PC vs PS4

[AMDman18]

Has anyone played on both platforms? I just moved and haven't got my PC setup yet. Wondering if I'm missing out on anything presentation-wise if I choose to go with the PS4 version. I know it'll have the usual perks like higher resolution options and higher AA options. But does anyone know if there are any other perks like higher quality textures or better shadows or anything? I've seen that the PS4 build at least runs at a pretty solid looking 60fps which is good.

looks great on my PC at 2.5k rez

I know for sure that it runs only in 900p on ps4

There is always only one choice if you can choose PC or PS4 and that is PC!

PS4 has trophies though >.>

Lies. Every console review of the game says it is 1080P and 60fps on PS4.

EDIT: My mistake. I mixed it up with another game. Sorry kAs1m.

Wow, ok, you might know better.

In discription it says that ps4 runs it in 1600x900 internal res.

I has been pixel counted by multiple sources and reported to be 900p. Believe what you want. None of those reviewers pixel counted and based their information on what the devs provided, which may not have been the final version.

Yep, it may well be displayed at 1080p via upscaling on the PS4, but it's not being rendered at that resolution. Nor does the PS4 version run at a consistent 60fps. You'd have to be playing on a pretty average PC for the PS4 version to look/run better.

Both current gen consoles from Sony and MS are underpowered and overrated.

In case anyone else finds this thread, it looks like there was a patch at least for the PS4 Pro:

http://the-witness.net/news/2016/11/ps4-pro-patch-update/

"If you have a PS4 Pro, and are outputting to a 1080p TV, The Witness will render at 1080p, 60fps, 4x MSAA (which is substantially higher than the base PS4’s 900p, 60fps, 2x MSAA).
...
If you have a PS4 Pro, and are outputting to a 4k TV, then you get a choice of two modes from the options menu:
(a) 1440p 2x MSAA rendering of the game world, upscaled to 4k, text and UI rendered at 4k, 60fps
(b) 4k 2x MSAA rendering for everything, 30fps"

That's really quite surprising. I can play this game at 4K 8x MSAA and get framerates consistently around 120 in windowed mode on a GTX 1080.

I didn't think the PS4 (Pro) hardware was that pathetic, makes you wonder why they even bothered releasing the thing if it's 16x slower than a PC GPU :-\
