Crytek CEO: Ryse wouldn’t have run at 1080p on PS4

Disclaimer: He is not claiming that Ryse (in its current form) would not be possible to run on the PS4 at 1080p. He is merely stating that 900p upscaled was a design choice. More below

-----------------------------------
According to him, things would have been no different, had the game been in development for the PS4. The decision to go with a native resolution of 900p was purely by choice, and not the result of a technical hurdle. He goes on to imply that there is no meaningful loss in image quality due to it not being rendered at native 1080p. Compromising image quality in favor of visual fidelity via enhanced shaders is, in his view, a more efficient solution.

This reminds me of how creative Remedy was when they tried their hardest to explain how Alan Wake's iPhone resolution was actually as good as 720p in so many ways and they intented to make the game like that.

SSM humiliating Crytek at graphics would be rather amusing to watch.
 
crytek is not going to badmouth xbone.

and crytek will never say their xbone exclusive would have looked better on ps4.

does anyone really want to bash some developer because he "lied"? does anyone really expect crytek to be truthful and at the same time not tarnish their game and their exclusivity deal?

sometimes, people are just trying to find a way to hate something and someone. no one is going to buy that explanation anyway.

If they couldn't achieve 1080p while also having enhanced shaders, then surely that right there is a technical hurdle? They had to sacrifice one for another. Why would you simply chose to do that if there where no technical limitations, even if they are apparently unnoticeable? The dude makes no sense.

From a company that pushed top of the line PCs to their knees with Crysis 1, to a company that calls 900p a design choice. Oh how fortunes change

It's sad that Crytek, which is primarily a dev house that pushes PC to it's limit, is spouting shit like this.

I see Microsoft's marketing strategy has spread to Crytek.

If you have nothing good to say, be as polite as you can and don't say anything for fuck sake.
