Gutted about the lacklustre quality of the PS4 beta

[KenzieLynch]

I watched a twitch stream of the PS4 beta earlier and even from that I could tell it looked stunning. Yoshi-p already confirmed the PS4 client is equivalent to max PC settings and in some regards actually performs better than the PC version.

I suspect you were ALWAYS going to make this post, and probably had it written and saved on your desktop weeks ago regardless of the outcome.

This has been my experience, no idea what the OP is talking about to be honest. It seems to perform about as well as my PC, if not a little smoother in crowded towns. Considering it's on a console it's just beautiful, a pretty big step up form the PS3 version. Only problem is the total lack of UI scaling options, some of the text is very, very small.

Much runs smoother and looks better on my £350 PS4 than it does on my £450 laptop [nVidia 635M] - same screen. But I can imagine if you've got a top of the range PC, PS4 wouldn't be as good...

Only problem is the total lack of UI scaling options, some of the text is very, very small.

UI scales fully though? In the HUD layout, click the right stick to switch scale.

I still don't get ppls issues with this. I'm running a 40" LG TV in 1080p and have the UI elements scaled to 60 or 80% depending. The 12pt font size (standard scale) of the chatlog means a capital 'A' is 5mm tall on-screen, which I can read without my glasses (which by rights I should need to see small things far away) from 6-8ft away on my sofa.

Erm, I can't imagine this is true in any way at all.

It should be true if your PC hardware is equivalent or lower performance than a PS4. It is false if your PC hardware specs are higher than PS4 specs.

PS4 has less background tasks and has access to lower level API so it should perform better on equivalent hardware.

PC version performance is depended on your PC specs.
