Star Wars Battlefront – PS4 vs. Xbox One Graphics Comparison

Star Wars Battlefront – PS4 vs. Xbox One Graphics Comparison. The PS4 version renders at a native 900p while the Xbox renders at a lower 720p which makes quite a difference resulting in the Xbox One version look a bit blurry around the edges.

There no competition. Easy win for the ps4 . Nothing new on 3rd party

Relientk773874d ago

Wow it clearly looks better on PS4

SpaceRanger3873d ago

The realistic lighting with the PS4 is the biggest difference. You can see it in the Drop Zone loading screen and the Hoth battle scene hold (look at the storm troopers arm).

It's 2015 and 720p is still happening though? The up scaling causes that blurry visual that another article mentioned the other day.

It's not that it looks bad. But if I'm paying $60, I want the best quality I can get on consoles. I'd be ticked if I was paying the same price for a lesser quality visual wise. I mean, c'mon...that's one of the reason no one would buy 3rd party games on the Wii U right?

@SpaceRanger

This is from Digital Foundry.

"We're left with a similar state of affairs to Battlefield 4, but there are some positives. If you can look past Xbox One's lower resolution, the actual content of the game is identical to PS4, and a decent match for PC's high graphics settings. It means texture and shadow quality are the same between both consoles, as is the use of tessellated geometry across the floor, giving textures a 3D 'pop' effect. The Battlefront beta's three included maps give us some of the best-realised Star Wars locales in videogame form, and both consoles get the goods in this sense. Draw distances are like-for-like too, resulting in similar levels of pop-in as we sweep across the map."

It's most likely just the lower resolution doing that.

SuperLupe3873d ago

Reading your comment I thought the differance was huge. Watched the video and geez ...

Seriously a big fuss for nothing.

Mr Pumblechook3873d ago

@Vegamyster Thumbs up to Digital Foundry who even when there is a significant resolution disparity they find a way to put a positive spin so that they don't alienate their preferred Xbox One readers.

nix3873d ago

if it was PS3/360 days.. they would have zoomed into the blade of grass and found out that PS3 games are inferior.

WowSoChill3873d ago

I thought Xbox One version was a blurry mess though? they both look pretty good to me lmao

APexGamer453873d ago

DIgital Foundry also noted performance gap where X1 version is dipping or suffering performance more frequently.

It seems like gap is not reduced and it even seem to be increasing.

tinynuggins3873d ago

I'm sure there's a slight difference but it's not visible on this video. I'd like to see one in 1080p.

BattleAxe3873d ago

You people are imagining things, there's hardly any difference at all.

Kyizen3873d ago

@SuperLupe watch it on 1080p 60 inch TV. You can see it. If someone says here are two things but both are $60 but this one is a little worse, but you gotta pay the same price which are you going get?

Game4Next3873d ago

1080p SONY TV, 900p PS4 Game.

NewMonday3873d ago

watching on my 60' TV the low quality image on X1 is jarring, the console simply cant handle this scale of game without making big compromises on graphics quality.

kudus for DICE for not holding back for "parity" and doing the best possible job on the PS4.

Unspoken3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

If you are awe struck and amazed at the difference between 720p->900p then you will be floored seeing the difference between 900p-1080p...or wait until you see 900p->2160p. Your head will explode.

Luckily there is barely any difference between the versions so playing on XO is fine.

If anyone at all is hard pressed on graphic resolutions and they decide to fine comb through a game's visual fidelity, that person will NEVER buy it on console.

"The PC version renders at a native 1080p while the PS4 renders at a lower 900p which makes quite a difference resulting in the PS4 version look[ing] a bit blurry around the edges."

Fixed.

someOnecalled3873d ago

Bookmark this page fellow gamers. This is how they do they see every little difference when it favors PS but when it comes to other platforms that got it beat its " you can barely see the difference, who cares, I don't like those games, PS exclusives are better you can't play them" gotta love this site.

PS fanboy logic at its finest. You would think they would condemn this game to hell because its below 1080p. I guess not because at least it's better than xbone. I wonder if both was 900pp, it maybe would of turned out like unity and how much they don't want it no more

dantesparda3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

The difference in res is much, much bigger than this video lets on, I have both and on a 40" screen it is very easy to tell the difference. The X1 version looks a lot fuzzier and blurrier. It's obvious from the first moment you see it.

@someonecalled

What bs fanboy sh't are you on. Why would Sony fanboys get mad at it being 900p on the PS4 when all the FB3 games that run at 60fps have been 900p since the beginning? Are you ok? Or is that way to hard for you to understand? If a game can run at 1080p on the PS4 but only 900p on the X1, then there is a problem, why would you want the lower res? But if a game cant hit 1080p on PS4, then it cant hit it. Some of you fanboys just cant understand the simpliest things.

@unspoken

"The PC version renders at a native 1080p while the X1 renders at a much lower 720p which makes quite a difference resulting in the X1 version look[ing] a lot blurrier and rough around the edges."

