Killer Instinct is 720p, focusing on maintaining 60 FPS

Good on them for prioritizing framerate in a genre where it really matters. This struck me as kind of funny, though.

Technically we are running at 720p and 60 FPS.

Yeah, resolution, just another silly technicality.
 
I think two or three years from now, a game like this will have no problems running at 1080p/60fps. Hardware optimization takes time.
 
On being asked how difficult or easy it was to run the game at 60 FPS at 1080p, the duo replied: “Technically we are running at 720p and 60 FPS.

This dev gets it.

60fps > Graphic detail for competitive games like fighters.

Yeah, but drop some of those distracting particle effects and neon paint first. If you still can't hit 1080p/60 fps, then consider dropping the resolution.

yeah I know, but they already said in various intervies, that the game runs at 1080p 60 fps.
Maybe they cant optmize it with only 1 year of develop cycle?
 
I'm not really interested in Killer Instinct but if I was I would rather the game have a 1080p resolution and 60 fps and less fancy lighting and rendering effects. Fighting games don't have to be that pretty.
 
umm how about removing all those needles particles and hitting 1080?

Unless they have some really good aa implementation.

I am really excited about this game.. dont screw it up!!
 
It's very disappointing to still be seeing 720p on next-gen consoles. Even if it is just the beginning of the generation, there should at least be some kind of "wow" factor. 720p is sort of embarrassing.
 
They should get rid of all of those unnecessary particles and flashy lights and focus on getting to 1080p or at least a true 720p (not this "technically" BS). Good to see the emphasis on 60fps, but that should be an expectation for any fighting game, not a great achievement.

720p? wat? remove those useless sparkles and make that shit 1080p

I second this.
 
A fighting game that cannot run 1080p @ 60fps on next-gen hardware? Not to over-trivialize it but you're animating two characters, some particle effects, and mild background animations. WTF?
 
so its DF against umm... gamingbolt?

I should really start checking the source of the articles before posting and not after.
 
1080p with the cloud!
sorry, i had to.
You gotta have priorities. 1080p should have been one of those.
 
I could have sworn someone said this was 1080p around E3 :S Too much news going around so it's hard to remember clearly
 
I think it's very clear this game is rushed as many other launch titles but launching with only 6 characters is very disappointing and now this. Expected from DH though.
