I do think that the PS4 will maintain the edge because of the better gpu gddr5 ram and I agree that both will improve there sdk's but it's quite clear that these first games that came out for X1 were running at 720/60 not because of weaker hardware but because of poor implementation of the sdk.
You would surely agree that the X1 has improved considerably since it launched 9 months ago and like the Metro dev says the PS4 is already very easy to develop for. (Kudos to Sony).
He also states that at the moment becauseof DX11 they can't quite code as close to the metal on X1 because of the DX11 legacy getting in the way and he states that DX12 will be very important for X1.
Now I won't pretend to be any kind of expert in this field but from what I can gather he said devs need to start looking more to the cpu these days, PC included and through Xbox live compute, we could see some big improvements on the cpu side, added with DX12 I can see the X1 making some serious gains in catching up to PS4.
Although both consoles will improve overtime I think X1 has the most room to improve, partly because MS are brilliant with software and partly because DX11 appears to be holding X1 back.
Like you say though, the slight difference in mp games at the minute gives the edge to PS4 but for me personally It's not enough to get me to buy multiplat games on PS4 as my favourite controller and friends are much more of a clincher for me why I prefer X1. If I want the extra graphics, res, framerate then I'd be gaming on my PC more often but still prefer to do most my gaming on X1.

Plz don't make this a Xbox One vs ps4 thread - Thanks in advance
 
You like the DS4 more? Do you have deformed hands or something? :p

I kid, I kid.

Why?

I feel like the DS4 feels less plasticky and the touchpad is also a new and nice feature to use. Also I love the dedicated screenshot button since I like to take lots of pics in games.
 
Yeah, I like how dialogue plays through the speaker since sometimes I miss them during play through.
I agree completely. I forgot how cool the touchscreen was in infamous. Now the x1 controller, have you used the Titanfall one? It feels far better. I dont use my day one editions because it is so much better.

Really? That's interesting. So you feel the TF controllers feel better? In what way?

I was just joking really. I know some people prefer it. It's just that I feel like I have to dislocate my thumb when I'm using it because of the position of the analog sticks.
 
N64 controller is better than both of them! Ha! [HASHTAG]#dealwithit[/HASHTAG]

Sounds all good, just a shame about the framerate drops. Didn't the dev say they went with 900p so that it could run smooth? It's not October yet though.

Hopefully they can smooth out the game performance. I thought they wanted to remain at 900p and use the extra boost for fps stability? What happened.

Yeah i don't get it. I mean i am no developer. but not getting this game to run 30fps constantly...i don't see a good reason for that. I know things don't nearly get as hectic as this in Infamous SS for example...but still it looks mighty fine and remains very smooth and i believe even above 30fps? Ah well, we'll see.

Well this is the time where they start to really iron out optimizations and stuff, right? This is where they polish up the rough edges.
 
Both will continue to improve their dev tools so I believe there will always be a hardware difference . The X1 is plenty powerful anyways so doesn't matter much to X1 only owners. Only advantage is slightly better multiplatform titles in some aspect due to increased power for the 4.

I own both the Xbox One and PS4 and it doesn't matter to me. I'll play multiplats on both. It just comes down to which console needs some love at the time. Same deal last gen.

Yeah infamous is 1080/30-40 fps.

Hopefully we'll get some form of 900p/30 with drops only in intense scenes.
 
I am honestly sick and tired about people reporting on unfinished games Frame Rate. The same way DF does analysis of betas and then turn around and try to get everyone wound up about unstable this and that.

You may want to learn some meditation techniques then, or stop reading the internet. This stuff is not going away, frame rates and resolutions are going to be continual annoyances till next-gen.

I have to ask, Why does it bother you so much? It's just games. I think the more we know, the more informed we will be. Are we not on forums to learn more about upcoming games too? I see no problem with reports about the status and progress of games releasing in the near future.

It bothers me because we have an unfinished game that the minute someone goes "frame rate dips below 30" it turns the internet into a daycare center.I don't care about the performance of a game until I pull it out of a blue or green box. The studio has all the time they need until it goes gold to finish their work.

And this gen it isn't just normal reporting. Frame rate and resolution matter all of a sudden so we must take alpha builds of games, write 14 paragraphs about bad frame rate, and watch the gaming community get stupid.

I also blame people on forums. Everyone should know better than to be worried about an unfinished game's frame rate, but the minute that dude said it dipped below 30 you saw the response.
