Detailed and complete Comparison of all 3 high Versions of the Cross Gen Game ACIV Black Flag.

This is a GORGEOUS looking game on all platforms (even 360/PS3) and the water/rain and particles effects on the Next Gen systems along with the improved Frame-rate and Image Quality do push these versions above the Last Generation.

The PC version runs at a Mostly silky 60FPS rather than the locked 30 both PS4 and X1 run at which is a bit of a disappointment but overall it does not affect the game any and it feels less of an issue being a 3rd person game than a 1st Person one.

I hope this video shows how close all 3 are and even though YouTube negates the X2 FPS increase the PC version has, by and large the PS4 and PC versions are nigh on Identical with them both running a full native 1080p. The X1 does come close with a deeper colour palette (from a visual view) than the other 2 but again the darker settings of the default display on the X1 to earn on the darker side which can improve the depth of colour. It runs at a native 900p upscalled to 1080p but this can be seen with small pixel crawl on thin objects and distance, the Day 1 patch does improve the AA solution on the X1 and I will post a comparison of the difference, these are mostly seen on the Grand Vista scenes (Syncing and on trees etc).

This same Day 1 Patch on PS4 boosted the AA solution and more importantly boosted the Rez from 900 to 1080. Again the Solution appears a lot more complete on PS4 and you can see the improvement from the X1 IQ display.

The PC version gains from having more options on AA solutions Like MSAA etc and Nvidia can run HBAO+ and some extra AA solution specific to Nvidia Cards that allow an even better display on Thin and Distant objects.

VERDICT

No matter if you buy this on Xbox 360 or High End PC you are getting the same game, all the cut-scenes/Locations/Sea Battles/ Exploration and lush settings are retained across all versions.

What you get is an extra Sprinkle of visual Candy and a much better IQ and in the case of PC a better Frame-rate (dependant on your machine and this game is VERY Hungry for Power and you need a Good Spec to run as in this video) that just makes the game look/feel and play that bit better that Last Gen Machines. It still is a game that is tied to  its routes in a Last Gen game and these versions are like the PC versions of Cross Platform games over the past 4 years or so. Same Game at Higher rez/frames with more visual Splendor.
