PS4 - Primal's Graphics are Worse than Far Cry 4!

[JDPUK]

I'm blown away by the disparity, for some reason Primal has tremendous bloom and oversaturation issues, it's very odd, everything is so bright and overly saturated when you are in the open sun, it looks horrible - washed out. Water and fire also look much worse, it's very odd to say the least. Draw distances are much poorer as well. Detail on characters is better, though that's about it. I do find that the sound is better, though it's debatable, in FC4, you had tons of different types of weapons that emitted sound, here it's more of the environment and animals. I like the game, though I'm truly taken back by the quality of graphics compared to the last game, highly noticeable as well on any and all types of plants and vegetation.

Am I the only one noticing this?

They explained this. The world was much "cleaner" and vibrant 12,000 years ago, particularly when compared to today. They wanted this to be represented.

That being said, I cannot agree with regards to draw distances and the PC, from what I have seen. I cannot speak for XBO or PS4. I thought the fire and water look pretty damn good. Also, fire spreads quite abundantly, so I am sure that there may have been some tradeoff between functionality and beauty.

They didn't have good gpu's in the stone ages.

I believe they need to patch the PS4 version, the way it is now, cleaner or not it should not look the way it does. It's basically a whiteout, everything is overly bloomed, Iike I said, I enjoy the game, though compared to FC4, it's substantially inferior in a lot of ways.

There are some visual glitches from time to time on ps4 . The game looks nice hopefully on pc it will look much better and most likely better then far cry 4

In this comparison, in all honesty I selected the PS4 version due to this comparison, IMO PS4 looks much more colorful and lively in this video for FC4:

When I play FC4 on ultra it doesn't look as washed out as it does on this video, something odd going on.

Secondly both versions appear to be running at 30fps, a smoother image is a superior image.
