The open beta testing for Star Wars: Battlefront will begin in a couple of hours, and YouTube’s ‘Candyland’ has released a video showing the graphical differences between the PC and the PS4 versions. As you’d expect, the PC version packs higher quality effects and textures than the PS4 version. Enjoy the video comparison after the jump!

There isnt any point in these videos anymore. This gen is a joke.
Consoles will never be as powerful as Ultra PCs, but that’s a well stated fact. it doesn’t mean though that they don’t have their usefulness for a certain demographic.
However I wouldn’t never switch my pc for any console. PC has many more benefits to consider and take advantage from.
see no one was talking about ultra pcs a budget pc surpasses the ps4 version let alone the xbone.
well, the video is PC Ultra vs… a budget pc wouldn’t run most demanding games in Ultra 60fps.
My PC isn’t too good and runs Battlefront without problems.
Preaching to the pope son.
They are practically giving away consoles with minimal profit margins and people are still not buying them like they did in previous gens. Jokes aside I think console gaming is actually dying while PC and Mobile gaming is growing exponentially. I blame inflated prices of games on consoles more than anything else.
Developing games gets more and more expensive but they are still about the same price as over 5 years ago. That’s where DLC and micro transactions come in.
Development cost for games haven’t increased a whole lot since 2005 when the Xbox 360 came out. But what has increased is the revenue since then, it’s tripled since then.
The cost that has increased over the years, is the ridicules marketing budget publishers toss behind their games, the development cost cheap until you toss that sh*t in.
Shame that consoles got so ingrained in gaming culture in US and Japan (and no wonder, consoles were the best platform for gaming then) that people fail to see how they slow down whole gaming industry. Example from this game: we can’t have big epic fights 32 versus 32 players because of “next-gen” limitations…
japan is almost done with consoles, ps4 sells worse than the dreamcast and i dont need to talk about the wiiu.
Yeah, state of affairs has changed recently. But did Japanese people switch to PC or rather mobile games?
mobile mostly. But more and more japanesse games come to pc.
It’s sad that console gaming is almost dead. Those things that made it relevant as a secondary gaming platform are gone. Not even the AAA exclusive titles can get me excited while most are just big budget trash or HD remasters…
Man, the old consoles had a point.
First you got the hole idea of a console, which crashes the market with crappy games and japan saved it.
Then you got multiple colors and decent sound.
Then you got 3d.
Then you vastly superior graphics and online
Then you got more of the same with better online and graphics but simplier shorter easier games with less innovation.
What you got now are cheap consoles which try to mimic pc without any big killer games. People are losing interest in more of the same and devs wont be able to make a game that will shake things up, it is impossible, too much time too much money they have to play it safe as well, nearly every game on the market plays the same way as 2-3 other games.
I know people are HUD DUR UNCHARTED 4 but its just a generic cover based cinematic shooter we played before, its not bad, but we played it again and again and again, people just rally behind the hype rather the gameplay.
Long story short there isnt any reason to buy a console if you got a pc, infact i havent even played the biggest releases, gta v, mgs v, batman arkham knight, witcher 3, havent played either of them, i am fine with wolfenstein old blood for 16$ and i dont care about fallout 4, it will be buggy on realease i got new vegas dlcs and mods to finish.
The industry is not competing on consoles anymore, they cost the same, the games are the same and cost alot, i can just get cheaper games on pc, no need for upgrades either.
It is because console gamers are starting to realzie how much better games look and run on pc and that on pc you can do much more things than on a console. And sicne nowdays the only games that are not coming to pc is those that are developed by Microsoft Sony and Nitendo there is no reason to buy a console. When 9/10 games are multiplatform with a PC version then why get a a console? For Halo and Gears of War? For Uncharted? No. Paying so much money just for the 1 or 2 console only games that come evry year is not worth it.
you think.. BADLY.
a cod game will sell 25-30 million units on consoles, and only 300-500k on pc.
you guys talk like EVERYBODY in this fking world was playing with a 5000$ pc, when, according to steam, etc, less than 2.5-3% of gamers are playing with ultra settings.
and that doesn’t mean 4k at ultra: most are just people playing on a 24″ full hd monitor, with ultra settings.
do you realize that these pc gamers who will be playing this game at 4k60fps at ultra settings, their pro keyboard+ mouse alone are almost as expensive as a ps4 ?
