IGN admits their pre-release Ghosts footage wasn't 1080p after all

I was also thinking about Sessler.
except they said it was 1080p and does look better
Its both.
There is nothing to find out. The PS4 is very much more powerful. Stop holding on to this dream. I myself has even come to the realization its only going to get worst for the One when hardware specific functions in PS4 gets utilized.

Michael Pachter and Eurogamer... IMO the only two entities leaving this unscathed.
And thank fucking God for NeoGAF.
Can't it be both?

As a fan of frames per sec over resolution, countless times I said I preferred 720p60fps over 1080p30fps. That said, 720p has to have some decent AA.
I watched the videos on a 900p monitor, and while the image quality difference wasn't massive, the edge crawl was a big let down on the Xbox One.
As long as 1080p plays at 60fps, I'm all for higher resolution!

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?
This. Takes the piss.
I guess their videos could have been used as point of comparison. "I can't see the difference, therefore it doesn't really matter". In actual fact, there wasn't one in terms of rendered resolution.
So, being hailed as "Well, the difference isn't obvious" they might have been under pressure to not correct their videos, and therefore divert attention back to the fact that the PS4 version of Ghosts looks superior.
Games journalism is just like saying, stamp collecting journalism. There are no rules.
Because...I don't even know anymore. People should take a 'looney' test before coming to the internet. It isn't even funny, it is depressing how so many human beings could believe utter horse crap. If someone presents evidence or voices an opinion refuting theirs, it conveniently gets ignored and the circle-jerk continues.

I think that's naive of you. It's not the written article that gets spread through Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and other sites.
Surely this should be the PS4 if anything?

Who needs publisher and PR support? I mean that seriously. Don't need review copies thanks, don't need invites to events, etc. The staff would buy and evaluate everything themselves, just as a consumer would. Quality writing would eventually make the site a hit I think.
But yeah, this:

Thanks to GAF I never visit game sites-- apparently I don't miss much.

The comments on the article...good lord. It's silly for console gamers to boast about having better graphics, but to outright ignore the evidence and call people fanboys for things that are factually true...come on. i know this forum has a reputation for being "pro-sony" but shit, even the proud Xbox One owners on here can admit there is a clear difference between the two. People defending their precious consoles are ridiculous.
Whether or not the differences truly matter however, that's a different conversation. But at least acknowledge it's there.

If there are eyeballs, publishers will support it. Maybe not all of them, but more than you might think.
That's really all I've ever been asking for. But even that is too much, apparently.
Give it a rest already. I know you're here to defend. Nothing to defend so let it go.
Ok, sorry I guess.
Defend what? I asked a simple question because people were screaming "moneyhatz" and I wasn't understanding why. Gribble put it in perspective for me. I think you might be barking up the wrong tree...

Really, when much of the pressure to go to DRM was coming from the major publishers themselves?
I imagine that Sony must have at least been nervous that those publishers would skip over or gimp their games on Sony's platform with the more gamer-centric stance they took from a policy perspective.
You have to realize that the world and markets are dynamic places and things don't always turn out to be in the consumer's favor (especially since competition is rather limited).

This is a very compelling example of why this whole "War" started in the first place.

Where is this pressure? Publishers seem pretty damn fine developing for it and praising it. My point was that this guy is claiming all journalists were in favour of Microsoft (which is bullshit) despite the same gaming press tearing the house down with applause during the Sony E3 presentation. Why don't you start calling out the people with conspiracy theories instead? Though I suppose there are too many of them.
PS4 multiplayer was always 1080p so they could make judgments off that I guess. But their comparison video using single player footage was hilarious. The words just don't match the footage.

Spot on. Don't forget to whole.
Sony sells a million but don't look into that, it's all about long term success. Like ugh, Sony really is the one not getting good news. It's always hamstrung by some dumbass obvious shit.

How's that?

I assume they "confirmed" the 1080p source by hitting the info button on their monitor. It said 1080 so they thought they were capturing 1080p from a 1080p source.

I guess IGN's "Brought to you by the Xbox One" deal just expired.
Lol, don't do it!
The resolution was the same, but they were talking about how much better the PS4 version looked?
maybe i am misunderstanding

Plus the video has XB1 in Colour-blind mode for some unknown reason.

Color blind mode is more striking.

Not really. Sounds like they were going by what they heard and not what they were looking at though. They're not technical enough to recognize the difference, I guess.
The example they showed with their video comparison supported Microsoft's PR line of "See, there's not that big of a difference!" that so many repeated ad nauseum.
That's not good "journalism".
Oh, i hadn't seen the initial video. others in the thread said they they said the PS4 version was clearly 1080p and looked better. Gotcha

Footage into a video editing software is weird, they probably created a 720 progressive scan project instead of using a 1080 project and just up scaling the XBO footage.

You know one version of a game is far superior when there's such a big difference on IGN's shitty player. Also funny it took them that long to backpedal.
