Behold, The new-gen anatomy! Blood, bones, lungs, and all.
Another day, another game, another article to pit the consoles against each other to see who triumphs over whom. Sniper Elite 3, the successor to Sniper Elite V2 was released on the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3 and the PC not a handful of days back, and already the the community is abuzz with who takes the crown of superiority. Might as well that; I’ll play along.
As usual, we’ll start the discourse with the new generation of consoles first. Both, the X1 and the PS4 have been vying to scramble over each other to bask in glory and the majority of times, it’s the X1 that is left behind; but only ever so marginally.
Screen tearing seems quite common on Xbox One games. Lack of color on PS4 and both having inconsistent frame rates...40-60 not to bad I guess.
PC is the clear winner of course, but don't get to excited...as PC version of Sniper Elite 3 suffers from major pop-in issues, something that is easily noticeable when using your binoculars or your sniper’s scope. Not only that, but the shadows from the trees feel kind of low-res and messy too, and there are also some shadow flickers on distant objects.
This game requires heavy use of GPU...CPU requirement is very low to my understanding, and if that's the case...they could have squeezed more out of the PS4 over the Xbox One...simply because the PS4 has way more GPU resources.
If I decide to play this game, I'm going PC for sure!

Lack of color on PS4.
Adjust contrast on TV. But i think that colors on PS4 version are just fine. Xbone in some games has problems with oversaturated contrast or 'black crush'.
Comparisons for a game that plays like it's stuck in gen7 seems redundant IMO. It's not that SE3 is a bad game. But, if you played the other games in the series, this game isn't doing anything fresh on current gen.
True, the same could be said about many other games, but the topic is Sniper Elite 3. Predicatably, now sit back and wait for the 'Mines better than yours' comments.

Who cares what it looks better on it still looks like a last generation game. I bought it on my PS4( digital download) and it's an unplayable mess right now.... Gotta say I'm pretty tired of paying developers to be a beta tester. Wish I could trade it in, but that is the problem with buying games digitally. In all the time it's been out I've only managed to play maybe 3 or 4 online matches. To anyone remotely interested in this game, wait a month maybe by then they'll release a patch to fix the dozen or so issues.
Love sniper elite 3 but the game doesn't look next gen at all. Could've easily played it on a ps3 without any problems.
It's just massive in environment but lacking in details and complex architecture.
