Dumb dumbs crying "30FPS for ever- duh"
Dumbs dumbs telling us how cross platform dev isn't a thing.
Honestly there is *no excuse* for the level of ignorance in this thread.
1) modern consoles *are* PCs in all but name. Dribble about how Apple uses x86, yet isn't the 'same' thing as a PC misses all the significance here. What is really a factor is that the consoles are all *AMD* PC tech, and a game on a console is optimised to AMD, which is a minority situation on current gaming PCs.
For most of its dev life, a console game *is* a PC game- then in the final stage of optimisation it becomes its console form. Porting said game is as easy as falling off a log, tho, so long as the cancer that is Nvidia Gameworks doesn't become involved.
2) Zen2 is a tech game changer. Consoles go form *weak* mobile class CPUs to strong best-of-class gaming PC CPUs. 60FPS is a *given* for every situation *except* 4K where a game is ROP limited.
It is painless watching the clueless try to speak tech. Why is you have *zero* tech education would you even do this?
Two years ago a vile corrupt financial analyst from Barclay's put out a press release telling the world that AMD's Zen was *fake news*, and no-one should invest in AMD, cos he 'knew' what tech is really about. The no-nothings troll with their 'big brains' even at this level. But no-one has an excuse.
Being clueless isn't a crime. Being in the vicinity of some computer lessons, or being a regular visitor to some corrupt outlet like Anadtech does *not* fix cluelessness.
But if you are clueless, just don't try to talk tech. I mean if you are medically clueless, do you spend your time talking surgery?
Now speculating what a new console may contain is a different issue- that ain't tech, just speculation. Anyone can do that with good reason. But telling us why new consoles will remain at 30FPS is sad- very very sad. Sad and humiliating, frankly. Same as those who try to explain why console dev is *not* essentially PC dev, when it most certainly is, and will be even moreso in the future.
The real deal is day one price point, and maybe the final amount of flash and RAM. With MS and Sony going head to head with access to the *same* tech ('cept Sony is going big with VR as well), the temptation is for both to go higher than one might normally expect.
And both are planning rapid *upgrades* to their consoles with the two new planned process improvements at TSMC.
) and as mentioned before ability to have more varied and denser texture assets and more (which are the graphics improvements you were mentioning).
