Wolfenstein: The New Order PS4 vs Xbox One Screenshots Comparison, Minor Differences in Graphics?

Wolfenstein: The New Order runs at 1080p/60 FPS resolution on both PS4 and Xbox One. So is there any graphics/visuals details between the two versions?

GarrusVakarian4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

In the first PS4 screenshot, the guy looks constipated, he has a red face.

In the X1 screenshot, he looks like he has just released the cause of the constipation. His face has a more natural skin tone.

X1 wins. No one likes playing games with constipated NPC's.

But in all seriousness, apart from the colour of the guys skin, they're identical. They pretty much aimed for absolute parity for this game.

pedrof934042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

On the first screen, ps4 has better AA than X1 if you look at the top left window.

The game isn't that pretty is it?

Gazondaily4042d ago

I always find in these screenshot comparisons that I'm straining to find the most negligible differences.

This is me almost all the time:

Also look at the handle to the right of the guys head in the 1st comparison.

PS4 fairs slightly better, but TBH, there is not much in it, swings and roundabouts.

Hardly a game that pushes the boundary of graphics.

BallsEye4041d ago (Edited 4041d ago )

Look at the detail on his cap, on XO you can alctually see the tiny stiches and edges. Same like AA this could totally be video quality problems so how about we just wait for real screens not some compressed and scaled up video crap.

EDIT:
http://n4g.com/news/1513204...

they look identical with XO having better contrast in two scenes (nothing major). That's it.

alexkoepp4041d ago

Both games look equally last-gen.

system224041d ago

i thought that too at first but then i realized the angles of the windows (where i noticed it at first) were more shallow on the xbox frame which would cause the alias crawl to be more present than at a slightly sharper angle on the ps4 version. i further figured that was the case because on the rest of the screens they more or less look the same. the color seems slightly oversaturated on the ps4 version in some screens but that could also come down to image compression. regardless they both look good imo.

it certainly is a pretty game. looks fun too. i really like the art direction.

Kennytaur4041d ago

If you need to look at a top left window to tell the difference in AA, it's probably not much to write home about. I guess performance will be the best comparison.

NewMonday4041d ago

Bethesda seems one of the few publishers willing to short change customers by hiding behind the "pairaty clause"

But despite the developers applying to the lowest common dominator the game is better on PS4 because of the better lighting

I agree... both looks amazing.

akurtz4042d ago

i dont entirely agree with the parity goal, but im not going to fret about it.
Owners of both consoles will have the same experience, which is FUN!
Will probably purchase this.

ITPython4041d ago

Owners of both consoles having the same experience is fun? Sorry, but I don't think it's fun to have the PS4 version of a game gimped because MS screwed up and made the XB1 significantly weaker than the PS4. Why the hell should PS4 players have to suffer for MS's mistakes? It is complete and utter bulls**t.

What these moron publishers/devs don't seem to realize is that by having parity between the versions and making claims such as "The two versions are identical", they are actually alienating the PS4 userbase. Which is incredibly stupid seeing as how the PS4 userbase is nearly 2 times bigger than the XB1 userbase, and that difference gets bigger each day.

MS must be real busy doing their rounds handing out large sacks of money for this parity bulls**t.

slivery4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

I don't see how you can really make any comparison when it is obvious these are not identical shot by shot comparisons, they are each slightly different.

The reason his face probably appears a different color from what I see is because the scene is not the same and the shading is probably different at that moment as he leans in, you can tell in the PS4 image on that particular photo that it is a bit before the Xbox One image and the character movement has changed. You can tell because in the Xbox One photo of that shot, the planes in the background have moved a bit further than in the PS4 shot, That alone can change things, slight movement differences.

Then you look at all the other shots and it is basically the same thing, they are not close enough to each other for me to really tell. Never mind just gotta click view image.

Pretty poor comparison if you ask me but I know people will try to have a field day with this.

I really couldn't tell you what looks better based on these shots not being identical.

All I know is the both look like ass when you blow these images up, I know it is just the images themselves but that makes it even harder to compare them when they are such poor captures.

GarrusVakarian4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

Note to self: Never make constipated jokes, and never EVER say the X1 version looks better, even if you meant it as a joke. This is N4G, after all.....

AceBlazer134042d ago

XD I could've told you that a year ago. Still though not much difference.

Lol I imagined it in my head like everyone came in here prepared for a shit storm, only to see it look identical and be just like "Alright guys it looks identical let's go home".

