Battlefield 4 PS4 vs. PC gameplay footage

If you are considering a move to next-gen then one title that needs to be on your list is Battlefield 4. Okay, so we know some of you would rather Call of Duty and that is fine, but it is clear development of BF4 is moving along very nicely and judging from the various gameplay videos we have seen, it is going to be a close battle between the PS4 version of the game and the Xbox One.

[lifeisgamesok]

Both versions look good

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Yup, very much looking forward to this game

[PoSTedUP]

"Xbox One, on"

kinect: "no, Xbox lost" *shuts off*

really, is this like false advertising paid by MS or just a dumb "journalist"?? its not helping either way...

im looking forward to a real comparison tho, im sure they will look pretty similar.

[NewMonday]

false content!

the supposed XB1 clip is from E3 where BF4 was confirmed to rune on a PC.

this is the first preview of BF4 on XB1:

http://n4g.com/news/1362652...

[AngelicIceDiamond]

@Monday Nice try troll.

And yeah the author is using the PC build. Though I wonder why DICE took down the X1 footage.

[black0o]

how did this BS got approved ?
and didn't we all agreed that at e3 bf4 was running on PC and it was confirmed by EA

this is pathetic!

[NewMonday]

@AngelicIceDiamond

because it was clearly disappointing, "muddy" as most people who played the XBone version say.

[pedrof93]

The title is

"Battlefield 4 PS4 vs. PC gameplay footage"

Was the title changed ?

[loulou]

@newmonday

"muddy as most people say" ffs give it a rest. muddy as one gaffer wrote. you fking fanboys.

[Kryptix]

"Update: Sorry for that, I have now edited this to compare the PS4 version to the PC."

The real article title turned into a PS4 vs PC comparison.

Just a note, Elite24Gamer, the poster of this article, is the same guy that spread MisterX's bullshit blog articles on here about the Xbox One having a dGPU. Not sure why Xbots like to desperately spin around facts, resulting in lousy attempts like this when the "Xbox One" video was actually from PC gameplay with the E button. This article shouldn't have been approved in the first place before watching the videos.

[mikeslemonade]

Both versions are a let down. Don't buy COD or Battlefield next generation.

[aceitman]

um the guy is comparing the e3 pc build not xboxone , to ps4 gameplay. what the heck , doesn't guy know that. to the disagrees where have u been hiding here is the article and video http://www.gamepur.com/news...
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[aceitman]

this is pax and still not on xbox one
http://www.dualshockers.com...

[Ezz2013]

that's gaming media for you

also you post facts and you still get disagrees
yes, this site is really overrun by sony fans /s

[ThanatosDMC]

Yeah, the title should read BF4 PS4 vs PC instead.

[badz149]

PS4 vs (PC =/= XBONE)

this is just SAD! Xbone has an "E" button LOL!

[frostypants]

@Ezz2013

Don't refer to sites like this as "gaming media". It's just some schlub with a blog. Very few N4G articles are from legit media.

[Pope_Kaz_Hirai_II]

Dont worry the cloud will allow 64 player and advanced tesselation and the texture of your gun with cloud power could be so shiny it may render one blind. Pc is the pauper version without the cloud.

[lifeisgamesok]

The Xbox One version looks just as good if not better than the Ps4's going by the Eurogamer footage

[JP1369]

life -

The X1 version didn't even have shadows on that tiny little map! Meanwhile, the PS4 footage we've seen was on the very large Shanghai map, and it actually had all the features we've come to expect since the Dreamcast was released.

[BallsEye]

@JP1369

I thnk you've watched some glitched version.

Here, plenty of shadows

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Also poster of video said it was running in 1080p.

[s8anicslayer]

The alleged X1 video was from e3 and was already confirmed to be a pc running the game

[tuglu_pati]

so much fail in this article. Guy is comparing PS4 version with a PC version, on top of that SP vs MP. FAIL, FAIL, FAIL...

