Forums - Microsoft - Thief PC native 1080p versus Xbox One upscaled 1080p - can you spot the differences?

Thief launched earlier this week on last gen systems, Xbox One, PS4 and PC platforms amidst some mixed reviews and analysis. Looking at the game and it seems the main issues with regards to the Xbox One version in particular are some less than impressive frame rates which cause stutter when moving. However when comparing the Xbox One version to the PC,  aside from the obvious differences between native and upscaled, the graphical differences aren’t so obvious with the Xbox One version holding up well in comparison despite some lower resolution textures and slightly different brightness/contrast levels by default. Take a look at the video which shows off the PC version next to the Xbox One version running in sequence using the same scenes. Can you spot the differences? Please be aware that the overall quality is diminished due to Youtube compression but does give the general idea as both versions take the hit.

The difference is extremely small but Xbone is slightly blurrier and PC sharper.

Is those PC settings on maximom settings?

That tutorial intro looked quite interesting BTW. I might check this game out after all.



Yea, one seems to say PC at the bottom left while the other seems to say Xbox One

Youtube compression makes things like this pointless.

Digital foundry said there is virtually no difference, becasue there is virtually no difference.

Resolution wars are the dumbest wars ever.

 

Getting the most powerful console isn't dumb though and one way of determining which is more powerful is higher framerates and higher resolutions, on games that are on both consoles.

That game is so brown and dark it's hard to spot the difference but on more light up segments you can see the pc version is sharper and a bit more vibrant



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

what is the native resolution and fps on the xbone ?



not according to df. they like games with lower res,lower framerate, and more noticable shimmer and more notable aliasing artifacts on shaders and declares that version the winner. gotta love that logic.. they're putting cocaine on their cornflakes instead of sugar now. .

''Bird cages shimmer, while hair and fur shaders show up aliasing artefacts to a MORE notable degree on Xbox One in motion''



The red font on the lower left pretty much gave it away.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

worse res and fps than the ps4 and with more shimmer and worse aliasing artefacts,but declared the winner by df
