PS4 is more powerful than Xbox One on paper – but Microsoft will catch up, says Avalanche Studios
PlayStation 4 currently beats Xbox One in terms of raw power and has a more mature developer environment, Avalanche Studios has told us.
The Just Cause creator is working with each next gen console right now, and says that in terms of pure specifications and working environment, PS4 is the preferable console. But with Xbox Ones cloud capabilities and further developer support coming, Sony cant claim an early victory just yet.
We asked Avalanches chief technical officer Linus Blomberg how the two consoles compare. “Its difficult to say, as its still early days when it comes to drivers,” he told us. “With each new driver release, performance increases dramatically in some areas. The PlayStation 4 environment is definitely more mature currently, so Microsoft has some catching up to do. But Im not too concerned about that as they traditionally have been very good in that area. The specs on paper would favour the PS4 over the Xbox One in terms of raw power, but there are many other factors involved so well just have to wait and see a bit longer before making that judgment.”
Chief creative officer Christofer Sundberg also told us that Xbox Ones connected play will allow Avalanches games to become more directly relevant to its players.
“We were one of the fortunate developers to get our hands on the Xbox One early, but the public reveal only confirms that Microsoft is staying on course with their plans – to make the Xbox One the entertainment center of the living room,” he told us. “The big positive was obviously that its a fantastic piece of hardware offering a huge range of possibilities for developers to connect with players in ways that have been close to impossible to date.”
“Next generation to me has always meant more than nice graphics,” he added. “I dont really see any big negatives at this point. For me, the success of the new consoles will be determined by how much freedom developers will have to make our gaming experiences customized for our fans.”
