Turning to PC, we're running the game at 1080p resolution to match consoles, albeit with its highest graphical settings enabled in tandem with SMAA. There are a few curious differences between platforms, but ultimately all three look very close during gameplay. Far Cry Primal compared on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
The gain in clarity is perceptible with like-for-like shots, but thanks to Ubisoft's applied anti-aliasing, the gap is narrowed to a surprising degree in motion. Like its predecessor, Far Cry Primal adopts a soft-focus image where edges and texture details are smoothed over to a point, and here the extra per-pixel sharpness provided by a native 1080p resolution on PS4 doesn't hold as much of an advantage compared to other titles. Trees and foliage appear a little rougher, but elsewhere environmental details and the game's vibrant range of wildlife hold up well. Impressively, it's rare that Xbox One's lower resolution has a visible impact in play. Ubisoft's chosen anti-aliasing method once again appears to match HRAA, with a higher-precision implementation on the PS4 giving it a more pristine image. The lack of straight geometric edges in this prehistoric world makes pixel-counting a challenge, but overall image quality is comparable to the previous game, and we see many of the same visual characteristics on each of the two consoles. PS4 once again hands in a native 1080p image, while Xbox One's native resolution comes in at around 1440x1080, as before. Even so, those running on higher-end GPUs reap a few enticing rewards here - and not just in the frame-rate stakes.Ĭlearly, the theme for Ubisoft's latest series instalment is refinement over revolution, and as such we see this Dunia-engine-powered title share many similarities with Far Cry 4. Equally, there's a sense Ubisoft's comfort with the hardware is only growing at this stage, and the entire package is drawing much closer to a maxed-out PC experience.
Ubisoft's second Far Cry title on current-gen consoles adds plenty of visual extras over Far Cry 4 Primal is a better-looking game for its use of volumetric lighting, but also impressively upholds a sturdy 30 frames per second.
