Hellblade Xbox One X vs PS4 Pro: Microsoft’s Hardware Offers The Best Console Experience

Hellblade offers an extremely impressive experience on the Xbox One X.

[Hardiman]

Yet it still was beautiful and I was just as affected by it on the Pro! Amazing, groundbreaking game!

[Babadook7]

I have it on pro. Looked amazing and I’m very happy I did not have to wait half a year to play it.

[Gaming101]

Honestly, if you didn't write "PS4 Pro" and "XboneX" at the top, I would never be able to tell the difference between the two, and I would never in a million years guess which is which, and neither would any of the plebs commenting who claim they could.

[chrisoadamson]

Gaming 101. Do you not own a 4k large tv? If not then yes I can understand

[OTaylor]

Anyone watching the video in 1080p is only seeing 1/4 of the actual pixel output of the video alone. Compression lowers the iq as well with video vs watching game running on 4K tv.

[strifeblade]

look thats fine, and I'm fine with the beta testers.
Now bring on No man's sky! :D

[lxeasy]

The more powerful console offers their best experience. We know that, but it's not like the game looks it play bad anywhere else. It's still annexing everywhere else.

[strifeblade]

Insecurities of pro owners really starting to show.

[KickSpinFilter]

PS4 is killing it no insecurities here. XB1 users trying to push XB1X as the second coming when everyone knows that the base model for MS sells more. As it does with Sony. Only difference is we have not forgotten what got us to this point. The original buyers of The PS4. Enjoy Hellblade it’s one awesome game.

“Hellblade Xbox One X vs PS4 Pro: Microsoft’s Hardware Offers The Best Console Experience“

The more powerful console offers the best experience? That’s crazy.

[gamer7804]

Also has to do with controller as well, more accurate analog and better haptic feedback.

[neocores8055]

haptic feedback u mean the usless rumble crap no one gives 2 shits about

[Smitty2020]

Talking wet i see

[Cyborgg]

This is probably the best game on Xbox one

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

I hate the vibration and I it have turned off by default.

[PUBG]

Well what do you think? Is the weaker hardware supposed to give you the best console experience?

[XisThatKid]

I mean the 360 was "weaker" than PS3 but Skyrim ran better on 360. I loved my hilarious glitchy ps3 launch version though lol. Console strength don't automatically mean "better experience"

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

I already played it with the Pro so it's highly unlikely that I'll be spending $500 on the X1X and $40 on a second copy of Hellblade for a few more pixels.

[Lennoxb63]

What are you talking about? Nobody cares nor expects you to do so. Therefore this video isn't aimed at you, or any Pro owners who've already played it.

[Snakeking33]

Dam man angry much he just spoke the truth who would spend $500 on a system that have power but no exclusive game and 40 dollars on a game you played and beat 6 months earlier for a small graphic upgrade

[Weeblordbad]

Again, snakeking33 no one is expecting someone to run out and buy a Pro or a One X to replay games with increased fidelity.

Also to answer your question, it's undoubtedly a small group but I imagine the people who would spend the money on a One X are those who don't really care about Sony's exclusives?

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

Calm down buddy. I was replying to Rasheed Sayed, the author of this captain obvious article. No one is going to be shocked or surprised when someone says that a $500 console runs a game better than a $400 console.

[Prince_TFK]

You don’t just get only a few more pixels in Hellblade. When you purchase the X1X, you’ll get more pixels in just about every multiplatform games.

[Cmv38]

Sigh... funny how pixels matter now. 2 years ago they didn't matter....now that do.

[alb1899]

I didn't buy de X just for Hellblade, I did it for all multiplatform games.....So the 500 are looking real good with my 4k HDR TV.

[Snakeking33]

How sea of thieves looking with nothing to do but look at 4K graphics

[Cyborgg]

Lol

[Lennoxb63]

I am calm. I just thought it was common sense that very few people are going to pay $500 for a console for one game that they've already played on Pro at pretty good quality.

[gamer7804]

It isn't 40, it's 29.99 and it was 26.99 at first for a week

[Jinger]

Yeah, but I already played this wonderful game on my Pro.

[OoglyBoogly]

Better hardware equals better performance and graphics? I'm literally shocked!

