The next generation of console gaming is upon us, and it looks to be the most exciting time for gamers in recent memory. The Playstation 4 and Xbox One are both set to launch in November, and they represent a huge leap forward in terms of hardware and features. Here’s a look at what you can expect from the next generation of console gaming.
Hardware
The Playstation 4 and Xbox One are both powered by x86-64 AMD “Jaguar” 8-core processors, with the PS4 slightly edging out the XB1 in terms of raw processing power. The XB1 also has a dedicated hardware module for processing Kinect gestures and voice commands. Both consoles have 8GB of DDR5 RAM, with the PS4 having a slight advantage in terms of memory bandwidth.
The big difference between the two consoles comes down to their GPUs. The XB1 uses an AMD Radeon GCN architecture GPU, while the PS4 uses an NVIDIA Kepler-based GPU. The XB1’s GPU is significantly more powerful, meaning that it will be able to handle more complex graphics and effects. However, the PS4’s GPU is more efficient, meaning that it will use less power and generate less heat. Both consoles come with built-in hard drives, with the XB1 having a 500GB drive and the PS4 having a 1TB drive. However, the XB1 will also come with a detachable storage module that can hold an additional 2TB of data.
Features
The next generation of console gaming will offer some significant improvements over the current generation in terms of features. The biggest new feature is 4K video support. Both the PS4 and XB1 will be able to output video at a resolution of 3840×2160, which is four times the resolution of 1080p HD. This will provide a much sharper and more detailed image, especially on large 4K TVs. Another big new feature is HDR (High Dynamic Range) support. This allows for more intense colors and brighter highlights, providing a more realistic image.
The XB1 will also come with a new feature called Freesync, which will help to eliminate screen tearing. This is a common problem with current-generation consoles, where the image on the screen can become choppy or distorted if the frame rate isn’t in sync with the refresh rate of the TV. Freesync will help to fix this by matching the frame rate of the console with the refresh rate of the TV. The PS4 will come with a feature called Remote Play, which allows gamers to play PS4 games on their Playstation Vita handheld console. This is a great feature for gamers who want to take their console gaming on the go.
Price
The price of the next generation of consoles will be a major factor in determining which one gamers choose. The XB1 is currently priced at $499, while the PS4 is priced at $399. The XB1 is the more expensive console, but it does come with some extras that the PS4 doesn’t have, such as the Kinect 2.0 sensor and the detachable storage module.
Can You Play Ps1 Games On Ps4
No, you cannot play PS1 games on the PS4. The PS4 is not backwards compatible with any previous Playstation console.
