Shadows are the same too, and the only drawback on PS4 Pro is visibility at range. Texture detail loads in at different times, but with a level fully rendered, the assets look identical. Pitting the two consoles side-by-side though, there really isn't too much else to divide them.

Full resolution output - or anything like it - is also infrequent on Pro, with pixel counts in the 1296p area most common in our sampling.īased on what the beta is delivering so far, it suggests that if you want the best image on console, Battlefield 5 renders at a consistently higher pixel-count on Xbox One X. Full 4K is theoretically possible but only resolves very rarely in the current build.

Xbox One X typically renders in an 1836p-1944p window, but the scope is there to drop lower. DRS measurement is always something of an imprecise science - by definition, the rendering load can change dramatically at any given point. Both Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro implement dynamic resolution scaling, with 2160p and 1800p the respective target pixel counts.

Here's how the Battlefield 5 beta plays out on Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro.ĭICE's work typically presents beautifully given additional resolution, and the recent Battlefield 1 update for Xbox One X brought us pretty close to 4K60 gameplay. There's a sharp contrast between light and dark, and specular points on Rotterdam's brick-roads look great even when rendered in standard SDR, but with high dynamic range enabled, it really sings. Black levels have a real crunch to them - a pitch of darkness that makes it harder to pick out enemies in shaded environments after turning from brighter areas. Camera exposure levels adjust automatically too, which can add to the challenge. The fish-bowl curvature to the camera, the film grain, chromatic aberration, and even the heavy lens flares all deliberately disrupt the frame's clarity for a more grounded, dirty effect. A lot of it is to do with the post-process effects and filters. This marriage of technology and gameplay courses through the Battlefield series. From streaks of sunshine creating lens flares on the camera, to fog or snowfall at set points - weather has a big impact on not only on a map's aesthetic, but also your visibility. You even have weather changes, adjusting the lighting on Rotterdam's streets. Parallax occlusion maps are also a standout point on the Narvik stage's snow, adding depth and pop to the hilly inclines leading to a village. These two beautifully designed areas build on Frostbite's ability to push tessellated detail on buildings, many of which are destructible with the right vehicle. But while each map looks beautiful in its own way, it's hard to shake the sense this is still early, unoptimised code - as you'll soon see. There's a conquest mode supporting up to 64 players - giving us a full stress test of the engine and netcode - across the canals of Rotterdam and the snowy slopes of Narvik.

In the wake of the recent Battlefield 1 Xbox One X update, can the developer follow up that excellent rendering showcase with another solid work-out for the Scorpio Engine - and just how closely can PS4 Pro match it?Ĭontent-wise, what we get in the beta is fairly straightforward. Battlefield 5 builds on the Frostbite technology in some exciting ways, and this week's beta gives us our first look at how the new DICE game presents and performs on console hardware.
