The PC demo of Final Fantasy XV has been already released and as you may have guessed, the first comparison screenshots between the PC and the console versions have surfaced. Resetera’s member ‘benzy‘ has shared the following comparison screenshots between the PC and the PS4 versions.
As we can see, the PS4 version lacks the higher quality textures that are featured in the PC version. Not only that, but there is no terrain tessellation at all, something that really surprised us. Anisotropic Filtering is almost not existent, and even the lighting and ambient occlusion effects are better in the PC version. Furthermore, and as you’d expect, the NVIDIA GameWorks effects are exclusive to the PC version. In the last comparison, we can also notice the increased LOD of the PC version.
Benzy did not reveal the PC specs of the computer that was used but it’s pretty obvious that it had a relatively old GPU (according to the MSI Afterburner that shows the GPU featuring only 2GB of VRAM) used an HD7850 and ran the game at max settings plus NVIDIA Turf effects and 175% internal resolution. For what is worth, it’s possible to get a locked 30fps experience at 1080p with all the bells and whistles enabled on a GTX980Ti. For constant 60fps, owners of such GPUs will have to remove all the NVIDIA GameWorks effects.
Enjoy the comparison screenshots (PS4 is on the left whereas PC is on the right).

PS4 looks better and feels smoother because of controller, PC version looks dark and nasty.
It’s smoother because it looks sh!t!
Would be like saying a VW Beetle is more fuel efficient than a Ferrari. 😉
I’ll still take the Ferrari.
Good thing I use a controller with my PC. First option you are given is adjustment to lighting.
good thing indeed, controller = smoother gameplay
If smoothness is all you care about.
If he just rubbed coco butter on his controller then his games will run 10x smoother.
The Witcher games started looking much better after they started being made for controllers. That’s more evidence for this.
Also note how Bloodborne runs much better than any PC game ever made, that’s because it was designed for controllers.
Controllers have 10 buttons and 2 sticks, while keyboards have thousands of keys, that’s right, you save on thousands of commands by using a controller. All the space developers have to use to program keyboard controls could instead be used to add more graphics and smoother gameplay, that’s why controller games are so much better, they don’t have to waste space for millions of keys.
agreed, keyboard and mouse have many buttons and cause games to stutter and drop frame rate
Getting a Tattoo with a heart that says “mom” = Stronger arms
Painting fire on your car = faster car
It’s simple physics
You can tell how the game feels from a screenshot ?
There’s a demo out.
??? Are you retarded ??
He’s a known troll, so yeah he’s retarded.
Well spoken 😀
He meant dark (vignette) and gritty, lol
I use a Project Scorpio edition Xbox One X controller on my PC to play the game on three 42″ HDTV screens in a Nvidia surround config @ 5760×1080, so yeah….
Also I have a PS4 controller that I could use instead since I have ds4windows installed.
The PC version is the Ultimate version of Final Fantasy XV by a long shot, nothing can compare to it and I have to say on my PC setup it is pretty insane!
FYI: you can adjust the lighting to match the PS4 if you really want to, so that is not a concern. I agree that the PS4 version looks nice but like I said the PC version = # 1 and is better for many reasons.
i use superior xbox controller as well, xbox for life.
Cool, to me as well the Xbox One controller is easily the best controller out of all of them.
They really need to make all of the XB1 controllers like the Project Scorpio edition for the front plate where the Xbox Icon(that glows white) is solid and part of the controller and makes no noise when the controller rumbles. Also the under neath pat of the pad has a mild sort of grip tape texture and is not smooth so that is really nice to grip. Basically near perfect, sucks they don’t sell them separately.

also mods
fuuuuuu you gave me cancer.
I am just glad FFXV is a huge step with better optimization and no frame pacing issues that was in the whole XIII series.
i member dat :d
Damn I would love to see your setup running the game, must look crazy nice!
Well, you can’t expect much from the Blur-station 4 or a Blur-box One. Outdated gaming hardware even when they were released.
It mostly boils down to better terrain detail/texture and better detail at long distance. I’m not that perceptive
The shots are an accurate representation of the whole demo, nice landscapes and nothing much more.
That’s some neat tessellation.
shouldn’t it be comparing with ps4 pro?
tomorrow