please, once and for all, stop thinking that pc gaming in the world = huge computer+ monitor at 3-4000$
only 2 guys out of 100 pc gamers play at ultra. the remaining 98% are playing at high-very high settings, at 1080p. and you know what ? most ps4 games look almost 100% as good as a pc game at 1080p + very high settings… but il only costs 300-350 bucks.
a friend of mine bought his ps4, in geneva, 2 weeks ago, at 280$, during a special week-end. and in europe, prices are all under 350$.
oh yeah,
*there are 100 million pc gamers in the world, the pc gaming is really dominating and growing”
yeah, let’s just remove the 99.5 million candy crush/facebook/tetris/ageof(put crap name here) games, and surprise, there are only less than 1 million gamers actually GAMING and playing the same AAA as on consoles.
sure, many will claim “ohh, the pc gaming is growing and growing, while the consoles are dying
sure, that’s why developers choose to make their games on consoles first.
sketchy stats are sketchy…
sketchy? more like nonexistant bs that he pulled out of his a**e.
LOL, the first thing that say nobody should not take seriously is your Nick, the second is when you say “ONE COD GAME” sold 25 million of copies, the third one is “most ps4 games look almost 100% as good as a pc game at 1080p + very high settings” WHAT, the only game that could look better on PS4 is PES 2016, and everybody know why. LOL this butthurt kid, you are good trying to fool yourself but dont try to fool others, play on your stupid box and GTFO, dont forget to pay your monthly PSN plus bill.
The way you feel the need to attack, trash my nickname, etc, makes you look like that insecure vi**in.
I have bought 24 months of ps+, because I CAN. And I love.
now, boy, go watch your torrent queue, the 4 mkv p*rn movies you started downloading yesterday must be completed. Go watch a bit how adults do their stuff… between your PC gaming sessions.
Why the f’ you on a pc gaming site?
he may think badly but you think wrongly.
300-500K?
From where you got that vghcarts? that doesnt take into acount the digital pc sales and 30 million? come on get over yourself that is gta v levels
WHAT 5000$ pcs idiot? a freaking 400$ pc provides superior graphics than the console and according to steam there are more pcs that run games 1080p than they are sold next gen consoles.
Also ultra settings? CONSOLES? Nope, med high is more like it.
“do you realize that these pc gamers who will be playing this game at 4k60fps at ultra settings, their pro keyboard+ mouse alone are almost as expensive as a ps4 ?”
In a argument about pc being cheaper you bring high end super expensive hardware that are unessasry, wtf you talking about?
“please, once and for all, stop thinking that pc gaming in the world = huge computer+ monitor at 3-4000$”
Projection, no one thinks that apart from clueless peasants like you.
“only 2 guys out of 100 pc gamers play at ultra.”
Far more but ultra of what? Ultra of minecraft or the most advanced graphically game which runs at med high on consoles?
You do reallize pcs are UPGRADABLE so if people dont play on ultra now they will in the future, meanwhile consoles are stuck on whatever they are running them and your numbers are not taking into acount that there are more pcs than can play games on whatever settings than there are sold next gen consoles.
So you are not comparing 2 in 100 in 20 million but 2 in 100 in over 100 million.
” the remaining 98% are playing at high-very high settings”
Better than ps4 then? BFS run at high settings on ps4 with 900p, shadow of mordor on med high, dyling light on high with under the lowest settings draw distance, i could go on but you get the point.
” most ps4 games look almost 100% as good as a pc game at 1080p + very high settings… but il only costs 300-350 bucks.”
400 dont cheat and a pc can deliver the same results with cheper game prices and no online fees, plus there is no such thng as “almost 100% as good”
It is either 100% or inferior, you peasnats whine that x360 had slightly inferior graphics than ps3 on gta v. But when it is pc, the superior resolution, graphics framerate are “almost 100% identical” to the consoles.
Really?
“a friend of mine bought his ps4, in geneva, 2 weeks ago, at 280$, during a special week-end. and in europe, prices are all under 350$.”
No they are not, but then again if you live in a poor country the first type of hardware that gets cheaper is pc hardware since consoles have fixed prices thanks to the sales model well known as “399.99$”
In a country that mnimum wage is 300$ OBVIOUSLY the ps4 will not cost full price.
