I'm not overly obsessed with resolution but this is pretty pathetic given the relative age of the graphics engine. I'm not even sure how much of the blame should fall on the Xbox One hardware either. If BF4, a MUCH more graphically intensive game can run at 900p then that should be the minimum bar IW should be hitting with Ghosts.

You seem confused. BF4 is running at 900p on PS4, not XBone.

I'm highly disappointed how could this happen? What were they thinking about using ddr3?

[Seanspeed]

It is hilarious that Xbone can't run COD in 1080p.
Microsoft really dropped the ball

Seems a little of both to me, developer-blame and hardware. Its not like this is the pinnacle of what the Xbox One can do. We see other games, even at launch, that look much better.

I don't know why I'm bothering. These threads devolve into the console warriors coming out and pissing all over themselves and others. I think I'll try and stay dry outside of it, have fun guys.

this vindicates COBAT

CBOAT doesn't need vindication.

All that bullshit in internet were just tears for his bidet.

 

[Xater]

People keep saying cod looks terrible but I can't find any decent footage anywhere, where are people seeing the videos?

There was a thread just earlier with 8 minutes of the new game mode.

 

[Zombie James]

The thing that gets me is that CoD Ghost doesn't even look all that great to begin with :/ How is this even possible?

 

[Deleted member 8095]

The xBone will look better in the end thanks to the CLOUD-POWERED Upscaling Chip.

Spoiler

RIP Microsoft

There is a good thread in the off topic about forum behavior. You should check it out.

Doubt this is an issue of specs, more on the dev.

Ryse looks leagues better and is running at 900p, and Forza 5 is 1080p native. A lot of devs are finding the ESRAM complicated at launch, but they'll iron out the kinks as we go forward.

Yeah, rumor is the dev tools are behind schedule, but still, it's really going to hurt their image at launch I think.

 

[Sioen]

Wat

 

[Domino792]

Look at the framerates

.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Wii U is pretty close in cost to the PS4.

And lets not pretend like this is the archetypal Xbox One game. Forza is 1080p and Ryse looks perfectly next-gen.

I think looking at the game, its hard to blame this entirely on the hardware.

$100 cheaper is hardly close, much like $100 more expensive is hardly close.

In any case, I say the hardware is absolutely to blame in the case of multiplatform games. The Xbone will have to compete with the PS4 visually and devs will have to cut the resolution to have parity (or close as possible) with its framerate and effects.

The hardware is what it is.

 

[Erasus]

Maybe devs will overcome the issues with using the ESRAM as they did with the Cell CPU in the PS3.

The thing with the Cell is that it turned out to be more powerful than the 360 CPU. The XOne will have amazing looking games, but ESRAM will always be a hinderance comapred to having 5GB GDDR5 in the PS4.

Just like how the split RAM pool and RSX (dev kits had 6800GT in SLI never forget (( http://www.edepot.com/playstation3.html#Early_PS3_Models) was a bit of a hinderance this gen for PS3.

 

[Radec]

And to think Ghosts doesn't even come close to BF4.

what the fuck IW/MS.

I'm highly disappointed how could this happen? What were they thinking about using ddr3?

Don't blame the DDR3.

Blame MS' intentions for the system.

Ryse is 900p but locked to 30fps
CoD has max fps to 60, yeah don't believe it will be 60fps always or locked, but frame rate can go up so it makes sense

 

[Majanew]

I hope Xbox One doesn't last as long as the 360 has. You need to kill this damn console in about 4 years, MS. Ugh. Take your specs fucking serious for games next time. Fuck ups.

 

[shinobi602]

ahahhaha

Oh shinobi.

Game doesn't even look demanding though. It's a 1.3TF GPU in there and 8GB of RAM. 1080p shouldn't be a problem. I've talked to a couple devs about the ESRAM causing problems, it's going to be ironed out in the future (even according to CBOAT).

 

[Backfoggen]

That PS4 footage looked so static and bad, its mindblowing they couldn't get it to run at a higher res than 720p.

Exclusive 900p linear game at 30fps in CryEngine vs Multiplat 720p cod at 60fps

Exclusives will always be ahead than multiplats

OT: Mad props for them for coming out clean and getting it out of the way. Good show

 

[ambar_hitman]

Real question is:

WHAT IS THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE between COD Ghosts Xbone and 360 version?

