Well said this is exactly what sony fans have been pushing down over everyone's eyes!! Wait till a game runs and preforms better on X1 then your going to see excuses!! Like I said before different Gen same story!!
Possible first AC IV footage

Yeah, but with a mediocre launch lineup it's easily in the top 3 of all games releasing on next gen consoles.

Mediocre? Dead Rising 3, Forza 5, KI and Ryse is not what i'd call a mediocre launch lineup, but actually a rather damn solid one.
some one making the GIFs from X1 version
and it is damn impressive, the PS4 version vegetation is not react to the player movement
it is just passing through
Somehow the plant/vegetation on X1 version is react, just like Ryse of X1
That's one of many features the next gen consoles will have over current gen with this game. Go look at any video of the PS4 version of the game that takes place in an area where that X1 video is taking place and it does the same thing, stop being such a fool, btw the plants do move in that PS4 gif it's just not as obvious. All you ever seem to do is come up with lies and bull crap, everything you say is proven false so why do you even bother?
I forgot to put him on ignore when I joined this site, seeing him post just brings back all of his lies lol.
PS4 version is not moved BTW
from PS4
Probably X1 is newer Build
From Latest PS4 version same time as X1

All PS4 footage there is no movement, that my complaint, as i beleive X1 will have it too
so it is suprising X1 have implemented the features.
LATEST PS4 video of AC4
almost same segment
PS4
X1
Go back and watch any footage of the PS4 version that takes place in that area with those big leaves, it all moves and we've been seeing that since E3. As far as the gifs with the shark and the Orca coming up, totally different time of day and totally different animals. I honestly don't think you've seen one video of this game until you saw someone say possible X1 footage. You are picking things up like they are new yet they've been shown and talked about in interviews for months.
That's an exaggeration.
Not to say that those sentiments were never expressed, but to suggest that it was the "prevailing wisdom on the internet"?
Perhaps if "the internet" means threads full of fanboys engaged in flame wars.
'Internet' meaning gaming forums and the gaming press in this context. Or youtube comments sections if ya'd like to add that forum into the mix. Basically it was the predominant viewpoint anywhere gaming was being discussed in any detail. And it's not even slightly exaggerated. Perhaps you just don't recall what ppl were saying earlier in the year.
Other than the mouse cursor present, yes I'm assuming. Kinda like seeing ABXY everyone automatically assumes XBO....because PCs are totally incapable of displaying said button prompts.
I wouldn't use a first gen multiplat game, that is still on current gen hardware to demonstrate the differences in console player. how many platforms is this game gonna be on......
The PC version won't have X1 button prompts as that controller isn't compatible with that sku. You see a mouse cursor for the same reason we saw the backspace key in the BF4 footage at E3. These are games in development running on dev kits with assets lingering from the PC version they get ported from. Suggesting this is the PC version is highly misleading. They wouldn't show off console footage for both new platforms with direct feed vids if the implication was that the retail version wouldn't look exactly the same. Not 5 weeks before release at least.
You can see the same parity in the exclusives too. And if anything, if the power was there we'd be seeing it favor PS4 as that is purportedly the vastly simpler dev environment. Your argument would apply moreso if PS4 was wildly difficult to program for like the PS3 was. But here that excuse doesn't fit. It's supposedly easier to program for and supposedly much more powerful. If that were true, the only way we should see parity is if they crippled the PS4 version (has prolly never happened in the history of modern gaming btw). They have a marketing deal with Sony, so I doubt they would be the first dev to actually cripple that sku in favor of parity with X1.
Ketto, that narrative (minus its hyperbolic twisting on your end) is demonstrable. Just as it was demonstrable after the KZ2 CGI showing in 2005 before Sony pared back its hardware specs and it was discovered as being faked footage. In the interim between, there was a similar narrative both with the press and all over forums.
Yet for the PS4 walkthrough there was no mouse cursor despite specifically showing off the map via touch pad. And we saw the backspace key during the E3 footage because...it was running on PCs specced to XBO's devkits which brings me to my next point below.
You're completely incorrect about XBO not being compatible with PC; that statement is wholly for consumer space and not at all to do with developer space...hence at PAX BF4 was suppose to be running on XBO, but in reality was simply running on PCs with XBO controllers hooked up. The fact you can even use an XBO controller on their PC devkits pretty much kills that argument anyway.
Lastly those prompts are from the 360 controller anyway (the dpad at 8:00 is the 360's dpad and not the XBO's, nor are the triggers) though you could argue the prompts haven't changed in look from the 360 to XBO; but then you'd have to explain why during AC4 PS4 walkthroughs the prompts reflect the difference in shape in R1/L1 from PS3 to PS4.

Astrograd will try to convince you that you are wrong, even though you arent or he will say that he's been saying this for months before anyone and that you are agreeing with him. Typical Astro responses.Yet for the PS4 walkthrough there was no mouse cursor despite specifically showing off the map via touch pad.

AC4 uses the same engine as AC3. Not impressive enough to warrant getting excited over IMO. I love their water engine though. It looked great even on the PS3.
...which means absolutely nothing.
Which isn't the same thing as running "the PC version" of the game.
No, my point was that they aren't showing footage from the PC version of the game as you had claimed. They didn't toss in button prompts that won't be used in the retail build for the PC version just for s***s and grins.
Running on a dev kit is not the same thing as running "the PC version".
Not if you actually understand what I said before posting.
No. The face button prompts are for the X1 version which has colored letters only.
Yeah that d-pad makes it quite clear. We'll just have to wait and see, but i expect both next-gen console versions to look and perform identical. If PC is yet again king, it just shows that PC will always be above consoles. That's why i dont get some devs awhile ago that said PS4 would be more powerful than high end pc's for a few years to come...or whatever they said.
Well...yes and no. To be fair, i don't recall them ever claiming something was console footage. Even though Far Cry 3 was being demonstrated with the PS3 controller at E3 back then, it was us that concluded it had to be PS3, without thinking of the possibility of it being PS3 pad connected to PC. It clearly is better for demo purposes to use a controller. I do agree that it is a bit misleading too though.

The alpha dev kits = PC's. That's also not what Ketto said. He said it was the PC version. Not that it was the X1 version being played on an alpha dev kit PC.
It very well could be the PC version, it's not like you can prove it isn't or he can prove it is so we probably shouldn't spend a lot of time on it. We saw clearly that BF4 at E3 was being played on PC's that gave the players options to use controllers or mouse/keyboard, it was said afterwards by Peter Moore that they were PC's made to match the X1 hardware. We have no idea if what was used at the COD event were PC's using controllers or alpha dev kits, to my knowledge it was never said by Activision to be the X1 version of the game either.
