**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

A 50% power difference in specs won't always equal a 50% difference in real world performance IMO. Theoretical performance and real world performance are often 2 very different things.

Oh, and before you go quoting BF and COD at me, remember there are more games running at equal specs than different specs

Definitely, just look at the performance difference between the gtx 780 and the gtx 780 ti. More cuda cores etc but performance increase aint that dramatic unless OC'd.

Honestly, it looks like the same picture but with one focusing on the environment, the other the car.

ASDA have day one editions available for launch

EDIT - NM, they don't They definitely have PS4s though

Personally I think the DOF and overall image quality is a lot better on the PS4, someone else may think the difference is minimal.

I think both look good in different ways. Personally, I prefer the XO version, purely because in a racing game I'd prefer the distance to be more in focus so I have a better idea of what's ahead. That's just me though

But one isn't better than the other. Both blur part of the image, just different parts.

Bokeh not enabled in the actual races - pointless waste of resources IMHO; surprised how much better HB/DAO is over SSAO though...

I was thinking the same. I couldn't care less about one being more blurry. Am I mad?

 

[Kreeeee]

I don't think there's any doubt the PS4 is quicker (how it doesn't cook in that tiny case and yet stays quiet is some industrial design worthy of serious respect), better is a somewhat subjective question though.

I really don't get this argument. The console is designed with mid-range laptop components, which focus on low power consumption and heat output rather than performance.

If a laptop with 2 tiny fans and minute heatpipes/heatsinks can keep cool with those components then a box eight times thicker ought to cope fine.

That's a really odd one. When I first looked I preferred the PS4 picture, but swapping between them is odd. The PS4 has the foreground sharp which works in some areas (the back of the car) but looks a bit odd in others (the jaggies along the roof and blue lights). The whole background is then blurry. The X1 version seems to have a consistent sharpness/blur across the entire picture including the background but the car seems a little softer. Not sure which I prefer, probably the X1 in that shot, i'm not a fan of blur (I have to turn motion blur off on BF for example).

Hard to say from a still without it actually moving though.

True enough I suppose if you put it that way. Still think it looks nicely put together and after a teardown doesn't seem to have sacrificed reparability either.

I just showed both of those screenshots to my wife and she preferred the Xbox version. Make of that what you will.

So the ps4 has a shorter draw distance and they make it blurry to compensate. Meanwhile xbox draws the distance fine but somehow it's the poorer of the two? Amazing logic.

Anywhere for a Day One? I am sick of browsing for hours and coming up with nothing!!

Wow, seriously look up Bokeh and depth of field it's an effect done on purpose and it's only on the race intros

Wow, seriously look up fanboy and troll and how it's done in forums.

Likewise, I don't think anywere online now is doing release day sales.
I have accepted its a trip to the stores on the off-chance on release day, or wait until new year and possible better bundles/deals.

its not going to be blurred like that when racing, it will most likely be clearer than the xbox, that pic may be from a cutscene

Just wow, total fanboyism. Show two pictures, XB1 clearly looks better. Reply is "yea well it wont look like that in-game".

Get a grip.
