So I watched this and listened as they explained that the PS4 is typically running 900p-1000p, and the XB1 is 720p-900p.

And I thought okay... thats probably not so bad right? but watching the video there seem to be pretty darn big differnces in IQ from the PS4 to XB1 version (in-game, not cutscenes).

Did the developers not spend as much time optimising the XB1 version? is the game just too demanding (& hits the weaker console hardest)? Just normal differnce between PS4 & XB1?

What do you guys think? 

It should be said the Xbox One seems to spend more time at 60 fps than the PS4 though.

Multiplayer doesnt look smooth on PS4. If thats because its running higher resolutions, it should be lowered in multiplayer to run more like the XB1.

PC win huge over PS4 in image quality though.
Multiplayer seems alot smoother on Xbox One.

DF's YT is perhaps the most cancerous gaming community I've come across, which is a bit odd seeing how their website's is just fine.

TLDR for the lazy:
- The PS4 averages between 1000p and 900p, and the X1 between 900p and 720p.
- Campaign performance is very similar on both, with the X1 having a slight edge.
- Settings on both appear to be akin to medium on PC, with some effects varying from low to high depending on the scene.
- Multiplayer performance is a decent amount better on the X1, though the difficulty in comparing multi-player performance is noted.
- If you have a decent PC, you're going to be laughing your way to the graphics bank.

Given BF is a series that prides itself in part on its 60fps target, it seems to me like both versions should have opted for harsher resolution scaling. Looking at performance on PC, it seems like they could have done with a bit more time in the oven too. Still, on the graphics front it's an impressive showing on both consoles.

Awesome optimization on PC! Damn!!!

Just look at it, the game looks fantastic, almost photorealistic on all platforms.

Yup. The latest patch fixed a lot of the menu UI speed problems. I wonder if this was tested before or after that since the online portion is noticeably smoother for me post patch.
