@jakesnakeel @Halloll Yeah, for the first 60 minutes. After that short time it's just boring and repetitive as hell.

Whoever did the recording for the PC version definitely needs to learn about the brightness and contrast settings on their setup.

Id love GS to share the raw uncompressed files from this. Also the PC specs they run this on. because compression makes all videos look like crap.

with PC you will get better FPS and better resolution (1440p,4k...etc) this will make the game look and play better. You cant get this across with a low res video running at 30fps.

@Sam_021 You can see a major difference at a Distance on the consoles being the tessellation is pretty bad and Anti Alis just seems to stop working lol.

@nomadie @Sam_021 AA (Anti-aliasing) is absolutely fine, tessellation is almost as good, I suspect they didn't put that much work on the PC version. Having said all of that, I still believe the game looks better on PC providing you have 6GB of Vram, my 780 is doing fine but it's only 3GB.


Draw distance is actually more limited and vastly effected on the PC version mostly due to lack of Vram being limited to 2-3GB.

Weird. The same game in the same resolution, with the same poly character models and same resolution textures... looks the same.

Seem identical enough. I was planning on getting it on ps4 but ended up buying it for 25euro less on PC since EU release date was like 3 days later.

Was worried about my system specs - Phenom II X4 965, HD6850, but I was really satisfied with the results. With everything on low except texture which is on medium, I have a good 40-60 fps and everything has been working perfectly playing it on a PS4 controller.

@whatsazerg It's always the same. I think maybe it has something to do with a difference in the way TVs work vs the way monitors work. There's a guy by the name K-Putt who makes SweetFX presets specifically to correct this problem.

In my opinion, videos are not the ideal media to compare. Videos are usually filtered and compressed, depending which software you used to record, and then uploaded and compressed again.
The ideal would be (I'm pretty sure I did see this method here on gamespot and I dunno why the didn't keep it) a few HD screenshot of many situations, each taken from every plataform, overlapped, and with sliders to mask and demask and compare details side to side.

@ferna1234 I'm with you on that one. I remember when sites used to do that. Just take a screenshot and allow us to compare them. Why everyone is going to this video comparison method is beyond me because it's harder to notice the differences in real time. At least in the case of the Xbox One and PS4.


Still, from what I can tell, the console versions are so similar to each other as to not be able to tell the difference unless you were some type of top of the line graphics expert. The PC version obviously looks better than both console versions, which is sad in a way since these systems are brand new and we had to wait 7 long years to get them.

It would be interesting if they did a Poll with 3 images people could vote for which is which and after 7 days reveal the platform for each image.

The PC version has more fog, slightly better shaders (notice how the rain looks more dense and the individual droplets react to hitting the ground + the fog) and less contrast. Overall though, not much difference. I wouldn't be able to tell which is which without the labels.

@rajsaha Materials also look clearly more defined in the PC version. His hair and the cloth he is wearing does not have the overglossy look in the rain. but other than that - looks pretty much to be a match on PS4 and X1

Absolutely no discernible difference between PS4 & X1. To the naked eye, they look exactly the same.

The PC version has much more ambient light and less contrast, which makes it look like the less appealing of the 3, but then again I am sure the PC version can be enhanced.


All in all, who gives a damn about pixels (except of course fanboys)?

@Keitha313 Hating on PC gamers being able to play it in the graphical fidelity that the devs meant it to be seen it. Yeah that is pathetic

From what i can tell the PS4 version looks better. It has more pronounced colors while the PC version the colors are all faded. Not a PS4 fanboy.. kinda of a PC elitist myself, but i can't deny what i am seeing. The PC port is mediocre at best, but that's nothing new anymore. If anyone wants to optimize their PC experience i wrote a guide here:

Contrast, colors and brightness can be adjusted via the monitor, the game itself or even the Vcard control panel...You couldn't have found more irrelevant points of comparisons...

So in other words Ultra is not ultra... Just a VERY slight improvement over high. Yet they say 6 GB of VRAM.... lol.

@parkurtommo Then GS needs to remove that "Ultra setting" claim in the video. Unless they got it early.

@Truth_Hurts_U As far as I know, the HD texture pack is the one requiring 6GB vram, doesn't really mention it in the video, unless it's the patch.
