Runs better on PS4. Not too surprised.

Indeed, Xbox One's hardware is just inferior in every way

Frisky2915d ago

I like competition lots, but I don't know why people would still go and pick up an Xbox One. There's so much that PlayStation 4 has to offer, and its just that even if you're not into VR and don't even care about exclusives, why would you pick up a console that can't keep stable fps when you can pick up a console that can, at the same price and everything.

Overload2915d ago

@Frisky

The competition happened. Alot of people don't see the need to pick up an Xbox One.

Competition isn't always even or comparable for that matter, but where we are now is the result of it.

Coke and Pepsi are competitors, but Coke sells alot more pop than Pepsi.

Hold_It2915d ago (Edited 2915d ago )

It's inferior in the GPU department, and the RAM department. Please feel free to look at actual hardware specs and watch videos about the terminology if it's too much for you to take in. The CPU on the Xbox One is better than the PS4, as it has a higher clock speed, and ESRAM. Btw, I own both a PS4 and an X1 before you call fanboy.

Also the frame rate in PS4 isn't constant 60 in any of the games that are mutliplatform, and the exclusives as well (just like Xbox One and Wii U), so please try to quit being so one sided. There are frame rate drops in every new gen console game, and it's not system specific either.

Edit: The Resolution doesn't drop. You can force the upscale to 1080p on the Xbox in the display settings menu, just like you can force some non 1080p games on PS4 to be 1080p through their display settings.

@Wallstreet I did say GPU, and RAM, or were you just not reading at all? The CPU is a difference. The PS4 just loads things better due to the fact that the system uses GDDR5, so the RAM is unifed with the GPU RAM and they can work together a lot faster in a very similar resource pool, rather than having to require extra steps for transporting like the Xbox One since the X1 uses DDR3 RAM. It's still a difference, let's be fair, not biased. The ESRAM allows textures and some data to be stored on it, for faster access and caching, so it doesn't have to have an extra foreground read/write process.

@Wookie
I don't think I need to mention something that is common sense. The 2:1 gap isn't because of just "inferiority", it's because of the E3 mudslinging hype of TV TV TV, Always Online DRM, and Sony's Used Game Jabs, and the library, and the most popular, and most advertised system, and lack of people doing research to see that the bad things Xbox was going to do to the X1 doesn't exist anymore. The X1 might drop more frames than the PS4, but the point remains the same, they BOTH DROP FRAMES. Consumers should try to make more informed purchases by researching things themselves, not just rely on marketing to do it for them.

Letthewookiewin2915d ago (Edited 2915d ago )

Hold it- You fail to mention PS4 holds its 1080p res while X1 drops well below 1080p and drops more frames than PS4. X1 is inferior the and the extra 200hz on the CPU isn't helping crap. MS screwed up with system power because of Kinect. Hence the 2:1 gap. Now go play some mediocre X1 exclusive's.

Wallstreet372915d ago (Edited 2915d ago )

Hold_it ...

Yes Ps4 is superior in not only gpu but ram. Since you seem to have read up in the specs you should also know that the cpu difference is negligible and not a big difference at all as compared to the gpu which Ps4 has a clear advantage. End result yes xbone is overall inferior and that's not up for debate, even professionals have said that much :) please dont throw the cpu argument in there because its barely a difference and doesnt change the fact ps4 is superior

Holdit...

I read perfectly fine and agreed on gpu and ram being better so idk wtf your talking about. Anyway letthewookie win basically gave you the response i would have lol stop acting like the cpu difference is even worth mentioning (it is minute and negligible) the gpu differenve is substantial and is making the difference.

"The Resolution doesn't drop. You can force the upscale to 1080p on the Xbox in the display settings menu, just like you can force some non 1080p games on PS4 to be 1080p through their display settings."

LOL Thats not how native resolutions work. sub1080p is sub1080p regardless of whatever upscaling is taking place. Its very noticable mostly due to there being more aliasing.

