MGS GZ PS3/X360/X1/PS4 Comparison video

that was a well produced video. smart to slow the footage down so people can see the extra frames. looks like the game might be a little bit special on the ps4.

i lost all my metal gear solid enthusiasm with mgs4, but i'll admit i'm hopeful this game turns out fantastic.

@Playerpat0: Well people are acting like Kojima hasn't had a (justifiable) Sony bias for 15 years. MGS themed systems ,exclusives etc. There's nothing wrong with supporting your own.

For now… There are plenty of games that run pretty close to one another with only slight differences. The two NBA games, NFS, Tomb Raider, Etc… All I am saying is that it seems pretty obvious that one next gen version was a bit more neglected that the other regardless of ease of development. I also think a ton of that ease of development is the fact that PS4 is more off the shelf parts. Xbox will catch up with the new kits in the ease of development front… just like PS3 did last gen.

Didn't say there was something wrong with it. I just don't see this as being a great barometer for comparison when said bias exists and if you look at pretty much all other 3rd party multi plats in side by side comparisons the differences are much much smaller.

Lems can't even DC this one so they stay out of this thread.

The gen only started, remember the PS3? lol, cows seem to forget that.

LOL keep dreaming. 360 games were not running at twice the resolution or twice the frame rate of PS3 multiplats. It's a wrap, Xbone is weak...

There's a bigger difference between the PS4 and Xbone version than the Xbone and last gen versions lol. Xbone is a weak POS confirmed.

Kojima does have a bias for the PlayStation family, but that doesn't mean that his programmers half-assed the Xbox 360 and Xbone versions.

Based on my superior tech knowledge, I'd say that Kojima Studios is the FIRST major 3rd party studio that optimized the PS4 version of its multiplat. Every other 3rd party studio is ignoring the PS4 version because it can run high settings, 1080p @ 30-60 FPS with no optimization. Most of their budget went into optimizing the Xbone version. We cows are a noble race, and I think we should demand better.

MGS GZ was optimized for ALL next-gen consoles, not just the Bone. MGS GZ will be the first game on next-gen consoles where we can witness the TRUE power discrepency between Xbone and PS4 without any subjective bias. Both versions have been optimized and both versions will have the same gameplay, so there should be no argument on linear vs. open-world that tend to pop up on RYSE vs. KZ:SF arguments.

Million of hours and millions of dollars in optimization and the best they get is a last-gen looking open-world game at 720p and crap framerates.

Bold parts for extra lolz

Are you sure that the left picture was from the 360 version? Look at the white clippings on the bottom-left of the left picture and the white clippings on the bottom-right of the right picture. It's clearer than the picture on the right.

After watching the video several times........I give up. All 4 look the same to me. Minor differences at best. I'm sick of these cross-gen games.

That works out for you then, because the Xbox One is ideally suited for gamers with impaired vision.

@edwardecl: True. But they would risk being called biased, since the comparison, though great for consumers, end up showing that there's actually one superior version.

(Open in a new tab or window to see the full difference)

I really am not sure. The Xbone and 360 version look the same to me in still shots. I can only tell the difference in videos because the Xbone version runs at 60fps. I'm just posting what the guys at GAF posted lol.

I think the xbox one is a lot more powerful than most people think. It's weaker than the PS4, but if MGS GZ was worked on a bit more for the xbox one there should have be a clear difference between the 360 and Xbox one version of the game and not what happened here. The xbox one is most likely strong enough to do everything the PS4 can do, but at lower framerates and resolution.

Xbox One/360 versions look identical

Xbone version is laughably bad.

You can keep telling yourself that, but the way I see things, the Xbone is barely stronger than the 360 due to its bottlenecked design. Trust Gflops is at 400, not 1300.

The 360/Xbone versions look similar or is it just me?

TLHBO.... again.

This is getting too easy. Lems can't catch a break

PS4 vs Xbone Lol

The xbox one's design can not lower the gflops of it's gpu. The only thing that the console's design affects is how hard it is to program games on the console. Some devs will be able to take advantage of the xbox one's design and great looking games will happen because of this while some devs may struggle a bit with the console.

Obviously owning both consoles, I'll end up with the ps4 version, but honestly that's about as minimal a difference as it can possibly get without being identical.

Noticed the same.

Bad example imo, think this shows the textures, AA and res differences better:

Again, obviously the ps4 version looks the best, I just don't see what all the big fuss is about. If it wasn't for ps4, I doubt anybody would be saying Xbox One games look bad. And even with that, if you prefer MS exclusives over Sony's, you shouldn't have to be belittled for buying the second-best version of the game that still doesn't look all that bad -- in fact it looks pretty good.

