Is the xbox one going hold back the PS4 game graphics ?

With the xbox one having less power then a PS4 do you guys think this is going cause game makers to use lower graphic settings for games that get released on both the PS4 & xbox one so the xbox one can still run them ?

Of course it will. The XBox One is also responsible for what's going on in the Ukraine right now.

They could always just have better graphics on the PS4...

It hasn't so far so I doubt it will in the future, apart from a few exceptions every multi-platform game has been the same or better on the PS4 in terms of resolution/frame rate.

haha lock this right now.

No. If anything, the PS4 will mean even better graphics for the Xbox One. I doubt developers would have even bothered making better games for the next generation if the PS4 wasn't so powerful.

In other words, Xbox One owners should be glad the PS4 exists otherwise they'd be playing 8-bit games all day.

Oh the sarcasm.

I fully expect my Xbox One to cause Mordor to invade the Eu any day now.

I think the real question is, are they both holding the OUYA back?

Personally, I still play my original gameboy with Tetris more or less on a daily basis.

Does this mean I'm slightly behind on the generations?

What about the PC? I truly feel consoles are holding back the uber powaful PC platform.

Nothing more to say really...

In all honesty, the xbox one being the base line for performance will affect multiplatform titles, so there should be some visible difference over multiplatform games and exclusives in the future when we get to heavy hitters.

MagicBoy · 9 Mar 2014 at 15:52

Screw that, I blame the iPhone.

Woden · 9 Mar 2014 at 16:15

If anything the PS4 is holding back truly next gen games. OK UberGraphics but no camera out of the box will stifle Kinect development.

/me dons flame suit

It may be controversial but let's face it, neither console is really what we were expecting from true "Next Gen" in terms of graphics. With a proposed seven year life, they are barely able to do high levels of graphical detail at 1080p/60fps reliably, even if they wring more performance out of the hardware with clever programming over the years it's hardly breath-taking graphical performance.
