I wonder if anyone will get this reference, hah.
Who could forget Frame City Killer?
I appreciate the effort for those making gifs... but how useless are they when we're trying to compare quality? The difference is almost lost on all the gifs (save for the jaggies on the X1).
Also how useless is the IGN video...how are we supposed to actually make a good comparision when it's compressed to hell and back.

Note the shadow of the chest high wall very close to the start of the MP footage on the XB1.

Here's the Youtube version of IGN's video in case anyone wants it.

It's actually more likely that the gap will get smaller over time, since the roles seem to be reversed in terms of hardware learning curve and development tool maturity from the beginning of last gen. I can't really imagine the gap getting much bigger.

it has nothing to do with softening, look at the gif posted everywhere, the textures are completely different, look at the ground, the rocks/pebbles missing in the PS4 shot.

Something is simply not making any sense here. Somehow DICE has pulled the amazing feat of making a higher resolution look blurrier lol

because they're not PC's.

Pretty noticeable difference. Still wish we could get better quality video that's not so damn compressed, tired of having to guess how much better games will look actually running on my own TV.

Zero motion blur too in multi for XB1.

1:50 mark for this. It seems like the textures aren't fully loaded in the image, as they just spawned into the game. I couldn't see this large of a difference between the footage at any other point. Frame rate and AA was the biggest difference I saw between the two.
Lol talk about cherry picking, judging by the video it would be possible to find an imagine that looks equally crap on the PS4 version.
Its very telling how ppl are posting a X1 shot and mocking it and acting like the PS4 is god gift without even posting a comparison shot of it.
lol
Think the most striking of the next-gen console comparisons was the IGN footage where PS4 had all that lovely motion blur going on, whereas the XBone did not. Add to that the fact that the PS4 version is rendering a native res that's close to 50% higher AND with an overall better framerate, among other things and I'd say PS4 extra brute GPU performance is evident even in this pre-first generation of software.

Oh man that multiplayer footage...holy CRAP what happened to the XB1?

I'm not trolling but... if you told me that screen was from a PS2 game, i'd believe you.
Different beast. But if you're talking about DF, we are only now starting to wonder if there's something messed up with their capture equipment because as you can see here, the captures from IGN and Videogamer looks completely different from DF's.

Digital Foundry said the soldier's camo and ground textures were randomized.
"Ground textures appear different during the campaign mode, with variations of the same texture being planted in the same spot. Neither one is especially greater in detail, suggesting these tiles are partially randomised, much like the soldier camo designs on our character's arms. The PS4 does on occasion suffer from a slight delay in drawing in higher textures"

I came in reading the DF article and thinking the X1 version looked pretty decent.
Then I watched JackFrags, and IGN. PS4 is clearly the better one.

Both games look good, but it's obvious in motion that the PS4 version is superior because of the resolution, which eliminates a lot of the jaggies present in the XB1 footage. Outside of that, I couldn't tell the difference between the two until people starting posting screenshots.
That multiplayer footage though, I'm guessing it's the lack of AO that makes the difference so staggering?

Sorry I should have been more clear... I entertaining the scenario that there could be a fundamental difference between the video output for capture between the PS4 and XB1. If the PS4 controls its own upscaler (which it probably does) but applies it to images before output and if xbone just outputs images in the games native resolution without upscale processing this could account for the difference.
TLDR console doing the upscaling not anyone or anything else.
I wonder if anyone will get this reference, hah.

Man, I watched the IGN video, other then like one time where a tree in multiplayer looked a lot more aliased on XO then on PS4, it was really hard for me to notice differences.
Are my eyes broke? IS NEXT GEN NOT FOR ME?

Quick question:
Would video capture compression help either console's cause any more than the other's?
What I am asking is, will PS4's resolution advantage be even more noticeable on an actual TV? or is the video capture compression being especially harsh to the XB1?
Or does it not make a difference?

Different scaling alghoritms will produce different results. More at eleven.
Huh, you're right, there is a lot of pop in for the XB1 version (debris and shadows). It didn't rain in the XB1 map either like the PS4 version, but that could be a random thing.

so to summarize, so far from all the various sources:
-PS4 higher resolution
-PS4 more stable framerate
-PS4 better effects (textures, ambient occlusion, motion blur, ...clouds, etc)
-PS4 looks (runs?) better in MP as well. PS4 MP looks better than X1 SP according to alot of people...
is that about right?

This probably shows the largest difference yet it's not in OP. C'mon Newman.

This one's better...
Damn, XBO is really ugly, it looks like doctoring when wrong. Over sharp and too much black.
for some odd reason, the aliasing is much more noticeable in realtime vs these slowed down videos. Xbox one has a bit better coloration but aliasing is definitely noticeable. The coloration on Xbone however does seem a little over saturated, sometimes very hard to see whats going on in the shadow. PS4 seems solid, smoother on edges but s little faded compared to xbone color.

The PS4 version will look better...much better on a properly calibrated TV.

Interesting comparisons. But its confusing that after looking at JackFrags videos, IGNs, videogamer.com and then DF that they all look similar EXCEPT DF. I'd think the site/segment who's whole existence is video capturing would not seem so different.
Single player if you were a Xbox One owner I think it'd look good enough. And the casuals will probably be happy enough (but this could probably be said for the PS3/X360 versions). But that IGN Multiplayer comparison? Ouch. Its not like the PS4 is super impressive, but if you showed me the XOne video and said it was the 360 I wouldn't have bat an eye.
Overall DICE seemed to do a decent job with the next gen systems. Although I must say I'm surprised at launch there is this big a difference between PS4/X1 versions. A couple months ago I thought with the launch rush that they would be very close to each other. And it wouldn't be until the next year or two where the PS4 would start to pull away. If its already starting now with differences in framerate, and resolution what happens down the line?

So EA fucked up somewhere? Seems really odd.

It's a bad pic but I looked at the video and it's no picnic.

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Ok, I think I understand now. I'm not really technical, going more by what I'm actually seeing with my own eyes but this makes sense. So by limiting the PS4 footage, we "drop" down to what the XBO footage looks like thus showing the PS4 version is graphically better. Yeah, I sound stupid but I'm pretty much putting it in laymen's terms here.
Heh, these threads sure do get hot. Love that GIF.
