The last several months have been some of the most pitiful for "games journalism" that I've ever witnessed, and I've been witnessing since I subscribed to Nintendo Power in the early 90s.
Proof: Nobody can tell, only crazies care.
This apology brought to you by Xbox One.
Lol
1080p almost makes it look like a different game.
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...
So they had footage of the game running at 720p for both consoles but concluded that the PS4 version was 1080p and looked better?
I should start my own games journalism site and hire only prolific message board posters as my staff.
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.So what was the problem here? IGN ran the comparison vids and sid the PS4 was at 1080p when in fact it was 720p because it was not patched yet? I don't see the huge blowout here. now did IGN confirm that the PS4 was running it natively at 1080 or just that the PS4 was spitting out a 1080p image? Big difference between the two. Plus also fuck Activsion for patching in 1080p!!
Games journalism has been my main source of comedic entertainment this year.
Once again Detective GAF proves smarter than IGN or most anyone else in the games industry. This is why you trust NeoGAF for your gaming information.

To be totally frank here, yeah the difference is easy to see, when looking at details on the screen. But unfortunately i can totally see why lots of journalists (in france to it seems) say "the difference wasn't that clear". When seeing the global picture, in motion.. most people wouldn't notice.
But i still think the problem is more about the 100$+ console entering into that 5-6 years generation without being able to render the first games as they should be. That's just a sign of disaster after that.

That's what most games sites are, they just skipped the forum part.I should start my own games journalism site and hire only prolific message board posters as my staff.
Yeah dude I get it. Totally what happened. One person says something = everybody sayingsame thing.
Laughable. Most people were against DRM and blocking of used games. Weren't these the same press that gave a standing ovation during Sony's E3 when they declared they weren't implementing DRM? Or maybe you just forgot about that one.
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.

the native resolution rendered in the game itself was not 1080p for an unknown reason
Ok, this is where my confusion comes in. So IGN said that the PS4 version didn't look better than the 180 version? I thought they said it did look better despite both of them obviously running at 720p.
.IGN said:When comparing the PS4 and Xbox One versions side-by-side, theres little to no variation in textures and effects, but there is a discernible difference in resolution. While both are displayed at 1080p, the Xbox One version upscales the game from 720p resolution. In contrast, the PS4 version runs natively at 1080p, which makes character models, weapons, and environments look noticeably sharper and more detailed. The difference is especially apparent on larger-sized TVs, where pixel density weighs more heavily in picture quality.
This needs to happen.
Pretty sure neogaf threads cover everything you'd have in mind. The only issue is that we're serving a small audience of enthusiasts, savvy to a fault, that don't represent the broad market of people who play games. You think most people care about 720p? So when we see this and scream "moneyhat", it more than likely just them playing to their audience.I should start my own games journalism site and hire only prolific message board posters as my staff.
Let me guess, you bought an Xbox One?
The only person I could recognize giving a standing ovation was Hip Hop Gamer.