There fixed it for you.

UncleJerry3873d ago

I agree, this is one of the few games where I don't even need a side by side to really see the diff. I have the beta on each console now and there's just no question. I think it is only fair to say that the game still looks great on either console and I am happy to see that all of the other effects etc. are on par. The fuzzier slightly washed out look of the x1 version is apparent.

That being said, it looks good enough on the x1 where I don't find myself constantly thinking "wow this sucks, I wish i was playing the ps4 version"...thankfully because (and this is just my own preference) I really prefer to use the x1, especially for online gaming.

Good job here by DICE overall, but I wish they could have optimized their engine a bit better by this point for the x1. I know they can't magically make x1 more powerful tho and it doesn't exactly look ugly on that console by any standard.

fermcr3873d ago

Yep, PS4 version looks better.

gfk3423873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

And the PS4 version ALSO runs better, having less frame rate drops.

Another game where the PS4 has better looks AND better performance.

To this list we can now add Witches 3, as with the patch 1.10 the PS4 version is the best version between the consoles. All the fps issues were solved (check the link).

^^LMFAO!!!!!

You were dying to drop that one werent you...... lol In the end its the same game so whocares!

user99502793873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

i've been playing them both and the ps4 version looks a lot better. I think this is one of those cases where its worth it to go ps4. I immediately noticed a lot more pop in and the image is a lot softer on x1. Though after 10 hrs of XP gain on x1 not sure what ill buy.

TheGrimReaper3873d ago

No brainer in your case, as you've stated that you think it is worth to go ps4.

"Though after 10 hrs of XP gain on x1 not sure what ill buy" ->
GAMEPLAY PROGRESS, ACHIEVEMENTS, CHARACTERS, CHARACTER DATA AND/OR ANY OTHER VALUE OR STATUS INDICATORS ACHIEVED THROUGH GAMEPLAY IN THE BETA WILL NOT TRANSFER TO STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT MAIN GAME OR STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT COMPANION
(sry for caps, I've just copied the passage from EAs website.)

lvl_headed_gmr3873d ago

Digital Foundry adjusted the colour settings. I have both and the PS4 has its typical washed out pallet while the Xbox One looks more radiant in colour.

Shame on DF tampering with the settings.

Nothing new on 3rd party here. As with almost all multiplattgames, they look almost identical. Minor differences, only noticable when doing picture by picture analysis. Nothing gameplay breaking.

Yeah easy win. A night and day difference lol.

Comparisons are a waste of time and energy these days with how close the visuals are

They look the same

MasterCornholio3874d ago

Actually the PS4 version looks sharper than the XB1 version so the comparison isn't a waste.

Gamers have the right to know the differences between the version. This is especially important for multi console owners.

johndoe112113873d ago

Nope you're wrong. Apparently gamers only had a right to know last gen when all the multiplat games looked better on the 360. Back then we got 10 articles a week comparing every multiplat and showing the massive disparity between the grass and clouds. It was important for gamers back then to choose the 360 because of the better quality multiplats. This gen, it really shouldn't matter as games look better on the ps4, you know, it's about the games right?

DLConspiracy3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

" Gamers have the right to know the differences between the version. This is especially important for multi console owners."

Gamers do have the right to know and they should have included PC on here as well because gamers do have the right to know. The only problem is that multi platform/console owners already know the difference. The only ones that seem to care are those gamers who are using it to shoot ammo at the other side.

I played the game on PS4, XB1 and PC. When you do so you will notice how close the consoles look when compared to PC.

81BX3873d ago

I agree the difference is small but it does matter to those who own multiple consoles. For me its xb1 but i like xbl over psn. Someone else may prefer psn and the lighting may make a huge difference for them... so yes this is relevant. Everyone has their likes and dislikes.

scientificreasoning3873d ago

Denial is a hell of a thing....Comparisons are never useless games are a visual medium.

sammarshall1023873d ago

The only people in denial are the people that think there's anything significant here

triple_c3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

@sammarshall102

Anyone with normal functioning eyes should be able to see the difference unless of course.. you're looking at things with fanboy goggles on. There is definitely a difference and a noticeable one at that. The difference is most notable when you go to sections 0:42 - 0:46, 0:55 - 0:59 and 1:31 - 1:38. You'll notice that the rocks and textures look much more crisper and clearer on the PS4 version. Honestly.. the detail on the rocks and textures look pretty blurry on the Xbox One version compared to the PS4 version.

These comparisons are only a waste of time because your console of choice is losing them.

sammarshall1023873d ago

No I just don't exaggerate the tiniest differences in games like some people do

TheUndertaker853873d ago

Yet you note there are differences, minor or not between the two but proceed to insinuate they're the same product.

Funny thing is yes, they're both getting the same product. Only PS4 will look and function better.

str8duval3872d ago

Lol most normal people won't see ANY difference. Especially from a compressed you tube video.

