Steam version fonts and sprites ARE NOT DOWNGRADED

[Pangolin Legends: Arceus]

Here is a font comparison between ps4 and pc: the pc font weight looks slightly more bold and the very bottom of the lower case g is cut off but it is not "lower resolution" than the ps4 version.

Here is a comparison of the sprites between ps4 and pc. They are the same. PC version is anti-aliasing them a bit though.

Good thread

WTF are you talking about? Looks like you don't own the game on steam, do you own the game on ps4? Do you know what you're talking about in the slightest?

You can't really compare the colours from my screenshots because the ps4 is a photo of my tv.

Because the screenshot is taken close enough that the pixel detail is clearly visible.

If you can't articulate your criticisms then get the F out of my thread.

I can see the text and stuff in a slightly fuzzy manner.... Clearly others do as well so, even if some don't see it must be an issue somewhere. And yes, I would count the fuzzy textures on things and font as a downgrade. A very minor one for me as I can look past it but it is a noticeable difference between the versions we have available across the platforms.

There is a slight anti-aliasing on the pc sprites that is not changed by toggling the anti-aliasing menu option but the assets are the same.

I'm trying to do a more scientific analysis right now but it's hard because I don't know if there's a way to get a non lossy screenshot on the ps4 and send it somewhere.

[Pangolin Legends: Arceus]

Here's a Prinny looking sharp. It was captured on the Steam version by grabbing the screen with printscreen instead of using Steam's jpg screenshot.

One problem is that when the screen zooms in, as it had done for the initial screenshots the sprites get filtered by the size transform and look as though they have AA on.

No.

OK lets put this to rest, these are non compressed, lossless images from PS4 and PC



UI
Pay attention not only to the font which is obvious, but to all the UI elements, PC is blurry because they are upscaling 720p assets to 1080p 4k etc

PS4

PC

Sprites/Textures
This is less noticable and less of an issue, but pay attention to the light halos and the bottom left texture.

We have known about these differences for about 6 months.

That said I'm playing and enjoying it, I own it on all 3 systems.

I see no difference between between the assets: they are identical. They are not scaled up 720p assets. I'm a hobbyist pixel graphic artist but I think anyone should be able to see that those sprites are identical.

100% something going on with the text on PC if not anything else.

Edit; Zooming in on the second set of samples there doesn't seem to be any issue with sprites but again, 100% there is something going on with the texture resolution on the 3D modeled backgrounds.

Download them, load them into photoshop, look.
I'm a non-hobbyist full-time game developer and graphic artist, trust me, there is a difference.

I don't have photoshop (I don't support their monetization model) but I get what you're saying. I use other tools.

There is a difference in the pixels on the screen but it's not due to the assets being different or 720 assets resized. Any difference is due to anti-aliasing or zooming code being different on the pc vs. on the playstation. Anyone who works with pixelart can look at a prinny in a ps4 screenshot and a pc one and tell you that they are the exact same sprite.
