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

Yeah, Xbox One version definitely looks more crisp
It's the contrast. The default gamma settings on Xbox are a little whack, making the image darker and giving it what seems to be a crisper look. The opposite gives the PS4 a washed out look. Those settings don't anything to do with the graphics proper though, and both looks can be achieved on both the PS4 and the Xbox One. It's just brightness/gamma settings for the game or your TV.

Interesting too.
"Unfortunately, at this time, we can't provide final verdicts for either the Xbox One or PS4 versions of the game. Microsoft has specified that review scores must be held until November 12th at 9:00AM PST, and we were not given the opportunity to play the Xbox One version's multiplayer component. Regarding PS4, there were serious stability issues that repeatedly led to crashes after multiplayer matches concluded. As the PS4 is still more than two weeks away from its November 15th launch date, it seems premature to assume that this issue will not be resolved and penalizing the game this far from the PS4's launch doesn't seem especially fair. We will further evaluate both next generation versions of Battlefield 4 once they launch on their respective platforms next month."

Looks like they're using some kind of sharpening post processing filter on the XB1. Could be affecting the contrast as well. Looks like the PS4 is only rocking DICE's FXAA. Just speculation though.

So they all look a lot closer than everyone thought. Well I'll be.

Yeah, I'm actually surprised at how much of a difference there is between the three platforms.
Someone with photoshop knows what they must do.

Eek.
Good example right here.
Also, PS4 has a better fps as well apparently, plus some other stuff.
They need to fix that fucking contrast though. The hell was up with that?

It's like they just amped the contrast way up on the Xbone version, which gives the illusion of crisper image quality. Which is fine, because it's mostly successful.
Eek.
All of the comparison tool images on the DF page are like this; utterly damning.
We need uncompressed (aka not Youtube) quality video doing a comparison here. Gamma is fucked on the PS4 version and the X1 version is hella dark.
Xbox one version runs betters and looks crisper overall.
PS4 has higher resolution, and they are pushing it at 900p while trying to maintain 60fps which causes a few issues.
Look at 1:10 in the DF comparison. PS4 version has higher framerate drop.
PS4 obviously more powerful, but since it was pushed to 900p, it lost some performance.

No doubt. It's actually pretty funny lol.
As for the color temperature of each, if you read the article, it is stated that they are still adjusting to the way each system outputs the image to their recording system. They will be doing another comparison when the final versions are released.
I admit it's interesting as to why there is such a color temp difference. The PS4 footage is similar to WiiU footage in that sense (colors are more muted, even blue-ish).
Their videos are hard to pinpoint fine detail though, because they are still of low quality.

Shadows look better on PS4, looks as though it has AO too?

Xbox version does not look better. The blacks are crushed in the video stream giving it more "pop" but totally obliterating any shadow detail. The aliasing in the Xbox version is apparent and FFS, it's ~1/2 the pixel output. All rumors confirmed that the Xbox One is completely underpowered.

My friend was looking over my shoulder just now watching this and actually said: "it doesn't matter what it looks like, it matters what resolution it is."
I wonder if he knows how stupid that sounds. *smh*

Gotta say, Xbone looks better. Res isn't the be all end all apparently. Color me shocked.

PS4 version looks better to me in that comparison video, pretty much from start to finish.
Having said that, as I was watching the video I could already guess people would say the X1 version looked just as good or possibly better even before I read any reactions. The difference is just not significant enough to matter.

Damn it's super easy to see who here doesn't know what "crushed blacks" are and thinks a picture looks better just because it's blacker. You can do that on the PS4 as well, but like DF said they purposely set their calibrations for both to match. All you gotta do is alter your contrast setting on your TV and the PS4 version will look like the XO version if you like seeing a big black circle in place of someone's face.

The mere fact that we have people disagreeing on which looks better says more than the actual video.
Eek.
Eek indeed 0_o
The textures are identical. There's just increased contrast. Also, XBO is missing Ambient Occlusion.

To add to what I already mentioned, I think DICE used the lower resolution on the X1 to allocate resources to higher res textures. You can clearly see the normal maps are higher res than the PS4 version. I guess the X1 wasn't powerful enough for the GI either. And they sacrificed on the polygon count too. You can tell that in the in-car driving scene. Looking at the steering wheel, the PS4 version is much smoother around the edges showing more polygons to make up the curved wheel.
