Battlefield 4 Xbox One Review Build Was Missing Ambient Occlusion, Coming on Day One Same as PS4/PC

It's no mystery by now that the Battlefield 4 Xbox One review build now out into the wild on several videos and video comparisons lacked the AO (Ambient Occlusion) feature present in the other next generation builds. Apparently, though, Xbox One fans need not worry about that, as it's coming, as mentioned by Frostbite Technical Director.

[Lalanana]

i guess they are saying xbox one copy is not finished yet

[MYDEATH21]

@Docknoss, The reason so many people believe all the bad rumors Xbox One gets is because 99% of the have been true.

[Docknoss]

Oh really? Enlighten me boy, tell me all the rumors and fanboy false rhetoric that has yet to be proven considering the damn console isn't even out yet. My reply towards epilepticdingo was removed on telling yet all I did was show how both consoles at one time had the same policies and both retracted on that.

[GameNameFame]

PS4 version is not finished also. And ofc, will be improved.

[badkolo]

your delisional just like every other sony bot. it will sink in soon

[MazzingerZ]

What do people mean with versions not finished yet? Game should be at the most going through last weeks of QA to soon go gold
It is been released within a month!

Only took 5 mins to find that... I now rest my case

[trywizardo]

if you trolls look at the IGN video you'll see that X1 have better graphics ... so better graphics with 720P is better than low graphics with 1080P

[The Captain]

LOL - You read the same thing?????

http://www.ign.com/blogs/mi...

[Blade Runner]

This is very true. Glad to see someone else talking some sense between all the crazy fanboy yelling. I have seen some incredable full settings of BF3 at 720p that blow away half setting at 1080p on a PC. So yeah to many people get caught up in the whole 720p vs 1080p war. I could care less how it runs on the PS4 as long as it looks good.

[Kryptix]

Native 900p scaled up for a 1080p screen will result in a blurry picture due to the textures being stretched to fit the screen.

There's a broader difference scaling from 900p native to 1080p than 540p native to 720p. The reason why is because there's more pixels between 900p and 1080p than there is between 540p and 720p that's why we barely noticed the upscale blurriness this gen. (I'm aware the Xbox One version is 720p native. Just explaining the upscaling of this gen to next gen's 900p native to 1080p)

"However, I can give you some impressions based on my time with the PlayStation 4 multiplayer and single-player. Purely from a gameplay perspective, I can say with confidence that Battlefield 4 on PlayStation 4 and PC are equally excellent. The two are visually comparable, with minor detail differences if you’re really trying to pick it apart." -IGN

[Cuzzo63]

Wow. Now I see why you have 2 bubbs. They have the performance and grafics goin to ps4... let me guess. Eeeeeeeverybody that review the game are sony fanboys too. You my friend are the reason wacko is a great term for you. LMAOOOOOOOO!

[trywizardo]

cuzzo nope , the reason why i only have 2 bubbles cause N4G is filled with sonybots and that's ok all i need is one bubble to say my mind and the other to shut up trolls like you
and when i was watching the comparing video i had in mind that X1 version looks like ass and PS4 version looks way better but i saw the exact opposite and everyone on ign agree to that (witch was surprising considering IGN is filled with sonybots too)

[Pogmathoin]

Unbelievable.... I swear the fun has gone out of gaming the way you people go on.... C64 slaughtered spectrum 48k in every spec, but i had so much more fun on the latter.... But people did not whine like babies we see now... Really, reality check people. Its supposed to be fun....

[come_bom]

LOL... i find this hole thing very funny. Sony fanboys against Microsoft fanboys and vice-versa.

It would be really funny if the best console version was the WiiU version.

GO, go, go, go WiiU version FTW, make Sony/Microsoft fanboys cry (and I don't even own a WiiU) :-)

CAN'T WE ALL GET ALONG!... IN PEACE, LOVE and VIDEOGAMES.

[GraveLord]

So frame rate will suffer even more. Yay?

