COD:Ghosts PS4/XBO Comparisons show the same resolution (720p)?

PS4 is 880x720 from the IGN footage?

Isn't that the WiiU version resolution? Did they mix up consoles or something?
 
Would it be possible that the ps4 version uses the same texture resolution than xbox one, but outputs at 1080p anyways? In this case the upscaled 720p would look a lot like the ps4 1080p.

I think the video capture equipment theory can be true because if I'm not wrong the Elgato can't capture in 1080p@60fps.

Shit!!! IW lied to us.

this post right here is everything that is wrong with GAF lol

Dude, if I were you I'd refrain from making stupid comments like this. Gamers were lied to if this is official and that is NOT funny.

its funny because it fits his agenda thats all...he doesnt really have a clue as to what he is talking about, just what he wants to be true

I believe the 720p single player and the frame rate stutters on PS4. To me it seems like set pieces are very effects heavy and maybe the ESRam solution on Xbox One is better at that one thing, remember it does have a higher theoretical throughput so you could optimise it for known scripted events which seems to be a CoD special these days.

There is a clear color temperature difference in released shots and I am never sure why, Xbox is warmer and PS4 is cooler. PS4 is probably more realistic but not necessarily always better.

The multiplayer stuff we have looks much better on the PS4 even in shitty YouTube. My guess is without the Hollywood style effects the power advantage in the PS4 allows the higher resolution without tripping like a toddler because there are no scripted events.


Obviously we need to wait and see what real world testing says. Do reviewers have access to online play on PS4 right now?

I don't think the ohter theories make practical sense. Unless the Elgato HD automatically upscales 720p output it captures to 1080p?

It doesn't. You set the dropdown "profile" to HD 720 or HD 1080 then the slider from good to best.

The highest it will capture in 720p (set to best) is 15Mbps, 30 on 1080p.

if that the case...after the resolutiongate...this would be seriously hilarious......i calling IW mediocre developer from the day one...im not the one who was going to take cod as proof of power....

if is a mistake..who did the mistake..should be ashamed...
i think we will know soon enough the truth

My analyse
Ghost seem:

Solo (more heavy, FX, post-process):
720p on Xone and 720p on PS4 with more stable framerate

Multi:
720p on Xone and 1080p on PS4 with more unstable framerate

If this is the case, I bet the IW team were on crack while making this game

Why would they ever make the MP run at a higher resolution with a worse framerate? Why wouldn't you do that to the single player instead?

Multi is graphically more light than Solo (FX, post-process) = more ressource aviable.
Probably not enough for upgrade resolution on Xone (just enough for stabilise framerate) but for PS4 yes. the good compromise probably was a 900p upgrade for preserve the framerate but 900p need upscale with bad ratio, is tantalizing to push until 1080p for avoid upscale and offer a perfectly sharp image

lol calm down buddy

J-P some people were ready to part with hard earned money to buy the PS4 version believing in a complete 1080p experience. £50 quid! 1/7th of the PS4's price. With Quaz51's temporary analysis, if it becomes official it means IW/Activision lied straight to our faces. That's not nice man and definitely not funny as insinuated by TheKayle. :(

Man, oh fucking man! The epic evolution of this thread is proof of how great NeoGAF is.

I'm a PS4 fan, and actually have a copy of Call of Duty: Ghosts in my hand right now. But I still find this whole saga incredibly entertaining. Better than watching a movie.

At least the MP, which is the most important part, is still 1080p. But depending on the framerate analyses, and just how inconsistent the framerate is in MP, I may just return my copy of the game, and opt for BF4 instead.

listen close the browser....play the game forget about resolutions if u bought it for what it is...and not to count the pixels im sure you will get fun ...

that is the only way where u can get fun from videogaming....
 
I don't know if this was pointed out, but older COD games don't downsample at lower resolutions, but in fact renders at the lower resolution itself. It was one of the few games that got better performance from decreasing the res down to 480p instead of 720p.

the problem here is there are just too many variables...and people are taking absolutely blind stabs in the dark at what is the cause of the issue because there is really no evidence to suggest WHAT is wrong, only that SOMETHING is wrong...

as of right now there is just nothing to go on...and wild speculation does nothing but cause the people who dont actually bother to READ an entire thread (so many people) to go bananas...

Trust me, I know. I cancelled my XB1 pre-order and will be hunting for a PS4 tomorrow because of the whole "resolutiongate". I'm just hoping there is a viable reason for all this.

Very interesting. Thanks for the insight.

Does that mean that the framerate is more inconsistent in single-player for the Xbox One than the PS4? If they both run at 720p, I would assume the more powerful PS4 can achieve a smoother framerate.

Until we have the games on our hand and analysis them, we wont know what's going on. I trust the neogaf members resolution analysis more than any of the journalists' news. But what I can tell is once the PS4 and Xbox release....

Call of Duty lost its essence long ago. I was not going to buy it at launch, but now there's no chance.

:(

If they lied about SP resolution my copy goes back to the store just on principle.

Prime example of what I'm saying.

My question is why is IGN using such a Mickey Mouse capture device? Surely they can afford an atomos ninja or a blackmagic?
 
One day we'll all look back at this and laugh.

I personally don't care about COD and none of us will care for Ghosts by the time the next one is announced.
 
In this image from the OP:



I MUCH prefer the XONE screenshot. It looks way better. Clearer, brighter ... the lighting looks better. It's just my opinion but I am suprised that the PS4 doesn't really 'pop' after all the hype.

Gratz you're colorblind (for real)

It matters insofar as having massive bragging rights on your console of choice about having the superior version of the biggest FPS of the year. There's still an advantage, but it's somewhat diminished now.

Oh well, at least there's always Battlefield 4 to brag about.

Poor screen captures and biased reviewers. This is how the old "Sega Genesis has better graphics than SNES" got started.
