720p is the perfect balance between 480p and 1080p.

Nicely done.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Bu bu but the moneyhats!

 

[Cidd]

This seems kinda fishy to me...

 

[Future PhaZe]

 

[amstradcpc]

Has any NDAs finished today that allow devs to talk?.

 

[M.D]

I don't get the hubbub. A bunch of games run on lower resolution on the xbox 360 to tradeoff for performance. It's the same thing here.

People expected 1080P 60FPS to be the standard this generation

 

[Krusenstern]

But is it balanced?

As someone already said:

720p is the perfect balance between 480p and 1080p.

 

[Aussie Legend]

900p PS4 then? Honestly, if they can get the effects and visuals somewhat close to the PC on this I'm willing to cop it

 

[Dahbomb]

Something something political reasons.

 

[Domcorleone]

PC version it is. My GTX 780 is ready

 

[Kandrick]

Game Spark ? How come no one reported this ?

 

[legacyzero]

That's right. Fuck platform parity right off this fucking planet. Fuck even the idea of it. If you don't make a console as strong as the other one, then you should pay the price in the way of a shittier looking version.

GOD, parity pisses me off.

That's 16 more lines of pixels than BF3 on 360!

HAHAHA

This seems kinda fishy to me...

Then there's this as well.

 

[Durante]

That's about 50% more pixels on PS4 if the second statement is true.


I can't for the life of me remember where I heard that percentage before.

Pah, theoretical percentages have no impact on the real world. Egghead.

Technically the GPU is good enough to run the game at 1080p60.

What does that mean? How would you determine that?

 

[nico1982]

720p is the perfect balance between 480p and 1080p.

I took a few seconds to get what you did there XD

 

[Skilletor]

Wow. Cross gen game running at 720p on a next gen console. wtf.

 

[Smokey]

Next gen off to a roaring start

 

[Swarna]

I don't get the hubbub. A bunch of games run on lower resolution on the xbox 360 to tradeoff for performance. It's the same thing here.

It's fuel for the PS4 vs. XB1 discussion.

 

[Jack_AG]

Standing Ovation/10

 

[Atlas157]

Oh boy, I can't wait to see the Digital Foundry comparisons.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Pah, theoretical percentages have no impact on the real world. Egghead.

:lol

I'll be honest, I don't understand exactly know what the fuck this tweet is supposed to mean cited in this article

 

[Derrick01]

Just wait until we're out of the cross gen period and into full blown next gen 2 years from now. It's going to be ugly and we're going to see a lot more of this on Xbox. I hope their fans are prepared for a really long generation.

 

[Akai__]

Welp. Here was me thinking that next gen will be all about 1080p and 60FPS.

 

[GitarooMan]

People expected 1080P 60FPS to be the standard this generation

I don't think people expected everything at rock solid 1080p/60. But 1080p as a standard res with maybe drops to 900 to keep 60 on certain games seems more realistic. To drop all the way back to 720 seem farcical given it's 2013. I still am stunned that KI runs 720p, I just don't understand what they were thinking when designing this.

 

[pixlexic]

Wow. Cross gen game running at 720p on a next gen console. wtf.

same reason the ps4 isn't killing the game like it should.

Its based on a engine meant for 3.2 ghz cpus. Doesn't matter how powerful the gpu is is the engine isn't made to use it.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Have I missed some news? Is this a follow up to a previous statement?

(I was banned for two weeks).

This guy said it's false... I think.

It's not like this article inspires great confidence at a Ps4 version above 720p

 

[amstradcpc]

People must realize that 1080p60fps is 4 times the pixel power of a 720p30fps PS3 game.But we also want better graphics...

 

[Chamber]

Oh man...

 

[WelfareBurger]

I can imagine the fun people would have had if MS would have named the console Xbox 720.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

720p, sure, but what resolution do you get if you add the pixels from smart glass?
I think smartglass is like 1080p, so that's 1800p for the Xbox One version of BF4 in total.

You gotta take all the Xbox One experiential products into account to get a more balanced view.

 

[IN&OUT]

but Penello told me that 50% power difference is "Greatly overstated" !

Not just some guy either:

Technical Director on Frostbite at DICE.

Games were the last thing on their mind. They wanted a media box. Games were an afterthought. You can see this through the design, name, slogan, their focus at first, etc.

 

[Demon Ice]

720p is the perfect balance between 480p and 1080p.

Solid gold

 

[Laughing_Man__]

JackFrags also say that the PS4 version is 720 up scaled.

 

[Iacobellis]

He could just be covering it, maybe under some sort of contract with MS.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Hey somewhere between 721p and 900p is still greater than 720p

Interesting... and the posts dates back to Aug 23rd... I wonder what this means

 

[Storm Raider]

Cross-gen is the worse.

Just wait until next year, It's going to be like Call of Duty 3 (cross-gen) to Call of Duty 4 (singe-gen)

 

[GashPrex]

uh thats cited as proof of this article...so....

"False" was in reply to @FuckeChoppe, his response was the link to the jackfrags tweet as a clarification.

 

[jem0208]

He wouldn't flat out deny something if it was true even if he was under contract with MS. He'd just ignore it.

 

[Chobel]

Seriously guys read the article, it's not confirmed

That said, since I’ve learned to take what representatives on show floors say with a bit of a grain of salt, I sent a mail to our contacts at EA asking for further confirmation, and I’ll keep you posted if I receive anything noteworthy.

 

[Raistlin]

Well, 1080p if over 2.25x the pixels than 720p and PS4 is nowhere 2.25x more powerful than XB1. So if PS4 version would run at 1080p, the graphics would at least have to be turned down quite a bit. So probably no. 1600x900 (1.56x over 720p) is probable.Though I think it will be a bit lower than that still.

There isn't necessarily a 1:1 correlation between 'power' (whatever nebulous metric that even is) and pixel fillrate.


Not that I'm implying it will be 1080p, but that right there is a gross oversimplification.

 

[GameAddict411]

seriously this is just pathetic, eight years later and we are still stuck in this sub-standard resolution and will be stuck again for the next eight too. whoever designed the XO hardware needs to be slapped.

 

[Megadragon15]

The look and sound of barely passing HD.

 

[Abriael]

"False" was in reply @FuckeChoppe, his response was the link to the jackfrags tweet as a clarification.

This. The Frorstbite tech director says that what @FuckeChoppe said (IE bad machine or lazy devs) is false, retweeting what @JackFrags said as confirmation, because earlier JackFrags said it was running at 720p (prompting @FuckeChoppe's response), and then corrected himself.

too late the wolves have the thread now.
