COD Ghost XB1/PS4 comparions rolling in (list of all updated sites)
- Thread starter chubigans
- Start date
So far all I know is that the game is clearly poorly optimized on next gen consoles and that a worrying number of reviewers seem uncertain about objective differences around resolution and framerate.
Everyone should be able to see a difference between 1080p and 720p on a decent HD TV.
Same for framerate - it should be obvious to any experienced player if its dropping or not. The fact some reviewers think it is and others not seems odd too.
Either way I'm glad I bailed on CoD two games back - more than anything I'm just amazed Activision let such a wonky version slip out at this crucial moment of console gen transition.

Weird that two independent comparisons both show the same low-res PS4 version... especially concerning since I'd think it would look better than it does if they'd fucked up their video capture by downsampling to 720p.
This looks like a native 720ish-p render on the PS4, and it's weird.

where are the bf4 reviews??

TSA used the Elgato Game Capture HD. This isn't really ideal for best video quality since it encodes at H.264 through USB 2.0 which I imagine is probably a low Mbit/s. But with that said the video they showed of the PS4 version is much clearer than the IGN video. I believe IGN just recorded both in 720p then upscaled in their video editing program to a 1080p project.
Even if TSA has recorded the PS4 in 1080p then something is wrong because that game does not look 1080p. So maybe someone is telling porkies at Infinity Ward.
The thing that sites or people need to do is this when recording. First use high quality hardware not these cheap ass gimmick things for $100. Make sure that the video setup is correct in terms of resolution from the console and color space, other things and good HDMI cable. Next record that content in Uncompressed 8 or 10-bit YUV or lossless such as ProRes. Then offer download versions like Digital Foundry or Gamersyde does at 35-40Mbit/s
I don't have access but we need a GAF member to take some videos or screens of the some scenes from the PC version then compare.
The IQ just looks way too blurry in all of these videos on the PS4 to suggest it's 1080p. I'm sure we will find better results though during the next few weeks.
After the vitriol spewed over their last comparison, I'd guess they're taking their time to get it right.

Really is all over the place, different impressions at each outlet!
Won't be able to judge accurately until the game is in homes it seems.

what happened to the 90fps after 3 weeks of dev time with unoptimised code on the ps4?
then we have reviews all over the place. perhaps i should just hide until december when i have both consoles under my tv to avoid the constant fud.
twice now i have almost cancelled my xb1 pre-order.

Compression, it always favours the worst version
Trying to put this on 6 platforms was a really bad idea. It really is a pile of shit and I was really looking forward to a next gen cod.
No, the PS4 version is clearly low resolution too.

game isn't the prettiest of games but its still fun. shrugs.
They could just... go to the store and buy them?Someone said in another thread that DF hasn't even gotten copies of COD on XB1 or PS4.
Makes you wish there was a graphics toggle on consoles.
Like if you say "Man fuck the particle effects I want a more consistent framerate" you could mess with that shit in the menu.
Is it possible some people are reviewing this based on the recordings someone else has made? Hence not seeing a difference between versions due to poor quality compressed videos?
Not sure why that would be the case, but I can't see how you couldn't see the obvious differences between them that have been highlighted by others, especially if you're looking for them...

So what you want is a PC?
I enjoy this way of thinking, but even as an avid PC gamer I think Log4Girlz is right to a certain degree. There is NO reason not to include a framerate / vsync toggle in console games like this. I think that the more complex graphics options should be saved for the PC, just as a matter of course.
Some games are designed from the ground up to a target a certain platform and a target framerate, some aspects of these games wouldn't work if everything was not timed properly. With the latest gen consoles we're getting numerous games amongst consoles and PC's that are natively coded for x86 and are damn near equal in overall parity. While the vast majority of users wouldn't touch these options, it sure would be nice to have the option available IMO.

That's probably not the best time to take a self-photo for facebook.
I normally have difficulty detecting sarcastic posts, but this one definitely is, right?

Really surprised to hear that Jeff would rather play the game on a DS4. The controller must be that good.
I've bought every CoD game since 4. Not out of some devotion to the series, just because they're nice and consistent. They're a satisfactory amount of fun. Nothing has made me want to get Ghosts less than buying CoD4 on PC because it was 10 bucks on the mac app store. It's so much fun.

I like how this one says "Not actual gameplay". Yeah, no crap.

There is a massive color difference. I see the color being the bigger factor in the comparison.
Its just the colorblind mode (its an option in the game, turns red hues pink).
Shsh, looks like a face from 2006/2007

So the game sucks?
My conclusion as well.

Nope
This game is just a big puddle of embarrassment for everyone involved, including the people trying to fool people into thinking one version of this game look better, a turd like this no matter the resolution and the pixels it carries with it, it will always give off the same putrid odor of what truly is.
Keep BF4
Looks like Jonathon Blow to me.
Depends which one you'll enjoy more...
Did you enjoy COD before more than BF or vice versa? That will give you your answer.

fuck that.. TLOU must be the greatest 7.5 game ever
lol
yeah.. It's like we are all arguing w/c turd sanwich is better.. It's still a gdamned turd sanwich. If anything these are all IW issue and not PS4/xbo issue. Let us do ourselves a favor and buy BF4 or KZ:SF instead.
