RUMOUR: Xbox One version of Call of Duty: Ghosts is 720p, PS4 version is 1080p?

I don't think it's so crazy. Seattle is just waking up and when this thread broke people were going about their lives and families, which I would assume is more important than a video game rumor (and should be more important than anything, really).

Now frustrating, I can agree. I would absolutely love to have an answer to this. Not to say that this particular rumor is enough to make me cancel my X1 preorder, but its conjunction with the rest of them sure paints a pretty bleak picture that cannot be ignored.

The problem is I think they know this rumor is true, but they haven't figured out how to spin the up scaling to be positive verses native.

Most people will not noticed unless the side with the 1080p version start marketing it, wich is probably what Sony gonna do.
Most people won't have to notice, they'll just have to catch wind of the message that XBO versions of games are almost consistently inferior in some way to the PS4 version (if it really works out that way). That'll be enough.

It'll be like megapixels for cameras.

right, sadly I don't have a PS4 pre ordered but there's no difference between the launch and standard versions so I can wait a few weeks. I'm fully in support of Microsoft but this was under the notion that they would be supporting a full next generation experience at 1080p. Not a sub 720p experience upscaled to 1080p. That just seems horribly laughable, and I can always play Titanfall on my PC and Halo no longer has its grip on me do to bungie moving over to Destiny. Everybody knows I'm a bit of a fan boy but even this is ridicules in my opinion.

Wow you read my mind.

I love the xbox but I'm not putting up with sub hd for 6 years.

Ugh I'm gonna miss halo and gears :(

I think that's more tinfoil hat thinking, but that is just my opinion. As a career-minded professional, even I want to get the hell away from work at the end of the day. Though I do think PR will need to be involved, since that is their job afterall.

Why do people keep treating Titanfall at 720p as a rumor? Abbie Heppe told people exactly what resolution it was running at on Xbox One this month (spoiler: 720p).

That list is missing Okami HD. That thing runs internally at 4K, then downsamples to 1080p. It looks fucking amazing.
 
Im late to the thread and can't post/read much these days, can someone pls tell me if it's worth reading the 6k? Is it just back and forth wars, or is there some meltdowns and fun stuff to read. Was this our Gettysburg?

Nothing makes up for Daikatana. John Romero made himself our bitch.

NEVER fuck with the man who made episode 1 of doom, you motherfucking kids best stop right now or the old folk will start a riot.
John is immune and for fucks sake the "bitch" thing was an advertising campaign someone else put together and just said "um ok sure give it a shot"

Doom young man, motherfucking doom.

Yes.

This is only going to get worse... 1080p PS4 now means 900p later... Now your hiting sub HD levels in Xbox One. People will notice.

Later on they use all the bells and whistles possible and the PS4 version is 720p.... etc...

I agree. If Xbox One is already struggling to hit Native 1080p right now, then it's gonna get worse for the console later on down the road when future 3rd party games starts to become more & more demanding on it's hardware.

Lower resolution, worse frame-rates and generally worse performance for most third party games didn't bother Sony, why would it bother MS?

Exactly, Sony dealt with two generations of worse multiplats in both PS2 & PS3. Microsoft however, want to act like babies & can't deal with the fact that they screwed up heavily in the hardware department.

They & their fanboys needs to just shut up, suck it up, & deal with it, just like Sony fanboys have sucked it up & dealt with it with PS2 & PS3.

The problem with folks around here is that you guys think everyone is like you. If everyone was like you, Wii would not have sold 100 mil+ and dominated the 1st half of last generation.

If everyone was like you, Wii's 480i/p res would have mattered... the PC would be the lead and dominant platform for every single 3rd party game, including EA's sports titles... Call of Duty would not be the #1 seller... Just Dance, Skylanders, Mario Kart, 3DS, etc. would not have dominated the charts.

Some multiplatform games will be 720p/720p on xb1/ps4, some will be 720p/900p, some 720p/1080p, 900p/1080p, and a bunch 1080p/1080p. Will it matter? To the hardcore, sure. To the soccer moms, to the kiddies, to the dude bros... not a chance.

It's not a question of power or specs or fanboy wetdream wars. It's a function of simply how many resources Microsoft is willing to invest to get to 30%, 40%, 50% or whatever market share their ultimate goal is. My bet is they are going to be willing to spend whatever it takes to be the market leader in this segment because the stakes are higher than ever and the value of the piece of pie they are after will potentially return more than ever before (because now we're talking *real* revenue from services on top of games... we're talking a digital pie that includes the itunes, the hulus, the netflix's, the digital games and apps downloads, etc., and more things in the future like ipTV, phone/skype dominance, etc.).

They will money hat as many exclusives as necessary... they will open as many studios as necessary.. .they will bundle and price drop as much as necessary... they will break as many fanboy hearts as necessary to beat Sony and, by relation, you the Sony holdout dreamer. Your salty tears and hate will simply fuel their fire. You will try to vote with your wallets and your voice, but your wallets/voice will get trampled by the XB1 gravy train laden with the soccer mom's and dudebro's hooing and hawing their way to a connected, metro-interfaced future.

You will lose. In fact, you have already lost.

Honestly not as many epic meltdowns as I figured, but this thread has been glorious.

Tim Dog had a pretty epic twitter meltdown.

I think a generation of 720p/1080p multi platform splits would be absolutely catastrophic for ms. And yes I think people will tell and care.

Don't know if that's the takeaway here though.
They will definitely care. Not about the specific resolution of one particular game, many might not even be able to tell the difference, but they will care about the general narrative that multiplatform games are better on a certain console. It will reach the mainstream just as it did this generation when the perceived inferior multiplatform-performance hurt the PS3.
 
The quantity of people that do not know this yet still argue in tech threads is disturbing.
Apologies for disturbing you................................ pat yourself on the back for being offended in this "tech thread".

As for the corrections from everyone else, thanks.

The problem with this post is the huge generalization that "folks around here" are all the same.

though it is not the only problem...
