Tesselation on PS4 only?
Alright, thanks. Just woke up, so I'm a bit out of it. I think I'll grab a coffee and read it in its entirety.

Trilinear filtering really?
What's the point of 1080p if you use trilinear filtering? Seriously defeats the purpose.
Frame rate better one the PS4.... (confused)

Paralax Mapping?
So the stones are sticking out of the ground in the PS4 version, but are flat in the Bone version.
That's weird. Could the PS4 version be using
Easy to say this when Xbox One comes out on top. When it is the other way around then it's a completely different story.

This has to be a bug or something. Anisotropic Filtering is essential and not something you'd trade for a minimal gain in performance.

They have done a poor job with it on the PS3/X360. It looks absolutely horrible on them. Not surprised to see that they botched up the PS4 version as well.
It's worthy to note that Tomb Raider Definitive Edition had better anisotropic filtering on PS4 compared to the Xbone.
Also the PS4 hardware should be better at this specific task because it has 72 TMUs vs. Xbone's 48 TMUs. (While the TMU configuration being equal.)

That looks like the PS4 has Occlusion mapping that the XBO lacks.
Exactly! That's just an assumption based on DF's material, even though they didn't spot this difference.

Because everyone wants a winner. And a loser.
dat PS4
Yeah, okay, that is pretty fucking bad, jesus.
Wait, is that a streaming issue or a texture issue?

It's not tessellation, it's parallax mapping.
Wait a min

PS4 should be able to do 16x AF with little issue.
Seems like a poor port all around, not indicative of hardware differences.

The parallax mapping is prob the reason the game doesn't use AF on PS4. Crysis had similar issues. How did DF not spot this.
Where does this confusion between Tessellation and Parallax Occlusion Mapping come from?

From people who love to debate about graphics without knowing anything about the subject at hand. You know, 95 percent of the people who populate DF threads.

The PS4 version is suddenly darker? And uses parallax mapping?
Pretty much this, I hope we learn why they when with the trilinear filtering thing and higher resolution as the negatives do seem to outweigh the positives when it comes to graphics.

streaming...dude who posted that used the wrong image
Ah, cheers. Why use a still image at all for asset streaming?
That one's streaming. This one is texture.
Thanks. Quite shit, but not as horrifically shit.

Sounds like a real mess. I'm not understanding why a game that looks like this is struggling to maintain 30fps.

Looking at those screenshots, there are a number of sections where the PS4 version has POM and the xb1 does not.
edit: like this:
Edit 2:
Still, you have to wonder why. Crysis 3 and Crysis 2 both have POM in DX11 which can have AF applied to it. Crysis 1 is an exception, not a rule. POM, when coded correctly, should have AF.

double helix and ubi montreal both went on vacation and forgot to submit the day 1 patch
I heard that this game went through development hell. Not sure if I'm right though.
Maybe that's the problem? Tomb Raider PS4 has better AF than the Bone version so this has to be a bug.

must have skimped on the QA
I was all ready to say DF were being biased and idiotic by saying the the Xbone version is better, despite lower framerate and resolution...until I saw those comparisons. Wow...
It's good to see the Xbox version is technically great but what's the excuse for the piss-poor PS4 version? The texture filtering has ruined it

They should notice things like this immediately. Your conclusion sounds very good.
The PS4 one looks like a screenshot from Gears lol.

This doesn't make sense, this seems a bit extreme...
It almost looks like one is using beta textures. It doesn't effect all areas equally. >.>

They're just trying to throw ms a bone. Come on, let them have it.
I can hear Larry typing his Tweet already.
