Jeremy Conrad (former IGN): BF4 and CoD: Ghosts are 720p on Xbone

Seems like part of the DRM is still in on what they have out atm that might be part of the OS problems. The interesting thing is the required time part? I have no idea what that means but this could be why MS would embargo till launch and no one can really do any early reviews?

from other thread. I thought embargo was due to buggy OS that prolite indicated
Kevin dent is right up there gies.

That embargo, Gies lied once again lol. Problem weren't the graphical differences, he said.
Sadly it will do very well in US !!!.

Microsoft is absolutely relying on consumer ignorance to sell this console.

Based on what we heard in the past few months about the PS4 and XBO, that's kind of what I expect for the rest of the generation to be honest. Multiplats will be identical on both platforms except for some performance issues like resolution, framerate, AA, etc... No real surprise here.

Do you know if there are any specific graphical differences between the sports titles since they'll be 1080p native on both consoles?

Very surprised at ghosts. What the hell are they doing with that engine oO
They're just simpler games. Same reason they run at 60fps on PS3/360.

I want a ManaByte for every time Gies speaks.
Just like they had no idea about the DRM stuff- oh, wait...

For COD yes, for BF4 he must have some other source.
Yep.
ManaByte called Neogaf a 'cesspool' in a recent article, yet his main source is Neogaf. This guy doesn't know squat.
I still think the rumour is true though, but we aren't getting confirmation from this guy. Just more speculation.

Why do people even care about Gies anymore? There are so many other individuals that do so much good and receive no recognition, yet his lies are always caught and GAF still talks about him.
Has he replaced Pachter as someone who GAF loves to berate? Let him be and let him enjoy the silence.

dead. i am just. wow...
If I had to compare both consoles performance/hardware wise, it feels like this would be the equivalent of the Dreamcast(Xbone) vs. PS2 or even the orignal Xbox(PS4). The Dreamcast had terrific looking games, but it didn't have the power the PS2 had, and it would show once the PS2 finally got great games.
Sure it'll sell out on day one, but that is some wishful thinking there.
Anecdotal of course, but I have spoken with multiple people now that aren't even into gaming who mentioned the terrible things that were going on with the next xbox. They don't even know what the problem is, all they know is that shit went terribly wrong and the Playstation is the one to get. I was blown away.

Haha yes, "identical".
What's this dude doing that he can just spill the beans like this? F
"Former IGN" gives me no indication of what he does now. I'm guessing he's out of journalism all together.
On the 720/1080 thing: blows. I play on PC for the most part but do play consoles for the few games that are exclusive to them. Picking up GTA5 at 720p on a 1080p monitor is rough. I can't see going into next gen and still doing 720p. What's that going to look like on a 4k 90" TV in a couple of years?

/r/xboxone is in meltdown mode. Bunch of maroons.
The hardware setup for the console itself likely has nothing to do with Kinect (at least, not directly) - it's more likely MS taking the safe route to guarantee 8GB of memory early on in the console's development which lead them to the comparative GPU deficiency (Need 8GB early -> use DDR3 -> need fast cache to alleviate bandwidth constraints -> on-die ESRAM -> less space for bigger GPU -> ultimately weaker system compared to PS4)

I still don't understand how Ghosts is 720p. it's not graphically impressive. the x1 must be a bitch to develop for.

Salty Xbone fans basically saying "if we can't have it, no one can".
Oh, this just keeps getting better!
I agree. But then again, what the hell do I know.
The bigger problem though, why the hell are none of the gaming journalists ("journalists"?) reporting on this? Someone has to know something? What are they afraid of? This has to be of public interest, and the fact that big corporations wants to keep it secret can't possibly be a good reason not to write about it? FFS, that is in and of itself a reason to write about it!
People are spending money on this crap. They should be allowed to make an informed decision.
The penny drops. Buckle up folks.
Amazing!

I think it's official... Xbox fans will downplay the importance of resolution and graphical fidelity until one game on the Xbone outshines the PS4 version.
Can a day go by without Kevin Dent being an obnoxious asshole douchebag on Twitter?
Well that's Kagari and Mort now.

Worse than I thought.
Although Call of Duty at 720p says more about Infinity Ward than it does about the new Xbox. Shameful.

Might as well get Ghosts for Wii U, same resolution, superior controls and off-TV. PS4 has the graphical edge though.

I understand as much, but with the power gap between the two consoles, I would hope they used some of that extra power to better the assets or IQ on the PS4 version.
