Was just about to post this. Interesting.

I knew it didnt look like 1080p in some places. THis should make one camp happier now tho right? Higher resolution and a locked 30FPS update to the framerate.
Great work ubisoft/massive and I'm still day one on the xbox version. The game ran great on xbox and I fully enjoyed the beta.
props to massive tho I mean 87 percent of full HD is pretty darn amazing on the xbox one. Hopefully microsoft has implemented the dynamic scaling into the Systems SDK to help with development. It really makes games shine on the weaker xbox hardware.

I would say expected....
Game still looks great on both, but graphical/performance difference horse has long rode it

That makes a lot more sense.

I don't mind dynamic resolution at all. Seems to work great on the One. Certainly better than plain 900p.
No reason not to, really. People are going to notice stuttering and frame drops more than temporarily dropping the resolutionit's why Netflix and Hulu tend to dynamically adjust their resolution to avoid buffering or stuttering. On the current hardware it gives the best possible image in all situations, and I never noticed the transitions during Halo 5.

Figured this was the case, as some parts of the beta looked a little blurry on X1. Not a deal breaker by any means, but if the resolution dips frequently or significantly, I'll probably go with the PS4 version. Shame too, I really enjoy multiplats on my X1 but can't excuse a (graphically) inferior version when I have options.
Are there parity cries in the beta thread? I thought if was just the DF thread.

Looks like a good solution. I couldn't tell it was happening at all.

yea it's still extremely impressive conserving the hardware.

I think he meant the DF threads.
And I agree. Now that we can leave the cries of parity behind, they should be a lot more civil moving forward.

That explained the odd look to it at times. Still though, I was expecting 720p and 900p on PS like previous ubisoft games. Both (or nearly) at 1080p is very good.

Id think this type of resolution change would be virtually impossible to notice. We're talking about a very minor drop in pixel density.

there's still too much parity for my liking. i won't be happy until a version of the game i'll never actually see in any capacity beyond df threads looks noticeably worse than the one i'm going to play, it's the only way i'll be content enough to slowly push that giant stick out my ass

Don't worry, that thread had diverged into PS360 arguing now.
Why do developers choose to use two axis scaling? Why wouldnt you use it on one axis only or could the difference between min and max pixels be too large?
I assume one axis scaling reduces artifacts, but have a feeling its nowhere as simple as that.
Sounds like Snowdrop is like the latest id tech engine where its built to have a dynamic resolution to maintain a framerate.

You don't like what's being discussed, stay out of the thread.

I knew it, some details are lost (blurred) when looked in the distance.

1087p
1008pr
Good news for Xbox though, it's higher than 900p and it does look to be 1080p in most places judging by screens.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
A bunch of unfounded and straight up debunked conspiracy theories being parroted over and over along with straight up ignorance about "parity" and how graphical features work,
"Just add more effects until the ps4 version is 30fps!!1! Just unlock the framerate!1!" isn't really what I'd call a good discussion... That thread was quite embarrassing in that regard.
I'm pretty sure WD was 792p on Xbox One with the PS4 version being 900p.

No, it confirms what people were saying that there should not be parity between the two consoles (unless a developer chooses to do so). And there is not.

So why don't you get it on PC than?
Yeah, it was a train-wreck indeed. A lot of armchair developers in there thinking they know what's best.
Unfounded conspiracy theories about parity are hardly discussions.

Perhaps that's not an option
OT: So, is the general consensus a "yay" or "nay" on this game? I've not played the beta, but really was excited for it from the very first snippet of game-play.
I personally thought it was great, definitely recommend.Perhaps that's not an option

Huge YAY for me. I've had a blast with the beta and can't wait to play more.
This. There was not a constructive discussion taking place in that thread. Just people talking about how the game is promoted by Microsoft and that parity was part of the deal for like the 1000th time and for the 1000th time it has been proven false.

Thank god. With this critical news update Massive are no longer parity partaking demons.
