Is it odd I find the XB1 versions of those shots to look better? Just look at the black dudes head and hair. Looks sharper and not blurred unlike the PS4 version.

The two are largely identical - you have to really look hard to find any differences, and when you do, the XO stands out as slightly more sharper and colourful.

Yeah, Xbox One version definitely looks more crisp o.O

So again confirmed the PS4 version has 50% more pixels onscreen + ambient occlusion... otherwise there's a difference in brightness, just like PS360.

This. Holy shit, the PS4 looks washed out color wise for some reason. What is going on?

Yeah they had some discussion of that in the article, resolution aside I kind of prefer the color pop in the Xbox One version. Its tough to tell though since we're watching a video the color will be affected by the settings of your display at home we're using to watch the video.
 
Ok xb1 actually looks slightly better. Shocking and hilarious at the same time.

No it doesn't. Go look at the image comparison shots. XB1 clearly falls behind and the resolution is apparent.

The PS4 image is washed out and DF acknowledges this in the article.

And the resolution difference is only going to become more apparent on an actual TV rather than watching compressed youtube footage.

Also, the PS4 maintains a better framerate.

Holy shit the X1 version looks terrible.

720p with artificial sharpening and increased saturation? Yeah no.

Xbox One version definitely looks nicer to me at a glance. Both look pretty much the same though.
 
I find this end statement odd

On the merits of what we've seen so far, Battlefield 4 is already set to be a formidable launch window effort from DICE. Our observations so far reveal a clear gap in fidelity between PC and PS4, and again to Xbox One, but sub-pixel break-up aside, based on what we've seen so far, the Microsoft console manages to hold up despite the undeniable, quantifiably worse metrics in terms of both resolution and frame-rate.

So there's a noticeable gap between PC and PS4 (expected) and then again between PS4 & Xbox one but then they throw in some consolation prize at the end? I'm also curious how the Xbox one multi will turn out

Yeah. Despite the resolution difference I saw things in the Xbox One version that bothered me less than the PS4 version. I think I'll stick with my PS4 preorder though.

Yeah, it is weird. Towards the end, where you can see the text printed on one of the guns, it looks clearer on the Xbox One version, which if it is running at a lower resolution, that should not be the case. Based on the video alone, to me the XO version actually looked a little better. Jaggies are hard to tell on the video, but they seemed the same in that respect.

This is so fucking weird. Could the Xbox One's up scaling be that good? My head is still spinning, but my eyes are telling me the One's version looks better, but my brain is not processing that because of the resolution difference.

All I get from this is that they both look fine, PS4 version has a better framerate and resolution but apparently PS4 has a shitty upscaler, and both pale drastically to the PC.
 
The Xbone coloring is overcompensating I think. Reminds me of TVs at stores that are on torch mode to attract the eyes of consumers and then you see the plasmas on the wall that look dingy in comparison. Nearly every Xbone screen shot and much of the video is completely crushing black detail ( I mean that in a bad way) many times the entire assets are lost in the black, the trade off is that it appears more colorful.

To me the PC looks the best (obviously), but even then there are times where the PS4 I feel has the more natural black detail and color.

Edit: and in screenshots the PS4 version will be called washed out, but pay attention to the amount of black detail lost in the Xbone image. That washed out look is preserving black detail.

Noticed jaggies in both, but much more in XB1. TBH, framerate matters more to me than all this other stuff.
 
Wow it is like people watched the first opening scene of the video and then stopped watching.

Watch the whole thing, the X1 version looks god awful when you can actually see more then just a model underwater.

You can hardly even see things in the background sometimes in the X1 version due to the horrible jaggies.
 
Lol @ Jack Frags video going up to 1440p. PS4 1440p confirmed! XD

EDIT: This looks nice to me, don't know how comparable to the PC version, but far and away a step up on the 360 I would have had to play this on lol

The blurriness is pretty bad on the PS4 but everything put into consideration I'd still go with the PS4 version since the way the objects look in a distance would drive me insane.

The difference is alot smaller than I expected and was lead to expect by some people on this site. I'm honestly second guessing my pre-order right now. I prefer the Xbox exclusives and the only reason I went with PS4 was because I thought there was going to be a huge difference. Fuck.......

Well, I learned my lesson about not letting a few hyperbolic GAF members sway my purchasing decisions. But I don't know what to do now. I convinced one of my friends to pre - order a PS4 and if I cancel, he'll kill me. What do I do?
