IGN Posts BF4 Comparison Video

Ok, this is so much better. Wth at the DF footage.

You can really see the resolution advantage here.
And it's even more clear in MP? There is especially a lot more aliasing in the XB1-version...
 
I've been thinking the same thing. Surely IGN fucked up. I mean, c'mon!!

Right?

I laughed when this was suggested in the other thread, but honestly it might be the case. The distinct lack of blur is just...wow.

Tried asking Ryan McCaffrey if that was really X1 MP footage, but he won't answer lol.

I got confirmation there has been no mixup. This is truly the xbox1 multiplayer footage.
 
Cross gen launch title. KZ SF blows this game away.

Feel like we have a lot of this though. For two consoles releasing in less than month the only game that remotely screams "next gen" is KZ. 1 game is all for 2 new systems launching 8 years after the 360 hit, and they still cost $400 or $500 respectively.

I also feel so bad for typing that like I'm in full on hater mode. :(
 
IGN's footage for that map doesn't make it look particularly flattering for either platform. It's a bright map to begin with and IGN's vid seems to wash it out even more.
 
I don't really feel comfortable comparing level of details off Youtube videos. High-bitrate capture? Anyone?
 
There's a reason that there isn't a PS4 pic pulled and posted from the same vid at the same map location.

You'd think if someone really wanted a comparison they'd actually make one, right?


Yeah, neither versions are dazzlers. But it's okay, I saw some pretty water effects and it made me smile.
 
The lighting is what's hurting the XB1 mp most here. Total lack of ambient occlusion as far as I can see, gives that kind of 'older game' look.

Seems to be some missing camera effects too.

I'm on a mobile at the moment though so will wait until I can view on a larger screen...but those things pop out immediately.
 
That has to be a mislabeled 360 version in the MP, right? It didn't even look like the same game as on the right. Complete lack of AO makes it look like COD4.
 
There's not much of a difference between the PS4 and Xbone on this as far as I can see. The MP looks pretty equal as well.

Were you watching the IGN videos at 320p from 10 feet away from your computer? I don't see how you can't see a difference in the MP.

Single player, sure I can see how people who aren't sensitive to aliasing wouldn't mind the XB1 too much, but the multiplayer? Come on dude.
 
Did a blind comparison on the multiplayer. PS4 looked better, but I had to really look for it. Definitely the further out you looked, you could see the jaggies. I was actually surprised, it was closer than the other thread made it look

I'm biased, an MS employee.
 
I think it's stupid to compare using IGN's shitty video quality. I'd rather like to see a high quality version of the Xbox One version in motion on Youtube for a better comparison.
 
This thread is starting to stink of propaganda. Pull pics from the same source, at the same map locations from both consoles.

And you guys are pointing the finger at DF for shady comparison practices while pulling this shit? Please....
 
i remember when i wasn't allowed to post screencaps from almost-but-not-quite-uncompressed gamersyde footage of infamous because the amount of artitfacting which comes from anything but pixel perfect direct feeds rendered it null and void.

just want to establish some ground rules here. if this is what qualifies for a rout, PC guys are going to have a lot of fun with comparison threads in the future.

Considering there is an embargo for the Xbox One multiplayer (I wonder why) It's kinda hard to do that.

WTF?!?!?!

Hates on IGN for shitty video quality, but then says they'd rather see a YouTube video. SMH...

As others have stated hopefully Gamersyde saves us with some quality videos.

Screw the pics. Just watch the video. SP looks reasonably close. MP hell no.
 
I don't think it's fair to use images to compare the games unless they're taken from a capture card. Are we really comparing a screenshot of the Xbox One version from a Youtube video vs an image that Jackfrags took with his capture card?

-_- c'mon Brett.

There's no fucking way that you are going to tell me that the IGN quality isn't substantially worse than this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc4i8hARuGE on 1080P setting.

Of course Gamersyde is our best option. I'm just saying that the IGN footage looks compressed as hell and it's basically useless. At least having something on YouTube would show differences better.
 
Seriously it's been 8 years since the 360 launched and the Xbone is coming in at $500 and THIS is what we get for MP graphics?!?!?!


I don't see how anyone can accept this. And yes the PS4 looks better, but it's hardly a "next gen" show case either.
 
The major difference between current gen BF4 and next gen BF4 is:
* Higher framerate (mostly 60 vs more or less 30)
* Higher resolution
* Finer details

All these things are things that are very easily lost in youtube (or similar) footage. The framerate will be chopped in half, and the increased resolution and finer details will be smudged by compression.

If you have a 1080p monitor, turn on 1080p on any of the videos then go fullscreen. That's not how 1080p looks.

I like the effort but comparisons are almost pointless with the formats these sites are using.
 
edit: Not going to even get pulled into that.

Considering how the DF BF4 thread turned out and then, low and behold, look at the huge difference that actually exists as we compare two screen shots from separate sources, no I'm not kidding.

Edit: There's nothing wrong in demanding a fair comparison if a comparison is going to be made.
 
You can't really take Ign's multiplayer footage for the Xbox one and Ps4 seriously, because the Ps4's multiplayer footage looks much better in the jackfrag guy's videos, than Ign's. By a lot btw...
