Metal Gear Solid V is 720P on Xbox One, 1080P on PS4

MGS 720

If you’ve put down cash for a new-gen console, then you’re expecting that piece of hardware to blow your eyeballs out for the next couple of years. There’s some great games available that do just this, with the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 titles being beyond gorgeous. If you’re playing on the Xbox One however, expect your taste of the next Metal Gear Solid game to be considerably less HD than on PS4.

“Since “METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES” is a multi-platform game, we have taken the opportunity to test the differences in how each version of the game looks and plays,” the Konami website read, shortly after series creator Hideo Kojima confirmed that he would publish the numbers:

The videos and images below show an overview of these differences, which we hope will help to decide which version is right for you.

Naturally, the PlayStation 4 version completely dominates the PlayStation 3 version. Here’s are those comparison screens, click to embiggen:

And moving on from there, the comparison between Xbox 360 and Xbox One:

So how does the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version stack up next to one another? Once again, the PlayStation 4 leads the race when it comes to resolution, clocking in at a pure 1080P compared to the 720P display of the Xbox One:

MGS Resolution

Frame-rates are the only constant here, as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One both boast 60 of them every second.That being said, a Japanese developed game running better on Japanese hardware, shouldn’t be a surprise. Both games still look fantastic no matter which platform you’re playing it on, but if you’re looking for a solid tech demo, the PlayStation wins over the Xbox One. Yet again.

    Yet again the Xboxone is only 720p.

    Now I know it’s nitpicking but clearly there must be something fundementaly wrong with the XBoxOne software if it can’t hit the 1080 standard?

        It all makes sense now. Pitty really. The Xboxone could have benefited from being able to hit the 1080 mark.

      Now the BIG question…..Witcher 3? They keep saying stuff like both consoles are the same bla bla bla bla. And yet most devs had the balls to come out and say ps4 has more oomph. so the big question i want to know is what’s the resolution going to be on both consoles? Are they busy digging themselvesi big old hole likd MS did?

        I believe they have a deal to release both versions in 720p so that there is no difference.

        Still 60 for all intents and purposes. For accurate journalism and all.

            He still has a valid point that the XBoxone is still not as capable as the PS4 here

    I played Boderlands 2 last night on the PS3 (thanks PS+). After Killzone and Tomb Raider on the PS4 it just looks ugly. Still fun on a bun though.

    PS4 really is next gen. Looking forward to what is coming in the future.

    The should have called the new console XBOX 720. Because :

    1. It is the successor to XBOX 360 and XBOX 360 * 2 = XBOX 720
    2. Best it can do is 720p

    Now maybe they new this and decided not to name it XBOX 720 because internet memes/jokes/trolling.

      “….how the hell should I spot a difference between PS4 and Xbox One???”

      The Xbox One is the massive VCR looking console. The PS4 is the sexy sleek looking machine. Also, the one says “Xbox” on the top of the console and has an orb with an “X” at the front. The PS4 simply says “PS4” at the front.

      On a serious note, I think you will find this game anything but rushed. If you decide to buy this game, ask a buddy with a PS4 and MGS:GZ and compare the two versions. I would bet serious money* you will be able to see the difference.

      *I don’t have serious money to actually make such a bet.

    This is pretty damning for the xbone. The 360 and Xbone versions look virtually identical (bar the sharpening filter), and the weirdest part of all, the PS3 version seems to be on par with Microsoft’s next gen console, with the PS4 just blowing them all away.