[mhunterjr]

How can you be so sure the frame rate would suffer?I'm sure they are aware that most users would prefer a steady framerate over an extra feature. I doubt they would add something if its going to make the game play worse.

[wishingW3L]

because frame-rate is already suffering as it is or do you think that Ambient Occlusion runs on fairy dust?

http://abload.de/img/bbt8ew...

[mhunterjr]

@wishingW3L

Surely you're aware that the update will be a newer build than he review build. It will most definitely include modifications to the code to address such issues...

Or where you under the impression that adding AO is just a matter of checking a check box?

[Drekken]

They are adding more processing to the graphics. How is it hard to understand that will make the frames drop a bit. Granted I am probably talking to someone that thinks 720p looks better than 900p. Whatever.

[SilentNegotiator]

"How can you be so sure the frame rate would suffer?"

Because ambient lighting is processed, not created from thin air.

[mistertwoturbo]

^No not fairy dust, it's TeH ClOuDz!

In all seriousness, AO is a little more taxing on the GPU. I remember my BC2 days, I had to turn it down from HBAO to SSAO or completely off to hit 60fps on my GTX 465(at the time.)

This does not bode well for the Xbone version if it's already having a hard time holding 60fps at 720p!

[loulou]

usual faces..

perhaps it has been optimised abit more??? hence no strain on the fps?

f'ck me you droids are annoying.

anyway, i still have a problem. do i pick this up and fly solo on the ps4 with a better looking game or do i get this on the xb1 and continue playing with my mates???

what would you lot do?

droids need not reply

[C0LLAT]

Get yourself new mates! :)

[TENTONGUN]

wtf does AO acually do for a game? ive never heard of it till this week. im a ps4 guy but the x1 folks need the same, its only fair. youd have to be a lil bitch baby to want x1 owners to have less of a game just cause. thats kind of pathetic

[TENTONGUN]

i reckon the disagree i got was from a lil bitch, go figure.

[IRNMUNKEY]

I guess all the comparison videos were kinda pointless then?

[lsujester]

Pretty much, especially all those pictures from DF with the settings screwed up. Nobody is going to do this, but the d!ick measuring should stop for now. We won't know what both versions will ultimately look like until a month from now.

[MrCastle]

Jester, the dick measuring has just begun. More and more 3rd party releases will be compared before and after launch.

[lsujester]

I know, that's why I said nobody is going to stop.

But I'm talking specifically about BF4. None of this is final code, so we have most of a month before we see what both versions end up looking like.

[JohnJ]

Yea cos the xbox one version is not final build.

Let's leave the schoolboy bitching to the schoolboy bitches and just have a laugh and play some awesome games.

This campaign will help xbox because all the fickle little idiots who believe all the shit flying round will fill up psn and leave the reasonable thinking people to have a genuine laugh on xbox live.

[IAmSovereign]

I truly, truly wish I lived in the same world you do. I bet the bushes are made of cotton candy and trees of chirros

[The_Sneauxman]

Chirro trees.... just think about how awesome life would be

[pyramidshead]

lol 'certain people' are still confident that the XB1 version will still ship 1080p60fps with v-sych as well. Don't really need give any clues to who's suggested that nonsense.

[falviousuk]

is that different people who were saying 1080p 60fps on the PS4 i wonder

[pyramidshead]

Yeah I'm guessing you don't know who I'm referring too lol. This guy wouldn't be speaking anything positive about the PS4, let alone BF4 being 1080p60fps on ps4.

The pipe dream of 1080p for PS4 was there for some, but the main issue was that it will probably be higher than the XB1 and that's just been proven.

[n4rc]

Something I've been wondering....

These are just review builds playable to reviewers... Both upscaled to 1080p..

How the hell do they know the native res? I'm honestly asking..

