Bad captures. Look at JackFrags PS4 videos.

Just from those gifs and screen grabs it looks like the XB1 version looks better. Saying that I haven't watched the videos on full screen. Even further, I'm not getting this game any more because everyone says the SP campaign is crappy and that is all I'm buying it for...

Thanks for this post. A lot of users should play with their settings lol.
But the PS4 textures look closer to the PC ones in terms of coloring and lighting. Are you suggesting that the XB1 is superior to the PC version?
How dare you accuse my bro of confirmation bias. He's probably the most neutral/objective member we have on GAF at the moment.

There is a staggering difference here.
Seriously, the PS4 version seems to use 256MB of textures like PS3. Blur, blur everywhere.

Ya those PS4 clouds.....
Read the op.

More natural lighting, better anti aliasing, higher framerate on average, higher resolution.
*shrug*
I mean Xbox one looks great too, but yeah I'm scratching my head at some of the responses in here.
Actually, you're right, the 360 DID do that, didn't it? It's entirely possible that they've decided to do the same thing on XB1. As long as there is a way to correct it (which appears to be the case), I'll be OK, but it's really dishonest and stupid.
There's a lot of delusion also apparently.

Because digital foundry is in the market of getting clicks from console players who want to know which version is less sub native res or which version has worse texture filtering or which one tears a bit less than the other.
Last gen they kept comparing the console screenshots to 720p screenshots on pc (lol)
And I believe before that (though I may be confusing the website here) they used some low end pc and didn't even crank up the settings.
It would piss off ms and sony (who provide them with their pr material and early builds that they use to make their comparisons) if every single comparison with small differences looked stupid compared to proper screenshots of the pc version
It would also lose them a lot of viewers if every article showed that they are just playing a vastly inferior version...
I think you need to sort your glasses out lol

Pretty much. It's incredible. I personally don't like to have my games look like the screen was smeared with vaseline and I feel like I'm not alone.
Or oversharpening on the xb1, i cant believe we are going around and around on this people really should read dark10 post and the op.

Why would they use their own upscaler having the PS4 its own one? ( not like in PS3 where was none ).
Or learn to read the articles

We already knew that BF4 is running at a lower res tho
Sure.
The ribbons on the front are much easier to distinguish on the PS4 pic. I can count seven on the PS4 and three, maybe four on the One. Xbox One is the one with all the jaggies on the truck and bright reflection from the ground. Lightning is quite different and it seems like the pictures were cropped so the comparison is a bit flawed.
XBO has cooler camo patterns.There is a staggering difference here.

Are people serious when they say the Xbox One version looks better? It's lower res, has lower fps, the jaggies are insane and the contrast/shadows is all messed up, dark areas are so black they eat all the details you see in the PS4/PC version.
You prefer them smeared with chocolate?

I'll spell it out for you as you're having a hard time understanding.
PC version:-
Xbox One version:-
PS4 version:-
The Xbox One and PC versions both have the same textures on the arm and the skybox which shows the Xbox One version was built off the PC build.
For some reason they PS4 version is different.

I haven't seen the blurriness or washed out effect on the PS4 version in any other footage or screencaps from other sites either. I would give Digital Foundry the benefit of the doubt on this, but we know their history of late.

This is what I don't like about the PS4 version.
Not sure what it is, whether the solution to aliasing is causing it or whatever, but the PS4 version looks very blurry - which is why I prefer looking at the Xbone version, which actually has contrast.

All i've learned is that if my Ps4 per order got cancelled and I got an xbone this holiday I wouldn't be disappointed.
This really is the best side by side comparison i've seen. Shows whats lost from one version to the next pretty clearly. Pretty undeniable.
How people think that the lighting on the Xbox One version is better is beyond me:

Well, good news! You can make your game ON ANY console or PC look like some Instagram photo on ANY TV that you want. Just go right into your contrast settings and crank it to the max.
You're not wrong to enjoy less detail, less stable framerate, horrible aliasing/shimmering and missing lighting effects. But it's definitely an odd preference to have.
Sure.

The gun is on a angle bro......look at the left hand position.....He is doing that Idle gun thing...That is why you can't see the "Ribbons"

Then oversharpen the PS4 version, because it gives more texture detail x 1000.
random doesn't mean an infinite number of possibilities....DF clearly states that camo and even ground textures seem to be randomly generated...
considering EVERY other comparison does not have the oversaturated colors...yeah i think its a pretty good bet
to be fair when youve read the same comment eleventybillion times because people dont bother to read...its annoying

it looks a LOT more natural on the PS4. The dark areas are completly crushed on the XBOX ONE version (a lot of detail just vanished). The aliassing is just horrendous. textures are a bit charper though (due to equally horrendous sharpening. turn that shit off).
It's as if they turned on Full Range RGB while it wasn't supported.
Calm down, bruh, The TOS doesn't force people to read the thread before giving us their wonderful opinions.

Where as the Xbone version looks grainy and razor sharp...contrast is far too high. Its pretty obvious textures are the same, but personally i think the contrast doesn't do the game any favours on the Xbone version. Would prefer the PS4 version to be crisper though. PC footage I have seen also has soft image as well though
Noise is not texture detail. You people are crazy.
I thought that difference would be bigger. Lack of HBAO, resolution cuts and a worse quality of FXAA is not really that big of difference for 50% difference in CU.
It was quite logical that there wont be 50% performance difference between two platforms and we have first proof.
Interested to see MP comparisons from retail units, because thats performance meat of BF games.

You DO realize that those comparisons were designed to eliminate resolution as a metric, right? It's common knowledge that the PC can use any desired resolution but that's not the point of the comparison.
Uh, this is proof of a more than 50% increase in performance. That's precisely what the difference in resolution represents.
Watch Jack Frags videos. The blurriness isn't nearly as bad as these screens make it seem.

I think you need to accept the fact that "better" is subjective, and that some people prefer the sharper look of the Xbox One version to the blurrier PS4 look.
The fact that there's a lot of people getting bent out of shape over people's aesthetic preferences about a game's graphics is just pathetic to a frightening degree.
