Weird aspect ratio... But yeah, game looks great, but it did on the One too. I'm sure it should run much better in a decent PC, which is the most important part. Wish I had waited but Ohh well, it's a good game. Will double dip when it's cheap.
Not really just better resolution and maybe higher detail
At end of the day there's no need for this discussion since everything is a variable on Pc so some people will make it look like a game a generation away while other will make it look like a n64 game.
Is this area zoomed in or is that the close-up LOD on the XBO?
Honestly, resolution and framerate upgrades are pretty great on their own.

Blown out highlights != better lighting.
Aside from differences there are no differences.
Okay.
I guess according to you any multiplat on beefier PC hardware is the same as consoles.
Ok put words into my post why not
All I was saying was that those specific screenshots look very similar to the Xbox one version.
Well whatever floats your boat. I think this is a very substantial upgrade, and so will the PC version even without heavy downsampling.
There will be enough improvements to create a gap.

Maybe higher detail? lol. Stop looking at the pictures on a flip phone and check out the gif posted on this very page.

There is no zoom. It's comparing screenshot to screenshot.

Yes you're right it's a upgrade
impressive port
Oh, damn. The LOD differences are quite massive. Weird, since the screenshots looked pretty good in the console screenshot thread.
But the PC version is also at 4K, right? That helps quite a bit with the detail at a distance.
I'm pretty sure that was a pre release screenshot of the Xbox One version so it may not be indicative oh how it actually looks. I saw that same screen months before the game released. Someone should take a screen of that location in game.
Wow, I was expecting a reasonable improvement but that is pretty fuckin' massive (unless the XBO shot is a pre-release screenshot and not representative of the final game, of course).

Xbox One screenshot that i used for this comparison is not from the final build of the game, and same for the PC i guess. But they are both official, published by SE.
PC is downsampled from 4K, and Xbox One is untouched.
If feel like LOD is where the gap between the consoles and the PC are the biggest atm.
You'll find few games where the difference between PC and console LOD isn't big.

Yummy!
Exactly, that would help with LOD differences.
Can someone with the XBO copy take a screenshot of that area now?
You got that wrong I think. It helps with textures, not model complexity.
Whichever you slice it the PC version will look much better if you crank up the settings.
I don't think anyone will be in a position to downplay that fact.
I'll try and hack in free camera and timestop for myself though
For yourself?! Jim plz
Crystal Dynamics don't care to know or it's a long hard fix in the works.....
Everything should go through Nixxies before launch.

Why not. You have a decent setup
What?
More pixels = objects at a distance are clearer and more defined, they are literally made up of more pixels.
Are you saying that setting it to 480p wouldn't destroy the LOD?

It's likely that some PC enhancements will be used on the PS4 sku, but if the game scales high I don't think it's possible for the PS4 version to integrate all the bells and whistles.
Remember there is only about 50% power difference between the xbone and the PS4. It is very common for visual upgrades to have a 20-25% hit.
It would not less us appreciate the LOD gap but the model themselves would be identical, just like MGS 5 showed significant LOD advantages of PC even at 1080p.
I'm sorry but your attempt at damage controlling the PC advantages with the 4K does not work. Even at 1080p the draw distance will be higher, confirmed by some SE guy on IGN.

I saw what you did there.
I have no idea how the rules work here so I played it safe lol
Having said that, it would be nice to think SE may try to bring this version to the PS4. Is that considered port begging?

Yeah, it's awesome to see the assets themselves are up to snuff. In two or three years it'll be sweet to play this game at ultra 4k or whatever. Reviving old games with new PC tech is one of the things I like most about PC gaming.
The DF Face Off thread will be glorious.
But the attemps at downplaying the PC version are not surprising at all, especially from xbone owners who got the very short end of the stick when it comes to multiplatform releases.
