Performance Analysis: Multiplayer on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare(PS4/XB1)

I feel like that's kinda ridiculous. PC players in any competitive game deal with this sort of thing all the time and I've never heard anyone complain about it.
I was considering getting this on X1 because I too love the controller. But I found out the X1 controller doesn't have impulse triggers for most third party multiplats. IMO they make shooting games much better. So without that I was swayed back to PS4 for the better resolution and performance.
I really wanted to convince myself to get it on X1. I had just got done playing Sunset for a week, and LOVED IT. It reminded me how much I liked the X1 controller, and the system. And it bums me out that it's always collecting dust. But I figure, I'll be getting MCC and that is a major FPS...and will have the impulse triggers (seeing as its MS). So I'm okay with getting COD on PS4.
I'll be getting Unity and GTA on PS4 though too. So I'm kind of wondering what I can get on X1 outside of MCC =/
That makes way too much sense. I'll pay attention tonight
That comment was specifically talking about framerate.
They mention resolution afterwards in the article, which I'm betting you haven't actually read or else we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Hmmmm wat??
We do read the text, the subtext is what DF makes its clicks on. People care about the subtext more often than not. Eurogamer should get competition for these kind of articles and clicks - otherwise you're stuck with their monopoly for "performance analyses" and whichever way they chose to present the info.
on a serious note is great both platforms hold their target on MP, this is where it is important

I never thought of that, I actually chuckled reading that, lol.
Well you can't (or shouldn't) lock resolutions on a PC but it can be an handicap. With better resolution you see your enemies more clearly in the distance for example. Not saying it's a massive advantage but it's still an advantage.
I'm not sure if you are making fun of what I said or not.
What you do is no PC is turn some of the gfx settings setting to low. Really give you an advantage way more than some resolution increase.

No, no. never thought of it that way. I just had an image of a guy going for a kill and things got all blurry, just a mental picture. It reminded me of some of the gifs I'd seen around here.
But that doesn't mean the resolution itself can't give you an advantage.
Okay then lol I wasn't sure what you meant.
But yeah, obviously it wouldn't be very pronunced since the resolution isn't that different but the effect might've been a little jarring and in the heat of a battle might not be that good, specially if the opponent isn't affected at the same time.

You forgot to add screen tearing.the irony is how some people are exaggerating the difference between 50fps and 56fps
in the same way people here post things like this for 900p.

Sooo after all the gloating yesterday by certain posters the ps4 version is actually the more technically accomplished cod experience. Not surprised those peeps have gone M.I.A for this thread. tsk, tsk.

Are you saying Frame rate + screen tearing>resolution?

It is indeed, and i was lambasted yesterday because i dared to list the advantages of each one (PS4 came out on top).
I was hesitant to buy this game on the xbox one (since that's where my friends are playing it on). But I'm surprised that the resolution doesn't bother me as much as it usually does. Having fun playing the game with my buddies makes me not care about all this resolution/FPS crap.

The game is V-synced on my XB1, zero tearing and 60fps glory.
So yeah.
I'd take Framerate > Resolution
Every time.
Nothing personal but I think that is my favorite GAF phrase of 2014.

I still have yet to see any tearing in campaign or in multiplayer

No, you were lambasted yesterday for playing copypasta with a single post of yours three times, on three separate pages.
While some of the items you listed could have been considered fact, you then chose to rank them by order of importance based on your opinion. Then you tried multiple times to pass that off as the absolute truth while at the same time trying to convince people that you had no hidden agenda, when multiple people quickly noticed otherwise.
That's why you were lambasted. Let's keep things truthful now.
If you want, I can go through your post history and detail every step of what occurred. (Hint: You don't want me to do that.)

considering everyone who seriously games has a 1080p tv. 1080p is really important. rather take a few drops in frame than have the whole game at 900p

I have purchased COD: Advanced Warfare for PC and the XBox One and I am really happy with the Multiplayer Mode 
Wow, you should sell your magical XB1 to the Digital Foundry guys, so they can do another face off.
Digital Foundry said:
So you'd take an imperceptible maybe 1 fps average advantage over a 40% increase in resolution and no crushed blacks?
That's cool.
If future games use the same ancient engine.

Good thing the ps4 has got you covered on both, heh?

No threat was intended. I'm just playfully reminding him what actually happened, because he seems to have forgotten.

I don't even know who you are.
I just happen to remember you from the other article last night, and I'm calling you on your claim that you were totally innocent.
Don't hide from your agenda. Own it.

So, ultimately PS4 has the better version; news at 11.
Imperceptible framerate dips that rarely happen in single player and not really at all in multiplayer. Plus it has better resolution, IQ, and no crushed blacks. It's a no brainer if you own both consoles.

What am i guilty of?, posting facts?, am i the first gaffer to post the same information on a different page for those that might have missed it (quoting myself for the new page)? A: I'm not.
And i'm in no way upset, i am however baffled by your apparent fixation with me and my seemingly unforgiveable sins.
Let's not derrail the thread, if you feel like saying something PM me... toodles!!!

PM me if you have something else to say, this thread isn't about me and you. I don't want to risk a ban.
I have both consoles but like most games, I ended up with it on the X1. Mainly due to digital game sharing with my friend and the super cheap and easy way of buying off other storefronts. $50Au is all I spent and my friend gets a 'copy' too. Resolution be damned for a bargain!
Btw, apart from the crushed black issue, I really can't see any difference. Maybe Im old and blind.

How variable is this "variable resolution" on the XB1?
It's removed entirely from multi-player, and euro gamer has one image, from an empty room, of it in single player.

It varies from 1360x1080 to 1920x1080 during SP, depending on action on screen, and stays at 1360x1080 at all times during MP.
1360x1080 scales better than straight up 900p, but it's still a scaling method, so there's side-effects of that.

We know it varies, according to PR, but has anyone actually witnessed this variation? Like euro gamer says an empty room runs at 1080, that's not varying because of action, that's running at 1080 because there's fuck-all to render. Does it actually vary when you're in the battlefield and there's calm?
