>Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Runs At 1080P@60 On PS4, 1080P@30 On XB1

Why are consoles such a joke? What happened to ye olden days when consoles were technological powerhouses?

They weren't. PS2 was shit hardware but a great library.

And in 1-2 generations we'll finally have delicious sGPU 4k

This isn't running at minimal settings.

Devs (rightfully) think console players are too stupid and incompetent to allow them to have graphical options.

What's wrong with 1080p/60?

Xbone is shit, so who is surprised?
>>
>>318186850
What are you talking about? I'm pretty sure PCs have always been ahead of consoles as far as sheer power goes. PCs could emulate the PlayStation during the fifth generation.
>>
wait there's Chivalry on ps4?
>>
>>318188354
We're talking about a 3 year old game here.
>>
>>318188354
Because anon if you spend 4x as much you can double the framerate AND play with hackers!

Too bad the xbox is 1080, I would prefer 720 @ 30 but I guess 1080 is okay

I really hate this recent push for 1080 60

MSony have been buying up FOTM pc titles for a few years now.
They'd rather throw their money at that then invest in actual good consoles/hardware advancements.

The irony.

>>318188487
I always play using RCA jacks at 480p. It's definitely the most authentic way to game if your a serious hard core gamer like myself.

My old 5770 could run the game at slightly higher than 1080p at 40-50 FPS, even on max.
That's pretty sad.
>>
>Not lowering the resolution in order to have a smoother gameplay

Full fucking retard. Even if you had to knock it all the way down to 720 like Battlefront did, having the smoothest possible game should always take precedence over pixel count.
>>
>>318186850
I don't think there's ever been a console more powerful than a decent computer from the same time period.

Because MS, and especially Sony, wanted consoles that they could manufacture at a profit. So they got pretty standard PC parts and made essentially gaming PCs with special operating systems.

In Microsoft's case they wanted to focus on the Kinect more than the horespower of the system itself (and they're probably kicking their own asses every day for the past 2 years)

Sony's console was made because they're whole company is losing money and they needed to make as much profit out of their playstation division because everything else about them (except their movie studio) is tanking.
>>
>>318189601
What? That's the only generation where the exact opposite was true. It's exactly when gamers building powerful PCs just to show off became a common thing even with normalfags.

>ever being powerhouses outside the niche ones that sold like shit

The entire point of a console is to appeal to people who don't want to be bothered with technical shit. That's why the modern ones advertise multimedia capabilities and a comfy living room vibe.

PC currently and always has been an "enthusiast" market.

That's why I own and Xbone.

You could always build a PC more powerful than a console when it launched, but it would usually mean you'd have to pay more money than the console cost. It was also harder to determine because consoles usually had much different architecture than a standard gaming PC. This is a generation where consoles have launched and could be outclassed by gaming PCs you could build for cheaper than it was to buy a console.
>>
>>318190038
>The entire point of a console is to appeal to people who don't want to be bothered with technical shit.
Really?
Because looking at consoles, they're moving away from that more and more.
I wouldn't be surprised if the next XB/PS are upgradable glorified Steam Machines.

>You could always build a PC more powerful than a console when it launched, but it would usually mean you'd have to pay more money than the console cost.
Nah, this gen is completely different.
This gen, even when the PS4 launched, you could easily build a $500-$600 build to outperform it, and now that's down to $400 or possibly less if you shop smart.
When the 360 released, it had the tech specs to stomp even high-end GPUs, and it wasn't until the 8000 series released with unified shaders that you could get a $300 or less GPU that could outperform it.
Nowadays, you can outperform the PS4 with a $200 GPU that released a year before the PS4.
Don't even get me started on the Xbone.
>>
>>318190691
An upgradable console would be great tbqh family
>>
>>318190691

How so? The entire point behind the branding Xbox "one" is putting emphasis on a unified multimedia experience, and the PS4's services are very similar, playing catch up from their issues with the PS3.

Having worked Xbox customer service, I can tell you a lot of these people can barely function. I'm not trying to be insulting to them, but I had to walk this one guy through why he wasn't getting any LIVE service, and it turned out his card got declined. I saw it immediately, but the process took like 30 minutes because he was butthurt and convinced it was something wrong on our end.

Yeah but some people play consoles because its great to sit in your couch and hold a controller instead of sitting in a chair with k + m

I'm not really surprised.
Even on my $200-$240 R9 280x, I run GTA V on very high settings downsampled from 4k and still run better than the PS4 version (pic related).
Hell, I can get a near-constant 60 FPS at 1440p.
>>318191209
m8, you can plug a PC into a TV and use a controller on PC.
In fact, there's much greater variety and flexibility in the controllers you can use on PC than there is on consoles.
For instance, if I'm playing fightan, I can use my XB1 controller while my buddy uses a DS3.
>>
>>318191434
>DS3
Whoops, I meant DS4.
DS3 is shit.
>>
>>318191434
Plus, playing even 7th gen titles looks great when downsampled and at a rock steady 60fps.
>>
>>318191671
How is ME, performance wise?
Always wanted to try it on PC but kept forgetting to pirate it.

Their insurance division makes the most money out of all their other divisions. Stop memeing

It always amazes me how uninformed console-only plebs are.
>>
>>318187294
Fucking this!

The only consoles that were somehow "powerhouses" were the first Xbox and PS3 and both were released too late and in the case of PS3 it cost $800 for sony to manufacture.

Consoles are design to be simple and run with the minimum playable quality.

Which mean that they will never target 60fps/120fps/240fps(or whatever the fps the master race will be playing next gen to their games) except on competitive games like some Shooters and fighting games.

To them 30fps is playable and anything above that is a waste of resources and lens flare.
>>
>>318192375
Wasn't the N64 more powerful than pcs at launch?
And the x360 was unmatched in 2005
It's just that this gen is particularly weak
Which is better for non enthusiast pc users so I don't have to upgrade my gtx760
Imagine if the new consoles were on par with a gtx 780, it'd be a nightmare because my mid-range gpu would be shit
>>
>>318190691
>>318191059

Depends which one would be brave enough to try make it work. The only thing we have now on next gen MS/Sony is that Microsoft may be switching back to Nvidia.

>>318192375

I could only imagine the shitposting if /v/ was around in 2001 since Xbox was something insane like nearly three times the power of a PS2 in raw numbers.
