Both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 iterations of Strider operate at a full 1920x1080 and run at full-bore 60fps. Anti-aliasing is of the post-process variety - seemingly based on FXAA or an offshoot. On a general rendering level, there's very little to separate the games. Indeed, on first glance it's difficult to discern any significant difference between them at all.
Effects, models, and textures are identical throughout the run of play with just one surprising exception: texture filtering. It's not clear why but the anisotropic texture filtering employed on Xbox One is completely absent on PS4, producing a difference that once seen cannot be unseen - a distinct blurring of detail on angled textures that severely reduces detail in places.

When viewed side by side, however, it becomes apparent that some texture detail is compromised on PS4 as a result. Considering the minor impact this would have had on performance, it's hard to imagine that this was an intentional decision on the part of Double Helix, and we would hope it's a simple switch the developer can adjust should the game ever receive a patch.

Strider is a full cross-generational title, available on five different platforms. As expected, resolution is dropped to 1280x720 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, while frame-rate is halved to 30fps. Oddly enough, the texture filtering issue present on PS4 isn't a problem here: floor textures enjoy additional clarity on both PS3 and 360, suggesting that we're looking at a bug on PlayStation 4.

For owners of all three platforms it's worth keeping in mind the strange texture filtering issue on PS4, which does reduce image quality just a touch from the XO and PC versions of the game. In the end, though, any of these three versions of the game provides a polished, highly enjoyable experience.
