do you play games or jerk off to the graphics
Yeah you're right, it's completely crazy to break it down per pixel. What next, break down per megabyte ? Are we still playing games or what ?
smh
do you play games or jerk off to them ?
Funny how people are falling for this major piece of baseless flamebait.
It's cinemablend. Flamebait and trash is all they write, no matter what side it favors (it will favor what brings them the most hits).
Not only that, they would wonder how such a thing could only happen. Sony took MS offguard in a major way, and even after all these months it's hard to understand, knowing how competitive these two companies are.It's a good summary of what has transpired so far across most of the major sites.
I think the comparison to graphics cards is a good one. If an AMD card beat the Titan and cost $100 less, sites would never dream of being cagey about which one to recommend.
Let's be honest, though. Flamebaiting by posting facts is just too easy when the rest of the gaming press are making such a huge joke of themselves.
That doesn't somehow invalidates this article. None of the big sites should tell it's public to not sweat about the details. That's bullshit. When comparing the hardware alone, it's obvious that there is a gap, and there is NO reason for an unbiased media outlet to downplay it.
People take gaming this seriously? Good lord....Good read. It's true tho - the downplaying is crazy as fuck. Let's look at the price advantage for each console and pretend EVERYTHING else about the games (framerate, IQ, textures, models, etc) are the same EXCEPT the known native resolutions. 500 for X1, 400 for PS4:
500/(1280*720) for both COD & BF4 X1
400/(1920*1080) COD PS4
400/(1600*900) BF4 PS4
$0.00054 Per pixel COD on Xbox One
$0.00019 Per pixel COD on PS4
You are paying 2.84 times as much per pixel to play on Xbox One. (184% more)
$0.00054 Per pixel BF4 on Xbox One
$0.00027 Per pixel BF4 on PS4
You are paying 2 times as much per pixel to play on Xbox One. (100% more)

Performance per dollar - that is a huge fucking gap. Websites downplaying JUST the resolution differences are doing a disservice for consumers.
I rather like William Usher and his no-fluff type of writing. Also additional thanks to him and CinemaBlend for supporting the NoDRM twitter movement by spreading awareness. He's certainly given that site a lot more exposure to gamers.
smh

What many in the "press" are doing is simply keeping a balanced stance instead of pandering to the "resolutiongate" fanboy rage.
So you don't think the press should be honest with their readers? If the PS4 version is the definitive version, then why exactly would you not inform your readers of that?
$100 shouldn't be the reason why you go with one console over another. It's a ridiculous reason.
Take the 360/ps3 for example. I've gotten 8 years out of my xbox 360. I enjoyed my time with it and Im glad I chose the 360 as my console of choice. $100 over the long run over 8 years shouldn't be a reason why you choose one console over another. I'm willing to spend an extra $12.5 a year for 8 years knowing that I made the right decision.
What articles are they alluding to?! Who fuck is saying the XBone version of BF4 or COD is better than the PS4 article?! Because I keep seeing people making fun of dumb websites, but don't see any article reflecting these views.
The only thing I've seen close to that is Gies saying on twitter that the XBone and PS4 versions look almost identical.
It seems like all of neogaf is on a "game journo lol" circlejerk for no apparent reason.

Were you around during the start of the current-gen? Because there was no amount of "balance" going on when the press was laying into Sony about all the bullshit they were pulling.