[Gazondaily]

Literally

[KickSpinFilter]

Sure but it not like all of a sudden the PS4 Pro version of this now runs like garbage since the X version came out.
Still a stellar game on PS4/Pro and will be on X. Xberts crack me up! Enjoy if you can get past your bias of it being what they call it back then? Oh a SP game that apparently none of you Xberts play, a dweeby game, f_da_Japs game, etc. To Xbox fans and not the Xberts: This is a fabulous game, play it and use same great headphones!

[killswitch80]

Who cares PC version is the definitive edition.

[Gazondaily]

Lol

[OoglyBoogly]

Despite the downvotes I don't see how you're wrong. All these sites tout the X1X version as if there's nothing else that can touch it. PC is and will always be the best version of any newer game...I don't understand why we don't get articles like this all the time either. I mean, isn't it obvious the X1X version will be better so why do we have to mention it all the time?

[Truballa11]

Do people think that gamers waited for it to come out on Xbox. It was purchased on PlayStation as much as it could. So in the end it's reaching a second system. Pretty game on both systems. Journalist trying to make Xbox better again when it doesn't matter. Let me know when a multi plat sells better with the 70-30 rule still in effect.

[bolimekurac]

i bought it for the ps4, was busy with other games and never even tried it, bought it for x1x to support them and played it and it was amazing. then tried it on my ps4pro and it looked amazing but most importantly, its a really good game

[Weeblordbad]

The levels of insecurity contained within this comment section is absolutely delicious.

"Journalist trying to make Xbox better again when it doesn't matter". No they're pointing out that the Xbox one/one x port is well done and on the refresh consoles Xbox came out on top.

It's a great game. That's the long and the short.

[Truballa11]

I wasn't insecure about anything. The headline itself was glorifying the Xbox version for being technically better. What I was saying is that it either sold more on PlayStation or the journalist is still hyping up the xbox1x. Same experience with better graphics. Give me a better overall game. BTW not saying the game isn't great just tell me when a console vs console/PC made the core game better.

[KickSpinFilter]

The Dev thank you for your double dip. As do I as a gamer.

[OoglyBoogly]

I call bullshit. No one would do this.

[Kiwi66]

So what should the article say then seeing as its only stating what is true in regards to the console versions as the best console version would be on xbox one X

[Silly gameAr]

I guess they have to say something since there's really not much else to say when it comes to the X1.

[Minute Man 721]

6 U

[Minute Man 721]

Butt text

[CaptainOmega]

No. It offers the better experience. PS4 is still good.

[Aenea]

Better experience huh? What gameplay elements have been added to make it a better experience?

[Kribwalker]

It has HDR, which definitely helps with the experience, it has upgraded graphics , which helps with the experience, and the framerate is more solid, which definitely helps the gameplay experience

[Minute Man 721]

The next Xbox update will add 120 Hz 😉

[Aenea]

And you expect that to mean what exactly??

[quiddd]

Hellblade is a great game maybe on the Xbox but better console experience? What console let's you play hell blade one min then uncharted the next min.....then horizon.....the god of war.....then.......

[chrisoadamson]

Sony exclusives get a pro. 3rd party games at better rez... textures and frame rate buy the X

[quiddd]

I fully realize what the article was getting at

[jorellpogi]

This is click baity articles should stop. To make it fair, how about comparison on the base models of both system.

[Prince_TFK]

What’s the use of that? Everyone and their grandma know the base PS4 is more powerful than the base X1. And by now those base hardwares are becoming dated, so what’s the point?

[KickSpinFilter]

The so called "base" hardware is still what sells the most for both systems. Fact.

[CBaoth]

exactly, using your "logic" what's the point of illustrating a more expensive console that came out a year later than its competitor would run a 6th month port of a game better?

HINT: It's only newsworthy if it ran worse. You're too busy defending Switch and X1 to care. But babble on amigo, no one on the net cares anyway. White Knights never seem to understand this

[snoopgg]

Looks great on my pro, so no need for another console. Sorry Microsoft too late.

[Wotbot]

It’s got to have some of the best graphics on a any console on the X, simply stunning in places

[Italiano1234567]

It doesnt matter

[chrisoadamson]

It will matter when red dead is released

[Aceman18]

Not to me as I plan on buying it on the Pro lol. I know it will look great and play great on it.

