Battlefield Hardline Visual Analysis: PS4 vs. Xbox One vs. PC

GamingBolt:"Battlefield: Hardline, the spin-off to the blockbuster first person shooter franchise and handled by Dead Space developer Visceral Games, is finally here. Along with all the expectations surrounding online performance and the overall fun of the new modes, there’s been a fair amount of discussion on the graphics. We analyzed the February 2015 beta across the PC, PS4 and Xbox One to reveal that the game bore quite a lot in common with Battlefield 4. In fact, we noted that it didn’t seem to be pushing any new boundaries and was largely similar in look to DICE’s 2013 FPS. It was even more interesting later when Visceral confirmed that PC gamers who could run Battlefield 4 would have no problem running Hardline. But we’ll get to that in a bit."

Not disputing things from a on paper numbers game but I will say this, based on the screenshots and video provided I see little to no differences of either console versions. I also am going to say their PS4 capture is pretty poor as it looks super washed out when comparing it to the X1 version.

Gazondaily4076d ago

The low res on the X1 makes things look fugly. BF4 on the X1 looks really bad (especially when compared to a mid-range PC).

Cross-gen constraints are holding back these games too. It just looks so dated.

I know I'll get crucified for saying this but, in person it actually looks really good on X1...and you'd never guess that it's 720p. Esp when you're walking around the streets at night and such and the sidewalk is glistening with water, etc.

I was actually impressed with how great the game looks....I used the 5 day trial, but honestly I think today when I go in, I'll cancel my pre-order, the game just doesn't do it for me, and I'll probably just use that time to catch up on games I'm still working on and playing FF Type-0.

angelsx4076d ago

They should build new engin for the new consoles.Till then all games will look and run like that

AngelicIceDiamond4076d ago

@Septic I'm not really seeing much of a difference here. The differences are present, but they're minimal.

Either X1 or PS4 aren't particularly shining here only PC.

As usual.

I just find it funny VG said they'll make another one if this one is a hit.

Lol so SUDDENLY they make FPS games. Stop whispering in their ear EA smh...

nX4076d ago

This seems to be the most lazy developed game of the past few years. Low resolution, weak AA, copy-paste gameplay and of course an overpriced premium membership. Please don't support this kind of crap guys.

pivotplease4076d ago

Saw the complete version of this going for $120. Shat my pants. More like I'll pay 30 and we'll call it a BF4 expansion.

A chimpanzee could make a better visual analysis than gamingbolt.

Christopher4076d ago

GamingBolt needs to stop using whatever it is they're using to record from the PS4. It always looks really washed out and never looks like what I experience on my PS4.

Having said that, not too much difference can be detected based on how they capture these items.

ziggurcat4075d ago

i've said his repeatedly on this website - they've likely got the PS4's RGB mode set to limited. limited is the setting you *should* be using when you have your PS4 hooked up to a regular TV. and when you have it set to something that's supposed to be used on a regular TV, and output the same feed to a computer monitor (which uses a full RGB range), it's going to look "washed out."

what they *should* be doing is setting their PS4 to full RGB mode, and capturing the footage that way since the final output device (i.e. your computer screen... because everyone's going to be watching it on their computer via the internet) will have the same RGB range as the captured footage.

TheXgamerLive4076d ago (Edited 4076d ago )

I've got to say near identical but giving the edge to the Xbox One version due to better lighting, but agreed with everyone it's def not what I'd call a current gen 2015 game.
Fun to play yes but it's nothing special imo .....yet.
Let's see how it's supported by Visceral.
I'd rather see a locked 30fps vs 42fps to 60fps.

Currently still playing DR3 and loving DL.
Waiting to play The Witcher 3 and Halo 5.
Wishing for some FallOut 4 news,

Meh, I'm not playing them side by side at the same time. Probably not playing this one at all.

Gilgamesh154076d ago

This analysis is pointless, of course 900p will look better than 720p.

Mr-Zex4076d ago (Edited 4076d ago )

Common sense?! No way, I must disagree due to my personal preference of console! /s

But seriously, your statement is obvious yet some people don't want to accept it.

GMR_PR4076d ago

"This analysis is pointless, of course 900p will look better than 720p"

Correction, not better but sharper.

MysticStrummer4076d ago

Sharper isn't better when everything else is the same? That's an interesting slant.

RealityModeler4076d ago

People are reporting that XBox One looks better.

http://wccftech.com/battlef...

Though the first screenshot they show with the revolver does look better on PS4. It is still debatable though not clearly better on PS4 at 900P the way some people seem to assume. It will be interesting if Eurogamer thinks it looks better on XBox One, especially with people thinking resolution is everything... while not noticing the Anisotropic Filtering problems with the PS4 as show here:

This was one of my harder platinums to get, mainly because the game was the beginning of the Battlefield decline, this game was horrible.

Yi-Long556d ago

DLC for shooters generally splits the player-base between ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’, and it often means that servers became less populated and as a result, many dropped the game completely once that happened …

myDorazio556d ago

Yeah, kind of ironic isn't it. If they had released it a year later with the DLC part of the base experience, it would have gotten a bigger audience.

Hardline at least tried to mix things up for the first time in a while. This was pretty much the nail in the coffin for Visceral though.

MDTunkown561d ago

The map were to small for a lot of ideas, riding around two streets was stupid

Cacabunga561d ago

Yet another great decision made by EA. They really know what they’re doing

just_looken561d ago (Edited 561d ago )

The vip mode was a great idea but the whole game had that need more time in the oven feeling. My only big issue with hardline as a whole was the smgs.

But vip plus c4 classic

GAMERJET562d ago

Hardline was my favorite Battlefield.

Demetrius562d ago

Hardline was fun af, nice size areas to get around in. Got a good 10 hours out of it because I took my time much as I can. Sucha good story and atmosphere

RavenWolfx561d ago

I didn't even know this was something that had been requested. A new Bad Company, oh hell yeah. Hardline? Not so much.

HyperMoused561d ago

Hardline was great for what it was and it had the best MP mode with the moving hardpoints, if you havnt played it the hard points to capture were vehicles, with points earned for how long you are in one, so its this huge mash up of ground warfare and taking out vehicles and getting in one and tearing ass trying not to get blown up...was awesome.
