Epic Games confirms UE4 on ps4 is mostly the same as PC verison.

This is an update from the original Digitalfoundry article on PS4 vs PC UE4.http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-unreal-engine-4-ps4-vs-pcBrian Karis, senior graphics programmer at Epic Games adds some more insight in the comments below, explaining some of the more obvious differences - particularly in terms of the very different lighting schemes. At the technical level, the two demos are closer than it seems:'The biggest changes actually came from the merging of two separate cinematics, the original Elemental and the extended Elemental we showed at PS4's launch event. Each had different sun directions and required some compromises to join them. This resulted in some major lighting differences that aren't platform related but were due to it being a joined cinematic. Another effect, in the original you could see the mountains through the door where in the merged one we made the view through the door white since the mountains outside were no longer the same. Same deal with the mountain fly by. The old mountain range doesn't exist in the new one. These changes from the merge make direct comparisons somewhat inaccurate.'Feature wise most everything is the same, AA resolution, meshes, textures (PS4 has tons of memory), DOF (I assure you both use the same Bokeh DOF, not sure why that one shot has different focal range), motion blur.'Biggest differences are SVOGI has been replaced with a more efficient GI solution, a slight scale down in the number of particles for some FX, and tessellation is broken on ps4 in the current build which the lava used for displacement. We will fix the tessellation in the future.'So yeah same everything except the lighting position and slightly toned down particles. SVOGI is cut because it's not an economic solution even for high end PCs if used in an actual game. The final UE4 ps4 version should look much better when certain bugs are fixed.

[QUOTE="Rage010101"]sounds to me like you're bitter and cant afford pc gaming.tormentos

The same is done on PC and on every single GPU on the market for ages,the Titan is king now,in a few years it will be just another card of the bunch and like many have done before with other top end GPU,you will have to resort to trade off to be able to run games at certain speed.

Do these below max setting pics look like I'm making a trade off?

[QUOTE="faizan_faizan"]"More Efficient" LOL. Like any one with a brain actually gonna believe that.tormentos

...you think the very first games on PS4 is representative of what the PS4 can do,because we all know that Perfect Dark Zero was a representation of the best the 360 could do,the same with Resistance and the PS3..:lol:...

I would like to emphasize this. People that use games that havent been released to determine what PS4/X720 games look like are setting themselves up.
