Far Cry 4
Far Cry 4 performs admirably on PS4, running at a native 1080p resolution with near-consistent 30fps gameplay. The custom HRAA anti-aliasing maintains clear image quality with minimal aliasing. By comparison, Xbox One renders at 1440x1080 upscaled, delivering slightly softer image quality but minor frame-rate advantages under heavy load. While the PC release offers superior asset density, soft shadows, and HBAO+, it suffers from noticeable background streaming stutter not present on console.
