Shadow Warrior 900p on XB1, 1080p on PS4; both 60fps; coming this summer

That's what some deluded fanboys believe, he was making fun of them.
Yeah, the game really loses steam in the second half. The game just runs out of level and enemy variety so you have to go backwards through levels fighting the same enemies over and over. I loved it in the beginning but I had to force myself through the last few hours.
Having said that, it IS a pretty good game overall and I'm glad it's being exposed to a wider audience. Flying Wild Hog is a good team and I hope they get to make a sequel with better pacing.

For those with 720p sets. You even get free AA with downsample.

I see, old wounds. I never cared much for PS3's resolution deficiencies, and millions of other people obviously didn't either. That said, I thought the PS3 version of RDR was noticeably hurt by significantly reduced amounts of foliage. But as you said, that's far behind us now.
No.

Nope - last gen you had games with equal visuals and same performance on ps3 and x360.
This gen this will be only possible if someone artificially cuts ps4 version to xbox one build.

What the hell, this game looks amazing. How have I not heard of it before.

Hmm. Never played the original but the clips I've seen make it look like it would get repetitive pretty fast.
Has some interesting mechanics but I dont play lots of shooters so probably a pass for me.

I've been waiting for Shadow Warrior.
The difference is not 900p vs. 1080p, it is non-native resolution vs. native resolution. The visible difference between 900 and 1080 on a 1080p display is much bigger than, say 792o to 900p on a 1080p display.
And, at least if you ask me, no, sub-native resolutions are "not fine" in 2014. But then again, there are always people who are just fine with everything.

This has been siting in my Steam library for a while now. I should really play this sometime soon.
Full game ran poorly for me. Frame-times were fucked. I'd be seeing a solid 60 fps for average frame-rate but crazy spikes for consistency which introduced lots of stuttering. Looked awful.

OK for exclusives.
Weird, was fine throughout for me.
Shame this thread could not have just been titled 'Shadow Warrior coming to XBO and PS4 this summer, just brings out the exact same tired 'discussions' and 'humor' each thread.
On topic though, I missed this on PC so maybe it will be an excuse to get it on my PS4 when it arrives, I enjoyed the original a lot and this looks pretty great too.
While we are on this tangent I would love to see Rise of the Triad arrive on consoles as well even if it is super fast pace.

Maybe to you but that's definitely not the case for me and many others. I really can't tell much of a difference between 900p and 1080p.
Hence why these people play on consoles in the first place?

That is just criminal. Why do you buy a game and then not play it ?
Yeah sure, resolution and framerate is important but what i was saying is that people tend to put too much stock into it at times.
Take The Order 1886 threads for example. How many times have you had talk about the game being derailed by talk of resolution. Its been beaten to death and its still getting clobbered. It seems its the only thing that's important at times in threads and im certainly not complaining about it. Just an observation.
I am not saying buy whatever the devs put out, no way. Just to try and observe the game as a whole.

Fuck me, it's obviously terrible that they don't get paid to do it, or that they were forced into that career path. Good job then that no one has to pay for these games after the devs have been paid to make them before we get to play them. That would be bad.
We should just thank them all for their kindness, loyalty to customers, and slave labor like hard work, that goes completely unrewarded...
Really dude, get some perspective, we owe them nothing.
To have and to hold.

Like, for the feeling of having the game you buy it ?

Proud to say I'm old enough to have played the original against another friend via telephone modem back in 1997

Has been sitting on my Steam list for a while, I remember trying the first level, wasn't really all that.
I had fond memories of the original though.

Welcome to Steam.
I did the same. 1st level is not great. I'd suggest at least playing the first two levels, as the second is a large step up.

Mate, I have been using steam since the release of Half Life 2 and not once have I ever considered not playing a game which I have bought.
I was thinking that too, but then I saw AC4 post-1080p patch. It was like someone fixed the focus on the projector in a movie theater.
I'd say probably. With the new Xbox One SKU and changes to Live the two devices gaming proposition is more similar than ever. Both consoles are going to have more than 90% the same games library and both offer the same online services.
That leaves three areas to differentiate them (which people are going to focus on):
- exclusives - hence you'll see plenty of bickering threads about these
- non-gaming features - what gamer cares about bickering about these when talking about games?
- performance of multi-platform games - bingo!
Personally I see exclusives as less of a differentiator than they were and the non-gaming stuff doesn't excite the gaming blood as a differentiator for most so that leaves performance to bicker about the most as determining which is best - conclusion : expect lots of threads where resolution and graphical features are highlighted.
Obviously fighting over exclusives will still play a part right behind performance.
I can feel the years of pain in this post.

I've got this on Steam. I bought it during a sale and loved what I played. My PC is very mediocre so I'm excited to get a better experience on my PS4.

Higher resolution is always good to have, all other things being equal. Still, I play 720p, 792p, 900p and 1080p games on my 1080p TV, and they all look good and sharp to me, even 720p Xbox 360 games. Some look better than others, of course, but the games I perceive as the best looking are not aleways those with the highest resolution. Even some sub-720p games are beautiful to look at (Alan Wake, for instance). In other words, resolution has never been a limiting factor to my enjoyment. I don't know why that seems to be so hard to comprehend to some people.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Didn't realize this was coming to consoles. Well, that's good news. It'll remind everyone else what a good FPS is. You don't see those too often, these days.
I had a launch XB1 but returned it for a PS4, because I hated spending $60 for a game knowing that if I had a PS4 I would get a superior version for the same $60. I have both now though, because Microsoft is coming fast with the updates making XB1 much better has a all around media device I planned to use it for.
