Day 1 patch makes COD: Ghosts SP 1080p on PS4, is 720p without patch
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
See, this is why I almost always wait to comment on stuff like this; there is always a twist. This time though I almost made a comment about Single Player being native 720p, but one of the mods said that if another conspiracy theory came up, they'd get banned.
Then THIS happens. Best console launch ever; long overdue pent-up scandals just waiting to burst forth with life, you have to love it!
Don't think about that at all.

LMAO. Activision I commend your hard ass moves. What a fucking mess.
Well, I guess they expected Polygon to have seen this in 1080p vs 720p, not 720p vs 720p... If they had, they would have seen a difference. The fact that they didn't, and the fact that this didn't make them think, is somewhat embarrassing in and of it self - even if it's somewhat understandable given the information they had.
IW and Activision are the real idiots here. Both polygon and Gaffers reacted in an understandable fashion given the information they had. Those claiming there was a big difference looking at video and pictures though, gaffers and reviewers alike ... Should blush a little

Of course, easily (unless you are using 100% of the available memory without any option to free some up). You could also patch it to run at 4k. The performance is anyone's guess though.

So what the fuck where reviewers saying about the PS4 being 1080P?

I have to admit, this game has provided me with many hours of enjoyment already and I have no intention of ever buying it.

This is the first time I see a patch like this in my entire life. Ghosts is one hell of a mess from a technical standpoint. I've seen some YouTube commentators having a lot of technical issues with this game and some of them are on the PC no less. Infinity Ward went from being a great FPS developer into a incompetent one and I never thought Tryarch will actually surpass them in terms of Quality.

I don't see why people are outraged.
InfinityWard had a lot to do and they didn't get everything befor they had to start pressing discs, so the kept on working afterwards and add those improvements with a Day1 patch.
What this shows us is that a lot of reviewers talked shit and Arthur Gies was actually right

Its almost like MS payed them off for the prelaunch comparison. That would be too wild, right?

Why would they? We've had a month or more of "journalists" saying "1080p doesn't matter", then the reviews come in and they say "It looks the same on both consoles!" We all know 1080p looks better, so it was fair enough to summise these journalists were blind / lazy / moneyhatted. No one suspected something was wrong with the game itself until those comparison shots came out, showing the PS4 version at 720.
A very strange turn of events, especially for those reviewers who could "clearly see the difference", lol.

IGN's commentary on their comparison video is now pretty funny

I've paid a lot of attention. I'd say it's worse now. Single player modes are going to ship more broken than ever this generation. The single-player-only gamer is still going to have to be online or get screwed pretty bad. Hopefully I'm wrong.
I don't see why they would. The assumption by those that are reading the reviews but can't actually see the game yet was that the thing actually was rendering at 1080p, and there's no denying anyone that is worth being a "journalist" in this industry should be able to tell the difference. Journalists apparently couldn't figure out what they were looking it and relate that. That the PS4 was rendering at 720p doesn't change the fact that anyone worth being in this industry should be able to tell the difference between 720p upscaled and native 1080p.
The sad part is that instead of "gaming journalists" asking IW, "This doesn't look 1080p to us, are you sure it is? Our analysis says otherwise." and then reporting in the reviews, "We're not convinced that the PS4 is rendering at 1080p in SP," they all instead decided to perpetuate the myth that one actually can't tell the difference between native 1080p and upscaled 720p which is an absolute fabrication.

Thanks. I haven't heard of this happening before on consoles, I guess it's probably a normal thing on PC?

These developers... what is it? Are they stripped of their resources? Do they really care? Are they fucking lazy? Are they really trying their hardest?
I don't get it.

Nothing! I said nothing!
All those journalists who said they saw the resolution differences, what was going on there then?

Bright side: All those times Gies was saying 1080p didn't matter because he can't tell a difference... I wonder what he'll say about 1080p when he actually sees the difference?

According to Eurogamer multiplayer is 1080p already so that should be fine.

That is just... wow... they are essentially selling a faulty product. For people who can't just download huge patches, which is a great deal of people, this is disgusting.
And this further shows where game 'journalism' is, you could have a dev tell one that they made their game with gummy bears and rainbows and they would take it as a given.
