In fact, image quality is virtually identical between the two systems, with only a slight variation in default brightness separating the two. The results are compelling: Outlast stands out as one the few cross-platform games designed to deliver 1080p and 60fps on both consoles. While Outlast is fresh and new on Xbox One, the game was first released on the PC last summer and this February on PS4. Perhaps it's because the developer has had time to optimise the game for each platform. And in these days the novelty of platform parity makes it kind of interesting to examine. In the case of Outlast though, developer Red Barrels and UE3 have come up trumps. Utilisation of the last-gen Unreal Engine 3 hasn't made much difference either, with cross-platform titles suffering from frame-rate or resolution discrepancies.

Sure, the odd platformer or sports title, such as Strider or FIFA 14, have managed to achieve this but those are exceptions. More than six months into the life of the new consoles and it's become clear that platform parity between Xbox One and PlayStation 4 is rare.
