Smh... Is this another secret sauce thing?
Also one of those articles doesn't say what you say it does.
FYI, Ghosts runs like a 3 legged doge on PCs too.

The game looks like shit, we can all agree on that. Even on PC it's a shame.
Still, unless MS specifically paid for that, why would CoD devs ensure the weaker console has a better framerate ? It doesn't make sense at all, especially considering the big difference in specs.
After all, they could have gone with 900p on PS4, then it would have had better IQ AND better framerate. Why not do that ? Seems strange...

They both prefer the X1 version and thought it looked "great". They don't make a big issue out of the resolution difference, so to the average person reading that, it's not going to come across as a big issue either. Thats what I mean by storm in a teacup.
Of course, this is only one game....
They probably wanted dat 1080p selling point.

You don't need to worry about precision in CoD.... autoaim boosted to 11.

Do these people have 1080p TVs?
IW did say that MS engineers were on site during the development of the game so I can see them having better frame rate. Also at the end of the day Activision has a deal with MS to produce exclusive timed content and to promote their consoles when talking about COD. Wouldn't be shocking if they spent more time on the console that brings them in more money.

And they wanted that selling point only on PS4 ? Doesn't make much sense.
anyway. Please do not derailed thread. It is all about CoD Ghost wants to talk about the Last of Us? do it in a thread about it.
Isn't that Infinity wards decision and not sony's?
Why did you bold one and not the other OP?
No auto aim, just aim-assist.
There is a difference.

The thing is... the only reason why they have a good framerate is because they chose 720p for XBO and 1080p for PS4. It has nothing to do with MS engineers, just a lower resolution choice.
That's what bothers me. Why not simply choose something like 900p on PS4, then the best console at least gets the 100 % best version on every bullet point, as it should.
Of all games, it's strange that it happens only on this one, which is precisely known for its Xbox fans... Anyway.

They both prefer the XB1 version (even after admitting the PS4 version runs better) exclusively because they prefer the controller layout for the XB1 and the asymmetrical sticks. Nice try tho.
So far only Polygon is claiming that the XB1 version is technically superior against a wave of articles saying the exact opposite.

Why wouldn't they just run at s lightly lower res on PS4 to maintain a stable framerate?
Scaling issues on PS4 confirmed ;-P

unfortunately, we used to trust and think they were pretty unbiased and factual, but now? Can we trust them? Are they honest in their recording techniques? It's liek a cheating girlfriend, you can just never trust them again after.... usually you just kick them to the curb.

you do realize that it was about more than just COD right?

So ghosts runs better on x1 than pc?
Next CoD is sledgehammer games Treyarch's offering will not be till 2 years from now.....so I'm guessing Teryarch is the head at also making the new engine.
Meaning 1 more year still of cross gen garbage.

COD, frankly, looks like crap compared to most next-gen games. The performance is nothing to sing home about either. Here are PC benchmarks:
There is nothing particularly demanding about the COD engine. It seems like console ports have gotten worse with next-gen. I thought the x86 architecture should mean good performance across the platforms? Having said that, if you need a 7970 to run Ghosts at 1080p60, then you're doing it wrong Infinity Ward. You're doing it wrong.

Maybe Sony mandated 1080p?
Well according to an interview I read a few weeks ago IW did have the X1 version at 1080p and decided as a last minute decision to lower it which made me think that they were doing more QA testing on the X1. I don't care about resolutions especially on COD, but can see why its confusing as to why the PS4 version has supposed framerate drops.
I already have the 360 version and plan on upgrading to the X1 version. Other then word of mouth I have not seen these framerate drops so wouldn't be worried about them if you are getting PS4. To me both systems will run the game fine. Just comes down to the little things people prefer. Network, what friends are getting, controller, etc.

and that's without AA....OMFG......such a shitty engine, what the hell did infinity ward do to the damn engine.....

I didn't know Matt Damon reviewed video games.
It runs better on 360 than it does on PC.
I trust Jeff, so as far as I'm concerned this is just a matter of IW fucking up or putting more resources into the Microsoft versions.
IGN comparison video:

They say only the odd minor hiccup on PS4 regarding frame rate, smooth 60 otherwise.

Glad I got the PS4 version. It's about time PS got the better version, BO2 wasn't as good on PS3 (graphics wise)
I am! I think its insane to not include those. That is a feature I really was looking forward to. Oh well looks like I'll have to try them out on Forza.

The differnece is noticeable from the first second. You could guess without them even putting the console names above it. Having said that. It looks great on the Xboxone. The PS4 version just looks better on a bigger screen.
How big are the framerate dips on the PS4 version?

No it has that, but in some cases i prefer it over the blue tone in the PS4 version. It's ugly in darker shadow areas though
PS4 version looks better to me. Mainly the colour/lighting/gamma differences are in the PS4 versions favour imo, but due to the video compression, resolution differences wise, it's hard to tell much.
