Technically it doesn’t make sense in practice. I’m not criticizing the users here. I’m just sharing my casual thoughts about the hardware of those "Next-Gen" consoles. You get it? ;-)
It's really about the individual experiencing the console. As I mentioned, console gamers rarely complain about graphics or frame rate—they accept what they see. The console always looks less impressive than a PC, but right now, users are content with the visuals they receive. As developers improve through better API support, things will only get better for them. No matter which console wins, people are satisfied with what they have.
I'm just focusing on how the hardware performs. I don't have a say in what you think is better, but I'm here to discuss the facts. I won't hold back on expressing my feelings, but I hope you can stay calm. This is serious enough without adding more drama. Let's keep the conversation respectful.
It's disappointing seeing games drop to lower resolutions. To run Battlefield 4 smoothly at medium settings on a 1280x720 screen, you'd likely need a solid gaming PC with a powerful processor, ample RAM, and a decent graphics card. The consoles fall short in performance, especially for modern titles, making them outdated despite their exclusives. I'm looking forward to Bloodborne!
It's hard to draw broad conclusions since each game can differ greatly. I'll note that visual distinctions between platforms in current titles tend to be minor, with graphics often being the least noticeable difference. I've never encountered a console owner who could impress me with technical terms like resolutions, tessellation, ambient occlusion, or FXAA issues. If you want to impress someone, focus on PC performance, customization options, control layouts, and cost instead. The real differences matter more and feel more concrete.
I don't have a console, so I can't confirm. However, you can explore some YouTube videos. While the visual impact might not be huge, frame rates are what really set PC gaming apart.
Don't let it mislead you—I own a PS3 with BF4 and it appears superior to the beta version on PC, aside from the reduced resolution and rough textures. It's definitely around a medium to campaign level. However, multiplayer performance is poor compared to low settings. Overall, it looks quite unappealing.