“yeah, let’s just remove the 99.5 million candy crush/facebook/tetris/ageof(put crap name here) games, and surprise,”
Lets because steam has over 125 million ACTIVE users what he is reffering is intel who talked about 711 million pc gamers.
So there you go steam recently sold more than 70 million games in september.
“, there are only less than 1 million gamers actually GAMING and playing the same AAA as on consoles.”
???? based on what? Because whatever you pulled out of your arse is not maths, it is random made up numbers that are opposed to reallity gta v for example has sold over 3 million just on steam, not counting rockstar club and retail copies.
Also when you say “the same aaa as on consoles” which games you reffer exactly? the new fifa? the new cod? the new creed?
“sure, that’s why developers choose to make their games on consoles first.”
Pc has more exlusives than all consoles combined, consoles provide high day one sales thanks to hype advertizement and the fact that most of the time, games just work, i say most of the time because looking at driveclub and masterchief collection, that one is becoming a “maybe” To which i reply if you have to pay for mp and the game is not trusted to work properly, might as well go with pc gaming.
Game development is expensive nowadays but it is very easy to develop for mutiple systems compared to the past which is why you see every game on all 3 major systems. They are all x86. Japan is abandoning consoles and switching to mobile and pcs, nearly every japanesse game pops up on steam every other day.
The worst selling CoD game on PC is advanced Warfare, with 975.000 copies. PC lost faith in CoD along time ago. With junk shitty ports and bad gameplay. Black Ops 2, which was the last half decent CoD game sold somewhere in the 2.6 million range on PC. If we look back when PC players had faith in CoD, but also it’s falling point, was CoD:MW2, with 4.7 million units sold on Steam, but that was also where match making come in, and players went: Fuck this, and the sales for the next game, Black Ops, lost 1 million sales, and it went downhill from there. All this info is available on Steamspy.com So it’s not opinions, it’s facts.
For 2 of 100 people on PC playing on Ultra, I think you must be high. Just go to Steam Stats and look at the hardware percentages.
3.5% have the 970 GPU. Those will play on Ultra.
0.84% is using a 980 GPU.
1.54% is using a 770.
0.37% is using a 780Ti.
0.66% is using a 780.
1.57% is using a 960.
1.03% is using the R9200 series of cards,
1.84% is using the Radeon HD 7900 Series
We’re at a minimum of 10 out of 100 people using ultra settings, of course, some of these weaker cards will also run the games at Ultra 30 fps, like most of the better looking games on consoles. So we can toss those in there as well, and we’re probably at 50% able to run at Ultra, however, on PC we don’t really like 30 so good, so most would lower the settings for double the framerate. About 3% of the Steam market is also running at a higher then 1080p resolution, so that’s 3 in 100 guys.
And Candy Crush Saga isn’t on Steam, yet Steam have 125 million accounts. That means activity in the last 30 days. 9 million concurrent users.
If you really want to include the candy crush sage stuff and whatever, you’re looking at a 710 million “gamers”. Not sure where you got your 100 million number from. PC gaming is growing, it’s a fact, and no matter how rabid you are, you only look like an idiot denying it.
“people are still not buying them like they did in previous gens.” – this is not true.
“We have sold a ton of Xbox Ones globally, more than we have sold 360s [in the same period],” said Mr. Spencer in an interview with the Edge Magazine, reports GamesRadar.
I bet PS4 also crushing PS3.
And a US specific data: “According to NPD Group, 21 months after launch, PS4 and Xbox One sales are “close to” 50% ahead of where PS3 and Xbox 360 sales were at the same time in their lifespan.”
Console market are here and healthy, just like the mobile and PC market.
It is because console gamers are starting to realzie how much better
games look and run on pc and that on pc you can do much more things than
on a console. And sicne nowdays the only games that are not coming to
pc is those that are developed by Microsoft Sony and Nitendo there is no
reason to buy a console. When 9/10 games are multiplatform with a PC
version then why get a a console? For Halo and Gears of War? For
Uncharted? No. Paying so much money just for the 1 or 2 console only
games that come evry year is not worth it. Not at all.
These Youtube PC vs Console comparisons are a joke. You can’t make a comparison like this through a super compressed low quality Youtube video. Both versions are going to end up looking nearly the same.
The only way to truly experience the PC version, is through uncompressed native resolution gameplay in person. You’ll never get that on Youtube.
