FFS, the XB1 version doesn't have "more detail" it has a nasty sharpening filter which actually adds noise. The PS4 and PC versions look much smoother and don't have crushed black levels.

The XO looks really dark, it's lost a lot of detail in the process. Jaggies are very noticeable as well. PS4 is washed out almost as if it's in the wrong RGB setting or something. I'm watching on a 42" TV and I have to say I disagree on the XO being better, it's over saturated and you can't see anything because it's too freaking dark. PS4 would probably be my choice, if I ever get this game(doubtful.)
from this video. the PS4 is a clear winner here. the little washed out colors on the PS4 is giving it a more " natural? " look ?
the jaggies on the xbox one is killing the game experience for me. i am keeping my ps4 BF4 preorder.

Jesus dude. Chill out. I'm not even buying an XBO. I'm getting a PS4 with BF4.
But I still give slight advantage to the XBO based on many of these side-by-side comparisons.
Does that mean the PS4 has inferior resolution / FPS? Nope - never said that. But based solely on the images alone, I'm leaning toward XBO's version.
So take a deep breathe.
What those videos prove to me is that resolution is not necessarily king. If the X1 can nearly achieve visual parity with the PS4 at a substantially lower resolution, imagine how the PS4 version could look if they downgraded the resolution and turned on more bells and whistles?
PS4 is clearly the winner on the technical front...
- as for the colors...there is a difference between proper colors, and oversaturated colors...The Xbone has some ATROCIOUS black crush where you literally lose ALL detail...to go along with its seemingly more saturated colors...i think the PS4 could use a little more saturation, while the Xbone certainly needs less...
the human eye is naturally pleased by bright, saturated colors...however they are not proper representations..
- the aliasing is exponentionally better on the PS4 version due to its higher resolution
- textures are the same, however the Xbone def has some sort of filtering going on through the scaler that does a great job of bringing out some serious pop in the textures that you dont even see in the PC version...

I guess the biggest difference when viewed on screen will be the frame rate differences.
Edit: No scratch that the AA difference is noticeable.

Yep. Resolution matters.
Eek.
For those who say they can't tell the difference between native 720p and 1080p, look at this comparison.
Reminds me of those floodlights in JJ Abrams movies to add that production value effect ;P
I don't know what the Xbone is doing to the textures, but it really doesn't look all that good. It's like contrast and sharpening post-process filters are getting applied or something.
Wow. Dat sharpness + 100 working magic

It's like they ran it through an instagram filter. Which, now that I think about it, was a good idea because people love their instagram filters.

Yeah me too. It doesn't seem right.

wait.. so higher res, ssao, better framerate?
Contrast settings are not the same on both videos. That said, PS4 clearly has greater resolution, evidenced by the increased aliasing in the Xbone version. The Xbone side definitely looks sharper, but that's obviously down to increased contrast, as assets look to be the same. Any particular reason the PS4 was captured so washed-out? PEACE.

When you're being corrected by gies you know you're doing something wrong
You mean into the dev kits that DF used for their reviews?
And am I the only one more interested in why the X1 network didn't work, but the PS4 did? Even with the issues that the reviewers had, at least on the PS4 it worked?

Just a quick thought before I go to bed.
I've only looked at the pictures, and obviously PC looks the best but I have to say, the XBO version doesn't look like the stuff of nightmares. Like some of the other posters said the system seems to be doing some sort of chroma contrast and might just have different saturation levels than the PS4, but I find that a bit hard to believe. Did they use the same television for both systems? Same picture mode, brightness/contrast/saturation settings for both?
I'm thinking they did, b/c while there are a few instances I think the XBO shots have a stronger impact due to the saturation, the PS4 version looks a lot closer to the PC build not just in textures but in chroma and brightness. It just looks more appropriate for a game set in the middle of a dirty war. And the AA work on that version is much better.
Btw were all the PS4 shots taken in MP and XBO in SP? If so that really says a lot more about the power difference than some probably think.

Why did they make the X1 version so dark?
JackFrags(who actually played the game) still says the PS4 multi>XB1 single.

Yep. And buy consoles for exclusives. But it's almost always that way. If you're just a console gamer, it's clear which version to go with (the one on the console you own).

This is awesome.
reality isn't as fun as make believe...i suppose. these systems aren't THAT different. PS4 is obviously better overall though.

Thank you!Alright, I just "corrected" the levels of the PS4 side to match the X1 side closer. All I did was crush the black and white levels. I did *not* touch the colors at all. Notice the SSAO on the PS4 version around the hand.
It's unfortunate that the captures are so different, making comparisons difficult.
Microsoft you sneaky bastards.

Xbone is much darker with more contrast
Dat Crusher Black...
Seriously people look at that, PS4 is lot closer to PC version than Xbox because of those crusher black on Xbox. Unless you guys think that Xbox version looks better than PC...
Look at that, you cannot even the details on the gun on Xbox.
I think he means that the 2 version are close enough not to matter.

Tv calibration, folks. You too can have over sharpened details everywhere, like the Xbox One shots.

Is the PS4 using QuinCuntz for AA? Everything is just so BLURRY. Textures, polygons...
I think instead of an optometrist we need a thread that clearly explains what tricks are going on to make that XB1 version appear better than it really is. People just aren't getting it.

This thread is going places.....up and down up and down up and down...PS4 looks better Xbox One looks better PS4 looks better Xbox One looks better. LOL
I personally think the Xbox One looks better, crisper and better textures as others have indicated. Crazy!
