Game Director Says Project Cars 2 on XB1X Looks Significantly Better than on PS4 Pro

Shouldn't you be measuring 1.8 to 6 there? You've literally got a whole PS4 worth of power to play with here.

No. I'm saying the 2.4TF difference between PS4 and Pro shows only a subtle difference in games with Pro modes/upgrades (DF videos) and the difference from Pro to One X is 'only' 1.8TF.

Granted, the One X has much higher bandwidth and more RAM that might make more of a difference. We'll see. If more games do full 4K then most of the extra resources One X has might be used for that.
 
No one is saying Project Cars 2 will look the same on the PS4P and the XBX.

Save your outrage for another thread.

Its not an outrage lol. Its an observation. And like we said its this thread specifically.

Sheesh, always any comment contrary to current popular opinion gotta be rectified for some reason

This will be a hard time for many...
But remember that there are games on PS4 amateur and xb1 that don't show the 40% difference between those two so not every face off will be boring.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.

Yes, the Cronusmax is great. They even have an updated version coming out soon that will support the Xbox One wireless adapter and the new Xbox One controllers via Bluetooth. I just hope they add support for using headphones plugged into the controller's 3.5mm port. This feature does not work on the current model.

Reading their support page briefly I get the impression the rumble and force feedback doesn't work using a G29 with ChronusMax. Am I right in this?

Well, I'm in Europe ( The Netherlands ) and I have a pre-order at Gamemania. Hope you guys will be able to order a system eventually.

Here in NZ you can preorder anything at EB Games the second theres even a whiff of its existance. I preordered Zelda for WiiU when they first said "Hey, we're making a zelda game" And I preordered a SNES mini a few weeks ago now.

My biggest concern with the console versions will be the framerate. I know they optimized the engine much better for consoles this time, so it'll be interesting to see how it improves over the original.

PS4 is significantly more powerful than Xbone and outside of resolution I don't see much difference in the vast majority of games. The same can be said for PS4 Pro to PS4.

So I guess I'll have to wait and See, but I don't expect much other than resolution and a few extra effects here and there.

I don't agree that the PS4 is significantly more powerful than the XBO. It's noticeably more powerful in some respects but I wouldn't use the word significant and I'm sure most devs would agree. The XBO even beats out the PS4 in some ways, even if it's slight.

Regardless, it's not really accurate to look at the PS4 v XBO and assume the same is with the Pro and 1X.

No. I'm saying the 2.4TF difference between PS4 and Pro shows only a subtle difference in games with Pro modes/upgrades (DF videos) and the difference from Pro to One X is 'only' 1.8TF.

Granted, the One X has much higher bandwidth and more RAM that might make more of a difference. We'll see. If more games do full 4K then most of the extra resources One X has might be used for that.

Can't really agree with this. I think there is a noticeable improvement in most games when moving from the OG PS4 to the Pro. Even when the resolution is just bumped up to 1440p it's noticeably sharper on a 4K screen.
 
The thread title is significantly more exaggerated in tone than what the developer actually said though.....He himself does not even know what the improvements will be, but anybody would be able to make that call..any day of the week though....At this point, I'm not even sure these guys are running an XBONEX version of the game tbh...So it's more expectations on the better hardware, not that they're running a much better version on XBONEX right now, as the title implies...

So yes, we expect PS4 to have an edge over XB1, PS4 PRO over Vanilla PS4 and XBONEX over PS4PRO...How significant the upgrades can only be dissected in comparisons and how significant the difference will vary from title to title....

So the developers idea of a significant upgrade may differ from yours? I don't think that makes the thread title an exaggeration in any way.

Ohhh nm than, it's an "empty" pre-order, FCC still haven't opened the gates or green lited..you got my heart skip a beat when you mentioned about open pre-or. Called BB for no reason lol and Amazon never got em available on the page.

Just as significant as the diivde between PS4 and XB1 I imagine..... ;)

Having said that, I do expect checkerboard rendering will narrow the gap somewhat between xbonex and pro, since many can't tell the difference between native and CB 4k..

Tell me since I don't understand

Why would they exclusively do CB rendering on PS4 P if it made both platforms look similar?

This is where things will get interesting IMO. Depending on what the studio's goals are, we may see CB on the Pro and native on the 1X. However if CB rendering is added to an engine, I see many studios using it on both systems, 1800cp on Pro and 2160cp on 1X for example or 2160cp on both systems with noticeable improvements elsewhere on the 1X.

Even if a game can hit native 4K on the 1X, developers may still choose to use CB rendering if they can use the additional resources on other aspects to further benefit the graphical makeup.

There’s no way that Sonys PS4 pro is giving up a 30% advantage to Microsofts Xbox one x

the performance delta between the two platforms is not as great as the raw numbers lead the average consumer to believe

40% more rendering but add in the extra RAM for 4k textures and other memory speed improvements and it is a greater difference

Killing floor is native 1800p vs 1800 checkerboard from 900p

Thats a bit of difference power wise

Already beaten, but it's a lot more significant than the divide between PS4 and XB1. The 4 extra gigs of ram alone attest to that amongst other things. Keep fighting the good fight, though.

Save your outrage for another thread.

That has nothing to do with what we were getting at, so calm down. You know well exactly what we were getting at; no need to quote us and feign ignorance.

PRO doesn't have a %30 juice to give, X has simply more under the hood.

I'm perfectly calm, thanks.

To recapitulate: You were complaining that there are too many threads that claim that games will look similar between the XBX and the PS4P. Those claims aren't happening in this thread about Project Cars 2, so I suggested that you save your outrage for the thread where those claims do occur.

The most common response in this thread is that this topic is non-news ... that it's exactly what everyone expected. Absolutely no outrage necessary.

A year later and $100 more, I'd hope so. Hopefully this means they will be focusing on stuff besides just pure res boost

So I quoted a guy in aggreance and expanded on why I agreed, and that makes me "complaining?" Stating something isn't the same as complaining just because the statement makes you upset. And you're literally lying to attempt at making a rebuttal; I never said there were too many threads claiming the two consoles look similar. I said the narrative in a lot of threads (usually DF or threads regarding 4k) is that both versions of XYZ game will look almost identical, and now a developer saying the 1X version is substantially better is suddenly as common sense as water being wet. That's all. You're making this way bigger than it is just because the statement seemingly got you enraged and trying to create a strawman out of nothing.

Speaking of strawmans, why are you saying no one is saying those things in this thread? Why WOULD anyone say those things in a thread about a dev of the game in question is literally confirming the 1X version being significantly better? That is literally the point to what the guy who I was quoting and myself were getting at, that in this thread shockingly everyone is acting like this is something that's expected for every game here on out when in reality that isn't the general consensus here.

Please spare me the "outrage" crap because you don't agree with our posts for obvious reasons.

I doubt PC2 will be a system seller, so i think it isn't a very intelligent thing to emphasize to your consumer that a version will look significantly better than the other, even if it's quite obvious.

On the flip side it's pretty awesome to know what you're getting.

I think a good way of looking at it is, if you go in expecting XBO to PS4 level differences you'll rarely be disappointed, and more often than not you'll be pleasantly surprised.

You'll need to be more specific. What are the "obvious reasons" that I don't agree with your posts?
