Which gaming console would you prefer from the PlayStation 4 and the XBOX One? Please give reasons why you'd prefer one than the other.
That isn't what the OP is asking.I used to recommend PlayStation because their online gaming was free, unlike M$. But now that isn't the case and have copied their greedy rivals. PC gaming all the way yo!
PS4, mainly because it's hardware is noticeably better than the Xbone and performs better.
I had my first go on an Xbox One the other day. Played Just Cause 3 on my mate's One. He warned me JC3 is laggy on it but my god it was awful. It plays so much better maxed out at 1080p with my 3 year old mid-range GTX 760 than it did at 900p on the Xbox One. I wonder if it's like that with other games too.I bought an Xbox One because I previously had a 360, so lots of my friends were already on it, plus I have certain backwards compatibility with 360 games, and one Live subscription covers both consoles. However, I will say if I were to do it again I'd go with a PS4. The One is laggy, graphics and performance really aren't much better IMO compared to the 360, and many of my 360 friends decided to get a PS4 anyways.
Friends of mine have had these problems too. Seems to be the way with some of Microsoft's hardware these days.I don't know about the PS4, but my Xbox One is buggy as hell, sometimes it freezes so bad I have to unplug it to restart it.
If you want to see awful, try playing Battlefield 4 on PS3He warned me JC3 is laggy on it but my god it was awful.
The current generation of consoles is pretty sad really, particularly in some games. Just Cause 3 on the PS4 has some pretty noticeable frame drop (and it's only at 30ish to begin with). Also the draw distance on grass is practically laughable as driving through fields just has a 10 foot circle of grass that looks magnetized to the car. This is present on PC too, but much less noticeable since the radius is bigger.
The PS4 runs Just Cause 3 at 1080p and generally hovers around 30 FPS with some dips to 25 or so. The Xbone runs at 900p and has drops to even as low as 20. The GPU in the PS4 is pretty much the equivalent of an AMD Radeon HD 7850, which was a mid range card 3 years ago. I don't expect this generation to last as long as the previous.
Yeah I don't think they'll last as long either. Mind you, it's amazing that the PS3 was using the equivalent of a GeForce 7900 GT and the X360 was using the equivalent of a Radeon X1950 which were high-end cards in 2006 and they were only discontinued in 2013 or 2014. Not bad at all. But yeah the difference is that the latest generation were using GPUs equivalent of mid-range GPUs when they came out in 2013 and actually the 7850 came out in early 2012 so it was already nearly 2 years old when the new consoles came out in November or December 2013.The current generation of consoles is pretty sad really, particularly in some games.
