Xbone version is stuttery as hell when the camera pans.
Why would you do that for a single player game that we know has differences? lol

The Witcher 3: PS4 vs XB1 video (Gamersyde)

There seem to be some differences in lighting between the two. I wouldn't call one worse than the other, just different at times.
Looking at those side by side, they're pretty much equal. If you look really close you can see the reduced resolution of the XB1 version, but everything else looks the same.

I got the Xbox One version over the PS4 version too. There are a lot of factors that played into that, the major one for me being .PNG captures and the fact that they're automatically uploaded so I can share them more easily in the photo thread. Others being my PS4 controller is wearing down (battery and physically) and I have eneloops for my Xbox controller.

Pretty much all I want as well. I'm honestly going to wait till I see a DF faceoff to decide if I'll get this game on PS4 or not. Game looks interesting but I would like to see how well the framerate holds up overall.
Looks like it's really splitting hairs, but probably the best comparison shot is at 1:17
Comparing the arms, XB1 looks a bit blurry compared to PS4. But really, who cares.
Well, it's a little more than that. Also, look at the eyes. Fairly noticeable difference there too.
if those are the major factors i can't imagine what are the small ones

The consensus is the ps4 had the better frame rate so far. Don't see that changing, but waiting never hurt anyone
I bet it doesn't shit on command either. This game never had a chance in goty against Phantom Pain. Talk about lack of priorities smh.
This is probably the greater controversy. You don't even need side by side comparisons to understand horseshit versus a lack thereof.
They are both on patch 1.01 which is the launch patch.
Lol. Doesn't works always in this way. And I have great doubt it runs better better on xbone. Bandwidth and faster RAM in such games are a great advantage on ps4.

Can't believe I entered the thread. Dunno what I expected.
Minor difference, but no, not identical.

*excluding resolution and framerate
It's identical "enough". Anyone who REALLY cares about getting the best version of the game is getting it on PC, regardless.
I'm getting it on PS4, but only because I don't want my kids firing it up, as the Xbox is essentially their system. I wouldn't hesitate to get it on Xbox given these very minor differences. Hell, it might be better to get it on Xbox for the superior controllers.

PS4 version looks more vibrant or maybe my eyes are deceiving me.
Not seeing any major differences apart from that, but it's hard to tell from such a short video. Any reason why it's so short?

Idk, that video looks like more than a 3% difference to me.
I own both systems, I'll wait for the digital Foundry review to see which version runs better before I make a purchase.
Yeah, there is.
Many people have asked us for a comparison video of both the PS4 and Xbox One versions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I can't say I like these videos, so I'll do this one only showing the Griffon sequence. And since the lighting seems slightly different in both versions, this video really should only be used for framerate comparison, and even then... Like I told you, these videos aren't really my thing

well theres the best console version.. some people, like myself, just are not PC people and we play on console.. PC does not factor into it, like it just does not exist to me.
everything is, except for the CG opening scene as far as I know. Its easy to tell when there are differences in lighting and costume that would not show up if it were prerendered.
Irrelevant to people who are deciding between xbox one or ps4. bringing up pc in a console comparison every time is just stupid and annoying... so what if there is an all superior version, were not talking about that one.
Superior controllers... my God.

You want graphics? buy a PC no a PS4

Ps4 hasn't graphic? Ok.
Okay, so uncompressed screenshots of a slightly blurry game or blurry screenshots of a less blurry game, I guess if you prefer looking at ss over playing the game your reason makes sense.

the real difference is not possible to see in a screenshot.. so forget the screenshots!

Lol are you people seriously jumping down his throat simply because he's choosing to buy the XB1 version over the PS4 version?
What do screenshots really showcase? No wonder these companies don't give a shit about framerates. Everyone just squabbles over image quality differences anyway. Who cares about that? I'm not playing screenshots. I'm playing a moving game. And it needs to move smoothly so that my controls are not impacted. Drops below 30 start to significantly impact control of my character.

Few different reasons that added up for me
1)much prefer Xbox controller over ps4 for games I play more then a few hrs at a time. My set up doesn't like me plug in so when battery dies I'm forced to stop, and yes this happens a lot to me. Xbox lets me swap bats instantly.
2) hdd space, much easier to add more to Xbox. I tend to keep all my games installed. Only got 1tb on ps4 and have easy access up to 5tb on my Xbox just sitting around my house.
3) Direct X 12 patch?
4) had Witcher 2 on Xbox 360, kinda like keeping series on same system family (ie all assassin creed, battle field, far cry I buy are on Sony systems while all dragon age, mass effects, cod end up on Xbox systems). Yeah this is the dumbest reason.
If it was a huge difference I'd go ps4 but unless something changes in next few days it will be Xbox for me.

lol why even comment in the thread when you're watching it on a small screen?
Seriously. I mean, who cares where people choose to play it? Both versions look great and I am sure those playing on Xbox One will enjoy the game just as much as everyone else.

Thought in another thread it was confirmed by cd project that they wanted to patch it again once direct x came out?

You lucky sonofabitch!
Man, I wish they'd unlock digital early. I would love to fire this up tonight.
I made very clear (or at least I thought so ) in the news that I did this video because people asked me to, but honestly it doesn't show much if anything besides some differences in framerate.
I don't like doing these comparison videos, so don't look too much into that one.
As for which version is better, the PS4 version is much smoother in terms of framerate than XB1, so the choice is clear. We'll have the replay of tonight's live stream up in a hour os so, and in this one we switched from the X1 version to PS4, and the difference is very noticeable.
It's doesn't mean the PS4 version is perfect though, it's very rarely locked at 30 fps from what I saw (first 90 minutes of the game, end of prologue).
Of course, we don't know if the current patch available for both consoles (v 1.01) is the day one patch or if there will be another before tuesday, but I doubt anyone would be willing to get a new patch live this close to launch...

It is a bit silly given it's a single-player game. If I had a choice, I would pick the best looking and playing version that was available to me. Heck, I wouldn't think twice about it. It's not like my other systems are keeping tabs on how loyal I am to them.