 

[madmackem]

Already happening on twitter.

Or the new one, "If you care about gfx then get it on pc". Man the downplaying by some is fucking sickening, just say yep its better on one but still the same game overall instead of telling me how to think.

xb1 is weaker and harder to develop for.
Sega managed to port bayonetta on ps3 at 30fps, vs 60 on 360, this is the same stuff.

I really dont think this game should have problems, running at 900p on xbox.

 

[El_Chino]

I bet next year's CoD will bump up to 900p on XB1.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

...60fps?

Have you seen Ghosts?

 

[SuperD77]

BF4 is 720p on Xbone.

You're right I'm an idiot, for some reason I was thinking it was 1080p PS4 and 900p XB1.

 

[Binabik15]

Yeah the pixels are so small on 1080p. It's really hard for me to see them.

I love playing games on low resolution and here is why

What I'm most excited about in DF articles? I want to see if a PS4 advantage is downplayed, but a 2 fps higher average or something like that makes the 360 version obliterate the PS3 in their "professional" opinion.

 

[diamount]

Yep. I guess PS4 and Xbone are significantly more powerful than high end PCs because NBA 2K14 on Next gen looks a lot better than the PC version. One game determines the power of a platform obviously.

You're not comparing the right games.

 

[zpiders]

This is sad. The Xbone version is closer to current gen consoles than it is to the PS4.

 

[plasmawave]

I'm still waiting for the truth to come out, Nelson.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

720p is more like a high class movie. 1080p is like a bavarian comedy show or video game.

 

[dark10x]

Doubt this is an issue of specs, more on the dev.

Ryse looks leagues better and is running at 900p, and Forza 5 is 1080p native. A lot of devs are finding the ESRAM complicated at launch, but they'll iron out the kinks as we go forward.

Ryse is 30 fps and from one of the most technically competent developers on the planet.

Forza 5 is such a different type of game, really, that it becomes difficult to compare.

We really can't say for sure at this point, of course, but it's not a good sign. The difference between 720p and 1080p is greater than the difference between 480p and 720p, after all.

This is sad. The Xbone version is closer to current gen consoles than it is to the PS4.

Well, in terms of resolution this is true, but let's wait and see what other differences are present. I can't imagine that the Xbone version of CoD is simply a slightly higher resolution duplicate of the 360 game. As unimpressive as it looks they ARE still doing some additional visual stuff for PS4, XB1, and PC.

 

[beast786]

No-one outside of gaming enthusiasts on forums will care.

Call of Duty would sell if they released a SNES version...lol

Then no one outside of gaming enthusiasts will be buying on Next Gen.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

This just gets better and better. I got banned from another forum for saying this kind of stuff back when the Xbox specs leaked after being branded a "troll". Vindicated.

I have a feeling Crytek was given the latest and greatest dev kits and drivers before most other studios. Also... the frame rates are different.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Again, I really hope Insomniac's game don't suffer much. Insomniac are good at figuring out strengths of consoles, maybe they will surprise everyone on Xbox One now that expectations of the system will be lowered. However when Insomniac become a big player because of their skill they could become xbox exclusive as MS will want to keep them close (Epic games). For that one franchise at least.

[phosphor112]

It is a sad state of affair when Call Of Duty cannot run at 1080p at launch. Next gen isn't new, it is just an extension of current gen.

But it does run at 1080p. Just not on the weaker hardware.

 

[Pop]

Now we just need to see comparisons. Cause they both gonna look shitty.

 

[AndyD]

Nice transparency. +1

Ditto. No need for pixel counting.

[opticalmace]

Gotta move the couch back now.

<picture of Wii U outside looking in... is actually playing XB1 at 720p>

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Look at the framerates

Even then, the game does not look very demanding. In fact, it looks bad (barely any better than the other CODs). I think it's a combination of those rumors that dev tools aren't where they need to be on the Xbone along with time constraints to meet the launch deadline. Either way, MS dropped the ball. Maybe next year.

 

[gruenel]

Today is shitty news day for both MS and Sony fans, lol.
