I don't get the big deal with 1080p 30fps or 60fps. Just give me a fun game instead

"Overall those 2 version are indeed really close and I wouldn't mind playing the X1 instead of the PS4.

But it is technically a win for PS4:

- Better refined expensive HBAO (Ambient occlusing)
- More details in the background (more trees mainly, important weird omission from DF)
- Higher res background looks sharper
- Slightly better framerate (low PS4/24fps and X1/22fps)

Thinking that if the developer didn't tell DF that PS4 had better HBAO, Digital Foundry would have almost told us X1 was the winner, and also in the update DF forgot to tell us HBAO is better than AO...

Anyway thank you for your always interesting face-offs. Hopefully those errors and omission won't prevent you or traumatize you in the continuation of your excellent otherwise work. "

HBAO is AO. It's just that HBAO just gives a better shadow quality than SSAO.
