Playstation 4: Thread 02

But sony have said that 1080p is the standard for ps4 right?

No idea. I don't remember that being confirmed as standard or mentioned anywhere but could have been.

It's never been confirmed as mandatory, but many of the 1st party games shown so far are allegedly.

Chances are we will see titles that are sub 1080p in time, either way, it will be a big jump up from the 720p games we are only just getting in the last 12 months.

I'm deffo waiting it out now. I'll let import prices stabilise, and hopefully there'll be something I want to play by then. I'm perfectly happy with my MH3U box, and my UK XL can sustain me for dabbling outside of playing MH4 once I get my Japanese unit.

Just added my games now the Amazon prices are coming down...only gone for BF4 and Watchdogs in the end.
I am safe in the knowledge my housemate will definitely pick up Killzone and AC4.

Am tempted by FIFA too...but fighting that urge at the mo.

that's what they aim for at least. Guerilla is trying to achieve 1080@30 with Killzone Shadow Fall but apparently they are still are struggling, just 2 months before release. i witnessed massive texture pop-in and framerate drops in the build at gamescom. i really wonder what's the cause of this. late retail dev kits or actually a performance problem of the hardware.

[Garny]

I no longer trust anything Sony or MS tell us spec wise. We will just have to wait and see how both turn out.

[Brad]

I know we're talking about first gen games on a new platform but the architecture is supposedly a fairly good spec pc so I don't get why we're not looking at 1080 at 60 from the top developers right out the gate. I'm going to assume it's the early Dev kits / non optimal.

[fishbowlhead]

Or just chucking to much at the screen at once to keep them locked at 1080p and 60fps.

[Brad]

I suppose everyone is different but 1080 at 60 is my priority, at the expense of graphical flourishes. I'd like to see devs put settings in like on pc so we can choose. Really don't see why they don't to be honest.

Are we? This isn't a trio of new consoles with completely different architecture, these are simply consolized PC's. The new platform excuse doesn't wash anymore imo.

[Brad]

Well I kinda agree but the consoles aren't running Windows. Like how mac ports sometimes run worse on the same hardware. The hardware seems good on paper. It has to be the Dev tool chain I reckon.

[nakamura]

Not running windows is probably a bonus.

[J0e Musashi]

If they could do it with RR7, they damned as well sure can do it now.

[Rider_on_the_Storm]

Console gamers concerned with hardware specifications are seriously on the wrong platform...

[Neon Ignition]

All I have to say is... 95 days to go!