I think we can clearly see the 900p blurriness on the PS4 version and the 1080p+ crispness on the PC version. Also PC version clearly has better overall lighting and draw distance. People who have a little bit of sense will realize that it will look even better than the videos both on PC as well as consoles.
Definite difference here so the videos do work sometimes. It’s like they’ve smeared the PS4 screen with Vaseline.
It’s still way less of a difference compared to proper screenshot comparisons without ridiculous compression etc. Video footage in general is a bad way to compare.
Still I can see the difference, but you right.
http://i.imgur.com/B919rHp.png
Theres no difference ” peasants say ”
I bet if you took the vaseline off the ps4 side it would look identical.
ps4 low version
Poor consoles.. yet another game that doesnt look as good as good as our version. I can’t wait for all the comments from the console guys..
“BUT IT LOOKS THE SAME!”
“The imagine is just slighty worse”
“Human eyes cant see 60 fps OR above… ” (lol btw)
Well some guy already say it looks the same, his nick is “Kratos” so you cannot expect a smart life form there,
dude he said its 100% or so identical.
You can argue with such logic.
Also out of 100 million pc gamers only 1 million apparently buys AAA games.
Also dont forget that you need 50000$ pcs to run games maxed out and the rest run very high or high which is apparently not superior than the consoles.
They look fairly similar, however, it runs like a dream on PC, means higher refresh rate is actually a point in this game. Even if all games don’t look miles better then a console version, don’t mean it won’t look a lot better on your monitor due to much smoother gameplay.
“Human eyes can’t see 23.976 fps and above”
Hah, i sure love that one -.-
At ultra & at 1080p 5GB of system of ram was used running the beta.
(If you minus 1.5GB used by the OS in reality the game used only 3.5GB)
So much for the 16gig nonsense
Check out the last seconds of the video, while he is shoothing that hut, in PC the burning effects of the laser remains, while on PS4 dissapears almost instantly. Still thats the kind of details console gamers doesnt care about, they just want to press X to shoot.
They want to look around like robots with those inconvenient (for this purpose) analog sticks.
GTX 680 2GB MAXED OUT WITH TAA (much better than the blurry FXAA)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AKiMHzwYPA&feature=youtu.be
enjoy a game that its made for PC
in-game menu’s AntiAliasing is broken. stays at FXAA regardless of setting.
you must edit ..DocumentsSTAR WARS Battlefront BetasettingsProfileOptions_profile.
and set the desired AA value (0-4) for GstRender.Antialiasing. set 4 for actual Temporal AA !
the game’s menu saves to GstRender.AntiAliasingPost but work with GstRender.Antialiasing.
thank me later 🙂
First off, i don’t own any consoles, but this talk about console gaming dying is absolute rubbish and baseless, almost like the Console people who were saying the same thing about PC gaming not long ago. This latest generation of consoles has already far surpassed the sales of last gen consoles at the same point in the life cycle. While both consoles are under powered compared to what most us PC enthusiasts have, they are £300-£400 and run all the games released for it without need to optimize. To alot of people, thats enough of a selling point. Not for me, but for many. The last article i found in June stated 25 million PS4s had been sold and 14.32 million Xbones.
As i said, im no console fan, but i hate misinformation. Consoles are going nowhere anytime soon. Neither is PC gaming. If anything, with the likes of SteamOS and digital downloads on consoles slowly becoming accepted, I can see the consoles moving more towards something in the middle.
Not quite aware of the shithole PC was sinking down into for 15 years hu?
I can see a difference but I wouldn’t call it life changing. it looks good on all platforms.
I just have to ask, how the hell do you manage to play with that god awefull FOV?
its 90 FOV i don’t need more
they added the same thing in BF4
”Development cost for games haven’t increased a whole lot since 2005”
I find that hard to believe, it depends on the game but overall many games are on a whole new level. Games get bigger with more very detailed stuff, a lot of high level voice acting etc… But they cost the same?
Marketing budgets are getting ridiculous but it’s really hard to say what the budget was and how much of it was marketing because those things are rarely revealed. Witcher 2 cost 10 million and witcher 3 cost 80 million, do they both contain marketing? Even if so then what part of them? That increase wasn’t just because of new gen. Soo…. it’s really impossible to say anything without proper insider info and research of many projects.
