So because you think so everyone is exaggerating? I see a major difference, and i laugh at people judging this solely on screens, compressed videos. In motion on your HDTV it will look a lot better. There is a pretty major difference in the visuals, and sites like IGN and others certainly seem to agree after playing the game.

The players dont' look better? There are detailed screens of players and there is a noticeable upgrade as well, not as pronounced as the stadiums but they hardly look "The same".

who buys a console for 1 game? A console is a 5-7 year investment, you know ps4 had massive third party support and many games coming, ps3 support is dwindling down.

The show was one of the big deciding factors between the xbox one and ps4. I was open to make the conversion from sony to Microsoft. However, the price point and the fact there is no baseball game made buying a ps4 an easy choice. Can't wait for this and ufc.

Now remember, YouTube compresses everything (including the PS4 footage), but my gameplay videos are significantly sharper than that PS3 footage.

Did you set the youtube player to play in 720p? I think it defaults to 360p or something.

Anyways, my point was that the "comparison" video does not do the PS4 version justice at all, it's forcing it to come down to the PS3's level if you know what I mean. 720p and 30fps instantly ruins most of the graphical "leap" that we know is there.


A person from another board I visit posted that video and said "I was going to buy a PS4 just for The Show but after seeing this video, it looks like it's just a crappy port with slightly upgraded lighting and the same animations they've had for the past 4 years." And based off that video alone I can't blame him. Because it's a bad video for comparison. I posted the "The Cathedrals Are Better" video which is at least in 1080p and looks a million times better than that comparison video to try and show him how much better the game actually looks.

If my girlfriend can tell the difference between the two, then by-golly there's a difference...

Can't wait for May 6th.

Me and almost everyone of my friends!
We all bought a PS4 over the xbox1 solely because of MLB the Show.