Magicite4042d ago

this game certainly requires a powerhouse to be run /s

ifistbrowni4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

The xb1 screen looks like there is absolutely no shadows. Usually im with septic on this one (not noticing any difference), but everything is "well lit" in the Xbox One screen, making it appear somewhat less realistic.

NVM, i see what silvery has pointed out. It's obviously a screenshot from the same scene, just at different times (which is probably why the shadows are "off"). Wouldn't surprise me if the site that hosted the article took pictures with the intentions of a comparison, but after seeing that they were identical, they decided to switch it up to to "stir the pot." I feel guilty that i had given this website a click.

MysticStrummer4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

"They pretty much aimed for absolute parity for this game."

Exactly. This game's res/fps was announced months ago for both platforms.

Funantic14042d ago

The X1 version does look slightly better.

GarrusVakarian4042d ago (Edited 4041d ago )

No it doesn't.

PS4 version direct-capture screenshots-
http://alien.untergrund.net...

https://farm3.staticflickr....

Now compare them to the ones used in this article.

We have no idea how the X1 version looks until we get direct-captures of that version too, but no versions are being properly represented here, which is my point. You can;'t say one version looks sharper than the other if you aren't even using HD screenshots or direct-feed footage.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ4042d ago

And they both run @ 1080p and 60fps! We can have 1 day of peace lol

GarrusVakarian4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

Hopefully it's a near locked 60fps. I know RAGE ran at an almost locked 60fps on last gen consoles, and that was using the same engine as this, so that would be pretty cool if they managed to do it here too.

I guess we will have to wait for the framerate analysis from DF.

Or we could just not care and play it anyway, lol. It looks like a fun game imo.

k3rn3ll4041d ago

Haha I wish... now since they are the same everyone has to compare textures. Jesus people. How is this game does anyone know? Prolly not. Devs hate people like this. You all show no gratitude its sickening

user56695104041d ago

"No one likes playing games with constipated NPC's"

lmao you win the post of the week. too funny. the best comment to a dumb comparison article

dale_denton4041d ago

how are you going to compare a screenshot face expression when the images aren't even at the exact same timing. clearly he isn't talking yet on the ps4 shot unlike the xb1 he's already talking. so there goes your stupid "constipation" theory.

Vegetarianshark4042d ago

They almost look as good but PS4 has an obviously better AA, which looks good when you're actually playing the game but looks horrible in still screenshots. But eh, no significant difference really worth noting about, Wolfenstein is not designed to be a graphical powerhouse anyway.

pandaboy4042d ago

good? they both look last gen...

k3rn3ll4041d ago

Did u see the Pics from 360 and ps3 for this? Huge difference

Clown_Syndr0me4042d ago

I want to buy this bit don't know what for. Currently finishing up inFamous on PS4 and getting Watchdogs on PS4.
Im only playing Spiderman on X1 and its compete garbage so maaybe I should get this game on X1...

BattleReach4042d ago

Why do you have a Xbox One if you only play a game on it which you can play on PS4 too?

Clown_Syndr0me4042d ago

I don't...I played titanfall, Powerstar Golf, Ryse, Plants Vs Zombies, Forza 5, BF4, AC:BF and more...Im just not playing them right now.

ifistbrowni4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

Why are you questioning the purchasing habits of somebody else?

Even if spider-man was the ONLY game this user has played on XB1, it does not concern you and IMO should not be questioned.

I own both consoles, but choose to play everything on my PS4. Ask me why i bought both?

Because both consoles have/will have exclusives worth playing over the next 6 years. I think the folks around N4G are too caught up in the "now" of things. I'll find it hard to believe 2 years from now if 70% of the n4g community doesn't own both.

I already find it hard to believe that that the majority of us use this site daily, comment on articles that are of an interest to us and STILL manage to maintain hate for the "other" consoles. Why "keep up" with gaming news if you're just going to hate on about* half of it?

There are plenty of websites centered around xbox OR playstation, people like you (battlereach) would better fit in there.

MasterCornholio4042d ago

This game has no multiplayer so if the PS4 version turns out to better just get it on that.

ifistbrowni4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

what? How does what you're saying make any sense? Surely, it can't.

No multiplayer instantly makes it a must-have for ps4? As a bigger fan of Sony, i dont know whether or not to take this a slight or what....?

Are you implying that multiplayer is better on xbox? That's a very common misconception.

or..

Are you implying that single player games automatically run better on ps4 by ways of magic? That's just dead wrong.

I would love for you to elaborate.

Anyone should get the game for the console they feel comfortable with. Do you collect trophies or achievements? Do you like the DS4 or Xbox controller? Do you have more friends to party chat with on XB1 or PS4 (I like to chat while im gaming)? These are all things i'd consider before making the decision.