[AlexanderNevermind]

This,^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What's with comparing single player to multiplayer?

Anyway, the games will be here soon enough and we can have all the face offs/lenses of truth then.

[Lior]

you do realise the so called xbox version was running on pc

[BallsEye]

Bad comparison. Untill both versions are out this is pointless.

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

When Mantel comes pc will be the better investment.

Console level optimization across many pcs are possible now thanks to amd/dice.

How? I dont know but thwy found a way!!

http://www.polygon.com/2013...

[lesrima88]

lol why did people downvote this comment?!

[windblowsagain]

Bottom is PC footage,lol.

[cvflyboy]

I know, a complete fail. It's ok I haven't worked out my website disagree muscles in awhile.

[frostypants]

Not only that, but it's PC version at max settings. I want to see an average-spec PC compared to PS4. I don't care what it would look like on a $1300 PC...I want to know what it would look like on my joe-average PC.

[Kingthrash360]

lol publisher works for ms..."xbox1" version is acually pc...smh. how far will pr go?
"press E button" lol

[Majin-vegeta]

PC>PS4>GBC>>>&g t;>>>>>>>& gt;X1 xD.

[drsfinest72]

Reported for trolling your ass off

[FlunkinMonkey]

You're all such sensitive, defensive souls... All crying to mummy, reporting any chance you get... I lost 2 bubbles in one conversation because one XBONE fanboy with multiple accounts bubbled me down because he didn't like my opinion.

Man up, be a man.. Stop crying to mummy (N4G).

[drsfinest72]

@flunkinmonkey reported for offtopic

[FlunkinMonkey]

Ha, i sincerely hope you weren't born in 1972 (gathered from your name)..

Pathetically immature, need to grow into those big boy pants.

[drsfinest72]

@flunkinmonkey reported for personal attack. :D

[XboxFun]

I wonder why Majin and Flunkin haven't been dinged? I mean those are obvious troll and personal attack remarks and I reported them as well and yet nothing...

More proof this system doesn't work.

[Mystogan]

Somehow you have more bubbles than me.

[Swiggins]

If you stroke the Sony ego, you too can have extra bubbles.

[MRMagoo123]

Yeh look at all my bubbles me being a sony fanboy and all huh , oh wait a sec i have 2 yet i am a sony fan on this sony biased site. Maybe you have that many bubbles because your comments are like this one you just made and off topic.

how about commenting on the fact this comparison has a pc vid and a ps4 vid yet its called a ps4 vs xbone comparison?

[GTgamer]

Mystogan u should have one bubble with the comments you make.

[frostypants]

Even without the Xbox One troll, the PC part depends on the PC in question. I truly doubt any sub-$800 PC will look better than the PS4 version.

[SuckMyRichard]

Game Boy Color?

[Majin-vegeta]

Lol yes :D.

[DwightOwen]

Like moths to a flame...

[NextGen24Gamer]

If the ps4 is supposed to be 50% more powerful than the Xbox One, why is it that the Xbox One version of Battlefield looks better at this point than the Ps4 version? I'm confused? The video footage from Eurogamer is proof. Someone explain what is going on please? Honest question. :-)

[GiggMan]

LOL. That was not Xbox One footage. It's not your fault it's just a fail on the articles behalf.

[ziggurcat]

don't mind elite24gamer... he drinks misterx's koolaid, so it's not surprising that he looked at the "xbone" footage, and thought it was actually xbone footage, and not PC.

edit: oh... look who posted the article... how this misleadin, and ill-informed article got approved is beyond me. it's best to report this article as fake (since it's not actually xbone footage), and move on.

[corvusmd]

He mentioned eurogamer....not E3...in his defense it WAS running on XB1 at Eurogamer.

[Godmars290]

Its turning into the fail of the gaming journalism community from what I'm hearing. A majority of sites or either inaccurately reporting this, using the PC version for the XB1, or not reporting it at all.

Or is that the 360 version of GTA5?

