I think its just been COD AW and the Evolve Beta.

A few dips in COD single player when the game is still overall better on PS4(1080p/60fps locked in MP)? A beta...really.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

AC: Unity too, though it's not exactly much of a win in that case. LOL

I think the poster I was quoting was referring to the PS4 pushing extra effects and resolution over the Xbox one at the expense of frame rate.

As far as I know, the PS4 and Xb1 versions of ACU look the same.

 

[On Demand]

I did, how about you do the math.

1600X900 1,440,000

1400X1080 1,512,000


REVELATION.......

 

[i-Lo]

Which games follow this pattern?

GTA V, DA:I, Unity, Evolve (still alpha) and CoD AW atm.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

GTA V, DA:I and CoD AW atm.

No to COD:AW and I haven't seen a comparison for DAI yet.

To use Unity is a joke. Evolve alpha is even worse.

Very suspect list.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

GTA V, DA:I and CoD AW atm.

GTAs frame rate is a wash. Its hit or miss on either platform.

And when did we get official DA:I frame rate tests?

roofles. you failed but the goal posts have moved. For Xbox owners its a great looking game.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

1600X900 1,440,000

REVELATION.......

Yeah. The second one is higher. You wrote, "do the math" in response to Statham saying it was better than 900p. You just proved it actually is better after actually doing the math.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

So many games...

Lists 2 or 3 which are almost all debatable. Great pattern recognition.

 

[PirateKing]

like you put it in your ass?

This slayed me. Thanks for the morning laugh

Well, this is what has been said on Gamersyde by the site's uploader on PS4 version:

More Dragon Age: Inquisition on Gamersyde with the PS4 version of the game, which runs at 1080p with a bit more graphical effects than its Xbox One counterpart. On the other hand, we noticed the framerate was a bit less smooth on Sony's console and there seemed to be a bit more tearing. Nothing to be worried about though as all versions are solid and enjoyable from what we've seen. For those truly intested in technical comparisons, just wait for the Digital Foundry verdict, or check out all our videos and try to spot the differences yourselves.

 

[vesvci]

Ms?

Haha it's funny because it's

Spoiler

probably

true.

 

[On Demand]

roofles. you failed but the goal posts have moved. For Xbox owners its a great looking game.

Yeah. My point is it's basically the same. There's still scaling involved.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Well, this is what has been said on Gamersyde by the site's uploader on PS4 version:

I have not seen any mention of tearing before. I have the game so I'll see soon enough. That would be very annoying.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Yeah. My point is it's basically the same. There's still scaling involved.

You wrote, "do the math" which implies that you thought the resolution was lower than 900p. Own your mistake, dude. It's OK.

 

[Glorified G]

Well, this is what has been said on Gamersyde by the site's uploader on PS4 version:

So by pattern you mean using one uploaders opinion without any tests conducted and tests that were actually made (Cod4, GTAV) didn't show the discrepancy in performance that you claimed in your original post?

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

Follow the money.

Also on the choice of games. Isn't it interesting that PES 2015 has been a complete no show?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Follow the money.

Or observe how many games came out on a single date?

Also on the choice of games. Isn't it interesting that PES 2015 has been a complete no show?

Couldn't be that it came out nearly 2 months after FIFA and that tons of other games are crowding DF's time, could it?

[Shin-Ra]

This caught my eye in the "Reaching the Tower" video.

 

[Cuyejo]

Well, this is what has been said on Gamersyde by the site's uploader on PS4 version:

I haven't seen any tearing TBH, also the framerate has been rock solid for the most part, except for rare instances when driving too fast (streaming issues?) and one cutscene where it dipped noticeably. Game looks ace otherwise, foliage and LOD are the best I've seen on an open world game, there's no distinguishable pop in, there's even some nice use of parallax occlusion mapping on some textures.

 

[Madness]

XB1 is at least inching closer to full 1080p for all games.

Amirite?

Not that it really matters but it's true. Snark aside, people should be happy that the games are starting to find better workarounds to look the best it can be. Not mentioning parity and underutilizing PS4, but a xbox One releases are going from 720p, to 900p, to these dynamic scaling 1080p or horizontal 1080 games which actually look better than 900p.

Its just a fact though that Xbox One hardware is weaker and will always struggle to hit the same highs as PS4.

 

[On Demand]

You wrote, "do the math" which implies that you thought the resolution was lower than 900p. Own your mistake, dude. It's OK.

Nah. It's not much difference between the two. No need for celebration.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Watch out. Shin-Ra's here and ready to make us see things we can never un-see.