[lifeisgamesok]

These Sony guys just can't live with the fact that the Xbox One version is holding its own

They look the same with the One looking slightly better

Deal with it#

[Enemy]

Upscaled isn't native, and either way you spin it, the PS4 version is confirmed running at 1600x900 while Xbone port is 1280x720.

Higher resolution on PS4 is a fact, so PS4 will have less to upscale, making it the better, sharper, less jaggy version with ambient occlusion already in place.

[Golden_Mud]

You just confirmed it's a port

[Elit3Nick]

except from what we've seen so far while the ps4 version does have less aliasing then the X1 version, it's textures aren't as sharp in comparison, meaning that going 900p meant that they had to sacrifice some other things to make up for it.

[Enemy]

^ On the contrary. PS4's textures are at 1600x900p. Xbone's are at 1280x720p.

Higher resolution = sharper image

I see you're making stuff up on the spot, though. They even removed clouds from the Xbone port.

Your textures will look quite weak in comparison. Couple that with aliasing issues on Xbone, inevitable frame drops after AO application, and you've got the worst version in your hands. I know it's hard to accept but hey, better specs bring better results.

[tiremfej]

Considering these videos were taken from Dev Kits which supposedly run the "final builds" as Dice would want...and they are adding Occlusion to X1...they're not finished games...I'm just throwing that out there. Couple with the fact that X1 does look better i.e. sharper textures, more "items" on screen, minor aliasing issues. Having a higher-res doesn't matter much, PS4 can look the part, but doesn't play it well.

[Elit3Nick]

@Enemy just because the game runs at 900p doesn't mean the textures are, having every single texture in the game run at 900p would take a stupid amount of power, that why textures in more hidden areas will be less crisp. But if you actually look at comparison shots and videos, you'll see more detail on the ground and on some objects, like the bumpy texturing on the vehicle's seats. Of course since it's you I'm talking to, I don't expect you to actually admit anything...

[bcrazy18]

@enemy.... Maybe their were slightly different versions created on purpose. . Ever thought about that. Hell, even the clothes on the guy are different. Maybe the environments and weaker isn't static, even in cutscenes so it won't be the same and the reason why the clouds were not Kant. Not sure if that's even possible bit you never know.

[joefrost00]

You know the funny thing is that the reveiw build is 720 but the fact that there are things he would not talk about is strange I thought it would be kinect but that was already announced
My only guess with AO they up the resolution
Cause even the reveiw version is 720
Nobody Sony, MS, or Dice has came out and confirmed anything
Not hoping or anything just more of an "we wont talk about it at this time" educated guess

[MorePowerOfGreen]

Don't hear people saying that. looks more like it's something you bring up on your own because that's what you actually fear.

You simply heard people that know better talk about the XB1 version being an older build even before the Eurogamer tweet.

We will know soon enough on NOV 1st what the final build shows when EA nd MSFT announces their surprises. The XB1 version already looks better than the PS4 version except jaggies.

"the AO on Xbox One was one of the fixes that didn't make it into the review copy but will be in day1, same tech as PS4/PC"

"Are there other fixes that aren't in the review copy?"

"yes there are some, but not something we will go into details about at this time."

Wonder what else could be changed in a already better looking game?

Also wonder if they're going to fix the PS4 version textures

DRAG THE RED BAR IN THIS COMPARISON.
https://googledrive.com/hos...
REDDIT DESTROYED THE NOTION THE PS4 VERSION LOOKS BETTER MANY TIMES.

Mistake or on purpose?
http://www.reddit.com/r/xbo...

[Pintheshadows]

You don't know what ambient occlusion or contrast and sharpness settings do. Look out side of the car and notice that on the PS4 version you can actually make out detail in the shadows where as in the XB1 version you can only make out black. Pitch black like tar spread across the enviroment.

The lighting and blacks in the XB1 version are hiding its faults along with some post processing effects. Not to mention that rocks shouldn't be as shiny and plants shouldn't look so black on the shaded side as in the XB1 version.

