You may be right I never read the multiplayer thread. That said I want the proof. Show me one post were someone claimed the resolution was a lie. If the loss was that big a deal people would have been all over that shit.
Well, NeoGAF isn't a good place to get those quotes. Comparatively, we're taking this really well. Compared to some
other places. So what we have here, is a type of rendering/displaying that has no name what-so-ever. Apparently it's not 1080i or 1080p. Still down for the 1080π classification.
This has made me want to finish the campaign.
I game on PC exclusively and I've often voiced my distaste for many of Microsoft's policies, so I hope that people will not attribute the things I'll say below to some sort of pro-MS agenda. My post history should be evidence enough of the contrary.
As someone who is neutral in this console war, I believe that for some reason Sony and the PS4 are getting quite a few "free rides" from regular gamers here on GAF, from the press as well as from the industry insiders that frequent these forums. The situation with Killzone's resolution (and frame rate, since it seems it's usually nowhere near 60fps) and especially the fact that it took so many months for the truth to come out is in my opinion pretty telling.
The one question I would like answered is this: GAF insiders blew the lid off the resolution situation of pretty much every single nextgen launch game. No one, not a single one of them had the connections or the inside knowledge to find out the Killzone thing until now? Not CBOAT, not famousmortimer, not thuway, not a single one? Doesn't anyone find this weird?
Probably because Guerrilla Games refers to it as 1080p also. It's not really a thing that can be "found out". And even if they did, what were they going to say?
We can't even decipher the terminology to properly decode this. I doubt any of our insiders could either. And lastly, I don't think there was anything to find out. The games been out since November. We've been playing this game and only now did someone make the claim that it runs at 960 x 1080. Which isn't
technically true.
On the free ride thing? Probably. They have a lot of goodwill stored up from basically "being not Microsoft". But can you blame us? But alas, when Sony does something wrong, Sony gets bashed on it. It just doesn't happen often these days.
