    So which one is the better version. I did some quick research both run at 1080, both are locked at 30, there is pop in in both and some background stuff may be worse in the XB1 version but the XB1 version has better shading apparently?

    I want this game and I get my XB1 today. PS4 comes out here next week should I wait? I was hoping for a bit more of a comparison around the internets but apparently everyone is just a little too busy with all the console launch stuff to be really digging into that stuff.

    • Both 1080p
    • Both 30fps with drops to 20fps... the framerate drop is a bug to be fixed in a patch.
    • Both uses the same assets and textures
    • PS4 "makes use of a bokeh depth-of-field effect to distinguish the foreground from a backdrop, noticed mainly during pre-race camera angles. It's a pleasant effect that recreates the results of real-life photograpy when a camera's aperture is reduced, causing distant lights to appear as enlarged luminous specs - a look that's entirely absent on Xbox One."
    • Xbone uses SSAO while PS4 HBAO

    Pretty much comes down to which platform you prefer.

    The differences are so microscopic that it doesn't truly matter. I'd say get it today. Have a hard time feeling you'll be disappointed in the slightest.

    PS4 version should be marginally prettier too if it has DoF and HBAO.
