this non-Sony exclusive engine has been used so many times this gen and had time to mature, but there's not a great differentiation between the games in terms of lighting, textures, car models et al.....Even with one of the titles at 30fps, the exception being locales of course.
Hell, but here, all people are asking is for an IQ buff on a Sony exclusive, the area everybody wants to point at...A pro patch to heighten resolution, shoot up AF to 16, implement TAA or a better variation or better AA algo, 2160CB and perhaps we could talk lack of jaggies even against all these 4k PC shots with 16xAF in this thread. At this point, minus AA and AF Sony exclusive wins non-Sony exclusive hands down....And whereas AA and AF can be implemented later down the road for Sony exclusive if a pro patch surfaces, non-Sony exclusive will never have the quality of lighting, cars, track detail, vegetation and foliage detail, pom, cloud and weather simulation that Sony exclusive has.
So of course, at this point, an evolved Sony exclusive engine is of course not even necessary for some IQ upgrades, but yet, with all this evolved non-Sony exclusive engine from non-Sony exclusive developer has been talking about across the non-Sony platform non-Sony exclusive's game ....I'll say this, I'm not particular to openworld games like the non-Sony exclusive game, but I 'd love to see an openworld Sony exclusive on a Sony exclusive 2.0 engine or a Sony exclusive 2 at that, just to see how things evolve, but hey, looking at the circumstances with Sony exclusive developer that's not going to happen or even necessary because of the superiority of Sony exclusives, but a pro patch to heighten's Sony exclusive's IQ to PC levels is indeed necessary to avoid persons from cherry picking screens at convenience or only making arguments based on AA and AF levels......Hey, conveniently; no one is talking pom, lighting, weather, cars, cloud simulation, vegetation and foliage et al....Let's cherry pic a crappy lambo JPG and discuss from there...this is a perfect representation of Sony exclsuive you hear...At least, I'd like to commend Sony exclusive fans who have not posted crappy screens of non-Sony exclusive to make arguments. I guess that speaks for itself more than anything in this thread.....
