Last gen differences were super minor compared to this gen.

There were a handful. Not a ton, but certainly more than 3. I remember people getting tired of me posting the side by side shots to compare to show how the differences weren't so tiny. People got tired of me and my screenshots. lol
But seriously, the differences last gen were so much smaller, it surprises me that there were even that many people that would even claim these large differences.
That's what I expect as well honestly. I don't think we're as far apart as you may think.
Yeah lets all wear green shades and agree these consoles are close in power!Him, serious discussion....
Last gen consoles held there own vs anything PC included for a few years then Crysis(with mods) released and wiped the floor with the consoles. With a few visual gems released after that compared well to the PC.
But the latter half of the last gen PC really started to distance itself.
I don't see this this gen thus far.

I don't even know why I try.

What you tried spinning was way wrong.
I think some of that was purpetuated by the likes of EA. Where they talked up PS3 versions of their games and hid the 360 versions. Like Airborne and Fight Night. They created an underdog and some PS3 backlash.
They did hold their own, but the differences were still pretty large, and certainly larger than what we're seeing now (between PS4 and XB1).
For example, back when Oblivion released, maxed out at 1080p, Oblivion already blew away console version, and as last gen went on, we kept seeing those differences.
Now, yes, they did hold their own, the same way as this gen is holding their own, but make no mistake about it, if you could afford a high pc back then, the differences were pretty large. We're talking about 1080p vs 720p, and in many cases, sub 720p....and 60fps+ vs 30 fps in most games and many seeing less than 30 fps. That's not even including various settings that PC saw improved like AA, AF, textures, etc.
You can't claim that 1080p vs 900p differences is large, and then say not much difference between 1080p and 720p/sub 720p.
The differences are large when comparing the same games vs the PC but certain exclusives held there own vs the PC.
does it matter though? Those exclusives were still 720p and 30 fps with frame rate hits. And the claims of not that different from last gen was coming from folks comparing multiplats, we all know that PCs aren't big on visual exclusives.
By the way, for the record, I did say they held their own....but the differences were still pretty large.
Everything I said was a fact. The gap in power between the PS2 and Xbox was larger and there were examples of games being 60 FPS on Xbox but 30 FPS on the PS2. Not sure how it's "spinning" to say something that's the truth.
Link saying the OG XB was more then 40% more powerful then the PS2.
Also List these examples of games and FYI the PS2 had better versions sometime as well. Does this mean the PS2 was stronger/as strong as the XB? Of course not just like it doesn't make PS4 and XBO close in power.
You got your "40% better" based on resolution correct? Soul Calibur 2 was 720p on the Original Xbox and it was 480p on the PS2 (http://www.ign.com/games/soulcalibur-2/xbox-16894).
720p = 921,600 pixels
480p = 307,200 pixels
3 times the number of pixels (720p vs. 480p) versus not even 1.5 times the number of pixels (1080p vs. 900p). Seems obvious to me.
I already mentioned Sonic Heroes in terms of 30 FPS vs. 60 FPS. (http://www.goodcowfilms.com/farm/basement/ga-archive/sonic-heroes-ps2-30fps-01-11-2004.htm)
Yeah, I never said that at all. I never said the PS4 and Xbox One were close in power. I simply said that they are closer in power than the original Xbox and PS2 were. Xbox One has also had a few cases of better versions too so I don't really understand what you were trying to get at there.
Fair? How is it fair when those lists are made every other day, and they always skip Xbox games or put false information in them?
While Xbox does indeed have the better exclusives, I am pretty sure you know that the PS4 has been getting the better 3rd party resolutions.
Xbox One is putting out significantly better looking 1st party titles, but they do need to catch up with the PS4 with 3rd party. Luckily DirectX 12 has helped with that. While Xbox One has better games, the PS4 is no slouch either.
And as this gen continues, we see the differences in the gap getting smaller and smaller. Then again, the performance difference this gen is even smaller than last, so it really shouldn't come as a surprise.
I'm going to shut this thread down for a while, let people get new hobbies or something. We're talking way too much about visual resolution differences and too little about the actual topic of the thread. I'm tired of policing it and telling people to stay on topic. It's tedious; we keep going over the same territory, over and over again.