You are mistaking the natural look ambient occlusion gives by dispersing light naturally in the environment for low detail textures. Face the facts, not only is the PS4 version superior in performance it also looks a lot closer to the PC version on high than the XB1 version.

[DoesUs]

@Green

40% less pixels, lower average framerate, Shambolic multiplayer gfx, $100 more expensive! Ouch.

You sir are completely off your rocker.

Next up, Ass Creed 4. See you then.

You'll do well on Reddit with all the other blind MS supporters.

[Detoxx]

But that still doesn't change the fact Xbox version is 720P. And what about the jaggies, does AO reduce that or what?

[Abriael]

No, it just makes the whole scene look a bit better.

[Riderz1337]

No AO does not reduce jaggies, AA does. Also, with the inclusion of AO in the final build, expect an even bigger frame rate drops. Not a huge difference but possibly 3-5 FPS more being dropped in frames than before.

[mhunterjr]

There's no reason to 'expect' framerate drops. It's a possibility, but I can't see a renowned multiplayer developers adding an effect if they couldn't do so without affecting gameplay.

[Volkama]

Well now that rather depends on the other optimisations that go with it.

Both versions look good. The PS4 may be justifying it's GPU choice, while the One still offers a different feature set and quite comparable graphics. Both sides can be pleased imo.

XBox Live, Kinect and Halo and the early years of the 360 push me firmly towards getting the One first.

[1lawrence]

Y change it xbox fans already says its better than ps4 so they are happy with it first time in history 720 looks better than 900p on the same game

[jamsam360]

I think the xbox one version looked better i was comparing the two and at one point on the PS4 side during the Helicopter turing and chasing the vehicle i saw a boulder disapear! On xbox one side the boulder stayed there! To me from ign and digital foundry both xbox one versins looked better to me! I think some people are not admitting it because they fear the rath of the PS4 fans! And they are riding the popular wave! Thats a shame! But that boulder on the PS4 side disapearing didnt help PS4!

[neoMAXMLC]

You heard it here first, guys! A disappearing boulder is confirmation that the X1 version is superior to the PS4 version!

It doesn't matter that the PS4 has a better frame rate.
It doesn't matter that it was obviously more polished at an earlier stage.
It doesn't matter that the PS4 version runs at a 50% higher resolution over the X1 version.

That boulder disappearing ruins the entire look of the PS4 version. Boulders tell all!

[Riderz1337]

Lol the IGN video clearly showed PS4>Xbox One. Also, the multiplayer comparison is ridiculous. Zero motion blur in the Xbox One version. It looked as if they were playing Counter Strike 1.6 lmfao.

Oh and don't forget, 720P>900P. Up to 50% more power is being used on the PS4 resolution. Overall, when playing on a big screen TV the PS4 version will look much better than the Xbox One version.

[lsujester]

I'd like to ask DICE why the hell the PS4 has different camouflage and cloud colors.

[GuruMeditation]

Maybe the complex next-gen boulder-positioning compensation algorithm is cloud-based. Cough.

[Elit3Nick]

@Riderz1337 having 50% more pixels on screen does not mean it's 50% more powerful, if it was, then the everything else would be 50% better looking too, which it doesn't. From what I saw with the X1 version having sharper textures and a few other things, I'd say the Ps4 is 10-20% more powerful.

[Edward75]

@neomaxmlc

You know all this already?

A 50% higher resolution!! Holy balls! You have to be right!

Just making sure you know how crazy that sounded... 50% higher resolution.... So that's what it looks like.....

Everyone just needs to stop talking crazy. There wasnt even this much garbage being tossed around for mortal Kombat blood and no blood between the genesis and SNES differences. And they had a much more distinguished look from the final versions of each.

Look at how many of these comp articles are at the top. This is the first comment I put on these... I just couldn't pass up the "50% higher resolution". That I found hilarious.

