I can't help but notice that the PS4 version looks significantly better in almost every aspect. The lighting, textures and FPS seem to look best on the PS4.

This is what I love about Sony, for $399, we are getting so much. I own all 4 platforms and 2014 has been the graphical year of the PS4.

While I do have a gaming PC running all games on ultra settings, I can't help but feel at home when I am touching my PS4 controller. Every time I turn my PS4 on I get the chills. I feel like I am part of something revolutionary. I will always be part of the playstation family!

EGM writes: "Being a BioWare game, a Dragon Age one in particular, Inquisition is not without its fair share of technical problems that must unavoidably be addressed. The PlayStation 4 version I received, most notably, was basically unplayable, frequently seizing up and locking the system completely, forcing me to unplug the system while still active. I eventually switched to the Xbox One version, which was considerably less dysfunctional but did crash out to the Dashboard two or three times."

Uh oh, I expect we are going to see a sh*tstorm over this too. At least if people are actually consistent.

This was due to the incompatibility with firmware 2.0. Firmware 2.02 has been released correcting all the problems. It was not an issue with the game just the stability with the firmware that has since been resolved. It runs perfectly on PS4 actually, most reviewers had that version.

Whatever you're smoking, I want some of it

[camel_toad]

Well if the ps4 controller is the only thing keeping you from playing it on your pc at ultra settings you know you can use it on your pc...

[Major_Nailson]

It's not the same. I feel like I am betraying Sony. I just don't feel right. Smh

Sony is a company that caters to hundreds of millions of people. It wants your business but it won't collapse sobbing on the floor if you decide to do something else. You are a gamer. Your gaming experience is your choice, and not Sony's.

if you just wish hard enough, that could actually be true.... and i dunno what seems so revolutionary about the ps4. when i turn mine on i think... ps3 with more horsepower - not a bad thing, not revolutionary though. its definitely slick i'll give it that.

regarding the graphics... the pc had the sharpest imaging and better color. the x1 and ps4 versions look good in comparison but slightly inferior to the pc over all, even if not by much. between the x1 and ps4, the differences seem minor to nonexistent. one shot seems to have a different camera on the comparisons as the ps4 version is really close to the burning house and the x1 version seems further away or more wide angle. *shrug* apparently all versions are pretty broken though with the ps4 version being worse. whether thats true or not who knows.

Oh what planet does the PS4 version look better than any other version?! They're identical in EVERY SCENE except for the lighting difference at 3:50. Whatever you're smoking, I think we could all use a hit or two.

[Brisco]

Just shut up.

[RedstonerMC]

Love the ps4 but all these versions look damn near identical. Xbone is a little lower quality and PC has much better lighting but other than that...

[Reddzfoxx]

There is no way you could tell on a compressed video the Xbox was lower quality.

[OsirisBlack]

Looks good on all platforms.

[TekKing]

Looks bad on all platforms.

[Forn]

Game looks great on all platforms. I hope it plays smoothly and isn't a bug filled mess though... That's my only worry :-/

[2pacalypsenow]

at 2:03 i see the ps4 looks much clearer than the xb1

[SouljAx360]

Graphics comparison on a Youtube video, that's pretty funny.

[gamer7804]

if i pause the video i can see the ps4 looking ever so slightly sharper, when its moving if the labels weren't on the screen i'd have a really hard time nothing a difference.

[StormLegend]

I see no difference at all good job EA!!! I hope the frame rate is good!

[rextraordinaire]

I haven't seen any footage from last gen. I hope it's not too bad, because that's how I'll be playing it.

[noctis_lumia]

well no surprises ps4 version --->xbox

[martinezjesus1993]

They all look exactly the same. Ill be getting it on ps4 because of trophies and only because of trophies.

[mysteryraz11]

theres is basically hardly any difference really, get it on where you like it, ppl rather being staring at the textures and character models then enjoying the game though it looks boring to me, will not waste any money on this generic excuse of a game

"We maximized the current potential of each platform," BioWare said.

That's all I care about. Even though it's a youtube vid and it's hard to tell, Bioware seemed to have done a good job with both console versions even with 900p on the xbone.

It looks like bioware really have taken advantage of both consoles which I'm very very happy about. That's all I ask for.