[Adisoftcafe]

I really don't get it. Why do PS4 owners think that all good games come on PS4 and Xbox has nothing? Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, Halo 5 are amazing games. It is a matter of choice. Hellblade is a beautiful game on any platform.

[Snakeking33]

Aren’t you tired of those same games every other year they come out with the same games and halo haven’t been good since halo 3 where are the new ip wouldn’t you want halo dev to make something new and fresh that’s why Microsoft sucks to me they don’t take risk like Sony do who would thought gorilla game Horizon would be as good when all they develop was killzone they took a risk and it paid off

[Adisoftcafe]

Well...everyone has a selection of games that he likes. From PS4 I like Horizon Zero Dawn, GOW 4 and Gran Turismo. I don't like japan rpgs and Bloodborne. The truth is that both consoles have less good games compared with 360/ps3 series. Most of my friends and I play multiplayer games.

[gobluesamg]

You don't get it huh? You don't understand why people would want more quality and quantity and variety of games to play? Sorry can't help you with that.

[Adisoftcafe]

I get that! You are right. So, no multiplayer exclusives on Sony, no shooters (except Killzone), 1 car game, all are action/rpg titles. Xbox has the same problem: shooters and car games. The only way to cover full range is to own both platforms.

[Snakeking33]

or a ps4 and a pc I don’t see the reason to one a Xbox

[P_Bomb]

No shooters? Isn’t a shooter a game where you shoot? There’s Uncharted, Order, Ratchet, Killzone. GT and Driveclub are two car games, not one.

[quiddd]

Variety is the spice of life

[greywolf39]

Well a Little to late for a hype train. Game was to awesome to wait for almost a year to play it. It was on Ps4(where I played it) and on Pc. So, sorry xbox but you are late

[KickSpinFilter]

?? Hype? Does the game turn into flash paper after a year? Xbox1 fans have not played it, now they get a chance to without spending $300 bucks more. And Sony still got the "press" on it. Inside came out on XB1 first and thank god it did a month later to PS4, hell if Inside came out right now I would wave picked that right up next to GOW4!
Good for the developer and looks like they made their first tier they were trying to reach on XB1 since they gave a whole bunch of money away to charity. Not late at all.

[Inzo]

No it doesnt.

[The_Sage]

More a story about Ninja Theory's impressive work in delivering something nearly as good as the PC version than it is a difference in consoles.

[Hakoom]

i dont see any difference in this video
the ps4 also looks brighter while xbox darker

so much propaganda about the new xbox which is not worth it at all
if it really is a beter console when it comes to visuals and frame rate then the game should of ran at 4k 60frames without having the option to pick in between..

this means one thing... the new xbox isnt what they promised it would be and the upgrade isnt that big from the pro either...
this video just proved it
let me see a game on the xbox that can top uncharted horizon and god of war xD

[Snakeking33]

They will never be able to fully maximize that system not with the Xbox one holding it back the one x is a beast buy as long as they have to cater to the original it’s will only look good be in 4K but they could never develop for it 100 %

[GamingSinceForever]

What you said literally makes no sense when the PS4 Pro running the very games that he mentioned also has to be playable on the OG PS4.

What it all boils down to is talent and dedication. If MS invests in that then they have one helluva shot at greatness.

[2ndhandcorn]

Regardless one of the worst named games in the history of videogames lmao Hellblade ha ha i could not play without laughing everytime terrible.

[nucky64]

I loved the game and played it on my launch ps4 - don't need the pro or x to enjoy the game.

[corroios]

What happend to base model comparison? Its so strange? Because thats 90% or more of the market and not the the upgrades.

[JayRyu]

No base model comparisons because they're not the latest hardware by either company.

The article is specifically comparing the Upgrades.

[corroios]

But it should, because those upgrade arent where almost all players are.

[GNCFLYER]

Still baffled at all the "cant see the difference" reviews at the beginning of this gen.

Actually I'm not baffled at all. VG journalism is a joke and has no standards so any retarded fanboy with a keyboard can write anything.

[ironmonkey]

I enjoyed it very much on the pro. Just another great addition to the collection of great games.
