People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Didn't stop them from doing so to Blizzard when they complained about the resolution of Diablo III on XB1.

Me too, unless they "screw up to 1080p", lol.

XB1 Version "Still being worked on".
Maybe dynamic resolution come launch day? Or maybe MS will send some engineers to the studio and sprinkle some DX12 sauce on it?
Whatever though...I'll take 900p as long as the frame-rate is solid and the effects are good.

With only one point of comparison it is hard to make a judgement. AA and AF will be worse on the console though. I hope that LOD and Draw Distance are being the main focus because the better they are the more immerssive it will be, having a slightly lower texture resolution or slightly worse shadows is worth the trade off if they can make the LOD and Draw Distance a bit better.
I would guess a mix of Medium / High, better than 900p at all high though, at-least in my opinion.

lolwut? How do you draw that conclusion?

Slightly less. If it were Medium wouldn't they just say Medium?

They said slightly less sharp. I said comparable, which means it's good enough to compare it to the high preset. Comparable doesn't mean as good as.

On my 65 inch TV I can see the difference.
On a 1080p display any non-native resolution is easily discernible.

So they aren't working on PC and PS4 anymore but on Xbox?
I hope Xbox version isn't what caused the delay, that would suck, but I could see it beeing the case since MS has marketing deal and might not want to big of a gap between Ps4 and XB1 version.

I don't think they explicitly said 900p for both, just that they were aiming for 1080p30 on PS4 but weren't sure if they would reach it. Turns out they were able to, perhaps because of the extra time granted by the delay.
From games like DA:I where the PS4 version is at 1080p but performs a bit worse than the Xbox One version at 900p.

By now XBOX900 should have stuck, I'm amazed that it hasn't become as widely recognized as Xbone.

I am just going to wait for the DF review of this game before getting it on my PC or PS4. I know I can run it on both but I am the type of person where if I cannot get slightly higher graphics out of my PC I may as well just buy it for my console.

Lol, weren't the console versions supposed to be an absolute mess according to some "insider"?
Either way this is great news. Now I just have to decide if the exclusive cloth map in the XB1 Collector's Edition is worth more to me than the performance boost on PS4.

I genuinely thought it would be to and yes I was going to buy regardless but this news is good.

Could also be the AA making the textures seem "less sharp"

Yeah I read that too, so I am surprised.
There are also games that run at 60fps on the Xbox one, so shouldn't this game?

Does 30 Fps actually mean 30 fps tho?

Yeah, could be, Especially if they're using FXAA.
Interesting. I will wait for official reviews and first impressions before deciding which version to get. If 1080p all maxed out on high end PC is not rock solid at 60fps I may consider getting it on PS4 at first and then on PC later on, maybe on a sale.
Can't wait to play this either way.

All other ps4 games do so this wont be any different.
How can this be? Microsoft just about closed the gap and as more and more games become equivalent to their PS4 counterpart, CDPR decides to underutilize the XBox One hardware this much? Kojima and CD Projekt have some explaining to do come Phil Spencer's next visit. I'd be livid.

We already knew it was running at 900p on Xbox One from E3. I believe they may still achieve 1080p on Xbox One if the current build the press played wasn't using the latest December XDK.

It seems like the trend lately.
Devs push so hard to get PS4 versions to 1080 that you end up having slight performance issues that you don't get with the Xbone version that's only running at 900p.
Could be different with this case tho, of course.
The resolution really depends on each specific game's bottlenecks are. It could be eSRAM, fill rate, or a number of other things.
I'm sure there are some, considering some people think the XB1 has negated the power gulf recently.
DX12 has not been released yet. You'll soon see the gap completely closed, don't worry about it.

Game development is not the same for all games and studios...
You can't just say 'X game manages 1080p or 60fps, so why doesn't this game?'. It doesn't work like that.
