3 images that look pretty much the same, then one that doesn't.
Uh?
It honestly seems like it should be better.
Ask yourself if your friends are going to be playing the game in a month when the multiplayer becomes available.

As someone with bad eyesight who isn't wearing glasses right now, they all look basically the same to me. PC high looks slightly better.
The missing subsurface scattering seems to make face look real, real rough.
I'm disappointed PC didn't get tesselation or more a physically accurate ambient occlusion option (HBAO).
Regardless of which of the three platforms you play it on though, I think the game looks really good. The lighting is really good and the colors are vivid but natural.
edit: Oh, Nvidia did actually throw in the option for HBAO enabled via drivers. My bad then.

I was in that boat and bought the PS4 version for that reason.
But with the online servers hardly working thus making FOB unplayable, I'm having doubts that MGO will launch without problems....
Either way, since I'm really liking the game, I'll probably double dip and buy it for PC as well when it goes cheap during Steam sale.
Having high hopes that someone would make mods. Like skins, texture enhancement mods the GTA or Skyrim ones. And maybe a huge project like a MGS1 fan remake via modding?! =P
How many games 900p 60 fps locked you seen on xbone?
They did play a lot of GTA online which I missed out on since playing on PC. I didn't really regret that though. PC perks made up for it.
But something tells me they won't be playing MGS Online.
You're a dog. I like dogs. I'll do as you say.

Is SSS that much more demanding?

My only complaint with the PC version is there's no tessellation. Flat rocks really stand out, ironically. That said it's very stable on PC and the engine is obviously well made. A few more bells to go with the whistles would've been nice, though.

I remember thinking this when GZ comparisons came out, but goddamn does the PC version look more populated when I can actually see everything.
All in all, a great performing title on all platforms.

I don't see the PC version to be that much better... and it doesn't even hold a framerate advantage this time around

One noticeable difference is extra light sources on PC which really add to the scene.

The PC version is clearly vastly superior. It's like the engine was made with PC in mind first. Amazing work

Isn't that what KojiPro stated? That it was built for PCs and then to scale down?
Or am I misremembering?

I think someone found a way to unlock the framerate without game breaking oddities, so there's that.

I finished the game on PS4 as I got it early, but my plan was always to finish the story and then start again on PC to go for 100%.
GTX 970, running at 1080p - I barely notice the difference from the PS4 version. It's better, but it's hardly night and day, plus the sensitivity of the right stick (same DS4 as I use on my PS4) for aiming feels strangely off.
I'm sticking with my PS4 save.

The difference in image quality when downampling is absurd.
In this game in particular the shimmering at 1080p is quite irritating.
implying the framerate wont eventually be unlocked

970? Go for 1440p.

Isn't that only at mother base where there's lots of railing? Out in the field it looks much cleaner ( well on console)
Maxed PC version looks quite a bit better than the rest but that's no surprise. The game still looks great on all of these versions.
Hmm I disagree. MGS5 has way less shimmering than most PS4 games I have played this gen. It's the first thing I noticed as far as graphics go because I'm usually very sensitive to it.

why didn't they use 4k settings.
It was being built when the specs of the consoles weren't known so that's all they could aim for while making it stupidly scalable. They assumed there would be a large pool of fast graphics RAM like PCs which is why the engine has always had a harder time on XBox 1.

Don't forget it's also cross gen.

Suprised they didn't mention number of lights at a distance the PC version has over the consoles - that's like the most obvious difference.

Some of the pictures OP chose are weird as hell. For instance, the picture he chose for SSR doesn't even show the difference:
As for the draw distance, the best example between the default PC settings and the consoles is actually where the cursor is already automatically placed in the article:
This is only the definitive edition article. Wait for the definitive edition remastered article
In case anyone missed it -
Because 0.07% of Steam users have 4K monitor as their primary display.

But most 4K comes form downsampling, not native displays.
Any option or alternatives for AMD owners?
DF is milking the MGSV coverage as mad. They will most likely create a separate article for 4K.
Yeah that's pretty much what everyone with a 970 does. Locked 60 for me at all times with a few settings turned down.
How many 1080 60 fps locked you see on PS4? I don't think that's really important. The disparity between two with Fox Engine games has been atypical compared to most other games.
Not with MGS 5. 900p vs 1080p is what you'd expect considering the hardware gap.

Yikes, what happened with the skin shader on XBO? Looks awful.
