Face-Off: Sniper Elite 3

Sniper Elite has debuted on next-gen and the benefits of the new wave of technology are instantly apparent. Players are given newfound freedom to explore their surroundings and take on targets in any way they see fit. The sprawling maps provide opportunities for stealth and distraction, while the developer's enhanced Asura engine provides detailed locations and long draw distances that hold up well in brightly lit, arid environments. The result is a clear step beyond the previous Sniper games, although not quite distinctive enough to be considered a true next-generation demonstration of graphical quality.

The PS 3 boasts more shadows than the x1.

The Xbox One boasts more frame drops than the PS4.

"X1 version is 1080p and has a better frame rate"

That's simply not true....the framerate analysis in this article takes place in various different cut-scenes and gameplay scenarios, and in each scene the PS4 trounces the X1 in terms of...everything, including framerate. They haven't just chosen one specific scene where the PS4 comes out on top and used that.

It's time to swallow that pride and accept facts, instead of throwing around that BS claim about Eurogamer being bias in favour of Sony, especially seeing as they had no issue with outing Sony/Guerilla Games about the Killzone SF 1080p MP lie, or the fact that Thief had better cut-scene framerate on the X1, or that Strider is missing AF on the PS4 version, or that Thief was missing certain effects on the PS4 version.

Stop claiming bias where there is none, you sound like MorePowerOfGreen. The game simply looks and runs better on the more powerful hardware. Deal with it.

@DarkLordMalik

Don't be so sure. You probably watched RGT 's Sniper Elite face-off or read gamingbolt's article. PS4 wins by a pretty good margin. Read the DF article again.

Quick summary (from GAF ) about DF face-off:

- PS4 almost matches PC IQ, running at ultra settings.
- XB1 has lower resolution artwork and reduced texture filtering and also limited indirect shadowing
- Fluctuating framerate on both consoles
- PS4 closest to delivering 60 fps experience with a 5-10 fps lead over XB1
- XB1 has trouble keeping a consistent framerate when vegetation is on screen
- XB1 suffers a lot from tearing
- PC seems to have lower quality "buggy" shadows compared to consoles

Bathyj4352d ago

Sorry, but why would ps4 fans need to make up BS to feel like they have the better version? Has there been one multiplat game that's been better on Xbone?

Talk about moving the goal posts. Minute differences were fair topic for discussion last gen. Now we're all supposed to ignore obvious ones.

Lukas is right, there's a very apparent difference in power and performance this gen, just accept it. If you get angry or defensive every time someone discusses it you're going to be arguing a lot for the next 7 years.

Way to cherry pick a cutscene texture bug, lol. Check the screenshot comparison tool in the article, character models look incidental -

Then there's the lack of AF on X1 -

Compare the ground texture to this-

And again here (along with blurrier shadows and worse looking rocks) -

And then there's the horrible screen tearing on X1-

Then there's the worse framerate on top of constant screen tearing.

So, yeah.....Even when a dev aims for parity in terms of 1080p 60fps, the PS4 version still comes out on top.

@lifeisgamesok

Did you ever heard about some bug loading textures on some objects or LOD transition?

I guess not.

MasterCornholio4352d ago (Edited 4352d ago )

Life got owned.

LOL

@Edonus

And Eurogamer owned you as well.

This is so funny.

"Frame-rate tests for Sniper Elite 3 reveal that both versions feature fluctuating frame-rates that impact upon the overall experience. However, it is the PS4 which comes closest to delivering a 60fps while the Xbox One game suffers from constant screen tearing and a lower frame-rate in demanding scenes"

am out of here :O

Volkama4352d ago

Of all things, I bloody hate screen tearing. Stop trying to hit 1080p60 if screen tearing is the cost. I would sacrifice resolution or even framerate in a heartbeat if that is what it takes to avoid clear visual defects.

Ju4351d ago

PS4 version doesn't tear, though.

Letthewookiewin4352d ago

Xbox One hit 1080p..... With huge graphical cutbacks and still couldnt keep up frame rate.

iistuii4352d ago

I'm playing on PA4 & it's frame rate is all over the place. Another game that needs a 30fps limiter patch. It can't stay a steady 60 so why try, it just ruins the experience.

GarrusVakarian4352d ago

You can enable V-SYNC in the options to lock it to 30fps.

iistuii4352d ago

You can ? Must have missed that.

GarrusVakarian4352d ago

"You can ? Must have missed that."

I'm 100% sure you can, yes. I'd go ahead and enable it if you aren't a fan of fluctuating framerates ;)

Bad list ! But shooters aren’t the reason anyone buys a Switch

FreeckyCake1218d ago (Edited 1218d ago )

Why is it bad? Plus, I never mentioned in the article that shooters are the reason people buy a Switch.
