DF/JF: Battlefield 4 PS4 vs XB1 videos/screens (900p PS4, 720p XB1)
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
Not going to lie that was kinda harsh to read, I've been a multiconsole guy in the past but only preordered a PS4 after DRM gate but I honestly hate to see this I mean we needed the competition to keep our hobby vibrant and moving forward.

This! Was just wondering lol
An increase in contrast can artificially make textures look "sharper" by making the details pop. As in the more you increase the contrast the less of a difference there is between the darkest and brightest part of an image, so what before was a gradual change in shading/color is now a much starker difference, so the difference between colors or shades (aka textures) appears stronger.

Because the people here examining the IQ in a graphical face-off thead are somehow telling you that you can't like the game?

So, in all fairness.. and trying to be as objective as possible...
Do you guys think that the average family or average gamer would notice the difference between these two?
Here at GAF, we have master pixel-peepers with falcon eyes, so obviously people see the difference... right?
But also.. people see what they are told they are seeing, like the whole RYSE debacle.. (people thought first it was 1080p and everyone believed it but when it turned out it was 900p, then suddenly everyone "saw" it .....)
The MUCH MUCH bigger difference that EVERYONE will notice is the 100 dollar extra price tag and up till this point, MS has not done a good job convincing people about Kinect2, even though it is a far more advanced tech in it.
Basically, if MS would put them selves at 299 and call it a day, these gfx difference will not matter at all, everyone would say stuff like "yeah but at least it is cheaper".
That is what bothers people at NeoGaf the most, why someone has to pay more for less gfx fidelity. If Xbox One would be lower priced than PS4, everyone would swallow the difference like a bukkake show or something similar and then we could go on arguing about games games games..

Clearly MS is having trouble with the cloud in addition to everything else.
I want to know what those icons are...especially the orange one with the 4.
this is a problem that you often see in serious discussion on Audio/Visual forums...what is the picture "supposed" to look like?...
your eye is naturally drawn to things that a bright, saturated, and sharp...this is why when you go down to Best Buy all of the TV's are on "torch mode" with contrast and sharpness jacked up to the sky...
its also part of the reason why LCD's often look better at the store than Plasmas...because the LCD is gonna be bright, probably over saturated, and sharp as a muddafukka...
but if you have your TV professionally calibrated...when you first see it you will probably think its slightly washed out...and relatively soft....but after letting your eyes become accustomed to a "proper" setup...when you go check out your friends brand new TV and you sit in front of it your head will explode because the picture looks ridiculous...
Now, with all that being said...i do personally enjoy a little bit of "pop" to my color and a slight bit of added sharpness...so i do tick the contrast and sharpness up a smidge from its proper settings on my TV...just as i add a bit (ok more like a shit ton) of bass to my audio setup....that would probably make a real audiophile punch me in the balls...

Look at the gifs posted in here.
Why, because they added a sharpening filter and insane contrast? Are you ignoring the almost complete lack of AO and the atrocious image quality?

Is this the game from which people were posting gifs of collapsing building in Killzone threads? And proclaiming 1080p/60? Haha look how that turned out. I distinctly remember reading about Xbone having a lot of 1080p/60 launch games and PS4 with none too.
Lesson: Never believe in early hype, especially Microsoft's. (or, in Microsoft's case, never ever)

It's obviously a friends icon. That's how many of your friends are playing BF4.
edit: beaten by bigboss!
It just makes sense.

If you're not sensitive to aliasing or framerate then it doesn't matter.
If you are, it does.

Wow. Xbox one version looks awful when put up against PC and ps4.

Friends online?
Why you think it questions theyre credibility? Did you read the article? They say the xbox is doing some contrast and gamma tweaking and for comparisons sake decided to run both at 30% setting instead of tweaking it.

Online BF friends. And the Xbox one is clearly disabled.

Honestly, the fact that we need a close-up comparison of a very specific area on the screen switching back and forth shows how similar the platforms are.

As said before, the camoflauge is generated randomly. Some of the PC shots "lose" detail because of that too.

it appears that they might be some form of revolutionary counter to represent how many friends are playing the game.
ya know what is also driving me banana sandwich about this thread so far?...
while we are all sitting here...some say PS4, some say Xbone, some say wash....all of the people that wrote the articles, actually played it, and have seen it IN MOTION agree on one thing...
the PS4 wins, and its not close...interesting...
agree to an extent...but you see all of those areas that look like little white lines on the Xbone version??...that shit is going to move around and shimmer like crazy when in motion...

But the pixel difference is very noticeable in the videos - and those are youtube quality. The real difference will big much bigger.

LOL I'm going to assume mad sarcasm but 4 players online on PSN friends list vs no players online on XBO friends list. Whether that is because XBL doesn't work or because he just hadn't added anyone, I don't know.
Ah....figured. Kinda hope we can turn off icon bar then.
Both versions look good considering both consoles are heavily outclassed by high-end PC CPUs and GPUs. It's pretty incredible how well DICE managed to nearly replicate the look and smoothness of a decent midrange gaming rig. I very much doubt a $400 or $500 PC would run BF4 nearly as good. In fact, I'm sure it couldn't.
They'll go well with their crushed hopes and dreams.
Ohhh shi-

Finally asking the right questions ;p
it's called 'clipping', same as losing detail in black areas, now it is in white areas
Isn't that their new Autolog system for Battlefield?

Digital Foundry is up there with Polygon as sites that have functioned like mouthpieces more than actually doing their job. Digital Foundry has gone out of its way to borderline promote the Xbox One over the past several months.
Haha, image and video manipulation by DF?
Why is the UI scaled up on the Xbox One version?
It's running at a lower resolution, so the UI elements still fill out the same number of pixels on each console, but because there are less pixels in the Xbox One image it appears larger.

The 4 is probably just the number of people in your party
Edit: Wait I don't know if that makes sense for single player. Would they show a party chat like that?

Well you probably haven't played it. Every report from people who have is unanimous.

I'm by no means a very tech savvy person or someone who notices tiny tiny details..but even I can easily tell the PS4 version is better than the XBone version.
No one in their right minds would say the price doesn't matter. It does and is the biggest advantage the ps4 has. It's the more powerful system which is actually cheaper. But it really has nothing to do with the topic at hand