[Ezz2013]

it pretty clear that ps4 being the more powerful system bother @elite24gamer alot

[NoLongerHereCBA]

Are sony fanboys really that blind and horny on their ps4 that they stop reading what people say and just spout nonsense? He said Eurogamer footage, not what was posted above. Seriously, I don't understand why I am even trying here.

[SITH]

This is.

http://youtu.be/JKAFme2S2sM

[ziggurcat]

@ corvus & vaizard:

the footage in the article he posted isn't even from eurogamer, though, so saying "eurogamer is proof" is incorrect... and to be fair, he actually said "the video footage from eurogamer is proof." what video footage might that be? the xbone footage related to the article? because not only is it not from that conference, it's not even xbone footage.

and if you're going to talk about fairness, post an article that has equal footage, not off-screen compared to direct feed.

[Flutterby]

Derp pc version shown as xbone version , how's that dgpu going elite24 ? And that other secret stuff that's so secret MS don't even know about it , the only person that knows is misterx lol. It's only a couple months now and both versions will be under a microscope and the xbone games will have no where to hide along with blind fanboys like you elite.

[MysticStrummer]

Come on man. Admit that wasn't an honest question and save some of your dwindling dignity.

[imt558]

It's a PC version of Battlefield 4. Explain why Battlefield 4 on XO presentasion has some big flaws?

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Kingthrash360]

your comment + the fact that you submitted this article + your pro pic= fanboy bs at its best/worst...both

[black0o]

it's about time u stop posting here

[pyramidshead]

lmao. I'll bite.

We should wait until some real XB1 footage from eurogamer comes out to compare but...oh wait... there's rules and regs/NDAs(lol) to stop regular folk from taking pictures and recording the footage.

How convenient :x.

People seemed to enjoy it though.

[FlunkinMonkey]

How funny.. You submit this article claiming it is XBone footage, yet your comment openly refers to other footage as being Xbone footage thus indicating that you knew this wasn't actually Xbone footage..

How pathetic.

[solidjun5]

"I'm confused?..."

That's an understatement.

[ziggurcat]

off-screen versus not off-screen... *that's* a fair comparison... /sarcasm

edit: @ disagrees... disagreeing with the fact that they're showing PS4 off-screen and xbone direct feed (that, as it turns out, isn't even xbone footage)? are you not using your eyes or just clicking disagree in your blind, fanboy rage?

[Flutterby]

The "xbone" version was also not an xbone version but in fact the pc version lol

[Wni0]

for the umpteenth time, that XBOXONE gameplay is a PC with max settings...

[ThatCanadianGuy514]

Is there no limit to the shame of xbox fanboys?
I mean, trying to pass off PC footage of xbone footage?

Come on guys.

[GTgamer]

They are trying to make it look like they are getting some type of good news.

[BG11579]

Shoudn't the title change or the article be simply remove?
And who the hell aproved this travestie?

[arbitor365]

PC, singleplayer, properly captured footage

being compared to

PS4, multiplayer, off camera footage

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B...

[dragon82]

Seems legit. lol

[Brix90]

So this should be PC vs PS4 gameplay comparison...smh

[kingduqc]

There should not be any comparison

Youtube video
direct feed vs offcam

The only real way to compare is direct screenshots. Videos just get too much compressed.

[alexkoepp]

That PS4 footage doesn't look to be 60 FPS, probably development issues...

That second video isn't on the XB1 but XB1 footage is out there, and it's a lot more fluid and sharp than that PS4 video, not sure how old that one is though

Edit: looked for the XB1 footage but it has been removed from EA off of youtube... did look much better than the PS4 in this article though

[Kayant]

Right because you can really tell the difference between two off-screen videos from different people/cameras, etc. *rolls eyes*
XB1 http://www.youtube.com/watc...
PS4 http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[MultiConsoleGamer]

More hit bait.

[SpideySpeakz]

Wow, didn't know the Xbone controller had a "E" button.

