Call of Duty: Ghosts versus Battlefield 4 Screenshot Thread: Serious Grafix

Surprisingly good looking footage.

Everything else aside, it's pretty impressive how far the engine has come.

Look at all dem NURBS.
 
I can't help but say COD looks better then I expected but it's still not next gen worthy.
I played all 3 games on the highest settings with AA off because my rig can't handle that.

We'll start this of with Crysis 3:

Battlefield 4 has some stunning enviroments but so does Call of Duty Ghosts and when you are just playing the game and you are not at one of those stunning enviroments, I feel the quality drops by A LOT, but they can look so much better when they decide to drop the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U and only work on games that are for the Next Gen consoles. Just look at Killzone, that game is worthy of next gen because it looks as good as Crysis 3, most likely even better.

It's kinda sad that in almost every Ghosts screenshot, you can see the same hanging ivy asset being copy\pasted all over the place :P

I don't think either game holds a candle to Crysis 3 as far as graphics technology is concerned.

Let's do a Killzone vs Crysis 3 thread when that game is released :P

I download the ultra HQ video of KZ and while it looks good it's not at the level of BF4 or Crysis 3 (PC versions). I'm sure it looks better than console versions of BF4 though. Definitely the best looking next gen game I've seen so far for console

Those shots from BF4 look very far from being on highest settings. The texture quality is really bad oO
 
In the same way that Source is a heavily modified GoldSrc (which is a modified id3 engine), sure.
Technically they are both the evolution of GLQuake engine. And that shows somewhat in such things as a lack of asset streaming in both engines for example. At some point they'll need to switch to a different engine or code a new one nearly from scratch.

Yep, exactley. I'm not exactley a CoD "fan" but I wish people would educate themselves on what an "engine" is, and the fact that many devs use modified old engines in todays games.

See the post directly above yours. I'm well aware of what an engine is, thanks.
 
if cod engine is truly different now to quake 3, how come they limited the fps after cod4 to 90? fps so you can't get 125fps where the physics change and certain jumps become possible ala quake 3 engine
 
I am very fond of the "photorealistic" approach though I can take the stylized Borderland type game in small quantities.

Same here.

Though I would prefer it when games like Borderlands dont' use textures that are uber compressed and ugly as sin.

(Like every texture on every 1st person gun model in the game)

You call that next gen son??
 
I mean, this is a direct feed capture from The Last of Us:

The game's IQ actually did bother me, but even then I wouldn't say this pic makes justice to the game running.

Did you photoshop in those two characters in the foreground or is that actually real?
 
The problem with downsampling. Is that you also need to pair it with some good AA otherwise DS by itself only provides good IQ and poor AA.

4xSGSSAA+2x2 OGSSAA(Downsampling) is a sight to behold.
They're two different ways of doing the exact same thing. Downsampling is just really costly.

Really hope that the next CoD has real time lighting.

Like I said in my original post I only have Antialiasing Deferred off because my rig can't handle it, everything else is on Ultra. Nevertheless I went back and took new screenshots and now they look better, I'm guessing it wasn't loading all the textures or something.
