Ahh, that explains a lot. Yah, I totally expect the same performance. Given recent PC titles that's a pretty high bar.
Watch Dogs is a cross gen title too, so it isn't going to exactly going to be amazing looking for next gen. I expect this new gen of consoles will look like PC games at high settings currently, at least for a little while.
PC is always going to lead the pack as far as visuals and graphics are concerned, this dates all the way back to the N64 days even. If you consider the hardware the "next gen" consoles are using, it is already pretty dated as far as a desktop is concerned. It definitely is not new hardware by any stretch. If you primarily game on the PC (like I used to), then console graphics will always look sub-par to you.
It has nothing to do with compression. I just don't see anything going on in there that makes me say "Yah, that's totally next-gen" Then again I mostly game on PC so my expectations may be a bit high.
ok, not to beat a dead pony, but it's only "dated" to maybe less than 1% of the actual market.
So maybe a handful of people today have $4k systems that will grossly outclass this PS4 by the time it is released...and be worth about the same as that PS4 at that time...but so what?
That's actually pretty cool. But the graphics don't really look next gen to me.
Yea, no. Even my most expensive PC's 15 years ago never cost anywhere near that. PC parts are cheap these days and things have stagnated badly in the last few years. It's that false sense of "omg PC's cost a lot" that makes no sense. Sure you CAN spend a ton of money if you really want to, but you in no way need to.

You also have to remember its still Beta and now finished being polished yet

I wrote a piece on PS4 and Xbox One. I tried to stick to the facts, along with as fair an interpretation as I could. Some have said I was too easy on Microsoft, some think I'm too easy on Sony. Whatever, this is a start. Focused mainly on the systems and launch data.

Let me know what you think! I'm also looking for other articles and info to add as time goes on.
amazing article bud
Really detailed I liked it, in essence it's all up to the games and how they will take the potential development.
It is confirmed USB fightsticks from PS3 won't work on PS4, so it doesn't look good for any other wired devices.

Sheesh...so people who spend $200 making a custom stick are SOL. Although to be fair there are zero fighting games coming to PS4 so this really means nothing.
people who spent $200 making a custom ps3 stick will spend $30 to get a 3rd party ps4 controller and solder it into their stick. ill probably purchase a te2 for x1 but then triple mod my joystick that works on ps3/360 currently. and when ps4 gets some fighters, quad mod it.
Maybe...but as I said. There's zero fighting games coming to PS4 as of right now so it doesn't mean anything.
Yeah mods will; exist in the future but I really don't see why they feel it is necessary to lock out USB arcade sticks from working on PS4 the same as they do on pS3 and PC.
cause it's a ps3 controller and they want you to buy a ps4 controller?
and because they want you to buy another $150 - $200 accessory to make money?
pretty obvious
Not so obvious when there is no $150 controller to buy specifically for the ps4.
Technically it's not a PS4 controller either as it works nativley with my PC and does not require the same driver hacks my dual shock 3 would to work on PC.
