Okay, that's pretty funny. Explains why people couldn't see the difference between it and the Xbone version, and possibly implies that people who could see a difference are lunatics.
This is my one remaining question in this circus. Why were the captures across multiple sites seemingly 720p on the ps4 version? The resolution actually being 720p would neatly explain it.
Are they just trying to cover each other's asses now? Or was there something wonky with the captures? Or were some of them 1080p after all?

This whole thing is seriously making my head hurt. I just don't know what's going on anymore.
That thing about reviewers getting the 1080p version is pure bullshit. Facts:
- All the PS4 videos from the reviews are 720p
- Digital Foundry (Eurogamer) noticed that their version was 720p and contacted IW which said they would release a patch. Giant Bomb noticed it too and postponed their review.
Do you really think that Digital Foundry (no less) and Giant Bomb got the 720p version for review and the other click whoring outlets got the 1080p? Bullshit and lies.
If this was real journalism, heads should be ro

This game is a MESS.
I'll probably end up buying it sorry GAF.
He thinks it all is. He's quite clearly mentally ill, though.
That can't be real. Oh my god. Even Timdog looks sane compared to him. And this Parasite76 insider stuff is like hardcore fanfic.
Some people....

Greatest Consoles launch month in history of Gaming ! Who agrees with me Gaf
Scott Lowe: Hey Activision, Scott here.
Activision: Wazzup!
Scott Lowe: You know Ghosts on the PS4?
Activision: What about it?
Scott Lowe: Was it native 720p or 1080p?
Activision: Yes.
Scott Lowe: Sweet, I was right! To the Tweetmobile!

Awwww come on now. Last gen was worse. Hell, even the PS2 was just a DVD player for me.
At this point its hilarious - I laugh at the tin foil hat brigade as much as anyone, but seriously I don't think any journo is going to admit they were duped so what are they supposed to say?

Where else would the pixels come from if we don't download them??
I saw it, and the PS4 ver looked like it had more detailed textures. Could it be that though it is outputting at 720p it's loading higher detail assets ?

I think all reviewers reviews should be withdrawn for this game at this point.
Can only make things better.

i usually havent cared much about the Digital Foundry fodder for these next gen games, but now im interested in finding out if this is just a software gimmick to trick your tv into thinking its 1080p, unlike the PS3 which would show up as 720p as soon as you launched a game.

I agree wjth the poster above. All COD reviews need to be reset until the Xbox one version hits
This whole thing is hilarious.
So.
* IW shipped a game with the wrong resolution rendering settings, then failed to say anything until the reviews hit.
* Polygon is claiming that they reviewed code running at 1080p SP (although it doesn't matter because they used MP to compare and then closed their eyes during SP or something) and claim there is no difference where there should be.
* Polygon (Gies?) is claiming that XBone has extra lighting effects, despite IW saying that there aren't any.
* IGN is claiming that they reviewed code running at 1080p, but their video comparisons show 720p rendering as analyzed by GAF.
Please don't stop.

Posts like below highlight what people are trying to reference.
This could explain why Killzone SF has the same problem.
Following this video:

It seems to be at 720p.
These are two screeshot at the same zoom of a native BF3 1080p (left) and KZ (with artifact on the right).
I dunno because the multyplayer of COD ghost on PS4 is at 1080p native...
There was another thread quoting the eurogamer publication as well that I can't find at the moment going over the same thing. I don't get the disbelief being shown at all.
That is in response to claims that reviewers have specially made discs that are more up-to date than the already mass produced retail versions.

I don't intend to offend the developers but everything about this game sounds like a mess.

So answer me this:
If all these people are saying they reviewed the actual 1080p version, why are the videos on their sites in 720p?
Are they suggesting that the video footage they claim to have captured was from the retail version, and NOT the copy they reviewed?

I can't speak for others, but the primary part of my criticism for this situation is that people without reference material were telling people who had first-hand experience with the games that what they saw was wrong. Emphasis being that there was no direct information for the basis of the criticism, and the outside assumptions about the situation ended up being incorrect. Official statements informing those criticisms ended up being incorrect.
With respect, unless these same detractors had access to the games and a time machine to know the coming events, right or wrong, they were off-base if they made the sort of categorical criticism I'm calling out. Plenty of these reviewers demonstrated a lack of technical expertise, but they were also being repeatedly given incorrect information about the products. They were being admonished by people who didn't have the means to know one-way-or-the-other and who relied on incorrect info as part of their criticism.
Pointing at one review it doesn't apply to doesn't change the pattern of behavior, and (with regard to Noir) literally making a list of those who dare make that observation sounds like the behavior of a crazy person. Mind you: Some writers on the media side still sound more clownish than others after this whole series of events.
Just want to point out, real journalist have made worse blunders for situations that actually matter on a world level. If people want to keep calling any and everyone who reviews games journalists, then this isn't that out of the ordinary.

Internet to launch enquiry into garmes jurnalisms.
There is no software gimick...its called a scaler...
After the day one patch is applied to the PS4 version all will be as intended...1080p on PS4...and 720p on Xbone..the Xbone will however report to your TV as "1920x1080" because it will be scaled
Activision , Infinity Ward and Sony are the ones who should be criticised for not publicising this until they were caught red handed.
This is basically what it boils down to, early reviewers were reviewing a version of the game that wasn't going to be available in that form to the public, which creates a horrible discrepancy between what their review is and what people will play in their homes.
Props to Eurogamer for asking some questions and getting answers from the horses mouth like journalists should, jeez.

For people confused apparently:
* Reviewers reviewed the version that is 1080p PS4 and 720p Xbox one.
- Some could tell the difference.
- Some could not.
- One could see better lighting on the xbox one version, but didn't think to mention it in the review.
* At the same event, there was a different version which was used for capture. This was 720p.
- Nobody noticed this.
* The retail PS4 version is 720p for single player but will be patched at launch.
- Nobody has reviewed this version so it may or may not have framerate issues or better lighting. The dog is still assumed.
* The PS4 version at 1080p apparently has framerate issues.
- This may be fixed by launch in a patch to the version which is 720p and probably doesn't have framerate issues.
- This is apparently only in multiplayer which is already 1080p. But who knows at this point.

its unlikley that the assets are different between the two, it may be difference in filtering but in the youtube screenshot that you replied to the xbox1 does have more sharper final composite. so not sure what you're seeing.
