Forums - Gaming - Digital Foundry: Destiny BETA Xbox One vs. Playstation 4

I'm okay with Bungie downgrading the PS4 version for parity (that's the only way to get games to look the same on the X1 and PS4 seeing as to how one is just straight up more powerful). They were basically Microsofts Naughty Dog and not only are they now creating an even bigger and better franchise multiplat, but they are giving the PS brand special preferences. Other studios don't get such a pass though :P



Thanks jlmurph!

So, what's surprising here is that there are no crushed blacks to see and they are not mentioned in the analysis. Makes someone wonder how the screencaps were done in this thread:http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=187389

Funny quotes from other threads (without usernames, of course):

"Textures look a lot muddier on the Xbox One, there's also the issue of AA and Anisotropic Filtering lacking on the Xbox One.
Colors look more vibrant on the PS4 version and the image quality seems a lot better, OVERALL, on PS4.
PS4's superior hardware and performance is evident, even on a crossplatform game released also for PS360.
Frame rate also appers far more stable in the PS4 version. You will see when the Final Game is released !"

"And expect on Launch PS4 version > One version too ;) and not by a small margin..."

"

If someone were to give me any version to play, I couldn't even tell which one it was. The fact that people have to dissect these pictures says everything. People playing on the Xbox One will have the exact same experience as PS4 users.

 


huh? what are you talking about. Differences are apperant at first glace."

"Of course PS4 version will look better and it will be the best version, PS4 has superior hardware."

"Yet again, gamma is totally fucked on the Xbox One. It has been 9 years Microsoft, fix it!"

"I'm going to be fascinated to see a comparison of the two games when it isn't upscaled (which causes the high contrast/crushing) on the XB1 and it runs at a native 1080p. This inability to see something that's clearly visible simply because it doesn't fit a 'needed' narrative is pretty damned scary when you think about it."

"Such petty differences...PS4 has more detail where the XBO is super dark but it also doesn't seem to have as much shadow depth as you'd expect in some spots."

"Surprise. The PS4 version looks better. Who would have guessed? Open them in full res if you want to see the true difference. The small pictures don't show much detail."

 

Actually I'm pretty sure the screenshots where done using the darkest setting in gamma (game setting) on Xbox One.
I did not post in the thread because the screeshots were not close to what I had in the beta and my guess is that someone very insecure was just trying too hard :)

The comments are very funny. While the PS4 is more powerfull the reality is that a lot of people sees "differences" even where there is none (other than resolution)... In several games we can definitly see the differences but then in Destiny you see how credible several people are when they are coming out with their pro. analysis...

This thread is great. Nice to see people talking about Bungie "downgrading" the PS4 version instead of thinking they could eventually "upgrade" it like they intentionnaly removed or limited stuff. Internet Pros for the win.



Can this silly discussion just stop? The conspiracy theories are just getting crazier and crazier. Is it so hard to get that almost all multiplats will look almost exactly the same on both platforms for most of this generation. They will, in fact, look so close to each other that no one will notice the difference. So why is it so important that the PS4 version looks better? Anyone that can answer that?



It is strange how close these nexgen versions of last gen IP look compared to their lastgeb counterparts..... It's like ac iv which looks almost exactly the same on os3 vs ps4.. Despite the os4 being 10 times more powerful

Because as so many have said in the past year and a half, this gen is supposed to be the biggest power gap in history or something, so people want absolute super disparity in all games as proof...........

Thats the issue but I honestly don't know why people care so much one way or the other............If I was a part of the actual ps4 dev team than yea, I'd want to brag a bit, if I just bought the system then I have no bragging rights.
