As I understand it, a larger sensor size will require longer focal lengths to match an "equivalent" view angle as a smaller sensor. As focal length increases, perceived depth of field becomes more shallow. Which is to say, a lens at f/4 on a 4x5 camera will will be much more shallow than an equivalent angle lens on a smaller film/sensor size.
