Says we’ll be surprised as “one looks definitely better than the other”.

The battle of the next-gen consoles rages on, and YouTuber Jack Frags posted on reddit promising a video comparing footage from both consoles. Direct feed 1080p gameplay footage of the two will be coming on the day Battlefield 4 releases, October 29th. Spotted by NeoGaf user Nirolak.

I’ll be posting Xbox One and PS4 footage – Direct capture 1080p on the 29th October – I’m not allowed to post before then. I have several hours of PS4 multiplayer and the full single player campaign on Xbox One recorded.

He also said without details that one version looks “definitely better” than the other.

I can’t talk specifics until the 29th but I can say that one of the next gen console versions definitely looks better than the other.

Not saying which one is the better one as he says, he at least mentioned on Twitter that we’ll be surprised.

And finally I think you guys will be very surprised when you see Xbox One vs PS4 footage!

It’s true he’s just a popular YouTuber and thus not an official source, he’s in direct contact with DICE and is often invited to their private preview events; he posted a video straight out of such an event.

What do you think the best version will be?

I don’t think the comparison is right. Multiplayer vs singleplayer i mean.

That was my initial reaction, but after thinking it over… If you combine previous rumors about the PS4 being much stronger than the XB1 and that “we’ll see the difference once they’re out”, you might reach the conclusion that he compares the XB1′s strong point with the PS4′s weak point to add shock value when they come out. If the rumors are to turn out true, and his launch day comparison shows the best of both and PS4 trumps XB1, you can imagine the outrage. That’s how I interpret his “surprise” comment.

Good thinking. Another option offcourse would be that because of the rumors of the PS4 being more powerfull than the Xbox One. The surprise is that the Xbox One version looks better. But maybe that would be to obvious. So yeah you might be right. Jackfrags offcourse is trying to hype people up so that they’re going to watch his video’s. Which is working hahaha.
We’ll know in three days

Wouldn’t he secretly mean that ONE looks better than the other?
Crash Ōkami

Entirely possible — at this point, we just have to wait a day more to find out. I honestly hope they’re not too much different.

I was reading his tweet again and I have to take back my comment. I thought his exact words were “One looks better than the other”. Damn it, I could swear I’d read it like that somewhere else. lol
Crash Ōkami

Haha, could be that, or you’re secretly a Microsoft employee so your mind willingly capitalized O. Do you have any confessions to make?

hahahaha… I could only wish. Anyway, one more day before we know what the surprise is, but i don’t think it will be a good one though. Also, we brazilians have our hands tied about the PS4 right now, since it’s gonna cost something aroung US$ 1900 here. The Xbone will cost half of that, as I’m sure you’ve already know, so it’d be great to know that both systems are similarly capable when it comes to multiplats.

At this point, if you want a PS4 in Brazil, you can just fly to the US, stay in a hotel until launch, go out and buy it, fly back, and you will still have saved money.

Plus, I just posted this story, Xbox One doesn’t look as a good alternative anymore, if this is true. Plus I make a point inside which says why it might be true, even if partially:

The PS4 is a beast, in fact a major German PC gaming magazine PCGH recommends the PS4 version of Battlefield 4 over PC! Essentially, they praise the PS4 version as it is pretty much locked at 60FPS and you would have to spend 1000€ on a new PC to get the same quality and performance available on the 399€ PlayStation 4.