[arbitor365]

bubble up for that one

[Kayant]

Ahh it's EliteGamer again. sigh. Even though we all know the only time Xbox one footage has been shown is at Eurogamer and that's off screen. So I guess we shouldn't be waiting for the magical nda to expire if you're already blatantly lying.

http://www.dualshockers.com...

http://www.pcgamesn.com/bat...

[ziggurcat]

how this article even got approved is beyond me...

off topic: now they're saying that the NDA is going to expire after the launch of the system... *facepalm* it's been one "wait until..." after another with these people.

[Plagasx]

Sighs...when will it end..

[Majin-vegeta]

Wait isnt tomorrow supposively the day M$ reveals their so called secret xbone sauce??xD

[Kayant]

Yh It was 27th then 29th and now it's after launch because of the steambox lmaoooo that guy is really too much :) --> http://misterxmedia.livejou...

[Majin-vegeta]

Lmfao at some of those comments that right there is some gold A comedy xD.

[BadlyPackedKeebab]

I dont know why I get hooked on reading that blog its horrendous. Lol. Funny

[BadlyPackedKeebab]

Ok I have a confession. I am really the insider and the xbox one actually has 3 titans inside it but its all secret as amd doesnt know yet. ;-)

[mkis007]

Don't post that link anymore...I nearly drowned in all the Poo.

[SniperControl]

What these dumb ass xboys fail to realise is, why would MS hold back vital tech from there own devs because of a NDA?

It's like putting a 1000bhp engine into a car and then telling the driver they can only drive at 5mph.

That dumb $h1t misterx thinks the x1 will have a 4tflop gpu in there!! Hahahaha

[pyramidshead]

They won't. Misterx has already covered his ass for if he's wrong, which he knows he's going to be. His fake insider has already told misterx(they're the same person btw) that the NDA has been extended for 3 more months and stated in an earlier blog that MS may not even say anything for a whole year anyway about specs. You conveniently won't hear anything on the 30th or after.

His blog is a stellar read to be fair, for genuine pure comedy. He should be named one of the most desperate conspiracy theorists of the modern era. He's not been right once and his insider's credibility is now at the bottom of the barrel where it was close to anyway with excuse after excuse.

Check the comments on the blog before the latest one and you'll even see avid readers/drones/xbots who have been believing the mess are turning against misterx and the insider claiming that it's bullshit and aren't expecting any more surprises. So so funny lol.

#damagecontrol

[WeAreLegion]

Report the article. We can do a comparison when we have direct feed from both consoles.

[reko]

I cant wait to see jokesonyou spew garbage about his beloved xbox.

[TheOneEyedHound]

Ps4

[FrigidDARKNESS]

Ps4 version definitely running at 720p with lower polycount on characters. Xbox one version is superior in every way.

[Flutterby]

You realise that this is a pc vs ps4 comparison ?

I know you are just a troll and all but the xbone version didn't come out very well, the ps4 version has higher res so far and probably will have better frames, the xbone version which was shown ( not in this article obviously because its the pc version) didn't even have shadows and it still had frame drops.

[BallsEye]

1. It didn't have any framerate drops. Stop spreading fanboy propaganda.

2. You probably watched a glitched version,
Plenty of shadows in this one. And this runs on XO

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Also the poster of the video said it was running 1080p. Now stop the nonsense. Thanks.

[SniperControl]

@balls

Uh huh.......whatever you say Balls.......

http://n4g.com/news/1364054...

[DoesUs]

See you in November Frigid when the world you live comes crashing down with a monumental bang!

[pyramidshead]

Dem frigy pipe dreams bby.
OT: with what the article shows:

http://www.dualshockers.com...
http://www.pcgamesn.com/bat...

Now we just need footage of the latest version of the PS4 build that's already confirmed by DICE to be running at a higher res than 720p to compare it to the 720p of the XB1 version. :D

[ziggurcat]

nope.

http://www.dualshockers.com...

and care to prove that PS4 is 720 with lower polycount on characters?

