PS4 graphics

No, it uses OpenGL. OpenGL supports the same stuff, but that doesn't mean the PS4 will get it. I mean it IS a low to low-mid range PC after all.

The PS3 is a low to low mid range PC. I think you overestimate what kind of hardware people play this game with.

Am considering playing on PS4 so that I can play from my couch.

You can do that with a PC, too. Plug in your controller, sit on your couch.

Consoles are just weaker, dumbed down versions of PCs without the extra stuff that makes PC superior.

i play on ps4, an my wife plays on pc, she actually likes my ps4 better because the colors are a lil brighter, however i like the graphics on her pc better, her anti-aliasing on pc is way above the ps4 quality, the character edges on pc are smooth. also she renders objects farther in the distance better on pc than my ps4. i noticed at our house in the Mist, on the islands out in the distance she can see each individual tree, where as i can jsut tell there is some trees out there lol

This is most likely due to different monitors and/or colour calibration.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I'll give the PS4 a shot!

Go for it. For a console, I'm pretty impressed with how well it handles this game at present. Time will tell if this level of quality is sustainable, though.

Looking to get a SSHD where to get one from that's compatible.

Also from 1-10 how much improvement will it be and about how much?

Before I spend the cash. Hopefully if helps for all games online and offline it should be worth it.

Because I'm crazy, I spent $300 and put a 500GB Samsung EVO SSD into my PS4. It works. And I must give kudos to Sony for making it extremely simple to install and configure an aftermarket drive.

As far as performance increase, most places you look on the internet will tell you it isn't worth it, because you won't see too much when it comes to booting up the PS4 or launching games. Maybe you'll get a 10 second improvement here and there.

However, there's more to playing games than just starting them up. And where a SSD really shows its stuff is, for example, load times when changing areas in FFXIV. It's much MUCH quicker. Area transitions on my PS4 are now faster than they are on my PC, which is also using a SSD.

Was it worth $300? I dunno. I don't regret it, and certainly one can go for a smaller drive for less money. But keep in mind that the game requires 35GB, and that's only gonna get bigger over time.
