You can wait for the Digital Foundry face-off, but unless something is really wrong the 40% difference in GPU power will give a performance edge to the Playstation 4, even with the same rendering resolution.

Destiny on the Xbone still experienced frame pacing issues at launch (don't know if they fixed it or not), and like you said, CoD : AW is running at a higher resolution while maintaining the same consistent framerate. In the case of AC : Unity that game runs like ass on both platforms so neither console is the preferable place to play that game. I think at this point it's easy to say most if not all multiplatform games will be better on the PS4.

To everyone worried about the differences between XB1 and PS4:
It's obvious at this point that the PS4 is more powerful. Just look at the consistently higher native resolutions in multiplatform games. It is my understanding that the CPUs are similar so I don't expect much a difference in this realm, although I could be wrong here.
However, I do not believe that XB1 owners should be concerned. This is Rockstar. I whole heartedly believe that they're going to deliver a great experience on any platform they release a game on.
I personally have both systems, but I'm opting for the XB1 version simply because I prefer the controller, and I had some Gamestop money left on the account.

much like they did on last gen systems with consistent sub-30 framerates ho ho ho
(a reminder that these are developers like any other, and there's no "this is X developer" commentary that'd be accurate; Rockstar has no qualms releasing technically disastrous games. not that this will be the case here)

Game Informer is holding back on their review until Thursday so that they can see more of the game as well as spend time with GTAO, But they do say this about it

That may be true, but I found the performance to be rather impressive granted how old the hardware was. Hopefully they'll make framerate a priority this time around, but this issue didn't prevent me from enjoying the 360 version.
Yeah, and it'd be "impressive" if they got it to run at 1fps on PS2, but it'd still be a technically awful game.
Design for the systems limitations, developers!

I knew I should have stayed out of this thread.
Which one of you is taking me in when I'm served with divorce papers? I'm so poor but I STILL just pre-ordered this game! Stop talking about good games so I can stop buying them!

As long as I can use my own music while playing, I'll be fine. I should have checked into that before, but I have a feeling the music selection won't have enough Kylie Minogue for my tastes.
Just sell your old games that you haven't touched in awhile. Problem solved!

Oh, but I live in the wonderful DIGITAL FUTURE! Nothing to trade here!
I love digital games but that's one thing I wish I could change.

GOTY 2014.
I like GTA and think GTAV has the best writing and VA of any game in the series, but some of the best ever as the GameSpot quote states? Of all time? Sorry, I think that's absurd.

So is the game any good?
All that new music . . . I'm looking forward to just cruising around.

I heard it's terrible, has the worst writing and voice acting in gaming.

When the PC version comes out, it'll be GOTY for three consecutive years...

if it makes you feel any better, every gen will struggle with 30 fps.

TLOU was 2013 GOTY
This will be like a brand new game though. With much smoother framerates and much cleaner IQ. I will actually be able to stomach it enough to finish the story and whatnot.
Just hope the online isn't as bad as it was as when it launched for PS3/360.

Hyped for Christmas.
I can wait to see how Gaf receives it, a bit like Halo MCC.
With recent big launches, many have come with issues. By Christmas, hopefully those issues are ironed out.

I'm going to be getting it with the PS4 bundle in a couple weeks, but I'm still not sure if I should keep it or sell it. I've gotten bored quickly with every sandbox game I've ever played, especially the GTA games. I also REALLY hate ultra-violent or overly vulgar games, especially when they're done in such a realistic fashion. The game seems really polished for once with tons to do, but I think I may still try to sell it unless there's a way I can play it without playing like a serial killer.

"The best writing and voice acting you'll see in a video game" - GameSpot
Actually, Gamespot is right.
All three characters were fully and completely developed and all had independent agendas.
Michael - save himself/family
Franklin - make a name for himself
Trevor - starts out as a total psychopath, but then he kinda/sorta falls in love and at least develops "concern" for someone other than himself.
The back story with Trevor and Michael sets up the whole plotline, creates opportunities for Franklin and sets everyone up for the big ending.
It was one of the most well-crafted stories ever told in a videogame.

I wouldn't say it's fantastic but garbage is a bit much.

Thanks for telling us that, but honestly and not being a dick, it really does not say anything about the state of the Xbox One version. It is great to have faith in the developer, but since both versions are 1080p/30fps, I am sure something has to give on the Xbox One version, exactly what that is, is what everyone is wondering.
I also prefer the controller on Xbox One for my games, so I have been wondering and asking how the Xbox One version turned out. It seems no reviewers have the Xbox One version which is highly worrisome to me.

the voice acting for the key characters is amazing. Up there with TLOU but of course more cartoon-like.
the writing has its moments of genius and there is so much of it: radio djs, minor characters etc.
the story arc is the second rate part (third rate by movie standards), really. Michael has the closest to some kind of arc, Trevor is as terrifying at the start as he is at the end and Franklin never really did much more than react. Luckily they are mostly amusing all the way through.
videogamer is right that the game misses an opportunity to have a strong female lead. TLOU makes it look like a throwback designed for maximum teenage male appeal, in that way.
The city itself also never changes. In a future GTA it would be interesting to have the city go through a transformation of some kind as you play the game.

Console gaming is the true favela experience. Is normal.
Is anyone else annoyed at how many words are wasted talking about the reviewers delicate sensibilities? I get it, it's 2014, everyone wants to look morally concerned, but how about you save the in depth reflections on violence for some real world stuff and dedicate that paragraph on how Tomahawking a soccer mom in the back of the head made you feel inside onto telling me if the driving has been updated, how do some of the new cars feel, what kinda new strangers sidequests are popping up?
I'm not trying to be all silly GG "I WANT OBJECTIVE REVIEWS" but for the love a pete this is Grand Theft Auto. I understand, maybe, trying to use that uncomfortable feeling as a way to frame how immersive the new first person view feels but I gotta say this feels way guilty trippy. I'm sorry, but watching digital puppets go through animations where they fall down and some textures turn red doesn't shake me to my core because well they are fake and I don't play the game pretending they are real.
