Support NeoGAF

[Pain]

In all seriousness, do people still care? Unless you are literally sitting side by side with an Xbox One and a PS4 plugged in, can you tell? Let's say you can: does it really hinder your experience? Let's say it does: you sure you're playing games for the right reasons? Let's say you are: deal with it.

This will affect those looking to get a new console.

 

[Lucifon]

Would be good if we had a multiplayer screenshot to take a look at, see if there's any difference there.

 

[eso76]

Dat Aliasing in the picture is really awful

duh, it's not perfect but not awful either.

Not every game can be Infamous SS or Forza horizon 2.

Is it confirmed 60 though ? the amount of motion blur in released footage led me to believe it could have been 30 this time.

But hey, Youtube supports 60fps now *winks*

 

[Pixel Samurai]

I will wait for the Polygon review.

I will wait for the Polygon re-review.

Of course they do? This is a really silly question. Multi console owners want the best version that gives them a bang for their buck, so it's only understandable people want to know which version is better and with what it excels.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Can you name some examples?

I know Killzone: Shadow Fall was but that's the only one I know off the top of my head. I don't think that would happen with CoD though. Usually they lower the texture quality among other stuff IIRC.

 

[sense]

if this is true then I will concede that MS had nothing to do with AC Parity stuff.

 

[aaronwt]

Not really surprising. Both are max resolutions. Now we have to see FPS.
I bet it is 30...

I thought CoD was always at 60?

I pre-ordered the $100 digital version of Advanced Warfare for the Xbox One. I've always played CoD on Xbox so I saw no reason to change and order it for my PS4 this time.

 

[i-Lo]

Well, I play frame rate not resolution; besides, looking at their previous attempt with GHOSTS, xbone version had the now stable frame rate.

Lest we forget, all games on xbone are output at 1080p anyway.

If you actually have both a PS4 and Xbox One, wouldn't you want to know which version runs at a higher resolution? Some people will simply buy the version where their friends are, but others like to buy the version that looks the best.


Regardless of whether you think it doesn't matter to you personally, or whether you cannot tell the difference personally, it does matter to some people who simply buy the version that is confirmed to run best. Its that simple! It's not a case of whether you have to have both version side by side to tell a difference, many consumers like to educate themselves on items they want to purchase, and knowing the resolution a game runs at is important for many people, especially if one version of a game is going to run at a higher resolution than a different version.


I know this may seem kinda difficult for you to understand, but for people that have a choice between buying on one console or another, they like to get the "most bang for their buck." If you only have one console, it may not affect you at all since you cannot buy the other version anyways.




SO if this is confirmed, does this put to rest the whole theory of "Microsoft encourages parity on titles they have exclusive marketing deals for" ? I know that was a big argument for Ass Creed Unity. There were comments where people believed there was no way Microsoft would allow a game that they have exclusive marketing for look better on a competing console. I would assume this could somewhat put that to rest

 

[flkraven]

I could've sworn this was already confirmed.

 

[Pain]

And?

As long as the XB1 has my friends as an exclusive, it could be a million P's.

There are more PS4s sold so get ready to hear that in regards to PS4 this gen.

 

[Percy]

Expected.

At least XB1 has managed to improve on Ghosts... faint praise though that may be.

And?

As long as the XB1 has my friends as an exclusive, it could be a million P's.

lol

Please tell me this isn't a parody post

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Well, I play frame rate not resolution; besides, looking at their previous attempt with BLOPS2, xbone version had the now stable frame rate.

Lest we forget, all games on xbone are output at 1080p anyway.

Yes but they are not rendered in 1080p which induces blurriness that I know I'd rather avoid.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Can you name some examples?

Killzone SF is one that immediately springs to mind.

 

[NEO0MJ]

I know Killzone: Shadow Fall was but that's the only one I know off the top of my head.

That's because KZ boosts the frame-rate from 30 FPS to 60 FPS in multiplayer if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Portugeezer]

I thought that was known for months?

I doubt they would release a COD in 30fps.
Maybe SP but no way MP is 30fps.

To be fair, SP in COD games usually dip to around 40's at times and aren't locked 60 like the multiplayer.

 

[EhoaVash]

Ps4 purchase redeemed. Oh waitvi don't play CoD x.x

Blops2 isn't on Xbone.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

Shocking.

 

[dude819]

Amongst the contingent that matters to me, I am the only one that has one and it is not my main thing so none of that matters.

I just think P's and the constant digital foundry threads are tiresome.

The only thing that matters is whether a game is fun or not.

 

[King Cobra]

I am mega hype for this game and I haven't played a COD since Modern Warfare 2

 

[Gipsy Danger]

That's because KZ boosts the frame-rate from 30 FPS to 60 FPS in multiplayer if I'm not mistaken.

I thought both were 60? Regardless, I was just replying to someone asking if a game had lowered the resolution in multiplayer - which Killzone did.

If you don't care then don't come into these threads dismissing these issues. Some people do care about these things and want to have a discussion regarding it.

