Call of Duty Advanced Warfare 1080p Video Comparison: PS4 Superior But Xbox One Not Too Far Behind

Sledgehammer Games have almost achieved parity for the year's biggest game.

[qwerty676]

not this again.

but you can tell ps4 is slightly crisper, when watching this

however i still think the colors are more vibrant on the xbo version especially when you compare pictures, as the ps4 colors seem duller.

but its all meaningless stuff, they look pretty much the same and none of this stuff matters in the end. for me anyway.

@TheWatercooler

with an name like that, i would expect nothing less from you.

[TheWatercooler]

Of course the PS4 is superior. It always is. In every way possible as a console really.

The 900p effect makes it look like my tv has been smeared with vaseline. I don't know how xbone players put up with it. I hadn't even heard of the 900p resolution until xbone came along.

@gamer. Forn said it exactly. Online it doesn't and we don't even know for sure it does in SP. You forgot to mention that DF only did an early comparison which was part of the first level.

[gamer7804]

Ps4 has higher resolution in this game but the X1 does have a better frame rate.

[Forn]

@gamer

Not online it doesn't.

[ShowanW]

This video is a false representation of how the game actually looks.

I have Advanced Warfare on the One. And it looks really good

If you were to see this game on a full 1080p tv, you would not know it was only 900p.

These Youtube video's are not accurate at all.

I've also seen this game running on a PS4, and it looks even better in person than it does on this Youtube video

[SilentNegotiator]

@gamer

And 2 or 3 frames are so noticeable in the 53-60fps range. Way more important and noticeable than 600,000 additional pixels and no screen tearing.

/s

And then there's the fact that the Ps4 is locked at 1080p60fps in multiplayer, where it counts.

[Brazz]

ya are wrong Gamer7804....

the turth is... on sigle player mode, X1 have 2-4 fPS advantage over Ps4, but Ps4 have 50% better resolution.

On online multiplayer, Both have the same framerate, a very solid frame rate, and Ps4 still gets 50% better resolution. (ful HD vs 1360x1080)

[Ju]

Fun with numbers:

fps vs. pixels: 93% framerate vs. 66% pixels. 93 > 66

1360x1080 is equivalent with the amount of pixels in 1600x900 (900p)

It's a black crush issue on Xbone. Nothing wrong with PS4 version. Check the Eurogamer's Face-Off.

@KNWS :

"...Redgamingtech uploaded a box One Vs PS4 Graphics Comparison video he claims the blacks look better on x box 1. How come nobody else noticed this? DF or gamingbolt?

Jaggies appear on PS4 version too, but more so on x box 1...."

Oh yes, your conspiracy theory about DF. That's not RIGHT black contrast, it is wrong. Why i see less details on guns or some textures on walls in Xbone version? Of course, black crush issue.

[kazuma999]

dat glare on xbox one >.>

[Docknoss]

That...

[xxx_Solid_Snake_xxx]

the frame rate on xbox one is better :)

[SpinalRemains138]

Its solid 60 online.

[ziggurcat]

@yarbie:

that's SP, spinal was referring to MP, which is a solid 60fps.

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

that, and your point is moot based on the fact that we knew that it's not a locked 60fps, which it also isn't on xbone, so...

[DragoonsScaleLegends]

I have noticed stuttering in the single player on the PS4 version but nothing major like people want you to believe. It's never dropping to 30fps like everyone keeps saying it's just noticeable random stutters every once in a while. If it is dropping that low for anybody I would say that their PS4 is bugging out and they need to reset it.

The multiplayer seems to run smooth and if you notice anything it would be lag but I haven't seen much of that either even though everyone is complaining about lag at the moment.

The new exo mode sucks in my opinion but it also has frame-rate drops and lag which doesn't help it when me over either.

@yarbie1000

I played that part and didn't notice anything there. His version is bugging out. Their is not huge drops but stutters. I never noticed it was running at a low frame-rate but I did notice random stutters between it going from 60fps dropping a second and going right back up.

[Brazz]

only on single player X1 frame rate is better, something like 2-4 fps advantage...

on the other side, Ps4 gets 50% better resolution and the frame rate is the same for both versions on multiplayer.

i repeat, on Multiplayer de frame rate is the same, very solid for X1 and Ps4, and Ps4 gets 50% better resolution all the time.

