Lower resolution being upscaled to 1080p and X1 has a sharpening filter applied in the up-scaling process.

Eww that sharpening filter on the Xbox One makes these games look so much worse, what were they thinking?

The DFs in this gen are going to be hilarious. SO BAD. The WiiU is just disgustingly bad and the Xbox One is not far behind in performance. Oh my oh my.
If people thought last gen was something this one is going to blow that one wide apart. 900p and worse framerate? You got to be kidding.

Oof, those xbone jaggies. o_0
Wii U version actually looks better to me than xbone in that pic. Though the performance downgrade is fucking pathetic. WORSE than last gen? Holy shit, that's just flat out unacceptable for a console that came out in 2012.

I doubt they have the VRAM necessary lol. AC4 actually has surprisingly few instances of shader aliasing with just MSAA due to the visual style and the game uses FXAA for foliage (transparencies) by default.

Judging from some responses in other threads, "it pops out more".
Not sure how you can attribute that to tinfoil hat... if anything the original BF4 DF comparisons (or more appropriately the responses to them) show that to a notable segment the "sharpened" image appears better.
so far every game that is upscaled is affected. yes. The alternative is my post above. If you set XBONE to output only in 720p it won't apply the filter. Obviously you are going to want to set it back for 1080p titles.

I used to crank up the contrast on my old old old tube TV back in the day so I could get "better" picture quality and well, be able to see the fuzzy images a little better. It was at best a last ditch effort, and nowhere near an ideal solution, but given I had only 3 channels via antenna, I pretty much had no choice.
Maybe MS is trying to help out those people who still use tube TVs? lol

So Ubi pushed the graphics up on WiiU over the PS360 and it had an effect on frame rate.
Well my copy arrived today so lets hope I'm happy with it because buying a PS4 in the UK is impossible at the mo.

Man that X1 sharpening filter is killing me.
The what is supposed to be brown rope is mostly black.
The PS4 is actually looks pretty close to the PC.

I tried this and it looked way worse. My TV scaler must not be good enough.

The Wii U pic does have less jaggies..but by virtue of the whole screen looking like a blurred mess.

Wow this is just sad. I loved Batman: Arkham Origins on the Wii U, but it looks like I'll probably need another console if I want to play a good version (or any version) or any upcoming 3rd party games. And yes, I know I should've expected this, but to be a Nintendo fan is to huddle around a flickering candle of hope, surrounded by the ever-encroaching darkness.
I do remember reading a thread about it a while back but I thought that was for COD or BF. I don't recall hearing there being a difference in resolution for AC before. lol well then again there's a lot of resolution related news/articles going around so maybe I just got confused
Believe It!
Antialiasing?

This is the first gen where I honestly think the internet is going to influence sales to a very high degree IF this kind of stuff keeps up. People seeing these things are not going to forget them. The One version looks absolutely gross with that aliasing and filter. Who in their right mind would buy this on One knowing this? I just feel bad M let people down chasing some crazy, greedy dream. They deserve to fail this gen if you ask me. They have done everything wrong IMO.
It really does... The resoltion difference would be very minor if it didn't have that filter.

water looks good for wii u. xbox one. it just jumps out at you. look at the highly detailed vegetation in the background.
XBO version looks disgusting.
Because their bet was that to the casual observer, being over sharp and using black crush looks so much better, or something.
It's the same crap electrical shops here in the UK pull with Televisions, using the worst modes possible because apparently being sharp enough to cut your face and missing half of shadow detail attracts people.
As this shows, it looks horrendous, but it must be working for some people, considering the prevalence of the practice.

Yeah, you can't honestly sell shit like that. Near broken performance.

But I was told the Wii U version is superior to PS360 in the screenshot thread...
Love my Wii U, but it's time to lay all multiplatform hopes to rest
Oh. MSAA blurs the image?

LOL, those usually people who love Nintendo and just cannot deal with the fact that system is on its way out of the main competition. The FPS in these ports is just terribad.
This faceoff is just insane. I really hope M is working on their tools.
It's going to turn out exactly like this, I'd imagine.
Wow ... this really shows the difference between the resolutions. Ouch.

You know honestly, solely off of that screen, I'd take the wii u over the xbone. At least the wii u won't stab my eyes out.
Jpg with high compression .. Makes them all look bad. Been playing this on PC.. The game can be beautiful at times.

SGSSAA chews through VRAM like it's nothing.
It really doesn't.
The two middle images show a nice and fairly detailed background vegetation, with a solid rendering of the boat's ropes.
I don't understand. The Wii U is an eighth generation console, along with the Xbox One and Playstation 4. So why would they say "both next-gen consoles" in regards to the Xbox One and Playstation 4, leaving out the Wii U? It seems as if an error was made. They should really correct that as I am liable to not take them seriously if they are unable to get their facts straight.

XB1 versions looks like the Wii-U version.

Microsoft's probably working with them during the delay. maybe.
Never listen to Wii U fans in screen shot or hardware speculation threads.
Shit performance for the Wii U version?
