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.

Honestly it looks as if the PS4 has better shading than the PC...as seen in the comparisons in Thanalan. But towards the end of the year the PC will get the DX11 upgrade and there will be no comparison! Perhaps......

where are you getting this information? they gave no indication as to when the PC would get DX11

Why? Won't ps4 get dx11? It shoud get it to, there's no reason not to do it... I think it shoud handle it well.

actually the PS4 uses both OpenGL an DX11
have a look here http://www.geek.com/games/sony-iimpr...u-ray-1544364/
this likely means the PS4 version is infact a tweak of the PC version not a reprogrammed OpenGL version

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.

this gives me hope that maybe they will consider an OpenGL version of the game for the PC.
not a lot of hope mind you but some hope that it might be considered

it was mentioned a few days ago that they're going to pick back up dx11 support towards the end of the year?

Here it is, its from the post with the next few patch notes on

"Work on Dx11 version to continue after the world media tour. Aim to release before year end."

You get bigger boobs on PS4. At least, that's what IGN's comparison video showed me.

Its true! I'm a rl girl, but i notice my character had a boob job during her PS4 upgrade.....hmmmm....I wonder who financed it?

On topic (more on topic) graphics still not as good as PC, but a million times better than PS3

And squint or use binocular

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.

DirectX is a Microsoft technology that runs on Windows (and Xbox) only. Sony has their own graphics API for Playstation 4 that is similar to DX11 in terms of supported features, but it is not DX11.

It's not likely that we'll see any king of significant graphics upgrade to the PS4 version. It already runs at 20-30fps and having it go any lower would make the game completely unplayable. They may add small graphics improvements in patches (like the rain/wet clothing effect in 2.15) but nothing major.
