What do you expect from next gen consoles in terms of graphics?

[Fatboi1]

lol, cats found one game and it's not even gameplay

Boom!

[Tom] NOTHING on PC will touch this. Truth be told I'm not too impressed by PC gaming graphics. They look like PS3 graphics only cleaner to me. [/Tom]

For real though anyone complaining about the gfx on PS4/Xbone not being sufficient enough for their taste needs to just get a gaming PC and call it a day. You'll get the crazy looking games like Killzone, Uncharted, Ryse, Halo w/e on consoles but everything else will look mediocre when juxtaposed with a high end gaming rig.

I already played Crysis 3 though

check it......not almost....we have reached true photorealism

vs.

I can't tell the difference between video game and real life anymore

Your eyes suck ass then

PC nerds are a joke. No one makes games that fully utilize all the available computing power in a PC because consoles are the lead platform and will always be the lead platform. All you get when you pop in Crysis is better resolution and framerate than on console. The next gen consoles are having games built for them from the ground up rather than being ports. What is coming on next gen has NEVER been seen on PC before because no one has ever utilized this much power.

obviously the bottom pic is real life but the top pic could definitely fool someone from a distance

I'm thinking by the end of this gen, you won't be able to tell the difference between a real NBA game and 2K when playing at the broadcast angle.

The vast majority of people on here have been pretty disappointed with the next gen graphics, but keep telling yourself these machines can do Avatar

still dissapointed?

diminishing returns my ass. if this is gonna be possible in 2015, I shudder to think what we'll have in 2020.

 

[Why-Fi]

besides what ive already seen i cant imagine whats next. im actually happy about that, i like surprises

If "Uncharted 4" was a face washing simulator then yeah....you'd definitely have a valid point.

Spoiler

It's not a face washing simulator

Naughty Dog consistently delivers on their teasers. If this was Ubisoft you might have a valid claim but dudes is saying this is actually from the game and that gameplay graphics will be pretty much the same. Considering what they were able to do with the PS3, it shouldn't be surprising that they can do this on a console that is 16x more powerful.

Gonna be some awesome looking games especially when the 360 and PS3 are finally phased out.

this. I hate how these stupid devs are still trying to make these next-gen titles cross-platform. main reason i'm dissapointed in the new metal gear solid. that chinese nikka shoulda just kept it next-gen rather than trying to double dip.

Yeah, a good chunk of the games I'm getting are cross platform

I wonder how long it's going take for them to let it those systems go.

BUT, there's more. The magic is in it's compute units (ACE), also known as GPGPU :

All AMD GPUs from 7850 to 7970, only have 2 compute units, while the PS4 has 8.

Also:


Furthermore, the PS4 compute queue size has been increased to 8 per ACE, so 64 total, compared to the paltry 4 the 7850 - 7970 have.

AMD has improved their GCN architecture and done the same with the 290x:

http://gearnuke.com/amd-flagship-r9-...es-as-the-ps4/

Quote from that article:



Infamous SS used compute extensively for their incredible graphical effects (And who knows what else), so it's highly probable that Uncharted, The Order, Driveclub, etc. Are doing the same. It's certainly the PS4's "secret sauce", and helps tremendously inspecific graphical effects.

As for the PC side, I doubt developers use these compute units extensively for games (if at all), as few GPUs have them, and only the 290x has as many as the PS4. And Nvidia is even weaker on the compute department (but they are improving that on their next architecture). As that article said, only Crytek uses ACEs for weather systems.

And as a side note, the Xbox one has only 2 ACEs, but they do have 8 queues per unit, making a total of 16 compute commands, an improvement from PC, but far from the PS4's 64.


Computing units, are another pillar in the PS4 computational power, that allows this kind of visuals.

Team ICE said they are improving the ACEs performance (GPGPU), and that is going to increase the delta with the X1... It's only gonna get better...