[neoMAXMLC]

@Edward

Not sure how facts can be so funny to you. The PS4 version is running the game at 900p. The X1 version is running the same game at 720p. That's quite a significant different don't you think? :)

1600x900=1,440,000
1280x720=921,600

That's more than 50% more pixels being displayed on the PS4. :)

[DoesUs]

Well, closes the visual gap but the frame rate will take a hit. Still, can't make that 40% deficit in screen res. 1st multi plat out of the door and already a big gap showing!
Nothing I didn't already know, and have been telling peeps for a while.

[ceedubya9]

I doubt that DICE would allow something to completely destroy the framerate of the game. If they felt that adding something to the build would hurt the performance of the game, then I doubt they would do it. Perhaps they can optimize the game enough to the point in which there won't be any significant differences from the pre-patch version?

[DoesUs]

Your assuming the PS4 wouldn't recieve further optimising though.

[ceedubya9]

I'm only talking about the Xbox One, not the PS4. The assumption is that if AO is added to the Xbox version then it will take a huge hit to framerate. My argument is that I don't think Dice would even bother adding something into the Xbox One version if they felt it would severely break the performance of the game. If DICE adding it in, then it is because they know they can do it without making the game perform worse.

[DoesUs]

Won't be a huge hit, but a hit non the less.

[Funantic1]

So the X1 and PS4 previous versions look the same but they're improving the X1's next version even more. Ok

[Enemy]

They conveniently look the same to you because you've had your mind made up since before these comparison vids even came out. We get it, you're buying it for Xbone. Doesn't change the fact that the PS4 version is better though.

[Blachek]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and take a guess that you probably already had your mind made up that you would be buying BF4 on PS4 already...

[bigboirock]

or maby he doesn't care about pixels only nerds would count and care just to start flame

both games looks great

[Jazz4108]

funny I was going to say the same thing about you

[urwifeminder]

What about the crappy ps4 textures will that be fixed on release so glad I went pc the more I see.

[MasterCornholio]

Here's the truth

Crappy 900p textures > Horrid 720P textures.

But if I want sweet texture quality in an FPS on a console I have,

Kilzone Shadow Fall 1080P

Nexus 7 2013

[urwifeminder]

Yeah but at least the xb1 textures are textured not sure what shadow fall is hope you enjoy it.

[WeAreLegion]

When will we get a "No master-racing" rule?

[urwifeminder]

Yeah those ps4 gamers are going over the top.

[FANTA1180]

again everyone goes crazy over this , just wait for finished product instead of tweeting developers and bugging the shit outta people trying to make games for your beloved consoles.

end result is console versions are going to be close to identical everytime !!!! ...get it thru your heads.

[aceitman]

@ urwifeminder by ur comments u reek of troll . cut the bs and troll of to ur moon .

[urwifeminder]

Well I never you seem upset can I not have my opinion works for everyone else sure I prefer xbox never have denied it.Am I from the moon or should I go confusing anyway enjoy your day.

[WeAreLegion]

"Am I from the moon or should I go confusing anyway enjoy your day."

I'm putting that on my "Worst N4G Comment of the Day" blog. :)

[hankmoody]

I can truly say that this is one of the ugliest beginnings to a console war I've yet to experience. It's almost like a hole opened up in the ground and all the trolls just came pouring out like the Locusts in Gears of War or something. Can't we all agree to disagree on all of this nonsense? And seriously, what's with all the animosity towards the XB1 from the PS4 people? Why exactly do you want this system to fail so bad? Have any of you claiming that BF4 looks leagues better on the PS4 really watched these comparison videos? They look practically identical! Relax people, it's NOT that serious!

[svoulis]

This is what happens when companies (I.E Microsoft) hide things from people. It makes them look weak. I agree if you're getting a Xbox One, you're still getting a good experience. That being said, the PS4 version is the better one, and should come at no surprise because of the amount of extra power behind the console.