PreAtaric3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

Try watching the video at 1080p. The difference is obvious.

Edit : Just watched again at 720p. The difference is still obvious.

PFFT3873d ago

But does it really matter??? NOPE! Not in the slightest since the game is the same on all platforms. Besides the Resolution not one is different than the other gameplay-wise. So who cares.

Spotie3873d ago

They don't look the same.

The End.

No matter how much you want to deny that truth, it is STILL the truth. Too many people see it too easily for you to try and twist your fantasy into reality.

It's okay. The game will still be fun on your XB1. It just won't look as good.

You can handle that, right? No need to break down into childish cries of similarity, right? Just accept that, like most multiplats, the game looks better on PS4, and move on. If it's a little tough to accept, just keep repeating it.

They do not look the same. They do not look the same. They do not look the same. They do not look the same. They do not look the same.

Eventually, you'll come to grips with it.

sammarshall1023873d ago

The only one crying is you lol and sorry I believe what I see with my own two eyes and...

They look the same :)

DLConspiracy3873d ago

720p is more resolution than 900p. Fact of life, but people aren't saying it looks better on PS4 because of facts. They are saying it to make the Xbox seem like it isn't a valid place to play games. Which is why 90% of the people are saying it.

tmh35933873d ago

lmao sounds like youre the one crying over there. I tried to see a difference in this stupid video but the only thing i saw was a yellowish shade to the xone snow. Back to your bridge you go.

magiciandude3870d ago (Edited 3870d ago )

@Hicken

Dude, I am surprised you haven't thrown your laptop across the room with the amount of rage displayed in your comment. So what if someone says the game looks the same on both consoles? Why do you care? They look nearly identical to me and I've watched the video in 1080p on my TV. I don't see a difference.

maniacmayhem3870d ago

They do look the same.

How about you tell us the differences in all your infinite wisdom Hicken. Exactly what is the difference, explain it to us instead of constantly trolling.

I see that 900p is now an acceptable resolution. That now games in 900p can look just as good as 1080p. Further proof of the hypocrisy you and others constantly show whenever your godly console doesn't live up to the extreme hype you set it up as.

As usual though everyone looks at numbers and waits to be told which one is better and you sitting patiently and others are only concerned that your console has a higher res than the competition.

Now please explain to us how the rocks don't have as much dirt on them than the PS4 counterpart, I'm sure that will wreck havok on gameplay right Spotie/Hicken.

i agree with you 100% i could see if one console had more polygons than the other, then yeah.... you just might have a problem. but there is not issue of the sort. this console gen is bogus. not because of the hardware or the games, but because of the people that push nonsense propaganda.

ClayRules20123874d ago (Edited 3874d ago )

Gamers on PS4/Xbox One are in for a visual treat, so that's wonderful. Having said that, I personally think the PS4 version looks better.

Playing the beta yesterday was a real blast. I'm not big into MP games, but with this game, I really felt like I was in a huge battle. Explosions look amazingly beautiful & animations are really smooth/fluid.

Seeing Darth Vader & Luke Skywalker fighter right in front of me was a sight to behold. Btw, Luke won. I failed at protecting you, Master Vader =(

DigitalRaptor3874d ago (Edited 3874d ago )

Wow, yes. That's an easy win for PS4.

720p is a last-gen resolution. There's definitely sharper textures on PS4, image quality is crisper, and draw distance more noticeable in the PS4 version. Stunning game all round though.

LifeInNZ3873d ago

To be honest, anything less than 1080p and a rock steady 60fps should be considered last gen. However, these consoles are what they are and we will all just have to wait till next gen I suppose.

Kingdomcome2473873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

Dice's games this generation have been pretty much the only games that I'm able to legitimately tell a difference between the two straightaway. The PlayStation versions of Battlefield/Battlefront just look crisper, and more refined. Most of the time I really can't tell much of a difference if any, but I have the Beta on both platforms, and for me I noticed the difference right away on dropzone looking at the rocky terrain. It still looks pretty good on both, though.

UltraNova3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

"720p is a last-gen resolution."

Yes but to be honest here 900p is not so current gen either or at least shouldn't be...

I'm disappointed in both Sony and MS for releasing such relatively week consoles regardless if they wanted to release cheaper units.

I would be more than happy to pay 500-600 dollars for a system capable of pushing 1080p 60fps at Ultra high settings and not left wanting a new system after just 2 years.

That being said not all things are bad. Graphics are ok and even 30fps locked is just fine. What bothers me is that we see devs downgrade instead of upgrading their outputs with every major release. That's the first time in any console gen that this happened.

I mean look at Uncharted 1 and the Last of us can anyone honestly expect that kind of a leap this gen?

Now as for the comparison at hand, yes ps4 is significantly sharper while textures and lighting are somewhat ahead (maybe not, the AA?)on the ps4 as well. (Watched on a 42inch top of the line LG smart tv at 1080p from 5 feet away)