MasterCornholio4041d ago (Edited 4041d ago )

@brown

I'm so sorry that my comment wasn't clear.

What I meant to say is that since this is an FPS without multiplayer playing on the system that most of your friends play on isn't a factor. The next logical choice would be to choose the superior version of the game which will probably be the PS4 version due to the history of multiplats on it. However if you prefer the Xbox One controller for FPS and thats a good reason to get it on that(I just realized this so its new).

Sorry for angering you with my comment.

P.S Are you an Xbox fan?

vishant1014042d ago

I personally feel the xbox gamepad is still a nicer fit for shooting games. Buy it for the gamepad you prefer.

FalloutWanderer20774042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

Gamepad wise ,I agree.Prefer xbox pad,although the ps4 is pretty close.I personally disliked the ps3 controller.

For shooters? Mouse hands down any day. I have a 360 controller for my PC that I use depending on the game. FPS games work so much better on mouse there is just no contest.

I don't mean that to flame either. Trust me, I've tried both and after using the mouse I cannot ever see going back. Even in 3rd person games honestly. The aiming is sluggish.

Mouse can be floaty or overly sensitive sometimes of course,tweaking the sensitivity usually alleviates that though.

user56695104041d ago

spiderman is garbage??? i was hoping it be like the spiderman on ps2 what was it spiderman 2?

No_Limit4042d ago

Both look identical. Hopefully more games will run at 1080p and 60fps for both platforms. I think this is just the tip of the iceberg as surely within 2 years, I expect many games will run at that resoulution when developers get more comfortable with the hardware and new tools available at their disposal.

MysticStrummer4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

The resolution/fps of this game on both platforms was announced back in February. I expect that some devs will go for parity despite the still existing power difference.

MRMagoo1234041d ago (Edited 4041d ago )

The xbone denial force seem to be at full swing at the mo because a whole one game is close to identical at the moment, they all seem to think that means the power difference is gone, so every game running and looking better on the PS4 means nothing now because 1 game looks the same lol.

The game isnt a graphic powerhouse either, even the PC version my friend has had for a week now isnt the best but it looks a lot better than the console versions.

lifeisgamesok4041d ago (Edited 4041d ago )

Some people just have to deal with the fact that the games this current gen will look the same

Better numbers on paper doesn't equate to the advantage you want in the case of next gen

There hasn't been one multiplatform game that doesn't look identical on both consoles

MysticStrummer4041d ago

"There hasn't been one multiplatform game that doesn't look identical on both consoles"

Vision correction can be done quite painlessly these days, or perhaps you need a new TV…?

KimoNoir4042d ago (Edited 4042d ago )

That's good to hear that both of the console owners are happy with the quality.

Only difference would be a higher resolution on the PS4 which can only be seen with a screen equal to or higher than 1600x900.

But im assuming most of us are on our androids and iphonesw which are mostly lower than the spoken pixel count, most wont notice the difference at all until they play it.

Kribwalker4042d ago

Higher resolution?? They are both 1080p 60fps. You sir make nonsense with your argument

KimoNoir4041d ago

What do you always talk without a quick search? Theyre not 1080p or even close to that and theyre both 30fps.

Wolfenstein: The New Order Is The Last Of Its Kind

Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.

It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.

Wolfenstein: The New Order - A Highly Rated FPS That Hasn't Stood the Test of Time

Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?

Seth_hun387d ago

I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces

hiawa23386d ago (Edited 386d ago )

All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.

ChasterMies386d ago

I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.

Skuletor386d ago

Singleplayer shooters are still getting released every year, just look up "boomer shooters" and you'll find an an abundance of them. AAA fps campaigns, not so much.

Last year had Trepang2, RoboCop: Rogue City, Turbo Overkill, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Dread Templar, Sprawl and more

DustMan386d ago

The games you mentioned are not from AAA developers. Wolfenstein likely had a budget that was probably as big as all those games you mentioned combined. I'm not knocking the new wave of retro shooters. I absolutely love them (I think some get much higher review scores than they deserve though). I just really wouldn't describe Wolfenstein as purely a boomer shooter based on the relatively cohesive story, with cut scenes and is fully voice acted. Full set piece moments.

AA development seems to be focused keeping the single player solo experience alive. But the big developers are only concerned about the MTX and milking players who enjoy multiplayer.

ChasterMies386d ago (Edited 386d ago )

The age of AA shooters. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I like less expense, shorter games.

Abear21386d ago

Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.

Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?

DefenderOfDoom2386d ago

What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
