Serious question here, if that's the difference between some multiplatform games this early on, will this gap increase or decrease over time?

Microsoft should have waited a year. This is embarrassing.
I wonder if the Wii U brought additional pressure? That is, if Wii U/PS4 were out this year it'd be fine, but Wii U was out this year and PS4 this year, so they need to get out before BOTH of them can eat their lunch.

I don't see the point of a longer embargo since the info will be out sooner or later anyway.
Well, at least now we know (not that it will end the discussions, I suppose).

I do not understand how a longer embargo than the other version because there are bad news about a game is not morally reprehensible. Someone said the problem with the gaming journalism is that it isn't actually journalism but neutral flavored PR and i kinda agree with him. Wth..

KI was always confirmed to be 720P/60 framerate, that was known since E3 and the justification was that Double Helix wanted that 60 frames per second above anything else.

Everyone else is under contractual obligations to say nothing, including Albert.


Contractual obligation from who?

Lol

Adam clearly stated it for ps4. so Albert is contractually obligated by himself to shut up and tell people 720p upscale to 1080p is same as native

I kinda called it! :d I was thinking embargo until release day though.

Also that boom gif has been run into the ground, find something new pls
 
Madden will also be 1080p.


Otherwise he is correct.


And just speculation... but since we haven't seen a second of ac4 of the xbox and ubi aren't really performance wizards... you can probably plop that in the 720p column also.


Edit: heh, I'm the source for cod. I haven't mentioned bf4 outloud anywhere so he is talking to someone else... or guessing - correctly.

Why the fuck would they make the XB1 embargo stretch out like that? Would that not be more controversial? MS PR/Marketing department seems so dysfunctional. They seemingly want to hide everything as if that will make bad news go away.

Time for Microsoft to just put all the cards on the table?

This is going to come up again, and again and again until they do.

Speak up, get it over with, move on.

Everybody wins.

Pretty much. All this cloak and dagger nonsense does them no favors.

The Xbone is going to be a seriously gimped console if you're even remotely interested in third party titles it seems.
This is really concerning if developers are struggling like this. Even when the PS3 was brand new developers never ever showed differences in quality as huge as this.

Albert works as an agent for Microsoft. He owes a fiduciary duty to Microsoft not to reveal trade secrets or harmful information.

Reviewers sign NDAs to get review consoles and games early. Those consoles and games come with restrictions on when and what things you can talk about. The performance of a console would probably be one as well as an abnormal embargo date could be another.

Both of these are examples of contractual obligations.

Jesus Christ... I thought Madden was running in 1080p on the XB1?

Microsoft, pack it up.
