You barely have time to take stock of the idyllic Southern California setting before fire begins raining down from the heavens, destroying every car and home in sight as a shouty man commands you to follow him to safety. The first few minutes of Call of Duty: Ghosts don't paint a terribly accurate portrait of what lies ahead. Ghosts remains an enjoyable shooter no matter which new console you choose. But the next-gen lighting effects found in the PS4 version are very much present, as is the series' trademark 60 frames-per-second action. This is due primarily to a difference of resolution: Ghosts on Xbox One tops out at 720p, while the PS4 version looks sharper and clearer at 1080p.
Like many recent multiplatform titles, the Xbox One version of Call of Duty: Ghosts looks slightly inferior on Microsoft's new console when compared to the PlayStation 4 version.
