Support NeoGAF

[Lynn616]

Lol at people saying the xbone version looks better.

It doesnt but LOL at anyone saying it is night and day difference. It is super close.

 

[starwarsfan541]

Still think the X1 looks better. What it lakes it resolution it makes up for in detail.

Preorder saved.

I dont like either system, but the PS4 seems better due to framerate.

people should read the full article, its very interesting.

SteamOS/ Wii U for me this gen.

 

[Duxxy3]

So one is a lower resolution, has worse lighting and more aliasing...


how exactly is that "the same"?

[Psychoward]

Not even 1080p on PS4? still having aliasing problems on both platforms? Hopefully this is just launch window woes.....

 

[Pristine_Condition]

funny how people are skipping over that the ps4 one isnt 1080p either

Funny how people are skipping over the fact that press wasn't allowed to play XBone's multiplayer.

 

[yodathesoda]

Dat magic sauce in the Xbone. Time to fire up your crow boys.

 

[cheezcake]

What the hell is up with those crushed blacks in the XBONE version it looks terrible

 

[Jo-El]

They both look fine. Hardly a huge difference.

 

[Wishmaster92]

 

[Tsundere]

Why are the textures different?

 

[ChiliManiac]

oh snap

xbox; oh snap

 

[GashPrex]

PS4 version looks better. That distorced pixeling is a signal of the lower res?

Also XOne version looks darker, maybe to hide those defects?

Not a huge difference anyway. At leasy not by youtube video.

You think the PS4 looks better in this pic? Looks washed out and blurrier to me, but to each their I guess.

 

[NullPointer]

Sometimes the Xbox contrast makes for a more impactful image, but the jaggies are obvious and do bring it down. That said, the text seems sharper on the Xbox version too.

Not bad, but I'll take the one with fewer jaggies and crank up the contrast on my own.

It doesnt but LOL at anyone saying it is night and day difference. It is super close.

Not when it comes to aliasing and shimmer, which is expected considering the resolution difference.

 

[Netherscourge]

So why no XB1 Multiplayer on display?

 

[ypo]

How did DF make the 900P version look blurrier?

 

[oconnomiyaki]

I cannot get over the Xbox One version looking better.

 

[MilkBeard]

Crushed blacks, oversaturation, 720p, dropped frames (glaringly so in a few instances), noticeably worse aliasing.

No way any one who watched that whole video can say with a straight face the Xbox version is better...

I think it's because it 'pops' more when you look at it in comparison because of the more vibrant colors. But you can see that it's not a very even distribution, the blacks have that 'LCD' effect where they are 'crushed,' as you say.

I'm curious if this is how both games will be represented on our tvs.

 

[CLEEK]

Why are people claim the Xbone has better / higher res textures?

The DF article doesn't state that at all. Just that the Xbone uses some post process sharpening method to make up for the lower native resolution.

 

[The Elite]

From what I can tell so far:

• Xbox One has hardware texture filtering and scaling that can help make up for lower resolutions.
• PS4 is still a stronger console overall.

This is what I'm coming away with.

If I was just getting and Xbone at launch I don't think I would be disappointed though. System seems more capable than some give it credit for. It hides its flaws well.

I'm more than happy to be getting both.

 

[Poker Face]

it looks the same to me.

*shrugs*

 

[I-hate-u]

I am seriously confused. DF says that the PS4 has the upper hand but from those pics X1 clearly has the edge.

 

[Hawk269]

Get your fucking eyes checked lol.

That's the thing. I some screen grabs the PS4 looks better, like those shots of the radio towers etc. but then that screen shot where the hand is on the door handle, not only does the Xbox One version look better, there are more details on the door and the guys gloves.

It is so fucking bizarre.

 

[Glorified G]

umm, they look the same. If this is what everyone is going crazy about, for me this is a wash.

I wouldn't be surprised if you had this post saved on notepad and just waited until midnight to copy and paste it on gaf.

 

[TyphoonStruggle]

X1 looked better to me. But that might be because the contrast makes the textures seem more detailed, or maybe the PS4 has extra motion blur (or some shitty FXAA implementation).

