You said there would be downgrades (across the board?) because the alpha kit was more powerful than the retail units.
This game is being "downgraded" because it was first shown running with the highest settings possible on Pcs that were not devkits, and were more powerful than alpha devkits.
So even if you are right about the alpha kit being more capable than the final console, that game does not fit.

I wish DICE would just come out and tell us what the next gen consoles will be. Wouldn't they know that by now? Must be close to going gold. Just annoying hearing all these "rumors" and waiting to pre order or not based on the quality.

Dat political balance.
Watch your mouth, and this is my opinion.
I understand the open world nature of Battlefield 4, but they have made a ton of sacrifices and are putting in bare minimum effort on these console ports.
To give you an idea, even the Xbox One version should be running at higher than 720p in my opinion.

poor is an understatement, 720p seriously needs to die.

No? It's saying they are "aiming" at the same resolution / framerate and that final numbers are unconfirmed until EA/DICE will officially publish them.
Ahh these post. New hardware and all but hey keep on truckin
What?

Bbut... But... Dualshockers.com confirmed!
I was hoping for 1080p 60fps before reveal
Agreed. This reminds of those "Gamestop employee said" type of threads.
I didn't realize you work for DICE and understand the intricacies of console development to be able to make the judgement that they put in a bare minimum of effort.
No, more likely your just another angry console fanboy who doesn't understand the first thing about game development and so resorts to the typical "lazy devs" excuse. Pathetic.

NFS Rivals runs on Frostbite 3 I wonder if we should expect similar performance.
Anyway I would take this all with a grain of salt.

Are we comparing how bad the JPEG compression in each shot is?

720p games look like they have this extra coat of vaseline, so I bet most people will feel like they put glasses on going from BF4 to KZ and COD. In COD's case though, that will just mean you can see more clearly how shit the game looks.
This isn't frostbite.. and the physics and logic where developed for cpus that run at 3.2 ghz to cpus that run at 1.6. You can not just do that with out changing a lot of things around.
You can not just move code for a cpu thread to multiple threads on a whim. you cant move it to gpu compute on a whim.
It is not just about resolution.

They may be under an agreement with MS or PS to not give the exact details as it might have an effect on console sales.
The scale and scope of battlefield is so much higher than corridor stuff like killzone it's not even worth comparing the 2 directly. That's why so much processing power was needed to max bf3 out on PC at 1080p. More processing power than either console has. Yes this is a launch port, and that will reflect. But comparing a corridor shooter to a game like battlefield is never an accurate way to gauge a system as one is far more demanding than another.

THE PLOT THICKENS
Seriously, though...between all these announcements of sub-1080p games, games not running at 60fps, and all the games coming out on PC, the industry isn't doing much to convince me these new consoles are worth an early plunge. The games that aren't on PC or cross-gen this year aren't exactly barnburners for me either.
Upscaled resolution means that they're running it at a lower resolution than what the screen is actually set to. This can lead to games looking blurry and ugly if not done well.
Seeing so many games that ran below actual 720p that still had shitty framerates is the main reason I transitioned to PC.

It's a launch game, dude.
It seems that they have prioritised getting 64 players and 60fps this go round.
Won't notice the difference between 720p and 1080p? Lol. Based on developer (GG) testing, more gamers notice the difference between 1080p and 720p than they do 60fps and 30fps...

its speculation of the PS4 resolution....
but the confirmation is on the Xbox One's resolution... I believe

Not really it even says its not confirmation. I am pretty sure the Dualshockers guy even updated his thing to say " Take with grain of salt"

Ghost Games have already said that "one of them might stick up a little bit" with regard to the console versions, where apparently "that one will look as good as the PC" but that both will "look pretty much on parity."

Keep pretending everybody is blind. Most people can notice the difference between 720p and 1080p video content. Might have something to do with every damn HD tv these days being 1080p native.
People won't notice if there's no way to compare, but they will if they see other games running at 1080p.

Thuway,
Get out of this thread, there's no point with arguing with some of them. Sometimes, the only way to win is to not play.

To put it lightly, 720p looks like a blurry piece of shit compared to 1080p.
720p may not matter with games which have basic geometry, but when you have large maps with lots of objects, particle effects, high resolution textures and models, then you will bet your ass it will look awful.
Yea I can definitely see that. It's just the parity thing that kinda rubs me the wrong way a bit I guess. Then again, multiplatform launch title and all.
Was the X1 version ever shown running above 720p?
Who's talking about 900p?
What am I missing here?
The tweet from repi, which confirms jackfrags' tweets. The 900p I've read somewhere today in another thread. I'll try to find it.

Dice needs to show us the direct footage from both versions already. This is beyond aggravating for launch buyers. Launch is only a bit over a month away.
