As a net result, PS4 and Xbox One are able to reduce flicker when panning across foliage, while these elements appear harsh and pixelated on PC. Instead, PC users are left with a raw image, which in our comparison shots is set to output a straight 1080p. However, catching this disparity does take very close attention to side-by-side shots - in part due to both versions' use of a heavy post-process anti-aliasing effect.Ĭuriously, this post-process setting is entirely absent from the PC version's menus. In contrast with the full native 1920x1080 output on PS4, it's undoubtedly a downgrade that echoes the state of many multi-platform releases this year. The Xbox One release is immediately on the back foot, with our pixel count tests highlighting an upscaled 1600x900 resolve for the platform. As is often the case, resolution is a divisive point on the console front. With PS4 and Xbox One alike patched up to version 1.02, the differences at first glance are few owing to a heavy use of pre-rendered cut-scenes of matching compression settings. But on balance, does Sony and Microsoft's hardware realise the same satisfying, open-world Middle-earth experience?īuilt on a new revision of Monolith Productions' LithTech engine, the commitment to the new wave of consoles is evident. Visual features are cut back to this end - to varying degrees for both - though curiously we see certain visual effects exclusive to console. On the other hand, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One releases boast graphics settings tailored to each platform in order to squeeze the most consistent rate of performance.
Considered a curveball for PC users, Shadow of Mordor's whopping 6GB video memory requirement for ultra textures makes it - at first blush - appear the version to beat.