This animosity is built up over months of speculations, over Microsoft claiming the PS4 wasn't more powerful, then changing it to "raw power doesnt matter" and then going back to "we overclocked the Xbox One to get more power"

This is where it all stems from. That with all the fanboys with their Microsoft Sword and Shields being able to finally put their foot in the mouth.

Regardless, Microsoft has been playing PR games with all of their fans, from lies to coverups, to "we dont knows"

It is all messy and here is your result, don't expect it to calm down either, because when COD GHOST gets the embargo lifted we will then see what happens with resolutions...yet again.

You say its not that serious but look at it in this sense. Do you like being fed PR lies and BullShoop? I certainly don't. Will I still get a Xbox One, YES I will because of some games I want for it Including Ryse and Titanfall.

PS4 at launch Xbox One when Titanfall releases.

Until then i'll be playing Titanfall on my PC.

AND TO ANYONE WHO SAYS FRAMERATE WONT BE AFFECTED BY A.O

If you have a good PC, go ahead turn it off and on, and look at the FPS drop, you lose about 15-20FPS depending on your GPU.

So yes, even adding A.O will hurt Xbox One FPS, but they can optimize other things and tweak settings to compensate.

Both sides, enjoy your version of the game, because of a 400-500$ console you are getting as close to PC quality at a steal of a price.

[mhunterjr]

If you think the amount of trolling is simply the result of Microsoft failing to publicly announce that the PS4 is a more powerful machine, then 1) you have an unrealistic idea of what it means to compete in consumer electronics , and 2) you have more faith in humanity than we deserve.

OFCOURSE, Microsoft I'd going to defend there products design when people call it weak. OFCOURSE, they are going to try to make improvements to close the power gap. OFCOURSE , they are going to downplay the criticism. That's called running a business. Those actions aren't the source of the animosity. Do you think Sony fanboys wouldn't still be infesting every Xbox related article if Microsoft hadn't done those things? It would be EVEN WORSE.

PS, there is a difference between turning on AO on a PC game (finalized code), and receiving a brand new build of the game, optimized to include AO. DICE isn't simply checking a box, when they release the update. You have no way of knowing how the framerate will be affected.

[svoulis]

@mhunterjr

I know that trolls will be trolls, and fanboys will be fanboys. I get that. I never doubted Microsoft trying to defend themselves, and for most of it they did well. BUT with that said, the times they didn't do it well shined bright (obviously internet will blow things out of proportion). That being said, I don't think its wrong of them to have defended themselves just wish they went at it in a better way. Whats done is done.

About the idea oF AO being turned on and thats it, I never said that. Hence why I said " they can optimize other things and tweak settings to compensate"

I was simply saying to anyone saying AO wont effect the FPS. It will without a doubt, but they will have to tweak things to bring it back to 60fps.

[FANTA1180]

its mostly kids experiencing the internets for the first time.

[Blachek]

Bashing the game on the opposing console is what they appear to do in order to make themselves feel more justified in their choice, and they probably think it's "cool".

I think I even saw a comment above where 1 guy complained that watching BF4 on an XB1 was like watching CS 1.6 again. Counter Strike 1.6 was an incredibly fun game, I have trouble understanding why people get so caught up in the presentation of a game versus it's gameplay. It is going to be fun on either console, and the difference between the visuals will be eclipsed by peoples preference for a controller. A lot of people just miss the picture.

It's also kind of comical how much they think their opinion sways that of the majority. 99% of Gamers will see only what the Devs,Sony, and Microsoft show them before they make their decision.

Internet trolls lament.

[MainstreamGamer]

Don't you get it yet?! This is the Console Warz!! You're either with one side or against it. There is no bipartisan view point here on n4g. No standing on the sidelines; it's life or death when 3 mega corporation engage in the console war and their dedicated soldiers are ready to defend their respective system of choice to the death. :)

[Bio_Mod]

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

[McScroggz]

I'd agree they look pretty similar in motion. I mean, if you are a person who is sensitive to fine visual details then you're likely a PC enthusiast and will get it for that platform anyway. What is surprising is how many people are saying the Xbox One version looks better. I mean, huh?

