DF/JF: Battlefield 4 PS4 vs XB1 videos/screens (900p PS4, 720p XB1)

Can humans even see more than 720p? What's the resolution of real life?

Are these raw? XO is a blurry yet somehow also very aliased mess.

Yes. These are from the correctly calibrated capture cards that DICE themselves handed out to journalists.

Dark10x, who works for DF, mentioned that they used there own capture equipment and that they did not have time to properly calibrate it. So their captures are not exactly representative of the actual output on both consoles.
 
There's literally no reason for the Xbox One version to look better at anything since the hardware isn't better at anything.

The power difference here is mostly being used in performance, as it's running at a higher resolution with higher AA at a higher framerate. Somehow someway Dice is pulling the amazing feat of there even being debate about these versions, but for PS4 owners the biggest takeway is how that power advantage might be properly used in first party games.
 
alright people .. a couple things:

- OP images taken from DF videocapture (not indicative of image quality)
- screenshots taken from IGN capture for PS4 that had additional sharpen filter (not indicative of image quality)

Nothing so far gives me an accurate reflection of the quality of a "screenshot" .. not I said
"screenshot". Sharpness, Contrast, Color .. all can be adjusted.

What we know for sure ..

900p vs. 720p
frame rate differences between the two .. PS4 running higher on average
 
Obviosly PS4 version is technically better, but - Jesus H. Christ! - this "can be easily emulated on your TV" bullshit needs to stop. TV sharpening filter is not as smart as the one in Photoshop or even Irfan View or whatever people use to make those "enhanced" PS4 screenshots. I don't know what Xbone uses, but it's disingenuous to say "you can easily change the settings on your TV".

/PC-gamer rant.

I made one of those screenshots with the simplest sharpening filter (not even unsharp mask). This is exactly what a TV does...
 
Came back this morning and people are still making comparisons via DF footage. Their XBO footage is a mess. IGN's capture has much more accurate gamma levels

The problem is DF's capture is entirely wrong.... it is completely off base. Compare with captures from IGN and see that you don't even need to up the sharpness on the PS4.... DF's capture was just plain blurry for unknown reasons.

apperently you can:



Here is same shot from IGN video showing that it is Xbone version that is blur not PS4.

From the OP:

"The issue here is simple; Tom had a limited amount of time to capture this stuff and was not able to do so in a normal environment. If mistakes were made normally, it would be easy to go back and correct, but with the way this worked, it wasn't really possible.

Why so different? DF uses their own hardware for capturing while DICE were handing out Elgato boxes to everyone else. The DF hardware is actually much more capable but it works differently and, without the experience of working with these new consoles, I can see a situation where settings were dialed in wrong.

JF used what DICE provided and probably didn't even attempt to change any settings which, in this case, turned out to be for the best."

Also, the disparity between DF's footage and others exists not just on PS4, but on the Bone version as well.

People are right to be angry with DF right now, especially in light of them being a megaphone for MS trying to convince people that a better GPU and faster RAM would have hurt teh balance.

P.S. The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if DF just wants to keep things close to keep generating clicks. People tune out once domination sets in. Or, in the case of Seb Vettel they just boo a lot.
 
Ps4 has the explosion sequence already in flow while x1 version has not begun yet and you can see it tanking in the graph below . Nice try tho

At 1:08 there is a straight up PS4 dip

Just saying.

There are at least 2 moments where the PS4 dips below the XB1 for whatever reasons. It isn't just this explosion. That being said, the PS4 has a clear advantage
 
1) FXAA does create the vasoline effect but it looks much better in motion. I enjoyed having it on BF3 before my upgrade.
2) Some of you need more perspective. This is a LAUNCH game. A few more months (improved drivers and optimization) and they could probably hit 1080p. Think of what will come next year and beyond...
 
Thank you

I hope we were both being sarcastic right now and you do realize that your POP POP NIGGAZ DEAD comment was bad and racist. You better avoid saying such things.
 
Looking at the uncompressed shots, the PS4 version is clearly the better image. Absolutely no question about it.

But again, this is a cross-gen launch title. Can't wait until next year when we really see what the PS4 is capable of.
 
I'm full of shit?
Up to 3:30, so boat cutscene, there are 6 drops, with 3 of them being by 4fps and two by 2fps.
How is this consistent with a shot that shows over 14fps difference? When for over minutes You have only 6 seconds of drops top and for the rest of the time game is locked in 60fps?

And in boat scene, the difference is 2-4fps still, mostly 2fps. There was no 60fps multiplatform game on this generation that was so consistent in terms of framerate in both platform and to reach its final frame target.
Without fps meter You wouldnt be able to tell the difference in fps in both version.

Thats outstanding parity in terms of framerate, anyone who is denying it or even nitpicking it, is full of shit.

The gap amount isn't consistent, sure, X1 being behind is.
 
The lighting is different because the clouds in the PS4 version. PS4 is cloudy and has softer lighting. XBONE is less cloudy and has harsher lighting.

the same clouds are in both versions. they don't get lit the same way in the Xbox One version though, for some reason. on PS4 they are lit the same way as on PC.

in this thread I realized how many people had no idea what artificial sharpening is. there's blatant ringing on all the Xbox One shots from ALL sources.

I don't know if DICE are doing that on purpose, or if it's part of Microsoft's scalar, but if it's the latter, I'm espescially glad I'm not getting an Xbox One.

If they force that shit on you... yeah. No thanks.

So if i sharpen my image inTV to play PS4 games with sharper textures that is considered cheating toward Xbone ?
I'd just consider it stupid, personally.
 
I checked out even more pics and vids from other sites.
Yep I knew the visual difference would be minor and NeoGAF was over-exaggerating the differences.

I'm definitely getting the X1 now considering it has better games. Sorry Sony!
 
I did this in like 1 minute in PS only using really simple tools available on your tv as well. It´s not hard to see what DF did with their comparison video.

I know it´s not perfect but just wanted to prove the point a lot of people been doing of the techniques used.

If you prefer the X1 games, sure go ahead. No one can blame you for getting a console with the games you want. Doesnt change that X1 is massively inferior tech though as it seems now.

Massively Inferior is the type of exaggeration he is talking about.

Don't pretend for a second that any screenshots or videos would have made a difference anyways.

Its not an exaggeration. PS3 Multiplats were often inferior to 360 versions, but 180p more plus better FPS and more effects is way more grave than the difference we had last gen.

Both game versions still look decent, but on a tech level the X1 seems so far behind that its not even funny anymore.

Great comparison pics, thanks.

Digital Fuckery just shit the bed on this comparison. Probably one of their most anticipated articles ever and it's just a complete shitstorm. Epic fail on their parts.
