Watered down? Oh man...

Good news, this game is great. It will be a good addition for those who have been missing out

Slightly blurred
slightly out of focus

Or suggest some new descriptive words for non native resolution
Watered down implies that it isn't the full experience, which isn't the case at all.
None of those other descriptors fit either. The game looks great.
Think whatever you like, but its not going to be a magically better experience on PS4.
Not sure what you're carrying on about here.

Most satisfying information! Glad I didn't pull the trigger on the PC version.

I could tell you the reason, but it got me banned last time, so I'll refrain.

Yeah a solid 60fps isn't easy to achieve

still spewing that lazy devs mantra?
Why would stating that the Xbone is the weaker console get anyone banned?

Yes, they do, I have decent eyesight and a good Sony w905 TV that I sit 8 ft from when playing.
I can easily see a clear crisp 1080p natural IQ over a lower resolution one.
Non native resolution looks slightly out of focus / blur effect.
Watch dogs at 900p looks not very good next to second son. Luckily sub native games are not too frequent (watchdogs is only 1 I have)...
For PVZ, No it will not be magically better, but it will look better and its the same game.
This gen with Ps4 nearly every game is natural resolution and I am getting used to it as a standard, now I notice sub HD much more easily.
Back on Topic I loved Mass Effect 3 coop, I also play allot of COD, so this game has always has been on my radar / wanted list.

Watched some XBone footage in anticipation of the PS4 release, and thought it looked fantastic. How is the 360 version? I'd imagine it's pretty close.

It's part of the reason why people waited instead of rushing out to get XB1s for the game. It's not the definitive console port at 900p.
Over half of gaf is obsessed with resolution and frames per second, it's not just some one guy bringing it up.
Maybe playing laggy online games on low end computers during my teens made me apathetic on the subject; but I kind of space out whenever I start reading arguments about resolution.
Some asshole? It's literally in the thread title. Plenty of people care about it or at least find it interesting.

I don't think anyone ran out to buy an XB1 to play this game, but it was fun having it available six months earlier. This isn't exactly a game anyone is playing for a graphical showcase.
The Xbone won't ever "catch up" because it simply has the weaker hardware.
Xbone: ~1.31 TF GPU (12 CUs) for games
Xbone: 768 Shaders
Xbone: 48 Texture units
Xbone: 16 ROPS
Xbone: 2 ACE/ 16 queues
PS4: 1.84TF GPU ( 18 CUs) for games + 56%
PS4: 1152 Shaders +50%
PS4: 72 Texture units +50%
PS4: 32 ROPS + 100%
PS4: 8 ACE/64 queues +400%
You can't "catch up" if you don't have the hardware.
Watered down is the most apt term since it's Garden Warfare.
It's above 720. Watchdogs looks fine on ps4. So does battlefield. Buy it on pc to get some anisotropic filtering. The lack of that looks worse than 900p IMO. Too much resolution Crap on this site

This thread is far too large seems like the discussion has turned from PvZ to simply not PvZ. The game is awesome get it if you want it but don't springboard this into another weaker hardware discussion. The core understands the raw numbers already we have the charts, go start a 50% more powerful thread if you want to talk about how 50% that 50% is or whatever is the latest number people have settled on and im going to play a few rounds at my vastly inferior 900p, I hope my eyes can take the punishment C:
This thread is based on a PlayStation tweet that pointed out that the PS4 version is 1080p. No one is forcing you to read it or any other resolution-based thread on GAF.
Does anybody playing the PS4 version actually have a save file on the PS4? I've checked in the Application Saved Data Management section in the PS4 settings both locally and on the PS4 cloud saves and there is no save file in either and yet the game is saving my progress and I can can just continue with the game next time I boot it up.
It's not an issue a everything seems to work fine but it's not something that I've noticed in a PS4 game before and I'm guessing that game progress is saved within the actual game file itself for some reason which is fine unless you delete the game.
Does anybody here have the PS4 version on blu-ray? There must be a separate save file for your progress?

This game is so fucking good, it's a real shame that the thread has switched to discussion about its performance rather than its entertainment value. Although I'm playing on the One I was enjoying reading everyone's impressions from the ps4 camp and now that's been ruined by pointless spec-based willy waving. Sort it out you lot, PvZ deserves better!
There's an official thread for the PS release with a lot of happy players.
