And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why TVs are automatically set to "vivid" in demo modes at your local Best Buy...

Oh boy lol

Watching the PS4 multiplayer footage is nice though. Not near as WOW inducing as Killzone, but still not bad

I think the video makes the XB1 look better at first glance due to the increased contrast and the shitty quality youtube video. Once you adjust the gamma levels appropriately and have it loaded up on your big ass HD TV, I think PS4 is coming out on top.

Wow i thought it would be a much bigger difference considering how hyped up the performance advantage the PS4 has.

Really questioning whether its worth it yet getting a next gen console when the graphics for multiplats are so average compared to the PC. Might just have to wait till next year for some decent exclusives to come out.
 
God, what a cluster fuck of a generation. I shouldn't have to default to PC for multiplats day zero. And yet, here we are.

If you were so inclined, you could buy a GTX 760 and sit it out for a few years. I should. But, alas, I can't.

Damn that obsessive-compulsive console collecting trait of mine.
 
I know plenty of people who don't have their TV's properly calibrated...I can only imagine what kind of image that xbox one version of BF4 would produce.

Oh man, it's embarrassing reading some of these comments.

A. Have they actually read the article

B. Do they realise what kind of effects are being applied to the Xbox One image with sharpness dialled upto 11,crushed blacks etc.

So, aside from all those Mr.NumbersAreMoreImportant, the results are debatable, huh?

Interesting how things go on practice.
yep. At certain scenes I think somehow the XB1 looks better.I know PS4 is more powerful, but if this is it, ehh.

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 know, that's why I posted it. The gun on the Xbox side looks like absolute trash.

Looks like the XBONE is continuing in the tradition of the 360 and using a fucked up Gamma level to give their games a darker look. Standard Gamma is 2.4 which the PS3 and PS4 use.
 
It's actually a really brilliant move on MS's part, as it is obvious in this thread that people fall for the over sharpening and oversaturation. If people want that look on the PS4 version, they can use their TV settings.

I hope this doesn't become a standard for all Xbox One games...so many people are getting misleaded here.

Why are people getting upset about some feeling that x1 looks better?

No ones getting upset. But using actual objective facts, the ps4 version is better.
Subjective opinions are of course fine. Bare in mind that we were told there would be no differences in framerate or resolution only a few weeks ago.
 

Surface of Me

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Is it me or do they look basically the same?

Not just you, the resolution difference is the biggest difference which is lost on Youtube. Framerate is variable on both platforms and both usually drop about the same amount at the same time, with X1 dropping 5 frames more sometimes about. X1 had the framerate edge in one scene, though.

You don't need to be empathetic towards me.
It is, the damn thing is pushing 50% more pixels and maintaining higher fps !!....oh you are trolling...nvm

I'm not trolling, at all. Look at how washed out it looks. It's like there is a sheen of white over the image. The texture detail is shit in comparison to the Xbone, at least from this GIFs and the video comparison.

My god its like ps3 vs 360 all over again.

  • PS4 has less jaggies
  • X1 has better texture detail (check out the hair on the black guys head, his hair is clealy more detailed in the x1 version)
  • More vibrant colours on the X1 (not and advantage, becuase everyone will have there tv's calibrated properly)
I think the PS4 is the victor here because jaggies were one of my biggest woes this gen.Though when you take into account the better looking textures of the X1, the PS4 advantage is even less of an advantage the 360 had over some PS3 games, such as fallout 3 and RDR.

Again PS4 is pushing 44% pixels and ,maintaining higher FPS than X1 !!!

THIS IS HUGE!!!

You are right, but my eyes tell me that the Xbox One version looks better. There are some instances, power lines do look better, but textures look better on the one. I am more of PC gamer these days and am getting the PC version, but watching the video and some of the screen grabs, the 44% more pixels is not translating to the game on PS4 looking 44% better.

I am with many that thinks the Xbox One version looks better. I am still fucking head spinning though. That image where the show the side by side with the chopper, if you look under the pilot, you can actually almost read the txt on the warning arrow that is on the copper, but the PS4 version looks blurry and not readable. It is opposite of having a higher resolution should do. The only think I can think of is that the PS4 up scalling is causing this.

So the people saying XO version is better than PS4, I'm guessing you also think the XO version looks better than PC? The PS4 version is much closer to the PC version than the XO version is.

Eyes vs reading. I get all of that, but the bone looks "better" to me still. Would pick that version if I didn't hate aliasing.

The aliasing in the X1 is immediately apparent whenever any object or character is directly silhouetted. The part of the demo where they were driving away from the helicopter with all the scaffolds and rigging was markedly more jaggy and shimmery on the X1.

Edit: XB1 is crushing black levels like no tomorrow, trying to hide the lack of AO?
 
- 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...
Actually there's one shot in this thread where the XBO is using a completely different texture to the PS4 (and I assume PC) versions, looks like a sniper w/ an older-fashioned army sheet over them aiming at a helicopter. I found the difference,...pretty laughable tbh.
 
It looks like XBONE is using an "unsharp mask" type effect to make the textures look crisper, but it's adding odd noise...As others have said...an adjustment of contrast I am pretty certain will make PS4 the clear clear clear winner...People seem to be just reacting to the higher contrast of the XBONE images...
 
Oh yeah, shit on gaf to justify your ignorance, right on buddy.

It's not his ignorance but yours. Read the Eurogamer article. Sony's resolution is higher but the scaler they used to get to 1080P sucks huge balls causing the image to look blurred. MS scaler is fantastic. It can't hide jaggies, which are abundantly apparent, but it doesn't blur textures like Sony's does and the colors pop and they crush the blacks making it look more cinematic.

Sony wins on resolution and effects rendering. MS wins on texture detail. Stuff like color and black levels are subjective.

Textures are same... You know that right?

In this thread people say anything to justify spending a $100 more despite factual numbers in the article.

Or the marginal differences in the quality of Battlefield 4 aren't the deciding factor for some people. If I were to ask any of the dozens of people I know in real life who play games if they even care about the difference seen here they'd say no.

I'm not buying either console at launch, and will buy a PS4 as soon as I'm in the financial position to do so, but this sure as hell doesn't influence my decision.