Like I said, I'm more than willing to accept that the PS4 version doesn't look drastically better; but I don't understand how somebody could say the Xbox One looks better. It's like walking into Best Buy and saying the TV set to vivid/dynamic looks better than the TV set to a cinematic setting. The TV set to Dynamic is specifically there to make the other TV looks better. I mean, if somebody honestly thinks that then...bully for them I suppose.

[Ashby_JC]

I myself feel they are close. Edge going to PS4. The MP video from Jack Frag looked solid.

But onto you not understanding some who say XBO looks better.

What I have learned is that no matter what it is...movies, games, cars, a picture, a woman etc...there is no RIGHT answer when it comes to what looks, feels, taste better.

We all have different ways we see hear and smell things. Therefore not everyone is going to agree on ANYTHING. You can have a crime happen on video and ask 10 people to recount what they saw and have 10 different stories!!

We are human and what you like ..I like ...and someone else likes will totally be different.

Take a game like MAG on the PS3...visually some would say it looked like crap. Others like me thought it looked good enough for what it was trying to accomplish.

Bottom line is no one is EVER going to agree across the board about ANYTHING!!!!!!

[Supermax]

Hahahaha

[wishingW3L]

And here I was always attacking the Sony fans but the MS fans are just as delusional. It's been a long time since I've seen something like this on this site. People denying the fact that: 900p>720p and AA>noAA. This is beyond ridiculous.

[thebudgetgamer]

*Fanboys*

I wonder if people while playing games stop and think, Gee I hope they are having a worse time than me.

[Ashby_JC]

HA

When I was pouring tons of hours into BFBC2 on my PS3 not once did I think "Hmm am I playing the superior version??"

When I was playing hours and hours of BF3 on my 360 not once did I think "I wonder if this game im having a blast playing with friends....is it better on my PS3??"

[Supermax]

Jaggies lol you all are funny I play a fps multiplayer and look at Jaggies oh my that Jaggie is going to shoot me.

[Supermax]

That guy said jaggies.

[Supermax]

Practice your talking bout practice.practice.

[JohnJ]

they should have released the comparison vid with the wrong console headings and watch as the fanboys of each console furiously proclaim their version is better, then reveal they were muddled up.

90% of people on here need a good hard slap in the face.

[wishingW3L]

but is not about watching a video since no web-based video player with capped frame-rate like Youtube's will give you an accurate representation. So the question is, do you read? Because is all written here:

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

Frame-rate, you can't see it on Youtube but there is software that can help out: http://abload.de/img/bbt8ew...

[MCTJim]

Crap double post

[MCTJim]

I thought the same thing when I looked at all the video this morning at 7am...I saw no significant difference in these vids...I actually chuckled at your comment :)

[Ashby_JC]

So we are in for a treat come Nov 15th and Nov 22nd as the game is going to look even better in our homes on our HDTVs (then a little screen on youtube)

It will never end...this back and forth stuff...but it is sure entertaining!

[horndog]

That's great news. It l already looks better than the ps4 version.

[jay2]

More proof BOTH consoles and games aren't ready for launch.

[Reem]

So what, this doesn't help the 50% inferior resolution and inferior FPS. Xdone is simply a joke

[corvusmd]

So the XB1 version looks practically identical and perhaps even better and its not even done yet???? This does NOT look good for PS4 being the superior console....ouch, a lot of broken hearts on the Sony side of things today.

[ziggurcat]

The PS4 version isn't "done" yet, either... So, nice try, troll.

[Dante81]

Get rid of Kinect, put in a 7870 class gpu and TADA!

[EPiCDiNGO]

Sorry I was supposed to write that the Xbox One "VERSION" needed fixing. Not the console sorry for the confusion :)

[JohnS1313]

Talk about stupid. Why would you send out an unfinished version for reviews?