[jamsam360]

You PS4 people will not F***in quit will you! Bunch of Egotistical A holes! This is supposed to br a fun exciting time for everyone.

And You Pricks will not shut up! The damn consoles are not even out yet games are still getting polished up! And all you can do is gloat! Back the f up and go back to your PS4 N4G Area let us get excited for the coming console!

Like any respectful person would teach you kids if you cant say nothing nice do not say anything at all! Lets both enjoy what is coming in november!

[Flutterby]

Maybe before jumping on your soap box you should look at the article , if anyone is in the wrong section it's xbone fanboy trolls like you, this comparison doesn't even have an xbone in it , it's ps4 and pc <------ read that again then look at your comment about ppl going back to the ps4 area I will repeat in caps to make it easier for your tiny brain to understand THE VIDEO COMPARISON IS PS4 AND PC THERE IS NO XBONE VIDEO. Now maybe step down off that box and realise how silly you look right now.

[jamsam360]

The article was edited and before did say PS4 vs Xbox one! So smoke that Sony nerd!

[GTgamer]

@Jamsam360 calm your tits u come at one section of fans even tho yesterday for example when ryse was being dropped in quality the xone fans were trying to bring down Sony games which had nothing to do with article so go blow a gasket somewhere else.

[jamsam360]

Why not good for them for bringing down sony crap Thats all the f**k you a holes do shitty xbox this shitty xbox game that grow up and look at some of the sony fanboys comments in some of these articles and then tell me what you think GT gamer Which Means you Got Tits!

[Xsilver]

@jamsam360 i see somebody needs a hug you poor thing.

[Soc5]

Relax man :)
Enjoy the system u like and don't worry about it. Why do u care what a bunch of random people on the Internet think?

[jamsam360]

It is just getting retarded on looking on the xbox one area and seeing Ps4 this and that ya feel me!

[0pie]

Woah... how can you compare each games? First the ps3 video is off screen and the the xbox video isnt even in 1080p and its blurry as hell.

Also shity article.

[MRMagoo123]

It isnt even Xbone footage they are using pc to compare to the ps4 lol

[urwifeminder]

Kind of feel sorry for people who don't get to play this at 1080p and 60fps on ultra it is worth it.

[fingazblank]

I'll be playing bf4 on pc but just yesterday i played bf4 on Xbox one at the eurogamer expo, BF4 runs beautiful, the 60 frames makes a big difference, although not up to ultra standards on a pc it sits perfectly on high setting with a few things disabled maybe.

Whichever console you choose, you wont be dissapointed. Bf4 rocks

[LetoAtreides82]

The title on the website has been updated to show that it was a comparison between the PS4 and the PC build shown at E3. Please fix the title here.

[MrZkaar]

Seriously, this post is BS. PS4 old off screen video against E3 PC video faked to be XBox One. You wasted 5 minutes of my life.

GTFO

[tigertron]

We need direct feeds of up to date builds in order to make a comparison, not recorded by some video camera.

[noctis_lumia]

nice try buddy but its a pc demo next to ps4 demo

stop trying to make the ps4 look bad it is not

[jlo]

I've seen it running in person, the ps4 version looks better than the ps3 verison, but still looks like junk compared to the pc version. Even the pc version of bf3 (from 2011) looked better.

[esemce]

They are both poor quality videos, pointless article.

[Max-Zorin]

Comparing PC graphics and console graphics is already stupid as it is.

[Goku781]

3 way fight, Money Mayweather (PC) VS regular guy with two arms (PS4) VS regular guy with one arm (Xbox One). Regular guy with two arms is told he can't make use of one of his arms to make it a fair fight. Come on people, developers are all ready dropping dime that do to the politics of making MS look bad, 3rd Party games on consoles would be downgraded/ mirrored so that PS4 would not out shine Xbox One due to the significant power difference between the two. It's a given the PC is clearly winner in this fight hands down.

