So are you saying that with the inclusion of AO, the X1 version will have even lower framerates?

Perhaps DF's admitted botching of the PS4 capture?

Pretty damn hard to tell from some of the reactions. People have literally said the xbox one version looks like a ps2 game. A ps2 game.
IMO it isn't just DF footage. IGN footage also showcases a more vibrant xbox one look compared to a softer ps4 look. That isn't to say the ps4 version doesn't look amazing. It certainly does, but there's no missing the appearance of more aggressive lighting on xbox one, or something that gives off that impression.

Yeah the PS4 version looks less sharp in more videos. Must be an extra AA method.
However, it has anti aliassing and looks far more natural. I prefer it a 1000 x better than the sea of jaggies.
Well i have a very similar setup...Asus mobo, 3770k@4.6ghz, 7970 VaporX Ghz Edition@1200Mhz Core/1600 Mhz Memory/ 16gb system ram, 256gb SSD/750GB HDD, Windows 8.1 64bit.
With that said... you will get a locked 60fps on Ultra settings with mild AA & 16x AF. Reason why i know this is that after i built my rig 10 months ago...my neighbor which is a close friend of mine as we game together a lot on consoles and recently got him into PC gaming as well so he wanted me to build him a rig like mine and i played BF4 on his system last night...locked 60fps on Ultra settings on his PC that are just about identical specs to my PC gear. I will have my BF4 on my PC later today..can't wait!!
By the way ...i installed windows 8.1 on his rig last night over his previous Windows 7 and we seen a decent boost in frames per second with BF4 running on Windows 8.1 vs Windows 7...i personally wanted to test his BF4 on his rig before and after the OS upgrade. That proves to be true with recent articles released online as well! Good to see Windows 8.1 having a impact on next gen games so early.

Won't added AO bring down FPS a bit more?
This probably shows the largest difference yet it's not in OP. C'mon Newman.
I just realised that the clouds are actually there in the Xbone version as well. They just aren't lit properly.

The sharpness and contrast have been bumped up to 11 on the X1 lol
The PS4 footage looks close to the PC footage which is good. A lot of people in this thread are being fooled by a bad comparison video. It looks to me that the PS4 version is superior and keeps a better framerate at 900p than the X1 at 720p

Yes, but some Xbox fans think the XBO version looks better so we have balance.
But why can't people just be fair with this shit?.

Did any one attend the Xbox One Tour? I had some hands on time with BF4 and certainly wasn't blown away graphically, it was multiplayer so I sort of anticipated it wouldn't look as good as some of the other footage we've seen.
However, next to the PC and PS4 versions it really is a lot uglier.
I'd be interested in hearing some other opinions from other Gaffers that had a hands-on demo too.

The game looks great on consoles, I have a beast pc but I might just pick this up for ps4. I won't have to deal with kb/m players or dices way of handling joining multi or the campaign (web based access ugh).
You can get an FX-6300, 8GB of DDR3-1600, and a 7870 GHz (with a case and motherboard, of course) for a little more than $500. Considering the 7870 GHz is capable of ~50FPS at 1080p, on Ultra with 4x AA and full DoF in Battlefield 3, I'm more than positive you can get higher fidelty than these console with this build in Battlefield 4.
Image that.

The XB1 version looks as if someone was fucking with the colors in Photoshop. Those blacks look horrible.
this, jaggies are offputting when playing and trying to spot the enemy (IMHO)

I've just figured out the answer to Penello's riddle about whether there would be a time when a 400hp car was better than a 700hp car? It's when the blind man tells you the 400 hp car won the race!
We are fair, you just dont get it.
PS4 version is technically superior, period. You might "like" the look from the X1 versions, but you can sort of replicate the contrast and sharpness with your TV settings, and everyone who sees both version in motion agrees that PS4 is almost on par with PC while X1 looks way worse.
Edit: Also, I see you just found the door. Congrats.