I got banned for posting this. Just a heads up.
Flamebaiting posting partial snippets here and there that don't really represent the position of the "press." in general, or of any press sites in particular.
What many in the "press" are doing is simply keeping a balanced stance instead of pandering to the "resolutiongate" fanboy rage..
This it what annoys me the most: The press ignore that their loyalty is the consumer and not the corporations - their purpose is to help guide the consumer in buying the best product because this entertainment is an expensive one.
The fact that they choose to ignore the price difference, the inferiority of multiplatform products and instead try and defend it proves that they don't really understand the consumer or the value of money. Still, they must have some inkling because they resort to crying on twitter when they don't get free games or consoles.
and here I thought the reason you bought a console was for the games... I guess I was wrong it was for the benchmarks... this guy is a tool. If we were talking about building a PC from scratch he would have a case, but consoles purchases should be based solely on the games you want to play on them and to a slightly lesser extent the friends you play with.
The spineless shits of the gaming press have been a fucking letdown over this topic. I was hoping Edge or Eurogamer would step in, but alas no. I have no hope for Giant Bomb, Ars much less for IGN either.
I know, right? Who the fuck likes games enough to actually post on a gaming forum am I right? Hahaha! Nerds!People take gaming this seriously? Good lord....
It was later made obvious by CBOAT and Peter Dodd (a.k.a., Famousmortimer) that the Xbox One was going to come in behind the technological performance curve of the PS4 and maybe even potentially, the Wii U.
Except that those snippets do represent the position of the some press sites in particular.
Strange that after pandering to multiple "resolutiongates" from 2006/2007 onwards, they suddenly decided to keep a level-headed stance now that the shoe is on the other foot. Funny how that works.
Dat balance.
Richard, is that you?
I don't think it's the job of a gaming blog to sway purchasing decisions either way. They've laid out the facts, and they've laid out some decent justification, trying to give an objective standpoint in regards to the differences in resolution.
While the upscaling feature on the Xbox One means there should be very little discernible difference even if the game natively runs at a lower resolution, the implication being made is that developers are finding Sony's machine easier to develop and optimise for.
Join the dark side bro
That guy as no clue what he is talking about.

Don't know what tastes worse, my own puke or doritos.
Why don't you read the article, both pages, and click the specific links to the offending articles that he provides?

See post number 155.
It's the result of the gaming press getting too comfortable with their ad paying masters, and further away from their readers.
The gaming press goes to industry events, they get advance review copies from the industry, they talk to industry folks, and they set up shop in industry areas. The gaming press is so close to the industry that they're simply an extension of the PR mechanisms of the industry itself.
When the gaming press has to pick a side, it's no surprise that they pick the side that directly pays the bills and the side that they're always talking to.
Which is why I said $100 alone isn't enough to make people prefer the PS4. Right now we're seeing the hardcore portion of the gaming community prefer the PS4, and all in all its because it is the more powerful system which had a more friendly consumer approach from the get go.
As we go on we'll see how things will turn out when the more casual gamers and the generous parents start buying systems for their kids. Xbox One had cards in its favors as well, Kinect 2. Right now the hardcore portion hates Kinect, just like it hated Kinect 1 (and still does), but maybe the casual market and family market will love the Kinect (again). At that point, when we get to the casuals who probably don't give care in the slightest about 1080p vs 720p, we'll see how much the $100 difference matters. I don't think it will. I think the general marker will see enough value in Kinect 2 to not care about spending $100 more.
Think of it likes Tablets. Ipads dominate the market (as a single unit, not Ipads vs All Androids vs All Windows Tablet.) as the unit that sell the most, and those are generally much, much, much more expensive then other tablets, even ones that have better specs than the Ipads. Consumers still line up and buy more Ipads each year over Galaxy Tabs, etc. Because consumers see value and luxury with the Ipads.
Honestly I don't get the point of this article. Seem like the man is a little salty that the Xbox One isn't getting insulted left and right, up and down by the gaming media, because of the "resolution war". It doesn't deserve to be. It really, really, is a small touch that won't matter much to the general market, which is who these articles are written for. For example, The Wii didn't deserve to be insulted left and right because it's version of Call of Duty was terrible compared to the Xbox 360's and PS3's. Its not downplaying anything, it's just not caring, because the audience really doesn't care.
I stand by everything I said but honestly I don't know too much about the tablet market and I'm just going by "what I've heard/seen." So there's a chance I'm wrong about Ipad dominating other tablets. I would research but I typed this (and my last post) all on my way to work. So I don't have time. Sorry if I'm wrong.

This is the illusion the press likes to maintain, but its not true. All commercial media exists as a channel for advertisers to reach their audience. This is as true of newspapers as it is gaming websites.
More people definitely need to know that Ghosts runs better on PS4.
The moneyhatted 1 month exclusivity on maps are not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, and us Playstation CoD fans are used to the wait anyways.
People take gaming this seriously? Good lord....
