X1 graphics not next gen

I don't get it what people are talking about either. And those particle effects from blocked Endokoukens and Thunder cats.

:)

 

30 fps vs 60 fps

Numbers do not define "next-gen" - Next gen refers to the fact that X1 and PS4 are the next generation of consoles - no matter what the resolution or fps X1 and PS4 ARE NEXT GEN.

If you want to talk about that hairy-fairy concept of "next gen graphics" (which some people thing is 1080p/60fps and beyond) then it's all nonsense - realism is "next gen graphics" - and no-one has shown it to exist in the current batch of games (even on
a PC - I own a £2k rig).

 

Xbox One Question

because it seems like people only want next gen graphics not next gen features

 

There is a step up in graphics as there should be with a new console.I notice it especially when I go back to the 360 and the playstation. Even my friends who have came to my house to get a go of the One are very impressed with the graphics and how the games
look.

 

Launch games are cross-gen and barely look better than previous gen games. For example look at this launch game for Xbox 360 Perfect Dark 0 and compare it to Halo 4 towards the end of the Xbox 360 generation.

 

Ryse is the best looking console game ever. No console will compete with high end pcs but as far as next gen, the launch is impressive. Look how much better halo 4 looks compared to halo 2 on the same console. Over time it'll get even better

 

All the games look really amazing and it's only "Day ONE".



Remember the video previews for "Deus Ex: Human Revolution". How we all struggled to believe the XBox 360 would be able to run this game and play it like the videos we saw.



They recently released the "Director's Cut" version and playing it on the XBox 360... without even bringing the ONE into the equation... well the game is showing it's age.



"Oblivion" was amazing... but if you'd told me I'd be playing "Skyrim" on the same machine when "Oblivion" came out I would have refused to believe it.



If the games look so good now the only direction graphics can go is up.

 

NBA 2k14 for next gen looks great, I was blown away when I first started the game.

 

They say it because the PS4 has slightly better graphics. Is it true that XB1 has bad graphics? Not even a little. It's just like PC gamers who own Nvidia Titans saying anything cheaper is crap. Their Titan does 80 FPS at max but your card only does 60 FPS
at max, it's crap! All the while the games look identical to probably 90%+ of users. Playstation having better graphics doesn't make Xbox graphics bad, it just makes Playstation graphics better. They both have great graphics capability compared to previous
generation consoles and they're both "next gen".

I've played COD on both systems. While playing on PS4 you definitely notice that it's a cleaner image. But playing it on Xbox One again after getting home I had to remind myself of the differences and stop moving to look for them. They stand out in screen
shots absolutely. But for me I only really noticed the difference while on PS4, when back on XB1 they were forgotten.

.

Almost all of the other titles on both systems require screen shots /side by side play to notice differences. Sure ultra sensitive videophiles will notice, but mostly the people seeing the "massive" difference are lying fanbois. An ok amount of people will
probably notice the differences here and there, but they'll be mild. After drivers mature the differences will probably be down to extra trees, grass and other things that will require side by side screen shots.

Let's also not forget dr3 on 360 would not be able to handle open world. The map would be sectioned off with massive load times like its predecessor's.

[/quote] Yep, and that plays a factor in the overall immersion experience. It has for me, even with the few games out right now (e.g. DR3 and Lego Marvel SH) and I'm enjoying it.

 

I just can't wait until Microsoft's heavy-hitter franchises like Halo and Fable are revealed as they will have the bigger budgets and undoubtedly the better graphics of the bunch. Fable Legends is already confirmed to be using UNREAL ENGINE 4 which will
be an amazing visual treat for consumers.

I agree! Graphics will look even more better on new engines...

 

Titan fall looks very good and so does thief!

 

I own a very high end gaming pc and the way I know the xbox one has great graphics is that I can go from my pc to the xbox and it doesn't look considerably worse like the 360 did. Don't get me wrong, I loved my 360, actually still do but if I was playing
pc and then turned the 360 on, I could see a very noticeable drop in graphics. I really don't see that with the xbox one. I own bf4 on pc and the xbox one and the difference really isn't that great. Sure it looks a little lower res but as I'm sitting a lot
further from my tv, it really isn't noticeable.

 

Besides the actual fidelity and draw distance being better, the main difference that a lot of people don't notice is the removal of screen tearing on the X1. 360 was a bandit for it and I notice it even more now I go back to play a game like far cry 3.
