No doubt man. I cannot stand when people do not calibrate their televisions. It just bothers me to no end. I have to leave the room. Xbox One IQ looks horrific in the extreme. This is worse than any faceoff but the bottom tier ones. And even then I am not sure. The amazing part is that this is going to be normal.
You can see all in the blue sky around the ropes.
When I get home tonight i wi take a screen shot of the PC version to show what it really looks like.

Between the two, obviously get the PC version. The WiiU port is serviceable but the PC version is going to be better.
that's not what I asked. what kind of compression are you saying there is?

Apparently, the cloud has been hooked on hard drugs for the last few months. Rehab will take some time. When it gets there.

Yup, the non-filtered screengrabs looked so much better, you could actually see different black levels.
The screengrab trick would not make for "proper" comparisons though, it would be completely misleading as the image that is output to your TV is filtered, and that filter is not really optional.

Dude, you can cut your hand on those jaggies man. Nice try though.
720p nutters be all over the place.
My question is what and the hell is drastic for you people?

Remember pre-release when everyone was proclaiming the Xbone had an advanced shader that output 720p to look better than a native 1080p framebuffer?
Some people thought the shitty crushed black and jacked up contrast on x360 games were awesome, so much pop, so MS decided to double down on the Xbone.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
and to think so many people were swearing blindly over the wiiU version lol...
they should've expected the same after the exact same happened with Arkham Origins.

You can see the compression artifacts clearly. What are you talking about? Because it's a png? You can compress pngs. You can also take a IMG that's compressed and turn into a uncompressed png and still see the artifacts from the original image.
Just sayin' lol. Also, why do the Xbox One screenshots look weird?

AC3 WiiU sold poorly, so I think that they had to cut the budget or something like that.
It's the only explanation I can give myself.

Because it's 900p upscaled to 1080p with sharpening applied.
Never said it wasn't significant at all. There is a significant difference, but it's not as clear cut as it was going from PS2 to PS3. I think Battlefield 4 shows a better night and day difference between all platform than AC4.
Welp, there it is. This image bugs me more than any other X1/PS4 comparison. I don't mind the BF4 differences, but the sharpening filter thing is going to be a problem. Is this just driver/sharpening filter problems or the X1's gpu just not cutting it? I'm hoping it's the former.

That is subjective opinion on the difference
From a technical perspective it is a larger increase from previous gen to previous gen because that's how math works
You initially said
which is completely incorrect

Because they know the lay person will think the over sharpened picture looks better.
Ex:
I'm not saying that there isn't a difference, it's just not drastic. BF4 made the difference between current and next gen more obvious. That's drastic.

Good to hear. I'll be getting this as a gift and was looking forward to playing it.
In terms of its release period, it's a next-gen console.
In terms of power, it belongs to the PS3/360 generation.
Same with the Wii, it belonged to the PS3/360 generation in terms of release period, but in terms of power it belonged to the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube generation.
Thanks for correcting me. My mistake.

BF4 released at 900p on the ps4 and 720p on the xbox one so I'm not certain about any sort of forced parity - i think it's just a coincidence brought on by games rushing for launch.
That didn't make it look any better...

I really don't appreciate the author sticking this inflammatory statement in at the end:
I'm not trying to say that PC is worse/better than PS4, only an alternative.
Console is not automatically inferior to PC graphics experience. It's becoming tiring going on internet gaming sites and seeing this statement almost as if to laugh at console people. I will not regret buying a PS4 and people shouldn't be trying to convert others to PC instead. I don't understand why he talks about PC being better value. It's almost like he has done no research into what powerful graphics Sony stuck into PS4 for $399.99:

Crytek realized how crap the hardware scaler was so wrote a software scaler to bypass the hardware one.

Anyone with some common sense could have seen the future of the WiiU by watching this year's E3.
You just need to take a look at this list and notice how pretty much everyone has bailed out.

Holy fuck. Wii U>Xbone in this.
This reminds me when I tried Sweet FX with too much sharpening on PC for the first time. At first sight the sharpening looks good, but then suddenly you realize how it just ruins the complete image.

Sorry if I came across as aggressive. Just that from a technical aspect ACIV does show the changes from Last Gen to Next Gen is significant
I would actually agree that BF4 is a better example of Next Gen goodness
DF usually exaggerate on frame rate issues

PS4 version looks and runs great for me. I love 1080p naive resolution. Nothing beats native res, except downsampling on PCs.

It will be fun to look at and cringe though.

No problem, I plan on playing this on PC anyway
