Well, Even if the PS4 version of BF4 is undeniably better (resolution, framerates and effects). I am worried about the soft blur on PS4 images which is present on all materials we have. Because I hate blurred games.

I hope it is due to a poor upscaler (becaue FXAA should not blur so much already soft textures) and then 1080p games won't have this problem.

Hopefully most the PS4 games will be 1080p. Anyway the DF faceoff of call of duty will show us if this soft blur comes from the uspcaler or comes from some too strong (and useless) AA (quincunux? remember first PS3 blurred games).

No soft blur... you are watching bad videos... PS4 version looks exactly like the PC verison with lower resolution and AA.


I do understand that DF admited there was a problem with XOne capture. I am only comparing versus PC images.

PS4 images compared to PC appeared to be blurred. DF never admitted having botched PS4 material. And on any compressed video we can't see such tiny difference of a soft blur. PS4 textures images compared to PC should not be so blurred because the resolution of the textures are the same.

If you compare on the DF Faceoff the 4th image with the 2 guys. compare the head texture of the man on the left. The PS4's Compared to the PC shot is evidently blurred. The Xone VS PC one on this image appears more sharp but NOT higher resolution. Same amount of details. But PS4 vs PC, the texture appears blurred. It shouldn't, it's the same texture, FXAA doesn't normally apply on already soft textures. There is clearly a soft blur applied to the PS4 version vs PC (and more so VS XOne).

Resolution of this texture appears the same XOne vs PC if you ignore the sharpening effect, there is at much details between the two. But we loose details on the PS4 version. Why? Upscaler problem? Or maybe Dice added this soft blur on the whole image with a strong vaseline effect or Super Strong FXAA engaged. I dunno.

When you notice the blur effect you notice it is not (or even this only) textures only limited but in fact the whole images are blurred, on top of the FXAA solution. Hard to not notice it once you know it's there.

The only way to be sure is the next DF faceoff PS4 vs PC of Call of Duty.

Once again, this has noting to do with power, everybody knows now (even DF admitted it so it should be end of story) that PS4 is significantly (between 56% and 125% more) stronger than XOne.
