What? Are you kidding? These probably don't represent what the game actually looks like on the XB1 but the BX1 is so much darker than the PS4 version that I'd have to assume you're being sarcastic.

The Xbox versions contrast is greater. The dark areas area are a lot darker but also the highlights are brighter too. Obviously this may not be intended but its quite apparent in the those shots.

They look pretty much the same, with the primary exception being he inconstant brightest of the X1 and it being slightly blurrier. The beta is 900p though, so that's not surprising.

Forced parity as expected. A shame, but oh well.

I don't think this is forced parity I think this is just the result of the game being made for 360/PS4.

That's definitely a major factor, especially coupled with the 30fps lock, but if they are truly identical at launch then the parity was forced (or they were simply lazy :p).

Providing both are optimized to the same standard, there are simple ways developers can use the PS4's extra power. Better AA is an easy one. Providing an unlocked frame rate option is another, but that's a decision that goes past simply wanting parity or not.

Still, it's not a major issue. It's a shame, but the difference between the PS4 version now and the PS4 version with better AA etc will have been fairly minimal to most people.

it does look unnatural, but a lot of people seem to like this as it's not uncommon that TVs at retailers use similar settings

I hope this is not a X1 settings problem, because while it's easy to emulate this kind of thing with your own TV settings (if you like it), you generally can't get a more natural look, if the source material is like this

It does NOT look like this though. I have both systems and played them both a few levels. The blacks are NOT crushed like these images shows and the colors are NOT oversaturated like the OP images.. Can't explain it.. But there was little to NO difference besides some better detail on the PS4.

Ran game at the same time and even compared same scenes by switching inputs..

LOL. You don't get me that easy, I'm used to people over at Gaff. Nice try though :)

I have no idea what youre talking about, but whatever...

He's right the X1 version is much darker, not only in this game too, it's how the graphic card has been set up it seems.

its the built in upscaler in the XB1. basically any sub 1080p game will have this (huge) issue unless the devs build their own upscaler like what Cryteck did with Ryse.

Or if MS fixes it with FW... Doesn't seem to be their top priority though.

But you're right, Ryse was phenominal and they rolled their own. Did they still use the built in HW upscaler, just different contraints/etc? I'm guessing so. At the end of the day all these HW units are just specialized math units.

Some of those Xone pictures are significantly darker. The images lose a lot of detail. It's weird. Aside from that, the graphics are pretty much identical as far as I can tell.

Well, they look almost the same, but the PS4 version is a little brighter
