Dark Souls III PC v PS4 - Graphics Comparison

@mal123456:

There's actually a pretty big difference in person. Higher resolutions, twice the framerate (or more), more solid framerate (PS4 version has framerate drops and frame pacing issues), better anti-aliasing, and whatever cool SweetFX tweaks people come up with. The PC version definitely has some nice advantages.

@CWhidmore: 3/10 bait.

@CWhidmore: lmfao.

@mokalid:

Most games don't look that similar between the console and PC versions. From Software just doesn't put much effort into enhancing their PC versions like many developers do.

Low quality videos on the internet can be misleading. If you see videos comparing last gen games to their "remastered" versions on current consoles there doesn't usually seem to be much difference either. But when you play them in person the difference is appreciable and significant.

In any case, if you think there isn't much difference between console and PC then you probably haven't actually spent any time playing on a decent gaming PC. Moreover, if there isn't a significant difference between PC and consoles then the difference between PS4 and XB1 must not exist at all. Yet, we see console fanboys arguing about this constantly, as if it were the most important thing in the world.

It seems console fans (mostly Sony fans) want to have it both ways. They want to pretend simultaneously that the PC isn't much better than the PS4, but somehow the PS4 is way better than the XB1. It's pure absurdity.

In reality, the performance gulf between the platforms is more like this: PC>>>PS4>XB1

@dannydouble: There had to be a way to get the console versions to run at 60 so they decided graphics had to suffer in order to do it. Just looks like they forgot to put the decent graphics back in for the PC version though.

@dannydouble: From Soft needs to give DS series a fitting closure. From all the DS III footage I've been watching, the game is a great entry, but it's clearly running out of ideas. The boss' battles are visually stunning this time but it's like they have fewer attack patterns than ever. The last boss battle was a proper farewell though.

@dannydouble: Yeah... too much sequels, same of the same gameplay become old... glad this on is the last, and from sofwaere will move on new direction... Look how bloodborne has beter evioriment! just needed more weapons and variations...

@deviltaz35: What? That makes no sense. Anti aliasing is blur. You want to turn it on to make it less blurry?

@ILSATS: Eh, I beg to differ, there are some really beautiful visual demonstrations in the Soul's series.

@ILSATS: If they are going to bother with a PC port there should at least be a standard though. This looks worse than Dark souls 2. Surely this is not max settings on PC. Where is the AA?

@bongsyas_23: Isn't the general idea to get people excited for the game though. Why would they show it looking this utterly shit? i saw it being played elsewhere and it looked alot better than what they are showing here.

@dlaney34: Coming the the pleb living in his moms basement.

@brgsteven: Yep it sure proves one thing. If you port a PS4 game onto the PC it looks the same apart from framerate . Wow that must be some sort of revelation in the world of gaming. Now can the real Dark Souls 3 please stand up? Please take this Direct X 9 quality game and shove it up ya kyber pass and give us something decent for 2016.

Looks like Durante may have to step up once again to save this mediocre game on PC.
I guess injecting smaa will make it look better if you can use reshade.