[Rimeskeem]

Probably because of the lower resolution

[JJShredder]

Game actually runs and looks really good on the XB1. Sledgehammer did a pretty darn good job!

Only issue is dat online P2P nonsense......

[iistuii]

My PS4 version has a native resolution that makes the campaign framerate stutter on busy levels. It's perfect on MP, but I'd rather the dynamic resolution like the X1 on campaign as its bloody annoying when it stutters, although it doesn't happen often.

[bleedsoe9mm]

basically the same , if you really want the best of any game you buy the pc version .

[xxmagicmanx]

Superior??? The game runs better in Xbox One and this website said Superior? All these media gsmespot IGN Neogaf etc are misleading the gaming community

[Keregan]

Agreed, it's another case of sony cutting the corners to get the 1080p. You can see the XO version has better effects/colors and textures, not to mention the most important a more stable FPS.

[NatureOfLogic_]

Lmao

[LordMaim]

That's just completely incorrect.

[pompous]

Dude it only runs superior in SP, but in MP where it MATTERS ps4 is locked 60 @ 1080.. So go spread fud elsewhere..

[Ju]

It's not even superior in SP. Normalized to % it is 93 (PS4) vs 66 (XO). Objectively, 93 > 66. However, I wouldn't mind adaptive line scaling. 93% of 1920 would drop to 1785 in the worst case, which is still significantly higher than 1360 where the Xo lurchs around most of the time.

[Illusive_Man]

Law of diminishing returns with resolutions between 900p and 1080p especially if the assets and texture quality is the same. Sure there is the on paper differences but visually the differences are very miniscule, particularly in motion. I don't expect to see a substantial gap in graphical quality until we enter the 2k era. Maybe next gen? Hopefully we get dedicated gpus and get away from this apu crap though I doubt it.

The frame rate is better on the X1. I wonder if Sony had a hand in forcing locked 1080p in campaign. If they did that is very sad. A dynamic resolution would have prevented stuttering.

[iistuii]

Yes I agree. We have both versions in our household & we were sad enough to actually compare them & you'd be really hard pushed to notice anything in them. But I must say the most noticeable thing is the stuttering framerate on my PS4 campaign, which doesn't happen on the Xbox.

[Ju]

The stuttering is probably a bug (usually happening when things load in the background or floating point rounding errors happen and frames are duplicate (=standstill). Each 60fps is a the common time base = 16.6ms, but if it 'wobbles' between 17 & 15 it must compensate the diff which is a fraction of a frame). It isn't a performance indicator.

[NatureOfLogic_]

So you want crushed blacks, screen tearing and sub 1080p in exchange for 2-3 extra frames in one cut scene that only last 1-2 seconds?

[strangeaeon]

Ah crushed blacks, the go to term for fanboys trying to sound like they are knowledgeable. I haven't seen these "crushed blacks" in my experience with AW so far.

[iistuii]

Er not in a cut scene, there's lots of times in the levels it happens. one level through the streets where you cut through buildings it's terrible. And no i don't want all those things you said, but I do want a smooth running game even if it means sacrificing a very slight resolution drop.

[livedeht]

@Illusive, lol 2k=1080p, 4k=2x1080p. The differences between versions are minuscule at best, however the real differentiator is shareplay and remoteplay. 1080p is just a bonus. ;-)

[smellslikeralph]

Stupid imo. This does nothing but start useless fanboy wars where ps gamers go nuts and attack x1 or make ps gamers heads bigger then it already is.

Ive played cod on both and while ps4 is crispier its not enough for me to moan about it

[buyakabuyaka6199]

Multiplats on ps4 will always be superior.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

PS4 VS Xbox One frame rate comparison....Xbox One wins...PS4 not far behind. Just funny they choose to just focus on graphics.

[yarbie1000]

CoD is the best looking FPS i've played on consoles. Actually one of the best looking games besides Ryse (In Campaign)

[123pol]

I dont see ANY difference, exept for xbox ones crushed blacks.

