Depth of field and per-object motion blur effects missing, too.
PS4 gameplay footage of Star Wars Battlefront revealed at E3 last month ran at 900p, according to a report by
Digital Foundry.
The site states that
the footage offers a "genuine, practical look at console gameplay in motion," but follows up by saying that "from an early pixel-count we see the game matches the basic framebuffer setup of Battlefield 4 and Hardline: the evidence suggesting this PS4 build runs at a native 1600x900 with a pass of post-process anti-aliasing."
That's some way away from the initial
reveal trailer, which Digital Foundry believes may have been "rendered at a resolution beyond 1080p and likely down-sampled to achieve a crisper image, with a stutter-free frame-rate and footage chopped to give us an idealised vision of the game."
The site also notes that depth of field and per-object motion blur effects featured in the initial trailer are absent from the PS4 demo, too.
What isn't yet clear, however, is how the Xbox One version performs or whether the PS4 resolution could be improved in the run up to launch.
Both Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline ran at 900p on PS4 and 720p on Xbox One. DICE has yet to confirm what it's targeting for Star Wars Battlefront.
