They said others sites claimed XB1 version superior... that happened?

1080p isn't a buzzword. Having a better resolution, especially in a game where you're picking out targets hundreds of meters away, is important. I think they made the right choice.

so what happens now in regards to hitting 1080 on both platforms? do the developers keep trying to get that bullet point on the box or do they face the truth and build the game to the strengths of each console?

And he truth is that hidden FPGA turns it in to a supercomputer...LOL
Oh you got me going to read some MisterX, funniest site on the web. Comments are priceless.
People put so much stock into that quote back then... kind of funny now.
I don't think we can really predict any consistent trend beyond "More games will be 1080p on XB1 probably."
Well, that and a few over-zealous fans of the other side thinking both versions of a multiplat running at 1080p means insidious forced parity or something goofy like that.
What I really want to know is how the updated XB1 dev tools are making 1080p easier to achieve. If ESRAM was usually the limiting factor for resolution, are these new 1080p games doing some sort of conga line to put bigger buffers into that limited 32MB? Are they using the main DDR3 memory to greater effect? Were some games actually limited by fill rate and disabling Kinect gave them the extra GPU cycles they need? Would love to have some developer share the details at some point.

ordered the superior ps4 version. it should get here today 
i got the collectors edition. I'm glad to see PS4 getting the better versions. ps2 and ps3 got some worse versions of games but i always prefer the PS consoles because they have superior exclusives IMO with ps4 it will better multis and exclusives. Sony really did well making a more powerful console that was also the cheaper option. more power and cheaper is just a no brainer when looking to buy 1 of the 2 that get 99% of the same games.

The PS4 is Superior yet again
Whats going on here though?
Either filtering, or the texture isn't completely loaded.

Game easily has AAA IQ. I was really shocked because I went with Bound by flame expectations.
Only thing that really needs fixing is sound. People always sound like you have them near you when they are like across the other side of the map which is stupid given the nature of the game and some buggy cam kills and AI sometimes get stuck

Dear heavens almighty, the tearing on Xbone.
Slow DDR3 and the pinhole eSRAM strike again. It worked fine with subHD framebuffers last gen. This gen with 30MB+ framebuffers minimum, its a liability.

Tearing is an exclusive Xbone feature for this game.

I'm loving the image quality on the PS4 version. In fact, the game is so crystal clear the levels could be twice as big (their huge already) and even without binoculars I could probably make out every detail. This is what you want in shooters, especially a sniper game. The only thing pissing me off are the textures taking a couple seconds to load in when I first start playing. Screen tearing is a deal breaker for me so I'm definitely glad I chose the PS4 version over the ONE otherwise I'd be pissed.
I couldn't find any information on Google if the devs used the XOne June SDK for this game. They mentioned in February that they had a new SDK that let them reach 1080p on the XOne...but that was February.
If not, what are the chances they will go back and iron out some of that horrendous tearing with the Kinect not Pacman'ing resources?

Said it before I'll say it again. We'll know the true extent of the gap between the consoles when The Witcher3 and Arkham Knight drop.

Does it? They say the PS4 version looks as good as the PC version at ultra.
I wasn't in love with the first two but watching reviews and gameplay of 3 is making it shoot up my gamefly queue. Thank God there isn't that horrific screen tearing in the ps4 version. I can survive some framerate and resolution issues but screen tearing is a borderline deal-breaker for me.

Did you watch the video of the framerate test?
Both console versions are all over the place. It looks like it approaches 60 when it's not bouncing around in the 30's, and 40's.

Really enjoying this game (even on Xbox One). I haven't noticed too many issues in my playthrough so far (On the last level).
Played the first once years ago, skipped the 2nd, but this feels like a great game to tide me over in the summer. Loving all the options objectives and collectibles. Between this and Wolfenstein: TNO I'm on Nazi-kill overdrive! Kinda wish they would have included swastikas in the game though.
Love all the automatic clips it records, and "Xbox, Record that" seems made for this game.

Looks and plays fine. You would not notice the difference unless you had them side by side paused and had your face two inches from the screen. But hey, if that's your thing good for you. I just like to play games and enjoy them on my platform of choice.
DF threads might not be the place for this argument.

Not actually that important
Ugh, I've honestly never done this but yeah, order canceled
-_-
Even tho it was super cheap (28EUR shipped at Play-Asia) I still feel that I would be bothered by so many graphical compromises and probably thinking I should've gone PS4 all along
edit:

or I could play/beat it real quick and sell it immediately for just 25EUR... mmmmh you know what, maybe I shouldn't be so quick to pull the detonate button
Yea I know. Warrior grounds.

Tesselation and higher res says otherwise to be fair. So yes, in the end, PC version will always be better. But it sure doesn't prevent anyone to take PS4 version.
Digital Foundry articles and the threads about them are specifically made for talking about the technical differences between different versions of a game. If you don't want to talk about those things, you can post in the game's Official Thread instead.
Dash Kappei

Link to the hilarious stuff? Don't wanna navigate that looking for the lulz
Then what are you even doing in this thread?
Theres a little more than just "talking" about technical differences going on here. Which I have no problem with. I was referring to wolfenstein anyway.
Dash Kappei

Also, according to whom' standards "I would not notice the difference unless had them side by side paused and had my face two inches from the screen."?
"Alternatively, if you can run in 1080p with 4x SSAA at a consistently smooth frame-rate, this opens up the possibility of gaming natively in 4K using the ultra preset (with super-sampling disabled) - a stunning experience that goes far beyond what the PS4 or Xbox One versions can muster."
So ps4 it's not as good as the pc version? What's your point?

The point is that he is replying to someone who is claiming that it is as good.
Ah, I haven't seen. My apologies.

They should've gone with parity. Don't want to make Xbox One owners feel like they bought the weaker console or anything. That might make them feel bad.

Not warrior grounds at all. It isn't a thread devoted to how much fun a game is and how much fun you're having and fun fun fun (god, I hate the word 'fun' now), it's a Digital Foundry face-off thread.
Not fun-off; face-off.
This is not the avatar of somebody who cares about image quality, it's almost as bad as that blurry-thing StuBurns uses.

That avatar is pre June SDK. Just you wait.
That's not the lazy devs excuse. That's priorities and deadlines. It's not that the devs were too lazy to tweak it it's that they didn't prioritize the xbone version to do it in time.
What's shocking is that people thought the PS4 version looked as good as the PC version.

Ultra is not the max setting on PC, there's 2.25x and 4x supersampling that is very demanding
Well that is my question. Does this game use the June SDK that frees up the Kinect resources.
I can't find articles that say it does, only ones that suggest the devs got a new SDK in February that allowed them to get to 1080p on the XOne.
That's not shocking at all. It's right there in the DF article.

Also "Lazy Devs" again? Yep, that's the problem. The developers.
The sooner 1080p parity is dismissed for the XBone the better. Everyone buying the XBone knows the PS4 version of multiplayers will be superior, yet they've happily purchased their console of choice so we need to get over this resolution stuff - devs included. Make the best game they can make for each hardware. 1080 is nice, sure, but 900p with no tearing is surely the better option.
