Ps4 graphics

treyu86 · June 2015

I just logged into de PS4 an noticed graphics are quite downgraded versus de PC version. I was sure they were gonna be a bit worse but not so much. What is your opinion on the ps4 graphics?

On the other hand, I experience quite a bit of stuttering or lag or something that does not make the game feel fluid, i am on EU is this a known issue now?

My PC graphics when I started a year ago were fantastic. almost everything on ultra. I don't know what happened to my PC, but they got worse and worse until I was playing on a mix of high and medium.

The PS4 graphics are better than what I was playing on PC by the end. EXCEPT the draw distance. I like to have a long draw distance, even at the expense of other things like reflections. But I guess this was a design decision.

The particle effects are really nice on playstation though.

Also, I've come from a 22" 1080p Monitor to 55" 1080p TV, so... there's some loss there. But I don't notice it as much as some people do.

I tried it on Remote Play to my 22" TV, and the graphics were... a generation's difference xD. I don't know if the game actively makes worse graphics for remote play? I had thought it just streamed the video. But it looked quite bad. Surprisingly still quite responsive though :-).

I was wondering this. They look a bit jagged.

Looks fine to me, 63" @12ft away. I wasn't expecting anything over the top. If anything I think it holds up well...and it's 1080p rather than 1440p (and 3ft away) I play on PC so I guess that helps take my eye off the little details. The UI is much better (though oh do I miss mouse and keyboard, especially on the map screen!).

Texture streaming is a different story, but if the textures were higher res then the streaming would be even worse (and I'm on a 160mbps wired cable)...QED, we can't have it all.

When I played on PC last year, I unfortunately had the crappiest of crappy computers to game with, so I wasn't able to get the full experience of the great graphics. I played on a gaming laptop for a week or two before I initially quit the game, so I got a bit of a taste.

As compared to PS4 graphics, I can't complain. I can definitely see where the settings are lowered and sometimes I notice the rendering more so than I'd like, but overall I still think the game looks amazing.

Texture streaming? Textures load from the hard drive, and as far as I know consoles have 5400rpm drives. I'm assuming that's the cause of any slow loading texture issues.

It mseems to me also that consoles graphic is worse. Mind you i play on very medicore pc.

ADarklore · June 2015

PC graphics look awesome on my 59" TV thanks to my GTX 980.

Robbmrp · June 2015

Console graphics will always be sub par when compared to PC. This is the main reason I will always be a PC Gamer. I like being able to get more performance from my system by upgrading this or that. I have all my settings on Ultra and can't say how many times I stop at spots in the game and just say "that's incredible scenery".

While consoles have come along way with graphic detail, they will never catch up to PC IMO.

Experiencing Lag Too
I am on a 30 MBs down / 10 MBs up dedicated FioS link in metropolitan area.
Lag seems to be worse when I cross people, As soon as I get their feed I have a lag

At least the Console and PC versions are equal there....

Dont worry its not your internet connection, its not really the ps4 either . Its there bad coding because you know zenimax never coede a game before eso .

And this proves that it's either the game code or the data exchange that sends data to ESO. The consoles are on a different server than the PC version which has the exact same lag issues. Unless all the server hardware they use is sub par....

@ZOS_GinaBruno, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom, @ZOS_PaulSage

Sounds like it's time to take a look at your data exchange and or the game code. Consoles are having the exact same issues with Lag that PC Players have been complaining about for the last 3 months since 1.6 was implemented.

JarekReanimated · June 2015

Definitely worse, bigger issue is the lag and stutter.

Nestor · June 2015

You will have more lag in the cities than out in the world doing quests and exploring. So, keep that in mind. Basically, the more players around you, the more lag you may experience.

Didn't have anywhere near this amount of lag when the PC version released, and I'm in the same town, and if memory serves me correctly there was many more people around on the PC release.

Finishing the prison, leaving the house (Daggerfall) and seeing everyone as black, there weren't 100s of people around. Inside mages guild building there was only a couple of other players, still non stop lag.