[KiLLeRCLaM]

quality of the videos suck. You can't really notice a difference.. You got to be right in front of the screen. Does the PC version have any advantages over the PS4 and Xbox One besides better graphics? I know that with my 7704GB card the game is going to look beautiful and smooth *__*

[josephayal]

The PS4 version looks far far far better

[shysun]

I'm glad both videos are from single player...because if it wasn't it would be very fair!?! :/

[Kuse]

This is probably the worst misinformed article I've seen on N4G for like a few hours now...

[jmc8888]

Well on Tuesday the BF4 PC beta starts, so we'll be able to see what the PC version of BF4 really looks like en mass.

Can't wait. Most likely getting it on PS4. Maybe next year on some sort of Origin sale. Still have BF3 on PC so I'll have that 'good' version at least.

[HugoDrax]

Pointless articles in my opinion. PLAYSTATION loyalist will still purchase the PS4 version. XBOX loyalist will still purchase their version and so will PC gamers. We all know PC will have the definitive version, which makes making any comparison videos with console counterparts a waste of time.

Personally, I could buy the PC version and run on Max settings, yet I'll opt for the console version (PS4 or XB1) that majority of my friends will play on. Gaming to me is having fun, not which game has amazing graphics. That seems to be all most gamers are discussing these days, when their will be little to no difference between multi-platform releases.

[dennett316]

I disagree with you a little about multi-plat games. Last gen we had a difference with the Xbox versions coming out on top most of the time thanks to it's easier architecture and more capable GPU. There was usually a noticeable difference in PS3 versions - not drastic, but noticeable.
This gen, the PS4 is the more powerful of the two, with the more capable GPU. But also, the Xbox One is the slightly more complicated architecture to get the best out of. Not as bad as the PS3 was in terms of complication, but enough where it may cause some problems in terms of optimising games. I believe that PS4 versions of multi-platform titles will feature better resolutions, more effects, and more stable frame rates....with various trade offs between those 3 categories in the Xbox One version.
The PS4 is said to be easier to work with, easier to get engines running on with minimal work - CoD Ghosts was ported unoptimized to PS4 and Xbox One....PS4 version achieved 90fps, Xbox Version only 15. This is before any work is done on optimizing for the hardware, but it shows the easier job that developers will have on PS4.

[rataranian]

No it needs to be titled "Me using my camera phone over someones shoulder player BF4 demo on PS4" So you cant see shit of quality whatsoever.

[PurpHerbison]

Awful comparisons.

[kryteris]

Both feeds are terrible, and not comparable. Dif. maps. Why is this popular? It's a waste of time. ntm 360p

[Polysix]

I'm getting a PS4 day one but BF4 will firmly be on my GTX780'd PC!

[LoneWolf019]

If im moving to next gen, then Killzone Shadowfall needs to be on my list. I'll skip on this till it goes on sale.

[PickAShoe]

This article gave me deja vu.

[dennett316]

PC gamers have been saying "PS4 and Xbox One are underpowered, they can't compare to PC". Thing is, those people no doubt have graphics cards which cost more than the PS4 does in it's entirity.
A PC of comperable performance level to the PS4 will cost more than $400, guaranteed. PS4 will not be able to compete with a top spec PC - i5 or i7 processor, 8-12 gigs of RAM, custom cooling, Titan GPU etc - but pound for pound, you get more bang for your buck with a PS4. Even the Xbox One has something to be said in this regard, despite my severe dislike of Kinect and MS's previous policies.

[SaulGoodman]

Im gonna say, if you want to play BF4 on your nice HDTV, and your friends nice HDTV without too much hassle, then buy PS4. If you're into spending alot of money, to impress yourself once, then buy an expensive PC setup.

[Rageanitus]

the best version is obviously the PC version, but if ppl truly want to get the console version they should just WAIT and compare when they come out before speculating or making assumptions as to which is better.
