I don't know why any PC gamers have their panties in a bunch over similar performance between PS4 and PC. You know it's not going to last, just like every other generation where consoles started at near upper PC levels. This time it's not even "upper PC levels" as the starting point.
Yes console players are loving the fact that they're getting "1080p on ultra" level graphics and sometimes at near 60fps, but that doesn't mean your next PC upgrade you buy later this year or next year won't completely decimate all consoles in performance.
This is always a 5-7 year cycle where console players get near PC-level performance for the first year or so of the new console and eventually regular gaming PC's obliterate all consoles during the later years of the 5-7 year generation.
Let people enjoy their 1080p/60fps performance news.
"Obliterate"? That's somewhat generous. PCs are always home to better performing versions of games designed for consoles, but the insecurity appears to come from the fact that PCs do NOT obliterate consoles, especially at the costerformance ratio. The $400 machine from 2005 runs 2013's Black Flag, Call of Duty Ghosts, and Diablo 3 quite well. Sure, not nearly as pretty as the monster rigs of today, but not bad looking either, unless you're part of a "sharp knees" kind of crowd. The fact that a recent $400 machine is at least the equal of far more expensive PC rigs, and with launch software to boot, calls into question the wisdom of the PC expense, which I suspect fuels all the misguided obnoxiousness.
Edit: In any case, great news about Outlast! If stereo 3D actually makes the cut, it's bound to be amazing at 60fps.