[DEEBO]

Ok so ps4 fps dips in story mode but online it doesn't dip and it's 1080p so how long is the story ten or five hours? but lets be real COD is about MP and ps4 wins because not only is it 1080p but the fps doesn't dip but most of you guys will just skip over that fact like always.

[famoussasjohn]

Depends on difficulty, I beat it in about 7 hours on normal, you receive Supply Drops for MP as you go along the SP, so it may be worth it to get some cool gear or guns.

[XxExacutionerxX]

Wow, are you 14 years old?
MP matters the most so that means the Ps4 wins. Yea!!!! Ps4 Yes!!!
I understand how many lawns you did to get a Ps4, so someone telling you that it's not as good as the Xbox One hurts so much.
Speaking of fanboy wars, no one is talking about how the xbox one is cheap in than the Ps4 and you get 2 free games with a Xbox one. PS4 charges 50 dollars extra for the Destiny game.
A lot has changed in a year Sony fanboys, I also see way more Xbox Ones leave out of my store than Ps4s.

[CernaML]

"I also see way more Xbox Ones leave out of my store than Ps4s."

Gee I wonder how many times we've heard that before.

[DougLord]

God this is SO stupid. The differences are barely noticeable. If you were playing the game for the 1st time without knowing what system it was on - you would not be able to guess which one it was consistently.

And I don't care if we are talking about the PS4's SLIGHTLY crisper resolution or the XONE's SLIGHTLY more consistent frame rate. Just freaking stop it!

"900p looks like you put Vaseline on your screen?" That is the most fanboy, douche bag comment of all time. You clearly haven't even attempted to play both.

[corroios]

Lol. Again with this. Better version and true next gen is on the PS4. Nothing new here. A dynamic resolution is crap.

A version that cant handle 1080p in 2014/15 is not next gen, but cross gen.

poor are the one that keep dreaming about a multiplat that runs better on the Xbox One. Live with the reality. A full year with this and still...

Not even with tests... the mags are also againts Xbox One! really. The world is against, really.

[famoussasjohn]

I suppose BF4 on the PS4 at 900P was cross gen, based on your standards, right?

[DragoonsScaleLegends]

I noticed that almost all third party games that have been released on current and last gen have not looked that great on my PS4 and have the most frame-rate issues. The Last of Us on PS4 was an exception and in my opinion is the best looking PS4 game so far. I would rather have a smooth good looking game than a game that is supposed to have next gen technologies. My biggest problem for my PS4 games is not really the frame-rate (frame-rate issues are there for quite a few though) but the bad anti-aliasing.

Developers should focus on frame-rate, anti-aliasing, and 1080p more than anything because these are more important than how realistic the people look to me because having these issues make the game look bad. COD AWs single players biggest issues is not the frame-rate (the stutters are annoying though) but the shit anti-aliasing. I mean BF4 had better anti-aliasing in the single player and it didn't have the stutters that COD AW has. The Last of Us PS4 version is the only game that to me got everything right.

[Predaking77]

No surprises here, overall the PS4 version is always superior.

Is a shame that even after a year and with the SDK update the X1 version still cannot achieve a native 1080p resolution.

[corroios]

It not a shame, the problem was that microsoft didnt want to put a good or medium plus GPU on the Xbox One. Now they are paying the price...

Because i can accept the problem with the last gen memory... but the GPU no away. They got BILLLIONS and want to sell millions of consoles, so they should have put a much better then the PS4

[strangeaeon]

Please can one of these sites not label which is which and see the resulting opinions?

[yarbie1000]

comparison video and can't even render in 1080P 60FPS - what's the point?

[hello12]

Redgamingtech uploaded a box One Vs PS4 Graphics Comparison video he claims the blacks look better on x box 1. How come nobody else noticed this? DF or gamingbolt?

Jaggies appear on PS4 version too, but more so on x box 1.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[cyhm3112]

the stupid thing about this comparison is not because how close they are, it is because how they not manage to show the superiority of the PS4's graphics. Maybe they did it on purpose? who knows?

[Ju]

From a pure gameplay perspective it really doesn't matter. I just get my kicks out of the whole discussion. It will keep me enjoying this for years to come. To the green friends: Never give, up never surrender. Keep believing. At least this will guarantee some entertainment value.