With that said, I don't really think any version of the game is all that impressive.

I think a generation of having it happen to some people has sent them a bit crazy. It's fair for them to have their fun imo now the tables have turned (i mean come on it is System Wars, messing with people is 99% of what this place is).

I also thinks it pretty fair to be critical of the console that's been put out at a higher price that's running multiplats (which make up the vast majority of a console's games i might add) to a worse standard than the cheaper one. They are games consoles after all.

These threads are rarely about the individual instance but more about the overall picture.

:O Holy crap, that's huge.

The uncompressed video from Gametrailers shows the difference very clearly too. The difference is even more in motion because that's when the Xbone's jaggies really stick out.

Indeed. What's even more surprising is that closet lems like WadeFan and FatRibs continue to deny that the Xbone is clearly a last-gen console.

Nice comparison pics. I agree the top right photo of the PS4 looks clearer in some areas compared to the X1 pic below it. For instance when you examine Snake's leg and back, it seems clearer on the PS4. The rest, not so much, and I had trouble telling the difference between the 2. Also, I had to zoom in with my browser and take a few moments to examine the pics. I would characterize this as the PS4 having slightly better graphics than the X1 version, which is pretty much what most press outlets have been stating about this X1 and PS4 difference. I would certainly not say there is a big difference, and for me, this does not compell me to go out and buy a PS4. In motion, I'm sure I would hardly care about the difference and which version I had. XBL's superior online is more of the selling point for me on the X1. However, I certainly understand the importance of this graphical difference to some people who really want better graphics above all else, and with single player games only, it would seem easier to just go with the PS4 version if you have both systems.

I agree also that in some parts, the 360 version looks very similar to the X1 version, and I suspect the differences will be more apparent with the game in motion. However, I could also say this about some of the PS3 shots like the top row. It will be interesting to see how those differences change as time goes on.

The difference is as clear as day when you're playing the game in person and not watching a compressed video. Why do you think testers on twitter were saying the PS4 version was so much better than the Xbone version? Stop acting like a Microsoft salesman.

Here's a good picture showing the massive differences between the 2 versions:

Also, XBL is INFERIOR to PSN this gen. You can continue to keep your head all the way up your ass, but the fact is that XBL has slower download speeds than PSN AND has worse multiplayer netcode, making you lag more (No, multiplayer is not run on Azure servers. Still running on P2P) than you would if you were playing on the PS4.

Furthermore, there are so many more people playing multiplayer on PSN at all times of the day that it's difficult on XBL to get matched in a game with more than 10 people. I played 15 minutes in a BF4 match with sub 15 people while it took less than 1 minute on the PS4 to get more than 30+ people. Check yourself:

Xbone: 22k

PS4: 56k

Ouch, dat 720p

The new update on the Xbox One gets rid of the sharpen filter. Those videos must be made before the new update.

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is apparently lacking the power of the cloud on PlayStation 4

"Clouds on the Xbox One. No clouds on the PlayStation 4. Is this the fabled power of the Cloud?"

May be just me, but even the colors seem better on the PS4. It's also sharper, and has better lighting and shadows. I think it shows the differences very clearly. Also, the worst version seems to be the PS3's.

Haha, yeah I guess you're right. I just remember when I joined this board a decade ago and people could actually have constructive conversations about consoles. It seemed like very few people actually cared who liked Halo or God of War, and I found most people actually wished they had all three consoles so they could play everything.

But of course, the first person who realized they could say whatever they wanted on the internet without getting the shit beaten out of them ruined it for everyone. If only you could take a blow to the face through a computer screen...

For now, I'm afraid I'll just have to be one of the few who has an Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, and PC -- and actually sees the value of each platform without worrying about resolutions and frame rates.

PS4 wins by a long shot. 360 is obviously the worst, but honestly the PS3 and the One are only a bit ahead of it. PS4 or bust.

Metal Gear Solid looks great on current-gen (er, "old gen") systems... Looks like I can delay my PS4 purchase a while longer.

lol really? it looks SO much better on PS4. the resolution and frame-rate make a massive difference. It confirms that I will not be buying the game until I buy a PS4.

Its stupid to them because they believe that their preference is "right". You do as you please since its your money and time.

Yeah you are right about the resolution. (not twice tough)

But take a look at those horrible launch titles for the PS3, and the multiplats to the last year. Bad textures and could not even upscale to 1080p lol.

Calling this a game is an insult to all gamers, Kojima can shove it up where the sun don't shine.
