That's really too bad, thought it was going to be 900p.
Sorry for the uninformed question, but would pixelcounting still 'work' if these were 720p video's? You wouldn't be able to know if the game runs in 900p or even 1080p if the video's are taken in 720p, right?
It's a joke.

I'll admit I also called out comparing MP to SP as silly as I was thinking classic "apples to apples" approach - but on the other hand if the goal is to show MP better than SP... well I'll admit I will have been totally wrong footed.

Hard to believe MP is really going to look better than SP but if it does... oh boy...


Pretty much this.

But for the moment it's one guy's take on what he saw. I suppose we can judge for ourselves tomorrow. Would still prefer both sp and mp footage of both versions though - maybe some other outlet will have that.

Wow. From this to the prospect of having broken XBL for months, MS really did their best to fuck up this console.
 
well I guess we knew which one but now we can bringing away less doubts

Edit: Wait better then even the Single Player?...... fnsldkvnsksdr fkles! MS get Dice on the phone and tell them how to work with your hardware!
 
I wonder if the SP looks worse because it's 720p compared to 900p, which is a noticeable difference or whether it will be more than that an include worse textures, effects etc.
 
That's pretty crazy, but how do you even compare them? It'll be different environments, different lighting conditions; maybe there are some sp levels that look worse than mp regardless of the platform.

A one to one comparison would be much better.
 
I wonder how bad the xbones multiplayer looks then. *shudder*

To be fair he is a PC gamer (BG BF STREAMER), so he will pick up Resolution/textures far more than the layman, The Youtube quality should be enough to mask any real difference we can see from that.....shouldn't it??!!???

Less powerful hardware. Less time with final specs. Worse development tools. Harder to program for...

All these will add up to inferior multi-plats. Especially early on when everyone is crunching for launch.

I have never imagined a big company like MS will fuck things up so badly.

All of this just to release at the same time as PS4? Are they not thinking about what will happend in the coming years when the average joe knows his stuff?

Is there any wise man left on this industry?

If the gap is as big as this then they are really in a disaster fucking place.
As a xbox fan i will say this, They had it coming. Deserve it for releasing a fucking incomplete product. Sorry mod, Forgive my fucking words.

I wanted to dominate the living room. Then I took an ESRAM in the knee.

Still depends on what scenes he wants to compare. A technically worse scene can look better than the technically superior scene just by being more aesthetically pleasing and/or by giving the illusion of technological complexity.

"@jackfrags @preston647 he is not allowed to disclose anything until tomorrow but I hope I was trolling :p"

Relax, people. The "PS4 multiplayer looks better than X1 single player" comment was a joke. He has no idea.

He DOES have an idea. He has footage ready to be released. He just didn't outright say anything, but either way all signs point to the PS4 version being the superior one.

These next two weeks will be VERY interesting to say the least.

It's kinda like when Madden was 30FPS on PS3 and 60FPS on Xbox 360 the one season.
 
I don't know what to think now. I mean it's a hard pill to swallow. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

If indeed true though... mind blown!

That's not at all how I read that. The person making the joke was the person who hadn't seen BF4. the person who responded and hinted that it was fact had seen it.

The person who made the "PS4 multi better than X1 SP" comment is not the same person who has the video footage. The comment was a joke.

Oh, nevermind. Missed the DING DING DING.

He seems he deleted the ding ding ding ding tweet


Nope ,
That Nathan guy says what he said as a joke , frags confirms , Nathan guy says lol I meant to trolololol.

It's jack that's seen it so its irrelevant if Nathan's tweet was meant as a joke.

choosing ESRAM had become a big pain for them in the long run
maybe in the future devs might learn to work with it

also in the future indies might still jump to the PS4 first
and port later t to the XB1
due to ease of development even if MS follows with the same open polices

how the tables have turned

Are we having another 'difficulty reading twitter' moment? :)

jackfrags has made no further comment on this...course, the ding ding ding could be a joke like any comment could be a joke but he's said nothing to indicate that or retract that.

That's good news, Dice is really pushing the Hardware instead of going for parity.
Bad news for X1 though..