[arbitor365]

is that going to magically fix the aliasing issues, jaggies, framerate drops and screen tearing and upgrade it to 900P?

youre going to need some serious clouds for that lol

[cunnilumpkin]

too bad the ps4 and xbox1 versions will both be sub-1080p, covered in jaggies and have a greatly reduced draw distance

the only way to "patch" that crap out is to get a pc

the only way bf is meant to be played

on a freaking pc!

[no_more_trolling]

im still gonna get it
go back to your basement now!!

[Ashby_JC]

Im going to build a PC (first time) for BF4...still getting it on consoles also.

I have a little extra money to burn!

[no_more_trolling]

i hope it still keeps the sharpness

[inf3cted1]

Yall people fighting when PC always win.

@Enemy just because the game runs at 900p doesn't mean the textures are, having every single texture in the game run at 900p would take a stupid amount of power, that why textures in more hidden areas will be less crisp. But if you actually look at comparison shots and videos, you'll see more detail on the ground and on some objects, like the bumpy texturing on the vehicle's seats. Of course since it's you I'm talking to, I don't expect you to actually admit anything...

if you really look at comparison shots,you'll see some shots are so dark on the one,entire objects are nearly blacked out and literally barely visible with zero detail. sometimes the gun looks like a shadow its so dark.. anyways hope the ps4 capture is fixed

Stay tuned for the Nov 1st BF4 32vs32 competition MS is hosting for the XB1.

[SonyAddict]

I'm boycotting this game!.
Who's with me?.

[VoodooRob]

Every comment on this NG4 site is the same lame fanboy talk. Enough already about the resolution. I'm buying the ps4 version however the XB1 version looks amazing and if I was buying XB1 first I wouldn't hesitate to buy that version.

I'll own both as I love all the new toys in my house on display when we have guest over. I'm just glad I'm not going to have this problem.

Everyone try to get along and enjoy the new systems of your choice as they both provide amazing entertanment in there own way.

[strickers]

XB fans are becoming The BLack Knight from The Holy Grail. " Just a flesh wound"
Ignoring the truth that's right there.
It's some form of mass hysteria, like a conditioned religious cult.
It is amusing me though, so feel free to keep it up.
Just to clarify, whatever you THINK of XB1 version, the PS4 version is clearly TECHNICALLY superior. That is not interpretation.

[monkey602]

Two weeks to release and all other versions are wrapped up. How much could possibly change. It has to be printing time from here on out surely

[Mkai28]

I think the PS4 version was done for weeks now. I'm sure they were crunching like crazy on the X1 version though . With the drivers problems and newer dev kits, hence is the reason why COD devs are not commenting on the X1's resolutions (because they are still optimizing to get in on par with its competitor). If somehow EA and Infinity Ward get these games with the same resolutions, I would be impressed..

[monkey602]

I was impressed with the xboxone footage given recent rumours I think the fans should be more than happy with the result.

[no_more_trolling]

that review copy might have been sent out weeks ago

[dennett316]

An ambient occlusion will affect the performance of the title even more...it's framerate is already less stable than the PS4 version despite running at 720p. Still a great game, don't get me wrong, but the difference in performance is there for all to see. No magic power of the cloud to make up the difference, no hidden second GPU, just relatively underpowered technology in order to facilitate the inclusion of the crappy Kinect 2.0 camera that does more to benefit advertisers than it does actual gamers.
I'm sure the novelty of awkwardly browsing menus with gestures and talking to the Xbox to change channel will wear off when people realise it's actually much faster and less awkward to just use a controller to do those things.
What you're left with then is a camera that does nothing for the majority of games it's used for, and who's best function is recognising your face and signing you in automatically....something which the less sophisticated Playstation Camera can also do. Then you realise that your console has been gimped in order to facilitate this monstrosity and that you could have had a faster, more powerful console for significantly less money from a company that didn't try to screw gamers over with ridiculously restrictive DRM policies that sought to strip you of the ownership of your games.
