No one capable of refuting this rumor would let it fester for so long. The silence is very telling.

First cesspool, now turds. :'(
Yeah agreed. 1080p is 2.25x the pixels as 720p. That's far more than just the power differences. The combination of power, efficiency, ease of development, and mature tools in the PS4 are making a huge difference out of the gate. I think resolutions will get closer throughout the gen but as devs get better at PS4 as well they may have more eye candy instead of massively improved resoluton.
Sony and Activision also have a major agreement for Destiny. Activision is less invested in MS now that EA and MS have gotten close. This is the first time in a generation that CoD wasn't shown at the MS conference but BF4 was.

I know 3 people who have preorded XB1. Every single time I try and tell them that it is a half baked device.. I can never convince them (KI is looking to be the only game on it which impresses me froma gameplay perspective even if it is 720p (dear jesus, 720p)).
I wonder what they think of this.
Who knows?
You know what he means. The games are going to have to be so much better as opposed to PS4 as to completely negate everything that has happened to Microsoft. DRMgate, this drama with the power discrepancy, Sportsbox 720....
Do you really see the games being that good? I don't.

No Different then buying a new truck. You find out that in the new model year they didn't address customer concerns , or changed something . You can always change to another manufacturer that is building the truck that the consumer wants.
The XB1 and PS4 both do the same thing...play games. So moving from one console to another is not such a big leap. The point is if you are going to get a gaming console you want the Best bang for your buck. Brand Loyalty comes into play when you are looking at two similar specked systems. Unfortunately for MS these are not similarly specked.
I jumped ship this gen and that decision is looking better day by day.

Wow... just wow... Another bad day incoming for MS employees in Redmond. Damage control incoming...
Exactly, just go ask Bethesda who couldn't even figure it out through an entire generation...
Again, makes this more likely than not, but not a confirmation by any means.

Nope, but where there is smoke....
Yeah I remember those days. When I was a 360 fanboy and relentlessly rallied against Killzone and PS3 exclusives. You grow out of it. At least most of us do.
It'll only get worse once everyone has laid down 400+ on these consoles and they'll need to start justifying their purchases online.
I'm kind of happy I can't get PS4 day one, now I'll have more time to read GAF!

Gave me a great mental picture right there lol
That was PS3's split RAM causing Skyrim's problems.
There's a raging inferno where MS are concerned.
They could be. Early 360 had some damn good exclusives. The point he's trying to make is that it's crazy to him that games aren't number one on everyone's list to begin with. Which I agree with.

It doesn't matter, at all. Unless it is perfectly divisible (i.e. like how Apple doubled the X and Y resolution when they made retina iPhones) there will always be a scaling blur.
Ask any LCD-toting PC gamer: they would rather take a hit in any other area before losing 1:1 pixel mapping. Scaling is a horrible way to make up for shortcomings. Hell, I'd take black borders and letterboxes before any kind of scaling, this is 2013, 2005 solutions have no place in new consoles.
Based on the cancellation tweet, acceptance can be ticked too. Time for him to begin the recovery process and get a PS4.
I love how dismissive he is. Basically looking down on everyone it seems - it is impossible to be concerned about the performance of a next gen console, it can only be from whiners.
MS will have a tougher time negotiating anything if they lose market leadership to Sony in US at least.
I have to ask - why would you write a never-ending message on an Internet forum about an upcoming game (I'm referring to the MGS4 OT OP) if not some fanatical brand loyalty?

If NBA 2k14 is also 720p ..... Fijhngcsdbg!
To the people who say this won't matter if true: Lots of people who play COD buy $100-200 headsets just to get a slight advantage on the direction a sound is coming from. Of course they're going to care that they can tell that little clump of pixels in the distance is a player or a plant.
There's no way in hell that Activision goes on record stating it's 720p. That would be counterproductive to maximizing sales on the platform.
Microsoft will almost assuredly (if this is all true) come out with a deceptive comment along the lines of "Ghosts fully supports 1080p on the XB1."
From a business perspective, that would be their best play in a scenario such as this.

Ah, thanks. I figured that by the 100 page mark, it must have been confirmed to be true by a EA or Microsoft. Well, back to the waiting game.

But Raphael is still the coolest. So there.
And if they do, and are proven wrong, it'll be even worse for them.
Don't you know? He's a games journalist. He is the gatekeeper and his opinion means more than yours. Very serious business, this internet journalism.
One game where there will be zero excuses for the differences. And the differences will be so obvious.

It's so funny to see Kuchera doing damage control.
You said "as unsharp as 360 games". No, it's sharper than 360 games because it's 1600x900. Scaling that to 1080p is better than 720p to 1080p.
It'd be hilarious if EA confirmed it
"Yes Call of Duty is 720p and looks awful, please buy BF4"
As far as I know there is no major Kinect feature, possibly no Kinect features at all. This is my own personal opinion but I believe the lack of time and hardware specs are why it's only 720p. If the devs had another year to work on the X1 version, I am sure it would be 1080p.

Not to speak for him but the motivation to do a mega-thread like that could come from both having an interest in said game and getting a reaction out of neogaf.... which he did and was even tagged for it.
I'm thinking the PS4 version might not be 1080p either. IW's real talent walked out the door a few years ago and Activision doesn't want to put real money into development time or talent, look at that Walking Dead game they made, and really, what has Activision made that has been truly noteworthy in the last few years?
It wouldn't be wrong though, the game will support up scaling to 1080p, I don't think there's any question about that.
This uproar relates only to the native resolution.

This is exactly what happens when stop thinking critically and begin thinking commercially. Raphael is, objectively speaking, the coolest.
Upscaled 1080p =! Native 1080p
Spent the past two days with a penpal from Japan, log on to NeoGAF to find 110+ pages of HOLY SHIT I had to read.
This is crazy. I was seriously expecting a 900/1080 split for most of the generation. If 720p is really MS' go to resolution...wtf.
Kudos to all the glorious devs, and insiders who broke and developed the story.

The differences between upscaled and native are noticeable. You would see it in the textures alone.
Ben kuchera ugh. Get thee to a resolution hut.
I also remember him as being the most insecure.
THIS.
There has been a strong streak of denial regarding the power differences between the PS4 and XB1. No matter how many times the specs of both machines were debated--and the advantages of the PS4's GPU and RAM setup was clearly shown many, many times--some people still didn't want to believe that MS could have created such a weaker machine than the PS4.
Ghosts being 720p on the XB1 and 1080p on the PS4 is first evidence that the power difference is real and has always been real, and some are now just starting to cope with that.
That's only a valid point if XB1 players could play against PS4 players though. Just sayin'

About MGS? Oh man it was my favorite game series of all time up until number 4. After Snake Eater I was anticipating it and Halo 3 more than anything else. I convinced myself 4 was brilliant but I have played it several times now and its just not nearly as good as the previous ones. That's why I haven't been very active in the MGS5 threads I lost a lot of excitement for it. I think your misunderstanding my point though I have no loyalty to Metal Gear that impacts my enjoyment of Splinter Cell or competing games of the stealth genre. Being excited about something and exhibiting brand loyalty are two very different things.