True, but you also have people that are saying they're identical. The best thing to do is completely ignore the posts containing extremist hyperbole and reply to the ones who at least try to retain a semblance of objectivity.

Well Dice did say "one of the fixes"; however, that doesn't mean anything definitive. I'd say both are going to be fine for whoever buys it on whatever console. I'll take my BF4 on a PC though

The DF capture hosed the contrast. I do not believe for one second that the artificial sharpening was performed by them. I believe the scaling on the Xbox One (which is either the built in scaling algorithm, or a custom software one DICE have implemented) is responsible for the artificial sharpness.
To some people, artificial sharpness looks good. Those people crank up the sharpness setting on their TVs and they are happy. Good for them. As many many many people have pointed out, if you crank up the sharpness setting on your TV on the PS4 version, it will still look better than the Xbox One version, if you're one of those people that prefers artificial sharpness.
I am pretty much overjoyed at this whole clusterfuck. This is really the best case scenario for 'popcorn' enjoyment. A final gasp of hope for the people still holding out hope that the Xbox One will somehow triumph when it comes to multiplatforms, all based on an overly aggressive software AA method softening the PS4 version, and a sharpness filter on the Xbox One version.
And we're completely ignoring that the PS4 version runs at a higher framerate. And we're completely ignoring that in multiplayer the PS4 version clearly looks better than the multiplayer in the Xbox One version...
and the large majority of PS4 games aren't going to need any scaling at all, at least at launch, because we're seeing most games confirmed as 1080p.
now was the time to go 'okay, PS4 is clearly more powerful'. however you feel about sharpness, the facts don't lie. you're welcome to prefer the out of the box aesthetics of the Xbox One version, even if you could achieve something better by cranking the sharpness on your TV with the PS4 version, but the ship has officially sailed in believing in parity for multiplatform games.
If you've clung on to that hope, still, based on this... genuinely I feel sorry for you.
You're right, they're white instead.

question in regards to this
as i'm not a PC gamer, is AO a "free" effect that can be turned on, or does it come at a price? and if so how big?
No.
In fact HBAO that PS4 uses is quite expensive on performance.

@FDC1 AA is not explicitly mentioned(less jaggies can be due to resolution)
@Blazzing No hidden agenda here. DF themselves Acknowledged the issue and most of the other comparison mentioned Ps4 version being sharper.
@ty4on FXAA can be the cause of blurriness but not to this extent. Will surely update if the reason for blurriness is mentioned

It could or they've worked out some optimization that gave them the performance they needed to implement it. I would hope they didn't just say, fuck performance and added another expensive effect on top.
racist.
But yeah, that DF thing, especially after reading the other thread, lolol.
56.% more pixels is not a little thing.

Remember that a few months ago, (some) people were believing that the next gen consoles could match hi-end PCs...
I'am not saying that these systems are crap (probably get one for MGS5 or the new Chinese Room's game) but it is a real disappointment for me (technically speaking). I saddly remember the E3 reveal : MS was bragging on stage about BF4 running at 1080@60 on Xbone. And now you give me old gen 720p ? Man...

Ah, I see. Probably should have read the thread. I didn't realise you could even botch console capture. They used the same settings for both consoles?

Just so I'm clear... "parity" does still mean what I think it means, doesn't it?
Reading this thread, I feel the need to double check.

I'm having bad luck with conversations with the dead today.
What isn't fair exactly?
We have face-off threads for every major release, and it's always scouring over details. This is actually the biggest technical gulf in a face off since what? Bayonetta? And of course it's the first of the PS4/XBO generation, so people are going to be more pedantic than is typical.
When you come back, if you don't want to see people discuss the technical difference between versions of a game, stay out of the face-off threads, that is exactly what they exist for.

Maybe they left out AO to get better framerate for reviews /conspiracy theory
All considered. I imagine you wouldn't get the highest quality PSU, but with the right choices you can get all of these things for $550 total. And again, if you really wanted to come right on par with the console, you could save more and go for a cheaper GPU since the one I chose is more capable.
