PC has worse max view distance then ps4?
Having played on ps4 previously, I noticed an odd problem.

On PC everything looks great maxed, far better then ps4... aside from the view distance.

Even with the maximum view distance setting details do not render in nearly as far as ps4 and the distant terrain looks considerably worse.

I am hoping for a fix....

I don't have a ps4 to compare it with, but I wish I did. I know my wife would love this game too, and it would be fun to be sitting on the couch passing the controller back and forth like the old days.

Yeah I wouldn't know, it seems fine to me but what does PS4 and X1 have.

One thing is for sure, the view distance and textures are terrible, even on ultra. It's one of the first things I noticed about the game.

Have you guys seen the distant terrain? It looks really really really bad.

And by distant I mean anything maybe... 100 feet ahead of you.
There is 0 diferences betwen PS4 and PC Besides FPS i just watched Digitalfoundry video

Trust me, there definitely is a difference.

It is hard to see graphics in a compressed youtube video.

i have the game on both PC and PS4 (i own PC copy, Roomate has it on PS4)... and i cannot tell the difference in view distance at all. if anything... the game just looks much better on my PC... as for view distance it looks to be about the same.

hmm I wonder if my really bad view textures is on my end.

It is mainly in the ground texture, which well... pretty much just becomes a green solid after 100 feet. Really is distracting.

Didn't have that on ps4.

Yeah have played both extensively, PS4 is definitely now slouch, though PC trumps it in overall clarity, textures and color pallette.

On the PC everything closer to you is of much higher quality compared to the PS4. Maybe the low quality graphics of the PS4 blends in more smoothly with the overall quality of the view distance better then PC does.

Assuming the view distances are the same.

I have compared the screens of both.

Ps4 has far less detail up close but the amount of objects in the distance increases signifigantly. Everything else looks so much better in the PC version, its really a shame the draw distance is so awful.

I don't believe the PS4 has a greater draw distance, please provide screenshots.
