    I am stunned that the PS3/360 versions look as good as they do. If they can hit that as well as a rock solid 30fps it may be a good version to buy if you don't have a PS4.

    Wow, this 1080/720 thing is really happening a lot more then I would have hoped. Well maybe hoped is not the right word since I'll be buying majority of my games on PS4 regardless, as I did back on PS3. But still sucks seeing the massive resolution hit on the X1.

    So basically it's a choice between better graphical performance on the PS4 and the Raiden mission on Xbox One. I'll have to hold off on making a decision until I see the two versions in motion and know a little more about the exclusive DLC.

    It is a bonus mission. The Xbox One gets a Raiden one and the Playstation one get a nastalgia MGS one.

    I don't mean to complain, but this should really be in the Ground Zeroes forum.

    Either way, nice to see 1080P/60FPS confirmed for the PS4 version! Also, nice to see that the last gen versions still look really good for last gen games, even if they are sub-720P.

    I am pretty sure it goes for both versions. The engine is done and ready to go. The rest now is building the whole game.

    But if a mod wants he can move it I guess..

    @crithon: @darji: I just mean that this is information from a Ground Zeroes website for Ground Zeroes the game, so it should be in the Ground Zeroes forum. Yes, this probably will apply to Phantom Pain when that game comes out, but not necessarily. The same engine running the same basic game systems does not necessarily mean that it'll run exactly the same. Phantom Pain is supposed to have much larger environments, and that could lead to a lower FPS on PS4/Xbox One. Or, perhaps, further refinements to the engine in the mean time could mean that the Xbox One version would be bumped up to 1080P. There's no way of knowing.

    Barely any different at all. The shading on the ground and his suit is better, but that is basically it. PS3 vs PS4 is like night and day on the other hand. Add in the fact that only PS4 has 1080p... it is pretty obvious what system is the best choice for this game.

    Certain objects like the fence boards, the barbed wire, and the barrels are perceptibly less blurry in the Xbox One screenshot, but not nearly as drastically as the difference between the PS3 and PS4 screenshots.

    The texture resolution on the PS4 screenshot looks really nice.

    You can tell the Xbox One version is native 720p and the 360 is sub 720 upscaled, but other than that I agree there's little difference. But it does run at twice the frame rate so that's always a plus.

    It specifically mentions in the chart that in is scaled internally for PS3 and 360, which im assuming is just another way of saying upscaled.

    But im still kind of amazed that the last gen versions look so good.

    I really wish they'd done an actual comparison between all four versions, instead of just comparing PS4 to PS3 and Xbone to 360. The results won't affect me since I only have a PS3 and 360, but I'm curious just how the Xbone stacks up compared to the PS4 directly. You can't actually compare the two from these screens.

    There's hardly a difference between any of those shots. Seems like it's mainly just fanboy BS to cause so much fuss on other sites. If someone really cared about power/resolution THAT much they would make their own PC and mainly play on it.

    It's funny I see the detail most on the middle barrel in the Xbox 0ne pic, and actually around it, but the rest looks same-y. I say I reserve till people see the games run. Or at least I need a whole lot more comparison pics, of all different sorts.

    I want a PS4 but.....And I have a PS3 and an Xbox 360

    Wait you are honestly see no difference between old and next gen alone? I think you need glasses. The difference is clear. It is like saying there is no difference between SD and HD.

    There's a difference, but nothing noteworthy. The PS4 shot has more rocks and more readable text than the PS3 image... OMG!!!!

    @mb: it is not that bad since this will most likely go for both Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain. To be honest. I think Ground Zeroes version will even a bi more unoptimized so these stats could not be waht we will see with Ground Zero in terms of Framerate for example. In fact CVG already said that the Xbox One version has still framerate problems.

    There's definitely noticeable differences between PS4 and PS3, but if you're looking at the embedded screenshots instead of at full resolution it doesn't look as dramatic.

    http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118274/2601950-1455650360-inEpT.png

    http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118274/2601951-6671258040-ikm1e.png

    The PS4 version is noticeably clearer and sharper, you can actually read the sign on the left, whereas in the PS3 version parts of it are too blurry to make out. Shadows are improved, and textures are much clearer. There also appears to be more geometry in the PS4 version, there's more rocks scattered around the ground on PS4. They're not night and day differences, but the PS4 version definitely looks better, especially since it runs at native 1080p versus the PS3's sub-720 upscaled to 720p. I agree that people who want their games to look the best should invest in a PC, but MGSV unfortunately is console only right now.

    OP should have included all of the screens though, the lighting differences really come out in the night shots. The PS4/Xbone versions also once again showcase more geometry, with more grass and rocks on PS4, and some more objects and elevated land in the upper-right corner of the Xbone shot that are absent in the 360 one.

    @taku128: Yeah, those are better examples and seeing it bigger does help. I still don't see much of a difference between X1 and PS4 though. If the game really is short (2 to 4 hours) then I guess it doesn't matter since I won't be playing it anytime soon anyway.

    @deathstriker: It doesn't help that they didn't release direct comparisons between the two, instead only comparing PS4 to 3 and the Bone to 360, but PS4 does run in 1080p while the Xbone is only 720p. I think they'll probably otherwise look more or less identical since the Xbone is running at a lower resolution to compensate for its lack of power relative to the PS4.

    The shadow and texture resolution are higher on the xbox one version. The shaders are probably higher quality, too.

    Also don't think the 360 version has anisotropic filtering.

    @taku128: I agree, the Xbox looks almost identical if not for small variations.

    I still think the Xbone versions might look decent, even Saints Row 3rd running on pc at 720 with everything set to high did look better then on the consoles. Higher texture quality, more stable frame rate.

    @deathstriker: Quit with this. "Well if people cared about graphics they would play on PC" is consistently the dumbest comment I see when console comparisons come up.

    Just because some people play mainly on consoles doesn't preclude them from wanting the best version of a thing on console because when it comes down to it some people just prefer consoles. And this is a game that isn't even coming to PC further making brining up PC pointless.

    @deathstriker: Quit with this. "Well if people cared about graphics they would play on PC" is consistently the dumbest comment I see when console comparisons come up.

    Just because some people play mainly on consoles doesn't preclude them from wanting the best version of a thing on console because when it comes down to it some people just prefer consoles. And this is a game that isn't even coming to PC further making brining up PC pointless.

    Why do you hate people making comments about the superior PC version but make threads when its about the superior console version?

    This has happen to almost every games on the new gen to the point where we should just have a thread every time there is NO difference instead of when there is one. Let's just do that and assume this is the norm until said other wise, that way we wont have to have fanboys on both sides staging a dick measuring contest in everyone of these threads.

    On topic, wow last gen hardware still holding it in there.