MagicBeanz2914d ago

20 people are salty about how right you are. lol

RiPPn2914d ago (Edited 2914d ago )

The Xbox One is also inferior in its games library.. just look at the releases for this week alone:

Homefront: The Revolution (PC, PS4, Xbox One)
Shadow of the Beast (PS4)
Shadwen (PC, PS4)
Valkyria Chronicles Remastered (PS4)
Rugby League Live 3 (PlayStation 3, PS4)
Wild Arms 3 (PS2 Classic for PS4)
Space Pirates and Zombies 2 (PC)
Letter Quest Remastered (PS4, Vita)
Life Goes On: Done to Death (PC, PS4)
My Night Job (PS4)
Perfect Universe (PS4)
Soft Body (Mac, PC, PS4)
VEV: Viva Ex Vivo (PS4)

That's 12 PS4 releases to 1 Xbox One release.. not only is the PS4 hardware sales killing the Xbox One, so is the library..

Malacath2914d ago

Fanboys like you should get your facts straight.

It's not inferior in every way.

It's CPU is faster than the ps4's

PS4 has the best GPU
Xbox one has the best CPU
Xbox one has the best wifi adaptor
PS4 has an upgradable internal HDD. Although it has to find hard drives greater than 2TB that fit the ps4.
Xbox one can have up to 2 external HDDs connected up to 32TB per drive

So in some some ways the ps4 is superior and in others the xbox one is.

Anyone who says otherwise is just a sad fanboy

fungusar2914d ago

But it is also cheaper than PS4

And really how many did u purchase after one week. Really....u mean a ps2 classic for ps4. Did u buy that?

RiPPn2914d ago (Edited 2914d ago )

@shiva1

So if you don't buy Homefront for Xbox One then that doesn't count as a game in it's library? What kind of argument is this??

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2914d ago

Except CPU... so no, not in every way lol and to be honest, how lacking X1's GPU is compared to PS4's, it does not perform 50% worse at the end of the day, it usually gets close frame rate and close resolution to PS4 at the same Graphic settings on most titles, so either developers don't optimize PS4 to it's full extent, or X1 has a better graphics API (DX11.2 - DX12), or the GPU is not really 50% stronger in the PS4. I know the PS4 is superior in GPU and RAM components but what it shows on Paper, the X1 is performing better than it should when comparing the Gap in Hardware

Then what about backwards compatability games that are added. Why aren't they on the list then. I do buy them as they are on offer and some are real good games than what is stated for PS4 up there.

RiPPn2914d ago

@shiva1

Backward compatibility is a gray area isn't it? If you are referring to the single PS2 game being released this week, well it isn't exactly a backward compat title since it adds features such as trophy support which aren't available on the original release. But if you want to include all backward compatible games then I suppose we should also count those available on PS Now as well..? Now the library is skewed even more heavily in the PS4s favor.

Shubhendu_Singh2915d ago

No point seeing much resolution comparisons this gen now.

PS4 obviously have it best, and this goes for every multiplatform game coming this gen.

Frisky2915d ago

Exactly. It's pretty much an established fact now that Xbox One, if not at par with, will always follow PlayStation 4's lead in most major multi-plat titles. This could change though, with rumors about advanced, redecorated PlayStation and Xbox consoles being in development, who knows whats next for the console gaming industry.

Kiwi662915d ago

So you don't know why someone would pick up an xbox one , maybe they do it for the same reason that people get a ps4, because they want to or its their preference for their gaming needs , it can't be that hard to understand that people do have a right to pick what they like regardless of what some on the internet say

81BX2915d ago

I disagree. I own both systems, this video helped me decide the console to buy it on. Neither one holds a constant 1080p 60/fps but it doesnt ruin the game.

Hold_It2915d ago (Edited 2915d ago )

@81BX

It's kinda hilarous to see how many people on this website are in denial when you post facts, and start seeing those downvotes coming along. I guess people can't handle that everything has flaws, or their special little plastic box, or awful taste in video games has its own issues.

DLConspiracy2915d ago

Well aside from the PC version that is.

MasterCornholio2915d ago (Edited 2915d ago )

I'm pretty happy with the framerate with my console version.

sizeofyou2915d ago (Edited 2915d ago )

@MasterCornholio
@MasterofDiplomacy
Like your neutral style.
Whichever side of the fence we sit, we can all enjoy the cross platforms. I play on 5 platforms and don't understand the constant granular comparisons.
If there's something drastically wrong, I'd like to know but if it's a couple of frame drops here or there, or a minor texture difference here or there, couldn't give a...
Enjoy everyone...