Wired PS4, fibre Internet with no traffic management.

Adam_Chattaway · June 2015

PC just has better draw distance and water mainly from what i see, prob shading to, but side by side textures look the same, i compared the new lion mount from ps4 with pc and it looks the same texture quality.

iTzStevey · June 2015

Ive noticed how the xbox graphics seem netter than the ps4 version. I dont know wether or not its because i was watchin the videp of xbox gameplay on a smaller screen but it was quite a noticeable difference

TequilaFire · June 2015

Hopefully today's patch 1.04 will improve the "lag" in the cities.

Per Patch Notes:

Improved the game’s performance when large numbers of player characters would load into the same visible area.

This^

I have said it before - had the same issue on pc with a slow HD - swapped for an SSD - issue solved.

This is an hardware issue they should have known about. This will not get solved unless they would consider downgrading the textures (or you swap HD on console)

On topic - after playing in PC for more than one year, I transferred/copied to PS4. I was expecting downgraded graphics but this made my eyes bleed. I guess I'm spoiled but transferred back to PC.

A PC can handle lots of people online at once where as the PS4 and One could not thuse things had to be scaled back as far as density is concerned.

Witcher 3 gfx for this game is a definitely no way scenario.

TequilaFire · June 2015

Exaggerate much?
The graphics are not as bad as you say.
Most of us upgrade our PS4 hard drives anyway as it is so easy to do.

MissBizz · June 2015

Personally I think the PS4 graphics are good. As good as PC? No, but for console they are very good. I more so noticed the loss of a bit of detail. To be honest, if I had not previously (and currently) been playing the PC version at Ultra higher.. I'm sure I would have been stunned by the PS4 graphics.. because then I really wouldn't have noticed the small details that seem to be lost.

FelixTheCatt · June 2015

Honestly I never expected the graphics for Ps4 to be on par with the pc version in the first place. Consoles are too limited vs pc as we all know. That being said , the game still looks great and really I haven't had hardly any issues with stuttering or lag. The game crashed to the log-in screen a couple times but other than that , its ran wonderfully for me.

markt84 · June 2015

Geez, get off this counting pixels crap. The game looks fantastic. This is a huge open world game with hundreds of thousands of people running around at the same time, I'm surprised consoles can even handle it. The game runs very smooth unless ur rushing flag with a huge group of people. To me it's the best looking mmo out there, characters don't look all cartoony like most mmos. Just enjoy playing the game people

they are actually better on ps4, no ps4 screenshot looks as bad as the comparison of the OP

Adam_Chattaway · June 2015

i cant believe tho pc gamers saying the gfx are that bad when they are 90% the same... textures are same, af is lower sure, AA seems same, view distance and water effects are the only difference really... look at proper comparison videos of the game pc vs ps4.

Not trying to exaggerate at all. Like I said, PC graphs have spoiled me. For me the difference was too big. I'm not saying that the graphs are bad (not at all) but the difference is too noticable for me (just a personal opinion).

what you think a bit of view distance is that big of a deal? please... at least the ps4 is smooth as butter in a huge castle siege, no fps drop at all.

Dont want to worry you but i would strongly recommend to hold the opinions on pvp on consoles untill vr campains will be full of high lvl players wiht caltrops and meteors. Remember people praising consoles for working lfg tool?

PC player here.. I didn't say the graphics are bad on PS4 at all. I said I just noticed it was lacking some details, that I would only have noticed due to the fact I play on Ultra High on PC. Things such as water effects (and the ground below them) are details. Details build up though - and when your used to something - you pick up what is then suddenly "missing" from what you know. Had I never played PC and wasn't used to those details - I would never know.

Watch comparison videos? How about just ACTUALLY compare to two as some have. It's noticeable if you're used to the ultra high graphics on PC, but definitely not huge. Some aspects will bother some more than others etc.
