Next Gen consoles - PS4/Xbox One

so underwhelmed by the xbox one, in terms of graphics there is nothing next gen about it. BF4 only runs at 720p and is so far off the PC version in terms of graphics and smoothness that its ridiculous... obviously you'd expect PC version to be better but id go as far as saying BF4 on xbox one is closer to the 360 version than the PC version in terms of graphics.

assassins creed wasn't visually impressive either, again running at sub 1080p.

forza 5 is also nothing special to look at, side by sides show its really not that much better than Forza 4.

Just need to see what the PS4 is saying now, hopefully its a significant improvement otherwise i will be passing on this generation of consoles.
 
I was in Game today looking for some cheap pre-owned games and noticed they had a PS4 out. I went over but it wasn't turned on, I had a hold of one of the controllers though and was very pleasantly surprised. I still prefer the 360 pad (mainly because of the stick layout) but it was 1000x better than the PS3 pad. It was bigger, heavier and just looked much better quality, and they're put some half decent triggers on it too.

That was one of my main concerns about the PS4, but I resented the idea of paying over the odds for a Xbox One just for controller preference. I still can't afford either of them but it's nice to know which one I'll be choosing in 12 months or so.

It's posts like this all over the internet that made me say "Nah, not paying close to £600 for the kids an xbox one with an extra controller and a couple of games."

Instead I went to Currys and got them a new shape xbox with 4 games and extra controller for £212, Fifa & Minecraft to get for them so another £50 for that.

won't let them play Halo 4 like cos it's an 18 Rated, but the console on it's own was only £20 Cheaper. Plenty of pre owned xbox games out there for them to buy as well, pity the Halo 4 is a download one tbh although I suppose I could sell the card with the code ? or play it myself but not exactly into gaming really & especially those types of games.

although looking at that it's Tomb Raider thats 18 ?

It won't be a "significant" improvement, mate. It's a smidgeon more powerful on paper but that's really neither here nor there, as neither platform is being tapped for anything like its possible max.

Bit early to write off the whole generation, though. With any new platform the games will get more impressive and the prices will come down.
 
I was going to get one of the consoles early on, but there literally isn't one game on either of them which justifies buying one - awful launch titles I think!

I really don't understand why one of the brands didn't get a major title (I know Forza etc are big names but not game changers for me) and grab hold of the launch market - I'm sure if Titan Fall came out on release the Xbox One would have done much better.
 
Much better??

They sold a million consoles in 24 hours. I would consider that to be a pretty decent launch.....
