We all seen same setting pictures and you can see that 99% picture is like same. Well, problem is that usually PC screenshots are in lowest settings when compared against console version.

Look how huge difference really is. First screenshot is PS4 version, second is PC versio

Yeah.

The more important difference is control and performance. Some games are made entirely better because they don't suffer from the limitations of a console controller, and of course performance (along with better graphical detail) goes a long way in providing much better experiences. Mmmmmm, buttery smooth framerates...

Pixel counting is not something I enjoy doing. Mainly because I don't know how to count.

Stills do not do it justice... although I cant speak for this game directly...

Screen shots for X1 and PC versions of Dead Rising 3 are similar... but once you see them both in action, there is no competition. I would assume its the same for Assassins Creed.

Assassin's Creed Unity is like a beautiful girl who's only beautiful from afar. From up close, there's those acne, pimples and red spots all over the face and you're just like ewww

In AC: Unity alone the differences between PC and PS4 are pretty significant. The PC version not only has greater frame rate and resolution, but:

HBAO+ Ambient Occlusion + PCSS (Nvidia ShadowWorks - better looking & softer shadows) - more realistic lighting

PC has far less aggressive LOD culling (characters look better farther away and not like lumps of clay vaguely resembling humans)

Tessellation on PC (either current or about to be patched in; tessellation gives better looking details, smoother textures, more realistic surfaces, and more. No tessellation in the console versions.

PC has higher resolution textures, shadows, more and better quality AA/AF options available

Yes. But problem is that most compare videos or photos looks 99% same but when you playin in game, then you can see huge differences.

@FreedomFreeLife: yeah, I see it's better, but it's not like the PS4 and Xbox One versions are ugly. I guess I just don't really care honestly.

If you own a high-end rig and you're playing on the right monitor, then you probably already know where these differences are.

Btw, ACU probably isn't the best example.

The graphical differences are EASILY noticeable....but not always big. Depends on the game.

The performance difference are EXTREMELY noticeable. We are talking 20-30 fps vs 60+ fps.

Who really gives a shit?The ps4 and xbox one look good enough.

A majority of graphical comparison/bragging threads on SW are from Cows and Lemmings for the last 2 years.

They can't have it both ways.

AC Unity is the best looking Assassin Creed game to date and probably the best looking free runner as well. The thing is you just need a beefy PC to enjoy it.

You can notice a difference in the initial screen, before pressing play. In playing the video, there are notable differences, including texture resolution and quality of lighting.

Stop being stupid.

Compares both systems with still shots.

Obviously console will win once in motion. Cinematics >144 Fps.

They don't see a difference unless its a ps4 vs. xbone debate.

In that situation they can see the difference between 24 fps and 28 fps. From 1080p to 900p. And those crushed blacks.

On Ultra setting it doesn't even come close, if you actually look closely at the textures of the X1 and the PS4 you can easily see the difference. Too bad the game runs like ass on Ultra.

Wow, they actually got the native frame rate on that video too.