But they're so close, the only thing that matters at this point is performance.

 

[Loudninja]

Some of you are really out of you minds.

 

[Chris R]

Ah, this is why NeoGAF was done

 

[MThanded]

Look at DAT PS4 pushing 44% more pixels and maintaining higher FPS!!

the gap is bigger than I thought

Yeah I think that is the craziest thing here. The framerate test.

 

[Dramos]

... and even after all of this, none of the graphical differences will be significant while playing for the human eye.

 

[Ricerocket]

Crushed blacks in the X1 side, same deal with 360.

 

[BigJonsson]

Holy shit, so that is what 60fps looks like

32 on 32 is going to be insane

 

[shadowsdarknes]

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.

Very selective. PS4 in general stays at 60 more often than the XB1.

The framerate is actually better on PS4.

 

[Portugeezer]

Although PS4 looks better with higher resolution, I am starting to believe the Microsoft money hat, the reworked textures speak for themselves.

 

[cool_dude]

Differences not huge, especially if the game is running at full 60fps. Xbox looks better in most parts on the Youtube 1080p video. Both have aliasing issues during the power lines portion.

 

[Zombie James]

I don't know what the Xbone is doing to the textures, but it really doesn't look all that good. It's like contrast and sharpening post-process filters are getting applied or something.

 

[Rhindle]

OK, wow. My head hurts.

I think it's to the point where I'd have to see both running upscaled to 1080p on my TV to say which is preferable.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Well this isn't exactly as bad as everyone made it seem lol

The fewer jaggies is good for PS4, but it looks to me like the X1 is generally on par or better in most scenes. I'm going to load this up on the TV tonight to get a true comparison. People of either console will probably be happy with either version though. Still picking that up on day one for X1 with my friends.

Bring on the 64 player console Battlefield!

 

[spannicus]

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."

crashes you say?

 

[TheLegendary]

going to call it a wash ladies.

both have their +'s and -'s

Clearly better aliasing on the PS4, but this is not a drastic difference and there are some aspects where textures look better on Xb1. PS4 clearly has the edge, but If the rest of the ports turn out this close then MS really has nothing to worry about. Casuals will have absolutely no idea. Looks like DF commented on the scaler differences as well, so I'm not crazy.

Oh well, even with the huge disappointment of not being 1080p, still looks fantastic. I really shouldn't have looked in the OT today though, as the singleplayer on PC is mind-melting.

 

[AgentP]

umm, they look the same. If this is what everyone is going crazy about, for me this is a wash.

Ya, the same like Bayonetta same. Sucks to be on this side of DF huh?

 

[Cmerrill]

PS4 version looks better. That distorced pixeling is a signal of the lower res?

Also XOne version looks darker, maybe to hide those defects?

Not a huge difference anyway. At leasy not by youtube video.

The Xbone clearly looks superior there, by far.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Ummm the X1 version looks better.

Thought that myself, was thinking the PS4 looks washed out a bit but honestly these YouTube vids don't help, I would rather see them in person

 

[VFX_Veteran]

The textures are identical. There's just increased contrast. Also, XBO is missing Ambient Occlusion.

Not the normal maps.

 

[rudieboy77]

The way it looks to my crappy eyes, XB1= jaggies, PS4 = some kind of soft fuzzy filter, PC = best image quality.

 

[Black Republican]

So after all that the ps4 isn't 1080p?

Activision 》 EA ?

 

[Sleeplessnights]

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?

Eurogamer are attributing the possibility of their capture kit settings.

Curiously, the top end is also affected, causing the image to appear distinctly washed out, as if set to limited range. This is particularly evident on PS4, which is kept free of a comparable black push to Microsoft's platform to compensate. Right now there's every possibility that it could be a capture situation, but it is worth noting that we saw no such issue on our PC captures and after returning to base, the same equipment produced a perfectly balanced picture on our PlayStation 3.

[pargonta]

PS4 factually better by the numbers, and i prefer the look as well.. I noticed those lame power lines immediately on X1.

 

[lantus]

This game just looks disappointing all around if you ask me.
