Is not comfirmed the resolutions, maybe upscaling 1080p [rumor]. For now the use for Smoother anti-aliasing on PS4 like the texture plastic and blurred , not seem real. Xone contrast is up and lights. But Ps4 resolutions is little better.

 

 

The Xbox One version has a post processing sharpening filter over the scene, so actual fact, the image less accurate since it is artificially boosted. So while it looks like there is more detail than the PS4 version, the latter in fact truer to the (no holds bar) PC version. Also, bearing in mind, that the PS4 has a higher internal resolution.. finer details like sharp lines appear much smoother on it, which holds up better against aliasing artifacts when upscaled, verses running at native res. This will be more apparent in motion.

And to be honest, I'm not a big fan of boosted contrast/high gamma setting on the Xbox One version. I honestly rather have my display do that since it's already calibrated and can be tweaked better to my liking. Although I can see most people taking a lliking for the more dynamic image of the Xbox One.

So all in all the PS4 version is much better on a technical level, with; ambient occusion, higher resolution and a higher framerate. Though the Xbox One version of BF4 is no slouch (technically cannot be compared), surprisingly, holds up pretty well to the PS4 version.. despite the difference in resolution. Given that the upscaler and post processing used on the Xbox One version does a bang up job making the game still look great at 720P is commendable in itself.

That's the thing that gets me, though.  Framerate aside (which the PS4 wins), why does it matter if the Xbox One version is being artificially sharpened?  Doesn't the end result of what you personally see on screen matter most of all?  I mean Wind Waker HD on Wii U (Neutral system, here) runs at 1080p and 60fps but it's not the best looking game on the console to me.  I'm one of those people that doesn't care if RAGE on Xbox 360 is doing all kinds of technical stuff that I can't see.  The game looks ugly to me.  What I'm saying in a drawn out way is that looking good looks good.  If your girl looks better because she used make-up after she got dressed and mine looks better without make-up, your girl still looks hotter right?

Though we all know it's what's inside that counts.

 

Inside her vagina, that is!  I'm talking about penis.  *high five*