 

[spwolf]

i am not COD player, but that looks a lot cleaner than first release on PS4 last year, right?

 

[Handy Fake]

Blops2 isn't on Xbone.

Think he means BF.

And isn't aware of why PS4's framerate was a bit dodgy and that it was fixed.

 

[EL CUCO]

No parity bullshit? Thank you Activision/Sledgehammer. Time to pre-order the PS4 version

 

[stryke]

Killzone SF is one that immediately springs to mind.

If it is truly "generally" the case, you should be easily able to rattle off 5 titles.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I thought CoD was always at 60?

I guess so. Considering all the replies.
I haven't played since CoD4 so I am out of the loop.
I could see SP be 30 and MP 60 though, but we shall see.

 

[Ambition]

And?

As long as the XB1 has my friends as an exclusive, it could be a million P's.

No one is insulting your console.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Not really surprising. Both are max resolutions. Now we have to see FPS.
I bet it is 30...

Uhm, no.

 

[Nodnol]

Expected?

It'll be interesting to see MP screens and footage at retail, along with DF's analysis too.

When it comes to COD though, I think most of the fanbase will be more hung up on frames per second. Needs to have that COD "feel". That'll be the most important techincal aspect, IMHO. It'll be interesting to see how both hold up, in relation to rendered resolution against fps.

Then don't bother coming into them and posting.

 

[Cavalier]

So is the campaign decent this time around? How does the game play compare to the previous iterations?

 

[DeadManWalking]

Not really surprising. Both are max resolutions. Now we have to see FPS.
I bet it is 30...

it's cod bro. 60 is always their thing.

 

[Ramblin]

This will affect those looking to get a new console.

I don't think the thread will. Everyone on GAF knows the power difference. Again I'm not saying resolution won't make an affect, but another thread about it won't. As someone who hasn't evolved, I'm still weighing the pressure to make their platform more appealing side vs. the we made the better decision on hardware side.

 

[Newlove]

900p is fine with me. I could get the PS4 version, but I prefer the Xbox controller for fast competitive shooters like this.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Not really surprising. Both are max resolutions. Now we have to see FPS.

It's COD. It'll be 60fps.

 

[foxbeldin]

And?

As long as the XB1 has my friends as an exclusive, it could be a million P's.

Let's change the thread title to "Dude819's friends are playing on xb1" then.

Or let's just go along with resolution talk in a resolution thread.

 

[Ambition]

So is the campaign decent this time around? How does the game play compare to the previous iterations?

I actually want to know this..

 

[OverHeat]

PS4 version it is.

 

[On Demand]

I think it's time we move on from resolution and start talking about graphic effects.


OMG! MGS TPP is using Bezier Curves on PS4! And the GI reflects perfectly off Snake's ass!

 

[Slixshot]

Looks like enough people care, maybe you should deal with it.

I get the satisfaction of knowing that I have the best version between the two, and I can tell the difference between 900p and 1080p on my TV.

In all seriousness, do you even still care that some want the most out of their console? Does it really effect you some care about this? Let's say it does: you sure you're playing games for the right reasons? Let's say you are: deal with it.

I apologize to all of you. You make valid points. I realize I'm making an excuse but I'm running on about 4 hours of sleep and seeing another resolution thread, which is an issue that I have already formulated my opinion and solution for, I made criticism where I should not have. Disregard the post and simply have a nice day. We're still just talking about video games around here, which is a hobby we all get to enjoy.

 

[Shivvy_NTL]

But is the campaign any good ?

I agree that it is important to know which version is rendered at a higher res. People with both consoles should know which version looks better when making a purchasing decision. However, I disagree in the idea that the higher resolution makes 1 console the defacto option. I think things like friends, controller preference, exclusive marketing deals, and online infrastructure are examples of other differentiating factors that may sway people one way or another.

 

[RaoulDukeGonzo]

Enemy spooning confirmed.

Still looks good though.

Edit: Apologies to those who took my comment very seriously. I realize it was brash. I'll dial it back a bit.

MUlticosole owners last gen always bought the 360 version, its now reversed nothing wierd about that.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Not to rain on anyones parade, but isn't the resoultion on Multiplayer games generally lower?

it could be that the game is 1080p in campaign and 900p in multi

That has never been the case. Single player Multiplayer resolution is always the same on COD

 

[i-Lo]

Blops2 isn't on Xbone.

Ah, I meant "Ghosts". Thanks for the rectification.

 

[zeroyazi]

I will wait for the Polygon re-review.

I will wait for the Polygon chart showing CoD sales declines, based on unicorn employment rates.

As myself and others have stated already, If you own both consoles, and you want the best version, its important to know what resolution it runs at. It matters to a lot of people, so these threads are useful.


Remember, you dont have to click on any of the DF Resolution Threads posted on Gaf, you can simply ignore them and you will never know they exist. You will stay energized, and how "tiresome" you think they are will not affect you in any way!


But it looks like right now, you just cannot resist posting in them.
