Digital Foundry Analysis BF4 (PS4 vs Xbone)

You will when they start using the new devkits.

but Youtube is only 30 frames and the game's 60! But you know who has one that plays 60 frames but they don't use it? Freaking Gamespot!

What is with the darker gamma on the Xbox One? The 360 had the same issue. I hate that. Let me adjust the color through my TV, please.

Gonna call it a night. Great to get side by side pics, the full preview/review, and the vids. I'll stand by what my eyes see. A minimal difference at best. Cows are in a frenzy to discount the Xbox One's showing in BF4. No greater evidence they are a bit worried:)

Anyway, by whatever you like bets. But expecting that 50% difference in graphics, you're gonna be very disappointed. Judge with your own eyes. The battle continues, lol...

Just wait....

for dev kits.....

LOL!!!!

Not sure, but the xone version lacks a few things.... and also adds some stuff too.

There is no Ambient Occlusion (HBAO is an Nvidia method that both PC and PS4 have on, but it is none existent in the Xone video.)

Added depth of field to blend the background in, as of what i can see, the Xone version is definitely cutting a lot of corners.

-Hermit.

50% fewer pixels being drawn compared to the other console version and the XB1 still has more framerate issues?

Not a great sign, though it's important to remember we're looking at a launch title here. Plenty of time for devs to wrap their heads around MS's "unique" architecture.

@shawn30: Or get better eyes........

I'm really happy devs are straying away from the 30 fps cap even if the games aren't at a steady 60 100% of the time.

That shit annoyed me about console shooters to no end.

How can the PS4 version have 50% more pixels and better frame rate?

Is the power difference between both consoles that much profound?

@MightyMuna: tormentos has been right all this time

It is. CBOAT and other insiders at GAF tried to tell lems but they denied it, they believed ESRAM would be sufficient to offset the better RAM and GPU of PS4. The truth must sting now. Paying $100 more for 50% less pixels and worse framerates. Sucks to be a lem now.

IGN comparison video.

What is with the weird Cheetos filter on the Xbone version?

Couth can't tell the difference between a scaler chip and limited RGB with over sharpening apparently.

@shawn30:

The difference may be "minimal", but it doesn't change the fact that the Xbox One version is slightly inferior... which is a problem given how its the more expensive console.

Higher cost, inferior product.

No, that's not good news.

They aren't using the newest devkits. They are using the old ones with the old hardware. That's why devs were pissed and was thinking about delaying the games. It'll be pretty funny if EA patches the game with by the end of the year. Don't really care as I'm not getting either game (BF4 or COD: Ghost). lol!! Halo 5 will use the new devkits. We'll see what people have to say when that game is released.

I might have to sell my PS4 on Ebay lol. Good news!

MS failed hard.

the poor guy fought that war against Ron and a bunch of other lems basically all by himself. After all the secret sauce arguments and other spins about balance and latency... Only el tormo was right. ;(

@blackace: That it won't be as good as halo 1,2, or 3?

You spoke to much logic to be in system wars! what are you trying to do? Reason with rabbid lems? get outta here!

lol xbox looks like shit

PC is the clear winner here though.

Yep he was right and Tess, Ron, blackace and all the other lems were wrong. I guess he's SWs official tech king now.

There is a lot of inconsistency with different videos coming out right now. For this pic i was mainly looking at the guys hair which is clearly best on xb0ne.

As far as resolution goes 900p is still weak and 900 or 720p are both not 1080 much less 1440.. So it's evident these youtube quality videos are not worthy for comparison. It's also looking like DF altered their xbone footage. looks nothing like the IGN footage

Oh god. I honestly thought the difference would be mostly resolution, but we have missing AA, worse shadows, missing shadows, missing detail, no AO (that I can see). While the PS4 version looks miles better and even offers better motion blur and HBAO. This is a huge blow for MS.

LOL I hope mods don't ban me soon for being too logical :P

Guys watch this vid.

http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/10/28/battlefield-4-xbox-oneps4-graphics-comparison

Especially at the 2 min mark. The difference is quite glaring.

MS dropped the ball. I'm pissed.

Xone looks like current gen in multiplayer......

smh@digital foundry

Lots of aliasing in the Xbox One but I've gotta say that the shadows and lighting look more appealing on it than the PS4. I'm not sure if that is just the anti-aliasing or some kind of FXAA blurring up the textures.

Zero motion blur on Xbone version's MP:

lol WTF?

Here is a screencap of the XB1 MP. Seriously, does this not look like current gen? Yuck.

@Couth_: Yea DF failed in their comparison vids. Thank God for other captures.

Not a lem and I wasn't wrong. I said lets wait for confirmation. Also, the PS4 version is 900P upscaled to 1080. I said most likely both versions would be 900P upscaled to 1080P and I wasn't to far off on that. Cow got it wrong, as they kept saying it would be 1080P Native @60fps and it's not. lol!! It's 900P native, upscaled to 1080p.

"DF: . On the other hand, the PS4 version delivers a whopping 1600x900 resolution in all modes, giving it a 50 per cent lead in output pixels overall. As well as cutting down on jagged edges, this reduces the amount of pixel shimmer we see in motion on complex shaders or thin geometry, with distant power lines, scaffolding and other elements with sub-pixel elements creating unwanted flickering on Xbox One.

This should surely be a home run for Sony's console, but what is likely to be a software-based upscale to 1080p delivers less-than-stellar returns, and for better or worse leaves the Xbox One with an often crisper looking, albeit much more aliased image."

Stop embarrassing yourself son. I'm not getting the game, but I'm getting both systems.

@blackace: Stop crying dude. The XB1 version looks worse, it's over. Look at the other captures people are posting. Did you see the IGN XB! MP vid? It looks like a current gen game on XB1, no motion blur and little shadows. Do yourself a favor and cancel your XB1 preorder, the domination has won.

Does anyone else find it ironic that the Xbox One version seems to have fewer clouds?

DF is being actively called out on this too, it'll be interesting to see what bs excuses they give.

Lol did GS mistake the 360 version for the xbone? kept seeing 1080 pop up next to it.

Yo couth, ps4 and PC share the same hair, Nappy and happy is exclusive to the xbone apparently.

Yea it's pretty hilarious.

Watch this capture of 60fps gameplay on XB1, PS4 and PC: http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/batt.../1900-6415517/

Well, looks like my pre order isn't changing. I was expecting a bigger difference after all the rumors.

More comparison.

XboxWON!

Seems XB1 MP doesn't have AA compared to the PS4 version (IGN capture). This is why they were hiding the XB1 version from us:

LOL!

LOL at the contrast turned up on Xbone to try and fool people.. P.O.S is a jaggy mess

LMAO. TLHBO.. Next gen is gonna be so much fun :)

I guess this is the new excuse ^ LMAO.

@I_can_haz:

As Crytek said, 32MB of ESRAM is to small to do proper AA.