 

[Elandyll]

Sure... Except that two days of the week were without new articles, and that they spent time going back on details when called out on it (vegetation for GTA V).

I don't see how having had FIFA 2 months ago is even relevant.

PES came out 10 days ago btw.

 

[Caddle]

I guess the people complaining the most about IQ haven't played the Xbox on a decent TV. Every game GAF complains about on the Xbox looks superb on my Panasonic 3d plasma. Change those bullshit led sets people.

Umm the difference is more obvious on better TVs...

 

[Journey]

Who made this a thing?

Ms?

This.

Are you certain MS was the first to fuddle with the vertical resolution in order to maintain a 1080 horizontal resolution in order to call their game 1080p?

 

[Sinfamy]

Who made this a thing?

Sorry.

 

[i-Lo]

So by pattern you mean using one uploaders opinion without any tests conducted and tests that were actually made (Cod4, GTAV) didn't show the discrepancy in performance that you claimed in your original post?

One uploader who has played the game to perhaps some respectable degree before making that comment. They have no affiliation with either MS or Sony (iirc). As for CoD, you can look up DF's videos and they do mention that in the drops are more noticeable.

But the key issue here is why does it exist to begin with? Given PS4's raw number advantage one would have hoped for better performance. Undoubtedly if all else were kept equal, PS4 would hold on to the better performance; the bump in resolution as well as added detail is giving an advantage that perhaps has no reason to exist.

I haven't seen any tearing TBH, also the framerate has been rock solid for the most part, except for rare instances when driving too fast (streaming issues?) and one cutscene where it dipped noticeably. Game looks ace otherwise, foliage and LOD are the best I've seen on an open world game, there's no distinguishable pop in, there's even some nice use of parallax occlusion mapping on some textures.

I concur. It is a monumental achievement. I think it's primarily because their eyes weren't bigger than their stomachs and kept the scope of the game withing technical bounds which can be improved upon in the next iteration (unlike ACU).

 

[SEGAvangelist]

It makes the game pretty late to market in comparison. Also, DF only has so many people to go around. I'm guessing their priorities don't include PES 2015. I'm not sure why it has to be a conspiracy. I understand you don't like Richard Leadbetter, but he doesn't do all face-offs. One of DF's writers (dark10x who you may know here at GAF) has done some great work for them.

"Due to the higher resolution, there are dips on the PS4 where as the XB1 holds a steady framerate (relevant posted video shows otherwise). To sum up we find that largely both version perform similarly."

How long have I been calling out DF? Thank goodness people are starting to wake up.

 

[statham]

This caught my eye in the "Reaching the Tower" video.

you must be a double agent working for Microsoft.

 

[Journey]

Double post...sigh

At least its an improvement over 900p and scales better.

 

[iceatcs]

DF is suspicious slow lately

Finding PS4 framerate dip isn't easy.

 

[Markitron]

You're like the hundredth person on here to make that joke.

TBF it's still funny

 

[R3TRODYCE]

I need to play this more.

 

[Portugeezer]

Finding PS4 framerate dip isn't easy.

How is the PS4 performance BTW? Might get FC4 since GTA first person was a let down for me, I thought it would have killed by FC4 excitement.

And it's not even just the choice of games, the content itself is very suspect.
The most blatant to me has been the COD:AW face off, where the PS4 clearly dominates (the multi in particular), and they still manage to present the situation like a wash (placing the whole initial article under the banner of better fps on XB1 to boot - never mind the res or the vsync).

It just all cumulates to paint a picture where, while probably not outright bought out (that would surface sooner or later), DF seems generally all too eager to either try to please, or avoid displease at the very least, their friends over at Microsoft.

 

[Kilau]

Is DF a good source now? I thought many on GAF preferred Lens of Truth because they were more honest.

Lens of Truth is gone, no?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Do the math.

1600X900 1,440,000

Oh dear. You suck at this.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Having played H2A, I wholeheartedly agree with you. It's not perfect, but way better than 1600x900...

Nice to hear this.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Oh dear. You suck at this.

You can just see him tightening the noose a bit more with each post, right?

It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

Trippy.

 

[DarthWalden]

How is this a rumour?

The game has been out 4 days... Shouldn't someone be able to confirm this?

"Due to the higher resolution, there are dips on the PS4 where as the XB1 holds a steady framerate (relevant posted video shows otherwise). To sum up we find that largely both version perform similarly."

You forgot to include the zero credibility sig of the author:

Otherwise, that sounds about right. I also agree with the "suspiciously slow" comment.
