Digital Foundry is in the middle of an in-progress comparison of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain on both PS4 and Xbox One.
The site’s current thoughts? That the game is a “worthwhile” purchase on either platform.
“In particular, the Xbox One version is much improved over last year’s Ground Zeroes – this time offering a native 1600×900 resolution that gives the console a huge leap over the last game’s disappointing 720p setup,” the site states.
“The 56% increase in resolution over Ground Zeroes means the game’s broad vistas can be seen through a clearer window – and even trees and buildings far off into the distance appear closer to PS4’s level of clarity.
“Xbox One acquits itself very nicely at 900p, and despite some softening to foliage elements, its resolution is no longer a tangible limiting factor to the experience.”
Digital Foundry does admit that the PS4 version “wins out in direct comparisons” as it delivers an image without the need for upscaling.