MasterCornholio2915d ago (Edited 2915d ago )

Well I own a PS4 and I'm happy with the framerate on that system. I'm not going to talk about the XB1 anymore with comparisons because I don't own the system.

I'm getting tired of the bickering so I'll just stick to commenting on the PS4 from now on.

P.S This doesn't change the fact that there are always differences in multiplats and that one version is always better than the other. But you don't need me to tell you that. I'll let the multiplatform owners do the discussion on which version is best.

DLConspiracy2915d ago

Im happy with my purchase and I bought it for my Xbox instead of my PS4. I got 2 extra games. Very Content.

MasterCornholio2914d ago

But in would have to buy an console for that plus the digital copy. And I do like buying physical.

But anyways glad your happy with your purchase. I'm just happy that if I buy it for my PS4 the game will run well on it.

DLConspiracy2914d ago

@CORN

It runs well on both though. So nobody misses out. Otherwise the only version worth playing would be on PC. but that's not a nice way to treat people who are enjoying the game elsewhere. Is it? PC runs better than PS4 and that doesn't mean it's not running well on the PS4 console. So people need to relax a little. Celebrate the game and not these sites who perpetuate console war idiocy.

MasterCornholio2914d ago

"but that's not a nice way to treat people who are enjoying the game elsewhere. Is it? "

So I'm abusing Xbox One owners just because I'm happy that it runs well on the only system that I can play it on?

Im tired of commenting on the version that I'll never buy so I'll just stick to the PS4 version and hopefully avoid any confrontations.

DLConspiracy2914d ago

@corn

It's not about abusing it's about throwing in little jabs while pretending to be neutral. If you really want to be neutral then just say "I'm excited to play doom". Because in the end does it really matter which one you play on? Unless you are looking for a pat on the back for playing on the "superior" version. That's like a PC guy coming in and saying "I'm playing on the superior version. PC" to discredit any other version. Which is fine but you make it seem like you are above that behavior while throwing a little jab in for a pat on the back. Do what you like though.

For those worried about their respective console don't worry the Xbone holds up just nicely you'd be hard pressed to find a reason to choose one over the other unless you're a real stickler for numbers. That being said I'll PROBABLY get this for PS4 after I complete UC4

oneluckybullet2915d ago

I have it on the one. Plays smooth with no problems. Is the ps4 the better, sure. But you will never notice unless u have two copies of the game. Two TVs exactly alike. Ect. So generally just pick what system you plan to play more on and enjoy

Gazondaily2914d ago

The disagrees suggest no, don't buy the Xbox version at all and don't enjoy it. Buy the PS4 version only. Hehe gotta love em

Yui_Suzumiya2915d ago

I'm about 5 hours in on PS4 and have no frame drops or bugs. Buttery smooth and tons of fun the entire way through :3

Wallstreet372915d ago (Edited 2915d ago )

Hey solid is it a good game? Do you recommend it? Im kinda on the fence and yes i like shooters and it doesnt matters if its an arena shooter i like those too.

Oh just saw you said its tons of fun lol ill take tht as a rocommendation :)

MoveTheGlow2915d ago

It's so freaking good. If you're an iron-sights or cover person, it's not for you, but it's fantastic as a fast-paced arcadey single-player game. Just don't even go near the multiplayer.

Yui_Suzumiya2915d ago

Hell yes I'd recommend it. If you're a fan of the old ones and some newer games like Wolfenstein: The New Order and Shadow Warrior then you should already be playing. Personally I thought it'd be a blast but have texture and frame rate issues like I did with Rage on PS3 but shockingly no. In a day and age where games are broken or perform below standards, this is a beacon of hope. If they can pull this off then other developers should be able to.

Khaotic2914d ago

Sony didn't send you your free copy for winning fanboy of the month club. If not I'm sure it's in the mail

Tedakin2914d ago

That's because you can't see framerate drops without digital foundry showing you with a counter. Without DF the resolution/fps argument wouldn't exist.
