Not sure you get my point dude. Im not talking about Anti Aliasing etc.

I answered to your post.

Both consoles will have hardware scalers and those scalers won't really be different from each other.

Difference here will be that PS4 won't need to scale at all its games when they run at 1080p where Xbone will have to scale it to 1080p image from 720p.

There is no any possible situation here where Xbox will have better picture quality.
 
deep down? highly doubt it. granted, the screenshots they released (960x540) it's quite possibly leaning towards 1920x1080 (twice more) than 1280x720 (1/3 more). no one really downscales their screenshots to 1/3 less.

Wasn't Deep Down confirmed 1080p by Ono? Don't quote me on that, but I think it was the same time it was confirmed free to play..

Xbox one can't even run the next-gen version of COD at native 1080P... really MS? 10 years later and hardware wise it is behind the competition.
 
I, and in connection - all of you, received a boatload of shit about this. I got death threats. I got mouth frothing insults. Most of them included stuff like "you and your sonybuttfucking gaf".


So maybe I should die. Maybe we buttfuck Sony. But it turns out that I wasn't wrong. Thuway wasn't wrong. And those of you who believed us weren't wrong. We didn't just make it up because we love Sony and hate ms. We said it because it was true.



Feeling slightly vindicated. Been an intense week of hatred. Kinda scary, even.

Keep making GAF even more awesome.

Thank you, Thuway, CBOAT and everyone involved.

Crazy week indeed, but awesome nonetheless.

WHAT THE FUCK SONYGAF YOU GUYS ARE SUCK MP3S ARE GOD HAVE YOU SEEN TITANFALL


To be honest, this confirmation really says more about the resources allocated to this game than the hardware it plays on. This is the biggest franchise in the gaming world, in fact, the biggest franchise in the media world probably. This should be a case of essentially infinite resources.
 
All I can think of this week with the news on XB1 was to make this gif.

That's pretty good but would be better if HD720p was replaced by the PS4

Then it's like the PS4 is stealing 1080p away from the XB1

I don't know what side that guy is on anymore.... I thought he was pro Microsoft; but now he seems like he is just mocking Major Nelson.

Honestly I think he may have passed a tipping point and is trying to make the XB brand look worse

Because let's be honest if albert and larry could they'd take tim dog out back and shoot him

He reflects poorly on the brand

bish gets all the credit :)

Oh he definitely loves Xbox. He had a little bit of a meltdown when the 720 rumors were starting up, but he seems to have reverted back to his usual self.

I am looking forward to Digital Foundry proving that the Xbone scaler is so good that 720p upscaled looks better than native 1080p.

In fact, I'm sure they have already written the article and are just waiting for permission from Microsoft (embargo and all) to post it.

I totally agree. I have never been called "F*gg**", sand "n*****", and had my personal career attacked because of dropping a resolution :/. Folks be cray.

I get called the F word there in every youtube video posted on NeoGAF, I like to rub the word all over my body like a warm bath.

You guys did good, though. Somebody has to report and inform consumers, and I appreciate the effort.
 
This week has been an amazing roller coaster and it is only Wednesday. I've been online watching console launches since 1999 and this has been one of the best stretches for news in quite awhile. These two launches potentially might the most entertaining I've ever seen from a news junkie's perspective. The mix of good/bad news from each side has lead to quite a few popcorn moments while watching the forums.
 
Argh... to cancel or keep. DR3, Forza, Ryse and KI look like so much fun, though. But man. $500 for mostly 720p games... hard to justify.

I'm sad.

For what it's worth, my suspicion is that the heavy emphasis they have put on tessellation (sub-d, bumpy rocks...) may be one of the big reasons for the resolution disparity.

My other suspicion is that it's a forward renderer, which will typically have heavier vertex processing load than a deferred renderer.

Add those together and you'd potentially get a huge chunk of your processing time going to vertex processing - which doesn't scale with a resolution change. So if, hypothetically, on the PS4 they were spending 30% of their gpu resources processing verts - then if you cut 1/3rd off the total, what you have left after vertex processing will be roughly halved.

Hence the drastic resolution drop.

With that said, I have other thoughts as to what problems might be contributing, and these sorts of platform differences are almost always a combination of a many large and small factors. Long story short, there are a number of engine design choices that could prove... difficult.. with such a limited fast memory pool.

It'll be interesting to see if the level of tessellation differs between the two platforms.
