We’ve now put our hands on not only the original PS4 Alpha of Bungie’s MMO shooter Destiny, but have now completed the entire set having played the remarkable game on PS3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One as well. We captured footage and images from each version but to be fair, looking at the game in a freeze frame is probably the easiest way to see which one looks best out of all four. However, there’s debate as to which one is better across PS3 and Xbox 360 considering these two versions are pretty much identical bar differences in contrast or brightness. We’ve had to scale down the Xbox One and PS4 images to suit the same 720p output of the last gen consoles otherwise the last gen images would be unfairly and horribly stretched out to match the 1080p shots. Take a look at our Destiny cross generation images in their galleries and decide which one looks best (if it matters to you of course).

Be sure to take a look at our Destiny comparison videos for PS3 vs PS4 and PS4 vs Xbox One.
The PS4 version is at 1080P lowering it to 720P on PS4 to compare with the XboxOne version is “RETARDED”…
This has to be one of the worst comparison articles ever Hahaha what a moron.
Erm that’s not what has happened. All versions are at 720p to match the last gen versions. Not sure why you think just the PS4 version is at 720p and the Xbox One not and you call me retarded? Take your nonsense elsewhere please.
Like he says, just another insecure Sony pauperfanboy.
The nutless gutless wonder strikes again.
Get help “lionheart” or “death dealer”. All 3 consoles have good games and have their pluses and minuses. It’s only fanboys mindlessly trashing one or the other.
It’s not healthy to hate pieces of plastic and people who like playing video games on them.
So, why is it you want to make PS4’s screenshots to look like crap exactly? Under the guise and voice of ‘Equality and parity’? I don’t expect anyone to believe that bullocks.
Lemme tell you something about life. It’s never equal and you shouldn’t try to force things to be the same when they aren’t, reveal the benefits and shortcomings of everything in life and learn from it.
In this instance, PS4’s at 1080p, so don’t downgrade it to stroke someone off.
In reality they all should be resized to 1920×1080 since most TVs will upscale the 720p content to this resolution (unless you have a 720p or 4k set)…
Now, that would still help because photoshop’s scaling algorithnm is better than most TVs upscaling schenanigans.
Still, it would be better to put 1080p PNG images for that kind of comparison.
Would it be possible to clean up some of the fanboy trolling in this article comments? Thank you.

The lighting is better om XB1 at 900p.
The lighting isn’t better. It’s just the Brightness on PS4’s is higher.
It’s already known that Xbox has different Brightness settings and say, Option 3 on Both would cause X1 to be much darker in contrast to PS4.
So, no. You’re incorrect and it’s just the Brightness settings not being tweaked to both be at the same setting (Because they aren’t the same, awkwardly via settings.
That’s just high contrast. Your TV will already increase that contrast. But it does seem better at first glance on a computer monitor.
But because of that high contrast and crushed blacks, you’ll be nearly blind in dark rooms in the Xbox versions. Just take Thief as an example.
PS4 and PC versions usually have similar contrast and brightness levels, whereas the Xbox versions are usually more exaggerated.

That black crush is horrific.
Keep spamming this, loser, maybe one day it will come true.
$0N¥ PauperStation can’t reproduce true blacks.
Xbots can’t identify true blacks.
Go away, KingBSon.
Xbox One’s gamma is tuned to 2.35. PS4’s gamma is still using the old standard of gamma 2.2.
$0N¥ paupers desperately upvoting their comments with zero comment history accounts again. Poor paupers. Can’t get it right, no matter how hard they try.
Looks who’s talking. At least the Sony’ers own the better console, not by opinion but by specs. Hence PS4 beating XB1 in sales since launch.
Looks like without xbox one or ps4 on top, i wouldn´t know which is which.
I love how Ponys try to pretend the xb1 has crushed blacks.
Yes you can FORCE it to display crushed blacks WHEN YOU HAVE THE PICTURE SET UP INCORRECTLY.
Those sneaky Ponys spew lies and wrongly state xb1 games have crushed blacks.
They don’t. Just set your picture settings properly to your display.
And I think Ponys lie like this because it is a fact that the xb1 colour system is richer than the ps4s and they try to divert attention away from this.
