they said that the built from the EU vs USA is old as well, they will have the game updated in day one patch.
Want to watch BF4 in full 1080p/60FPS next-gen quality?
- Thread starter Soldier Gryphon
- Start date
if I get BF4 it will be on the 360
I do single player only for it, so would never get launch, nor will I pay for price for it

You only do single-player? Don't even bother with Battlefield 4 then, the single-player is like 3 hours long. lol.
Yes, these videos just tell us more of the same. PS4's gameplay experience looks more smoother and has better anti-aliasing than the Xbox One's. Combine that with 50% more pixels, that's impressive. The Xbox One still looks good though.
Posted this in the 720p CoD thread but since this is an actual thread about the new BF4 footage I thought I'd post it here again.
Watched the new DF BF4 footage, downloaded both XB1 and PS4 2gb files. Yes the contrast/black level issue is still there, but they should be otherwise comparable.
The XB1 version being technically inferior is very obvious to me when watching at 60 fps, screencaps don't do it justice. Lots of jaggies and shimmering/mosaic patterns especially on objects in the distance, noticeably larger framerate drops (especially in the crumbling building scene with fire effects), no AA/AO, and cheaper motion blur. The upped contrast ratio doesn't impress me any more than upping the contrast ratio on my TV would.
Subjectively the PS4 version looks more impressive to me in motion. And the tech facts back that impression up.

Well if it helps. DF tweeted "But again, as we said in the first article, it is a preview and will be re-run on retail (not dev) hardware" So why not wait it out? considering they reviewed a X1 build without AO which will be added on with a patch.
This friggin game looks sick! The XO version is dark however, but the graphical fidelity is still phenomenal! The Ps4 version looks better here resolution wise, but again the graphical fidelity is consistent in both versions. There are even jaggies in the XO version but again, you dont feel as if your getting "gimped" or have the lesser version because of the imperfections with the XO. Thank goodness for that. Again, the version thats being released on the XO should (according to devs) look even better than the one we have here. Over all the PS4 version looks great (and a bit better for that matter) at 1080p @60fps, but I do not feel the XO is less powerful.....AT ALL, even with this current version. +1 to Sony groupies (Ha!) but I still look forward to BF4 on the Xbox One. Its looks fantastic.

It won't have crushed blacks in the retail.The PS4 version runs at 900p, actually. It's CoD that's 1080p.
Once devs get a handle on the XB1 hardware we should expect the XB1 versions to match up in every way (framerate, AA, etc.) with the exception of resolution (720 to 900, or 900 to 1080), although there's still GPGPU to consider. If the res is the same then devs have more power for framerate, GPGPU, or other IQ, but it's much easier for devs to adjust the resolution than fiddle with other things.
We can expect both consoles to improve over time, but XB1 games probably have more room to improve than PS4. That doesn't mean the hardware gap can be overcome, but there's more untapped potential in the XB1 due to the dev tools/ESRAM issues at launch, while PS4 games are closer to maxing the hardware thanks to mature dev tools and easier to code for.

Decent technical look at XB1's ESRAM compared to the memory in the 360 and PS4. If you care about things like facts, tech knowledge, and reality, that is.

Interesting article. Discouraging, but interesting. It seems like MS didn't speak to a single dev and just went the cheap route with the design. I think it will cost them big time.
Thanks for the link. Very interesting read. Pretty much confirms the early Digital Foundry articles that I've read.
Yeah. Wanted to mention this too mate. That XO USA vs EUROPE version looked really, really good. All things considered however, I just watched the downloaded version for the XO and aside from the darker colors, it looked amazing! PS4 looked great but the XO version (albeit an older version) looked really good too. Cant wait to see the final. Things should be much more improved. I'm beyond happy! Might get this day one.
Just watched the direct feed downloads and glad I did! Echo all of the comments above.
The X1 has way more jaggies versus the PS4 version than I was expecting based on the resolution differences alone though. Did the X1 version also not have anti-aliasing turned on? And the crushed blacks on X1--that has to be a capture problem, right? The frame rate clearly suffers on the X1 during explosions and heavy effects but not to the point it will effect gameplay.

Please get this day one i need some good players on my squad come launch day!!! I totally agree B4 looks amazing and the USA v Euro showdown was intense and made me want this game even more
I didnt see any frame rate slow down during explosions. Some jaggies but nothing to detract from gameplay at all. In fact, alot of the nagging comments are simply that. Both versions look awesome! I will admit that I look forward to using the Kinect voice features to issue commands, not to mention the head tracking etc.
Looks good. Satisfied with how the X1 version looks. Also watched the US/Euro Showdown and was impressed. I think the crushing blacks in the Baku video are just the video, it wasn't a problem in the Showdown video. Looking forward to getting started on this.
I'm not seeing what people are talking about when they say "crushing blacks". The part where Dunn hands Reckers the scanner is the part from the IGN videos that showed really bad black contrast. In this video it doesn't look no where near as bad as that. I fail to see what everyone is complaining about.
Man does that guy suck. Who stands in the open on foot armed with a rifle and tries to go head to head with a copter?
