Graphics Discussion/Comparison Thread, v. 2

Xbox One is far and away the better version. PS4 is weak as fook and now it is game over for Sony. They may as well just claim bankruptcy and slit their wrists.

Am I doing it right?

It's a coin flip on the right reaction but these are also valid...

'Lazy developers'

'Moneyhats'

'Weak port not using the extra TFLOPZ!!!'

'WHAT ABOUT THE FUNZ???? GRAPHICS DON'T MATTER LIKE THE FUNZ!!!'
 
Mad max is a fluke exception to the rule...
 
I rented the MM ps4 version. Forgot to check the face off.
 
Every gen had a few games with better versions on weaker consoles. Don't understand why some greatly care about it if the game is still good. Skipping a game you're interested in that plays and looks good on your console just because it runs a bit better on a console you don't own is VERY petty. Especially when you have little to no knowledge of how the game was made (goals, people/talent, team size, challenges along the way, etc.).

Without pasting the entire article, the differences seems negligible, but X1 wins visuals and frame rate. Performance is usually a given, but this time the lighting and character models look better on X1 too.

And all at the same native 1080p.

In terms of multi-platform comparisons, both console versions of Mad Max operate natively at full 1080p

So far we are looking at a match between the two consoles in pretty much every area, although in a few scenes some unexpected differences do crop up. The appearance of lower resolution normal maps on some parts of Max's character model on the PS4 is a curious anomaly, with tears in his shirt and dog tags appearing sharper on Xbox One. The lighting in the opening cut-scene scene also appears harsher and more washed out on PS4. When gameplay finally begins, the lighting model equalises, suggesting that the initial difference in the opening scene is nothing more than a small platform-specific anomaly. Likewise the normal map/texture issue on PS4 also seems like a small technical glitch, as this aspect of the game appears consistently identical everywhere else.

From what we've sampled so far, Mad Max is a solid multi-platform release across both consoles. Frame-rates appear stable under stressful conditions, while the level of graphical accomplishment appears practically identical, with the Xbox One not only achieving a native 1080p presentation but also delivering slightly better performance overall. Of course, we'll be taking a closer look at the game in our upcoming Face-Off, but for now the Xbox One game nudges slightly ahead in performance terms, though in practice there's really not much to separate the two versions at all, with both serving up an excellent experience

Dat 50 percent power gap!
What a waste of better ram, more tflops and beefier cpu (double the CUs or ALUs.... whatever that spec is). In old gens a game made on let's say SNES would have better sound, colours and special effects than the Genesis game (as long as it's a game that stresses some kind of needed high end stuff.... not talking about a multiplatform game like Scrabble)
 
Seriously? Do we have to talk s*** all the time? It's annoying. Negligible differences. Who. Cares? Intelli has offically lost the high ground to complain about trolls. f***ing stop. Unless there is a meaningful difference, it's just Ass-Hattery.
 
So at what point did the consoles generally pass their arcade counterparts in power? Offhand I'm thinking OG Xbox and PS2.

Not until the 360. That's when there was an arcade perfect Street Fighter game. Also, it wasn't until them that there was an arcade rivaling Mortal Kombat.

Trolling is all this place has now.
 
Proofread it next time so we don't have to decipher it. It's a jumbled mess.
30fps vs 60fps isn't over 40%? Maybe you need to learn how to decipher plain English a little better..

You could have normal discussion on Teamxbox every once in a while. Now the Union is ran by trolls and Xbox One circle jerk fest. The Playstation forum is dead here on Union also. You could post a ton of Sony news and no one woukd care. Lol

On topic

I read the articles but i dont see any real differences on either platform. *shrugs* Have fun discussing petty differences.

Frozpot

Intelli is known troll. I can pretty much sum up all his post in 3+ years "Sony sucks Xbox rules!!!".

THE END
 
It goes both ways though. Honest Xbox discussion gets derailed as well. Some people just like arguing about games more than playing them.
 
Even though I'm getting really excited about playing Forza 6 soon. (Counting down the days ) I did notice one of the coolest things I've ever seen in a racing game last night while playing drive club. This was a race on a Japan track. it started at dusk and goes into the dark of night with rain and noticed the lightining flash across the sky that would light up the entire track was freaking awesome!!! and also helped me see the turns that are coming up as well.. Lol.. I don't know I just thought it was pretty badass. As far as real-time dynamic lighting goes I hope future games in general borrow from driveclubs lighting system.
You can see what I'm talking about here near the end of the race. I recorded the whole thing. ....

I don't agree with that second sentence (Union run by trolls, etc.). Most of the trolling happens in a few, specific threads -- Games Lineup, Sales, and this one. It isn't a general thing. If you read most game-related threads, you won't see much of it, because it's been siphoned off to these threads.

I agree that the PS side of the forum is dead -- or at least, it has definitely withered. I think we've lost a lot of PS-leaning people, who have drifted away.

Anyhow, I know that's off topic, but just wanted to comment.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled bickering.

NX PS4 version of Mad Max seems to have additional volumetric lighting and shadow effects that are not present in the X1 or even (oddly) the PC version. Those effects seem to be responsible for the framerate

Nah, we ain't lost nothing. The PS folk be where they always be, fighting the good fight in every other section of the forum.

Oh, and the internet definition of a troll - Somebody who voices an opinion which they personally disagree with.

Oh, we have. You're largely an Xbox guy, so I don't think you'd notice. I'm someone who has tended to the PS side of the forum since its inception, and believe me, there has been a substantial decline.

Let's not pretend both sides arent fighting the good fight. And if you dont see all the trolling then maybe you are part the mix? There is no fight to be had only the one your head. Anyone who likes Playstion over rhe Xbox are part of the "console wars", right? Is that how it works? Lol

I can make a blue milkshake in the PS Forum, if you'd like?

My milskshakes have been known to bring boys to the yard. I could teach you... But I'd have to charge.
 
No, that's okay, you can keep your milkshake.

I don't want to keep dragging this thread off topic (although it's a more interesting subject).

Let's get back to discussing graphics and such.
 
What is the big deal? It didn't matter last gen for the folks who insist it matters this gen. Just like indies...
 
It is over that, what are you talking about... again.
Valliance said "30fps vs 60fps is over 40% difference in performance." He never said "it's only a 40% difference." If that is too much of a jumbled mess for you, then how have you been able to post on a forum all of this time?

Thats the whole point. Lol. its confusing bc it's so far away from the actual number. Ok 20 is over 40% more than 5. Ok? Thks for the vague numbers. Now go find something productive to do.

Only you would be confused about 20 being over 40% larger than 5 or actually think that 20 is only 40% larger? Sorry.

720p vs 900p = 56% difference. 1080 vs 900p = 44%. That was soooo confusing what he said. Who would have known he meant over 40%, right?
