Simply adding RAM wont make whats in the PS4 > than a GTX680. GTX680 will always be better irrespective of the closed system and coding to the metal, customisations etc. It doesnt matter not when the power difference is that big and especially not in a tech demo....

I just think it's silly to compare a PC rig that costs 3x as much as this yet-to-be-finalized PS4 hardware. You can always spend more to get more on PC, so any comparison is pointless.

That being said, they both look great.

I don't know if it's the depth of field, but it seems the textures in the foreground on the PS4 version are of a much better quality.  Either way, very impressive.  Just imagine what the 2nd and 3rd wave of PS4 games are going to look like.

it's so lovely, we happen to have a graphics major on vgc.. everything he says is clearly true.. without a single citation for his information.. not only that.. but he tends to condescend anything playstation and has done so for the past 5 years plus..

That's a very good point.  The GTX 680 is going to run you over $400 dollars.  So, the graphic card alone is selling for around what the PS4 is going to launch for.  The fact that they are even comparable is incredible.  And then after developers figure out how to completely utilize the HW, they will be even closer.  Next gen is definitely a good leap forward.

You're absolutely right.  Everything from this point on will only look better, this is just the tip of the iceberg.  Not bad for a lowly console. ;)

Top pic has completely different illumination and is zoomed way more out from the textures, the closeness and ligthing messes with depth of field and the angle is also quite different, look at the chain to the left.
These cannot be properly compared since they show the same area and character model under widely different settings and conditions.

PS: OP, are you suggesting with this that Unreal Engine 4 will look better on the PS4 than on the PC?

Well it's obvious the tech demo will look absolutely better on PC than on PS4. The hardware is more powerful.

But the most important thing here is: Finally consoles catched up with PC hardware. This console generation lasted too long, and the power of PC hardware was getting wasted for the sake of developing gimped ports for consoles.

lol I can't found one good quality video in 1080p for the Elemental Demon running in PS4.

At the very least this shows that the UE4 is scale-able (even though this was confirmed before, this is just video proof).
