Couldn't find a thread so I thought I should run this here:

A game this late on last gen, you'd expect it to be a bit of a looker. But no.. I am not at all impressed with BF4's visuals; the textures look blurry and boring up close.

And God... the banding! Why is the banding so bad, particularly in the sky? What were they thinking?!! Visual tearing is practically all over the place. MOH WF was a much better looking Dice shooter on the X360. Heck, most of the COD has better offerings have far better visuals, with better AA, and locked in at 60 fps, no tearing.

Why EA? I hear it looks brilliant on the PC, but are consoles really that inferior, or did EA just half ass it and give the console versions a rush job? Wonder how it runs on the PS3.

Sound design and "gun play", good fun as always.

Really? I'd expect it to look a little worse than the best a 8-year-old mid-range PC could manage. When you look at it like that, some PS3/360 games were truly astounding in what they achieved.
 
That's true. Hard to believe this is an X360 game. Looks downright ugly in some game sequences. Can't understand why the banding is so bad. It's as if they copy/pasted the sky from a 16-bit console!
 
Such a shame, with so many visually stunning games coming out on the 360 and PS3 still. By contrast, BF4 visuals can be described as "embarrassing". As if they weren't even trying to give us a decent port.
 
You should see how bad some of this game looks on the X1. I was shocked how much of a hit it took graphically from BF3. I realize they have 64 players but ouch. Oh well gameplay is always the most important to me anyway.
 
What? This sucks on the X1 graphically? Ain't that something! Are you talking about MP performance issues only or also lackluster graphics in the SP campaign? Don't remember reading that in the reviews.

Yeah, gameplay is good fun. Although I prefer MOH WF's mechanics over this.

Talking about graphics. Well known issue. If you put in BF3 on the 360 then go right to BF4 on the X1 you will instantly see the difference graphically. Especially with the rocks, trees, and other scenery. Again, when you put 64 players onto a console, you have to sacrifice graphics somewhere.
 
I'm rather disappointed to see BF4 not shining through graphically on new gen. Is it just the X1 version or PS4 as well?

Maybe the devs need time to better utilize the hardware. Or maybe it's just EA!

On the subject, I never thought EA licensed games have been that great graphics-wise.

I'm at a bit of a loss though: are you saying even in SP the graphics are not even as good as BF3 on previous gen? That just don't make no sense Bob!

I am talking about just the MP. That's why I mentioned 64 players. Campaign next gen looks very good.

Pretty much every game looks better in the campaign than it does in the mp. Always been like that.

I've only experienced the First SP mission, but I was playing multiplayer most of the night, last night. I do not think its horrible at all, Although, I havnt took the time to actually look at the rocks and what not. Theres to much going on to stop and look around haha, but I'll check that out later today.

With 64 players, with all the vehicles, and destruction going on, it would sound reasonable that graphics have been downplayed, however, so far, I do not think its ugly at all.
