Dude you have put on some size, nice work.[/quote]

Thanks bro.

Resogun for PS4 is awesome, just beat it. Short but oh so sweet.

Another note…I dont know how anyone could go next-gen and settle for anything less than 1080p…it is so refreshing seeing everything with such clarity, its going to make it so hard to go back to all my 720p PS3 titles. The clarity and detail in every title just doesnt get old on PS4.

ACIV, while not being the graphics powerhouse that Killzone is, has so much damn detail in its environments that just wouldnt pop like it does if it were not 1080p. Resogun’s ample use of colorful particle effects look incredible at the higher resolution as well.

This is how Joaquin and I play our Kinect.

Thanks bro, ive actually been upwards of 290 and significantly stronger at one point, but right now im fairly comfortable where im at around 255. [/quote]
I should have been more accurate, you have put on nice size and definition.

The internet provides.

Went to EB Games and played with the PS4 controller, it is pretty sweet.

The DS4 is leaps and bounds better than the DS3.

Dualshock 4, dualshock being the name of the standard playstation controller (apart from the horrendous 6-axis with launch ps3s).

Well that would be me I guess.

Or as the scholars call it, Dementi Stercus IV

I loved it and I know what you mean about the sticks, they feel way better than I had anticipated. Probably going to change sides for this generation, the more I think about it, the more I like the PS4.

Sony definitely put a lot into upgrading the controller. I didn’t think I’d use the share button at all, but have used it quite a bit. It’s an easy way to take an in game photo and save it to a PC or smart phone.

The touch pad is also pretty cool although at this point I think it’s under utilized in the games I’ve played.

There are no legitimate/named(proven) sources which claim one console to be in reality x % faster than the other.

Regarding performance they are almost identical when it comes to hardware (minor differences), the advantage of either is in the hands of the game developer.

While I agree with you that the quality of a game is indeed up to the developer, there are numerous accounts of developers stating hardware differences between the two and how that effects performance, which is something that can’t be casually dismissed. One of the major hardware differences is in regards to memory, i.e. the 8 GB of unified GDDR5 in the PS4 vs. the 8 GB DDR3 + 32 MB ESRAM in the Xbox One.

Related article:

“The Xbox One and PS4 architectures are quite similar, Sony just has more hardware under the hood.”

While most of this is indeed theoretical, and again I agree with you, you can’t deny a lot of the reports of vast resolution differences in launch titles between the two consoles. But to play devil’s advocate, the most powerful console doesn’t always win the race.

I think we’ll get a better picture of what kind of power the consoles are outputting when:

A) More third party developers start releasing games for the console. If there continue to be resolution differences, then I think that will speak for itself.

B) First party games start rolling out from studio like Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Santa Monica, etc.

But I’ll be getting a Xbox One in the near future (probably whenever Titanfall comes out).

As some sources have pointed out, it is rather worrying that XBone is unable to compete with resolution right out the gate as what will happen 5-8 years down the line when the graphical requirements of games will be really pushed.
