DF/JF: Battlefield 4 PS4 vs XB1 videos/screens (900p PS4, 720p XB1)

The difference is bigger than I thought.
Higher res with higher average frame rate and more effects activated (AO, clouds, better particle effects). That's not a minor difference also aliasing is terrible and is ruining the X1 version on its own.
 
LMAO at all the people throwing around "black crush" like they're seasoned AV professionals when they've never even heard the term before tonight.

Was my explanation accurate? I mean, I may have messed up some sources, but I think I explained it ok.

Xbox One wins it for me. Even Xbox 360 vs PS3, I always liked Xbox 360s more.
Did you watch the videos, or did you just come in here to sound like a fool?

With PS4 MP footage dropping to 50s and high 40s constantly, Guerilla Games can safely start promoting full 60fps multiplayer for KZSF now.

GAF screamed beause KZSF could not maintain 60fps when 24 players dropped grenade at the same time. Seems so insignificant now that BF4 has much larger problems. Sure that happens only in 64 maps, but still.
Actually, Killzone runs similarly if not worse in MP. So, yes, they can still tout 60 fps multiplayer, but it is in no way stable. The "24 players dropping grenades" thing is BS.

I actually kind of am a semi-seasoned AV professional and have the gear and 10 years of experience to back that up. :)
 
First screen of NBA2K14 on Xbox One released?

Lord Error

Insane For Sony
Can anyone post any pics/gifs of missing effects or objects? People say that is already the case, but I haven't seen anything to prove it yet.
- HBAO is missing from XB1 version, that is 100% true. It doesn't have any kind of SSAO actually.
- I don't think motion blur is missing from XB1 version in MP. I was able to see it when I paused the video at the right moment. It's just that guy who was playing it was making really snappy movements so it was not easy to pause it at the right moment.
- I've seen some shadows flicker on XB1 footage in IGN video where the PS4 half of the screen shadow stayed stable. That happened once or twice when camera looked towards the ground, so could be just random glitch
- Clouds are curiously missing from XB1 footage, could be just randomized weather or something.
 
How would you know?

Because I've been reading these threads for a while now, and have not seen the term once, and now it's everywhere. PS4 looks better, but the hearing some of the hyperbole around here, you would think the X1 version is straight up garbage that will kill your puppy on sight.

And yes, I know what crushing the black level means. I do astrophotography for a hobby and we generally refer to it as clipping the black levels, instead of crushing it, lol.

For all those threads with 10 000 replies, all those banned users, all this month's craziness... this is it?!?

LOL

The difference is undistinguishable for the casual BestBuy/ Walmart/ Costco gamer. No wonder MS sat quiet on this issue - they knew no one except board warriors would give a shit. All those thuway, famousmortimer, TheKevinDent etc. leaks for this? Jesus... way overblown. I was expecting some 3Dfx vs non-3Dfx screens at least.

Meanwhile:
- the PC version shits from great heights on the superior PS4 900p visual clarity
- Killzone: Shadowfall destroys BF4 visually

This is the most sensible thing written in this entire thread.

Xbone version looks fine, 1% will care about the difference and make out it's the most significant moment in gaming history.

Get some sleep people.

Anyone who actually believed that a casual Walmart customer was going to care about 720p vs. 900p was crazy from the start.

However, the leaks were accurate. The PS4 version does look better. It's just one more negative tick mark on MS. When people hear, "I heard the PS4 games look better and it's $100 cheaper." it will have an effect. That's what I heard most people trying to argue on here. Right now MS is in a "death by a those paper cuts" situation. None of them are that big of a deal really (some more than others). But as they begin to stack, it starts to do damage.

I agree that ShadowFall looks amazing, and of course the PC version shits all over it. Did anyone believe otherwise?

Yum Yum Albert.

he said there was no way they were giving up 30% performance right??...

so does 50%+ resolution count???

Will try out later (for my ps3)
Thanks :)

edge enhancement is a big one too....fair warning...turning off edge enhancement, and lowering sharpness is going to be an adjustment for you...for awhile youre going to think everything looks too soft because youre used to the sharpness....give your eyes time to adjust to it...youll like the results...

More than anything this points towards what is to come over the next years.

The power advantage is obvious, and it shows in the end product both visually and (for this purpose more importantly) in the numbers.

Way more pixels, anti-aliasing, more and better effects. And still it runs at a significantly higher frame rate.

This talks to the potential of these consoles, more than anything. The visual outcome in this not very impressive cross-gen title is one thing, but the Xbox One has no chance to keep up in the long run as far as I can tell.

Jeez. Whoever's setting up those PS4s need to go into the settings and change the color output to full rather than limited. For some reason the PS4 likes to look washed out when in its default mode.

When there is no difference to the casual gamer they look at the price. Guess who wins there

I was a video editor and graphics designer for ten years, that being said a simple google search and an IQ above a field mouse and you can probably get a great understanding of the concept in 20 seconds.

Dafuq is actually going on here with the captures, resolution, fps, clarity and AA clearly goes to the PS4

But seriously guys its quite concernting to see the Washed out vs the black crush??? Its as if the black levels havent been adjusted yet.
 
can't judge everything from a youtube video. compression, bitrate loss, etc. a lot is lost in translation. classic example is the order 1886 video. the direct-feed 900+ mb looked so much better than any 1080p hd video on youtube. not even close.

thanks for the laugh
The PC version and the PS4 is not far off for typical 1080p rigs. PS4 looks slightly inferior to my PC.

2073600
1440000
921600

roughly as many pixels between a native 1920x1080 PC version and the PS4 version as there are between the PS4 and the XBone version. bear in mind the PC number is perfectly achievable with a sub-$200 GPU, and a lot of people are going to have to have a long hard think about their priorities.
 
While this is not the topic for this, ill make it short: You are paying 100$ more for less. You dont see a problem here? Cause most people do, but hey its your money.
I'm not paying a 100usd more to get the same game that I could have had on ps4. I'm actually paying a 100 bucks more, because I'm confident in kinect ( Yes, I said it). I believe people actually are underestimating the kinect and it's just matter of a few years before we actually get a ground breaking thing with it, but don't ask me what, I'm no dev.
I'm not paying, I'm investing, I believe I will get a better experience with the xbone and if that not the case, then I'll buy a ps4 later on and play gret exclusives on there too.

Wrong.

Many stick with what they know.

Like they did with the PS3->PS3 or Wii->Wii U?

You are wrong

Fair enough, its your money. But dont start "comparing" the versions when you have already before and after, decided which console to get. There are differences in quality, differences in price that matter to a ton of people. Enjoy your Xbox

And this is fine. You know, I trust all this because it's hard specs. I'm just wondering why I should ever trust DF again? For the past five or six years whenever a multiplat issue came up, I would read their stuff and take it as gospel. Now people are telling me DF doesn't matter, they screwed up their capture equipment, watch IGN videos, go look to Jack-what's it's name-site to get the real scoop? I mean obviously, the PS4 version of BF4 version has better specs, but what kind of crack were they smoking to post that comparison video?

Same here. With Leadbetter and now this botched video comparison, I will always take those DF face off with a big grain of salt.

I mean look at the difference

Alright here we go.

Here is the Jack upload vs. the DF upload screens

Top is the DF video, you can see the crushed blacks

Bottom is the Jack upload, same scene you can see the difference in the wheel black

DF did it on purpose from what I see

Wrong.

and most know both. don't forget that the majority of gamers, even casuals have had a ps2. just because they have a 360 now doesn't mean they will just go with the one. it didn't work for sony on the ps3 either.
