Sloppy fucking amateurs.
This.
How the fuck do you not realize what resolution you're broadcasting in????
I smell bullshit, IGN. And I like IGN.
Sloppy fucking amateurs.
Wow. So they were both running in 720p but they literally said the PS4 was obviously running in 1080p. That is fucking hilarious. Also, again, how would this be a MS moneyhat?
How's that?
MS to IGN:
"Hey, use 720p feed for both Xbox One and PS4, claim PS4 is still 1080p, and gamers will believe the difference isn't as big as it really is because they'll see minimal difference."
Easy.
Soooo embarrassing.So they had footage of the game running at 720p for both consoles but concluded that the PS4 version was 1080p and looked better?
Proof: Nobody can tell, only crazies care.
I'll say it as plainly as possible in hopes of you being able to understand.In what measurable way does this have any impact on anything whatsoever? Especially for each and every person on this board. The answer is zero. Your lives will not be any different tomorrow because IGN erroneously reported something about our hobby for babies. In fact, your lives will also not be affected by the game running at 720p versus 1080p, because 90% of people in real life won't notice and of those that do, 99% won't give a fuck. "Mom, this game box has less p in it, this is some bullshit!" will never be uttered anywhere, and the concept is largely meaningless outside of this board. People picked their console before they knew anything about it, dug themselves into a nice defense bunker and have been spending the last few months stockpiling ammunition for the upcoming war of technological dick wagging.
This is why I stopped visiting gaming sites regularly years ago. NeoGAF is all I need for my gaming information.
You might want to find a different forum to post on, because you probably won't enjoy your time here.You know, it boggles my mind how much people keep talking about this. Call of Duty is a franchise for dudebros that play that and Madden. That's it. Why the fuck do actual gamers care about the resolution? Why do actual gamers care if Activision cut corners, and why would you be surprised? It just drives me nuts. They're bad games. Stop caring about them. You're like people who just can't stop posting about what stupid thing Miley Cyrus has done this week and how disgusted you are with her. Just stop giving it attention.
Saying it's 1080p native and doesn't look better than X1 at 720p before launch is a pretty big deal. It's downplaying the superiority by spreading misinformation before many choose their next platform.
It still didn't have the sharpening and black crush filter.The resolution was the same, but they were talking about how much better the PS4 version looked?
maybe i am misunderstanding
This is far from the worst idea I've ever heard.

Aside from the awful initial BF4 captures, DF's face offs have been spot on.

2013 has been a fucking incredible year. The crazy rumors. The loss of credibility among the gaming press. The resolution shenanigans. The 180 from MS. DRM
Has a console generation lead up ever been as eventful and hilarious as the one we all just went through?
IGN mistakenly published a previous side-by-side comparison of Call of Duty: Ghosts that did not contain the full 1080p native resolution footage of the PS4 version. While IGN confirmed the display output setting on the PS4, the native resolution rendered in the game itself was not 1080p for an unknown reason. The footage was captured on non-retail, development hardware running the final build of the game. After viewing, the retail version on retail hardware, it's clear our old footage was a lower resolution. You can see this difference more clearly in this new video.
Even a 7 years old LCD shows at what resolution a video is running, so if this was really a mistake, they should start looking for a new video producer, and how could they confirmed it if it wasn't really 1080p? That's something that can be noticed with the naked eye, and as I say before, even an old ass LCD can detect this, special equipment is not required to tell a fucking resolution output.

I should start my own games journalism site and hire only prolific message board posters as my staff.

What took them so long? sigh.
I never fell for it to begin with because i never paid attention to all the resolution bullshit.You act as if they all don't have the same agenda.
And you act as if we won't all fall for it again when the next big AAA title with questionable performance disparity on Xbox One comes out.
"Oh we were mistaken. Our bad. We weren't intentionally lying. We just suck. We won't do it again. We promise."
Oh yeah, I forgot about the upscaler.Unless the PS4 was set to 1080p and was sending an upscaled image to the monitor. It'd report a 1080p source then.
Can't spell ignorant without IGN!
Can't spell "Dumbass" without "IGN".
Too late. They should've caught this before the comparison was uploaded.
It's really not that hard to recognize that two times more pixels should not result in exactly the same image quality. Failing at doing even this, it's no exaggeration to say that their comparisons are completely useless. Oh well, guess in the end it's a good thing they finally admit to this, so more people are aware and able to safely dismiss them in the future.
Does not surprise me at all considering how much blatant favoritism most game sites have given MS.'
Sony PS4 reveal in Feb: "Mediocre, MS wont have to do much to beat it"
Xbox DRM Rumors - "Completely untrue! MS would never do this"
DRM Rumors confirmed - "They're not that big of a deal! Gamers will get used to them, and Sony will implement them too!"
PS4 confirms no DRM, $100 cheaper - "Well, er, uh, Xbox is still a potentially better value, still not that big a deal, uh, Titanfall?"
MS reverses DRM - "OH THANK GOD YES! You see, YOU SEE? MS does care about us!!!"
And so on...
These last few months have been really embarrassing for gaming journalism. Its honestly hard to think of any gaming outlet or personality that hasn't lost any credibility.
I don't think this has anything to do with moneyhats. Just a severe case of incompetence, followed by lies about being right and an unsincere apology.
IGN - Pure incompetence.
Polygon - Gies being the dumbass, pro-Microsoft no matter what, he is.
The people on this forum are so fucking stupid. Who cares about any of this shit.
