He did what Penello should've done. Not come here and write a wall of nothing while trying to downplay higher resolution.
I honestly think MS representatives should really avoid GAF altogether unless it's an AMA or something special.

Not in the least. But 343 does make a pretty looking game (and they have the ability to make a good one, not a few generation defining ones like ND)

I'd wager that this trend of sub-HD gaming will continue throughout the lifecycle of the Xbox One.
Quantum Dream and Halo are the next two Xbox exclusives that will run sub 1080p - mark my words.
Maybe because both are in no position to release games specification from a 3rd party developer. You can slate Penello (many have in this thread) all you like but he and Yoshi would be out of line releasing such info even if they knew it.
Yes good sir; everyone in this thread cares, or else there wouldnt be 100 pages of this...

Yeah maybe. Damn this is crazy.
That was a question. Answer the question.

What are the chances of MS releasing an Xbox One v2 that will enable true 1080p native support a few years down the line?

I had to sleep so I've been out for 50 pages, since Penello came in.
Did I miss anything?

At this point I'd agree. Sometimes it better to just let us forumites get on with it.
Not join in the fray. And make things bigger than they need to be.

I think your mistake was "Hi NeoGAF. I hate NeoGAF."
It's just more tiresome hive-mind nonsense, as if all of the thousands of members think precisely the same way and you're more of an individual than we are.
Given the fact that Alan Wake ran on basically PAL resolution I think that the target demo for Quantum Break wont be possible on xbone in 1080p. But thats what CBOAT said more or less, so I dont expect many native 1080p titles on xbone soon.
CBOAT dropped a truthbomb on him.
I don't understand how these people get jobs covering the industry.
Of course the majority of people don't care about 1080p vs. 720p, that's too technical for most, but if the evolving narrative is "the PS4 version of the games look better" then that matters, especially when the games preform better on the cheaper system.

Frankly I couldn't give two monkeys if consumers cannot notice the difference. IQ is very important to me and anything less than 1080p is usually a disaster.

I love how the immediate damage control is "bu bu bu consumers won't care."
Yo Benny, guess what they do care about... price. PS4 is $100 cheaper and has better third party ports. That will make a difference.
Sure, but my point is it will only matter if they care about resolution in the first place. Most don't even pay attention to it.

Crazy that a rumor started by one person can spawn a thread with 5,000 replies and completely turn around GAF's opinion on the Xbox One, almost back to the DRM days. I guess most people on GAF secretly wanted an excuse to trash on the Xbox One again, and now they have it?

That is not why the game was so low in res though, they did some silly overkill HDR rendering which was completely superfulous. eDRAM made them then have to render the game at that silly res (beyond also the fact that they essenially were rendering everything 2x due to their HDR technique).
Thx for update. He does get it then!

link? Translation?
Don't keep me on edge like this man!
Edit: Or I could just read the OP again.
That would defeat the whole purpose of the philosophy and naming of the Xbox "One"
Opinion on GAF has almost been pro-PS4 since E3. Nothing changed, this is the final hammer in the XBone's coffin on GAF.
They weren't looking for an excuse. The GPU differences have been talked about since E3. Now it's finally truly confirmed though with Xbox 720p VS PS 1080p.

You must have been devastated 90% of the time playing current gen games.
So this is what it has come to. Microsoft could be running into this shit storm with every major multiplat release if they're not careful. Obviously if this rumor is true, the third parties don't care about the graphical discrepancy, and will pay the PS4 its due in resolution, even if it is to MS detriment. Hoh boy.
If this becomes a common theme, MS might have to try and moneyhat the third parties into keeping their games at parity. I know that sounds crazy but what other choice do they have? If the public catches on to this, it won't matter how many friends someone has on Xbox Live, they will make the jump and tell their mates to make it with them.
Significant price discrepancy + noticeable difference in visuals = very bad news for Microsoft.

Does he?
On GAF at least, there really isn't any 'this changes everything' posts.
Yeah, i trust in PS4, not in Infinity Ward.

I was. It's why I abandoned my PS3 save for first party exclusives and some third party games in favour of a gaming PC.
So when you're playing WipEout HD do you stop playing as soon as the resolution swaps down from 1080p

I hate to be the bearer of bad news in this regard, but right now the reaction to the possible difference in resolution amounts to a fart in the wind.
I don't think the general consensus on GAF towards the XB1 was anything more than, "oh...they fixed some of the mistakes they made." I don't think it was ever really looked upon favorably, outside of (and I hate to use this word) fans.
This thread just sorta confirms what everyone has been thinking.

Know it's recommended specs? lol they're huge for some weird reason. Lotta people can't afford a PC like that dude.
I think is more like they cant talk about it. Its part Activision to confirm or deny not them.

Wipeout HD has great IQ despite the dynamic resolution. However, note that I said 'usually'. I would even play games that run at '900p' if they have no jaggies and have a sharp and clean image quality. Resolution is not the only factor involved in producing a nice clean image on your display, but it helps a lot. Now that we have entered this 'new generation', image quality is more important than ever. I have experienced the differences good IQ can make - average looking third party console games look substantially better on the PC.
