List of known resolutions for next-gen games

Confirmed framerates wouldn't be a bad idea to add either once the consoles hit and can be properly measured.
Yea, I like the idea of having framerates on this but right now, I don't think it can be done as framerates are always a target and varies, where as resolution is traditionally set, if a game is 1080p then it's 1080p if one is 30 fps, it might be 25 fps more often than not.
Well yes actually i'm surprised it's so bad. It was meant to be better than PS360 in term of performance... I didn't know there was so many games with sub resolution on it.. It's the exact same deal actually..

4 out of the 13 listed?
The list also doesn't includes the likes of WWHD and Smash Bros. which are both 1080p.

Just put in average framerate. There are plenty of performance sites.
This is one of the biggest misbelief these days...
"Looking good" is dependent on the native resolution of the TV. Pixel per pixel mapping is what makes a game look crisp and give it this "Wow" effect. Any game running in a lower than the displays res needs to be upscaled. So in order to run the image in full screen the scaler(s) have to "create" information that does not exist, resulting in artifacts, jaggies and blurr. Tvs and software can only do so much.
It's the first source in the OP
Right, it's just a very useful link that's worth looking at for its own sake, IMO. Does a good job of throwing off people who insist that last gen was 99% 720p or 99% sub-HD, since it shows that both were quite prevalent.
subscribed, this is a great idea, shouldnt we put known framerates too? it'd be simple to add ones that are known..
yeah what these guys said ;P
yeah what these guys said ;P
Yes, but my point was, Ps4 xb1 games aren't out yet so aren't on these sites.

It's a combination of the two. It gives the game a cinematic feel, but it also greatly reduces the number of pixels needing to be processed (25% less).

So they seemingly haven't committed to a resolution, which is smart because the PS4 builds are probably still not optimized.
That's still a surprise to me cause i was under the feeling the superiority of the WiiU hardware would give better multi than current gen consoles..

It depends on the developer. Ports of previously released games put out to make launch don't really say a lot.

How does Razor's Edge WiiU compare to the PS3 and 360 versions resolutionwise?
There's one screenshot that looks kind of upscaled for infamous second son, but the rest seem native, is this just bad capture?
From this thread:
http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=659781&page=2
This. As long as the image looks sharp, textures are crisp and the gameplay is smooth why would I (or anyone) care?
Eww, if the final game looks like that I'll seriously reconsider buying the game. That barely looks better than Infamous 1 or 2.
The image won't look sharp if the resolution does not match the resolution of your display. It will look like shit.
Well it's just that single screenshot lol, all the other ones look fine.
this is a thread for people who do care.

It's odd that we don't have the resolution for Watchdogs especially with all the info we got

subscribed. Good job OP
If you don't care about resolution, don't go to a resolution thread. It's not that hard is it?
Image "sharpness" is directly related to resolution, BTW.

I was curious about this after those disappointing numbers from the XBO games.
The framerate in Infamous seems to be unlocked, so it's hovering between 30 and 60.
They just confirmed it's 30fps across all platforms - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-08-23-why-need-for-speed-rivals-runs-at-30-frames-per-second
Yeah, it's weird. Post first reveal there was a downgrade so it's understandable why they're not talking IQ specifics ..
Because it's not good publicity. And because those games aren't finished. And perhaps there'll be differences between the PS4 and Xbone versions. It's so easy to present PC renders to the press that are very different from how the next gen versions will look.

Is it fair to say Rayman Legends doesn't have anti aliasing when aliasing only appears on 3D elements in the game? all the 2D sprite work is completely aliasing free. maybe another asterisk required there is all I'm thinking.
compare this:

Yep very good thread and I, just like you, think that having "reference" threads like this one could be a very good thing.
And Mods could make a special pinned thread where we could find all the links to the "reference" threads
This!
Also, we need the rest of the list for the other titles (Xbox One) and 2nd wave titles Wii U.
Nice to see commitment to 1080p on PS4.
It's 1080p dude. Can even tell from the compressed 1080p gameplay videos that have been released.
? that's what I said, all of the screenshots look native but the one I posted, so I was asking if it's a bad capture.

No it's not AS bad.
Looks like a bad capture (1920x540). Might be due to 4:2:0 compression for the video capture or something like that. The other shots are 1080p with some sort of AA (horrible compression).

Yeah, it'd be nice if there was a list of referential threads in the forum archive perhaps, or maybe a GAF wiki of some sort?
Thanks, good to know! Originally thought it would be a dynamic resolution but I haven't seen any other shots with that res.
They want a 2:40:1 aspect ratio with black bars for filmic effect. I think it's a dumb idea personally, but I guess they want it to feel like you're playing a movie.
Then stick with PC?
No one is buying consoles for graphics but for exclusives, cost and convenience.
Nah. They have more than enough headroom anyway. The game is reported to currently run at 60fps, or close to anyway (average around 50fps). They're targeting 30fps so they have a lot of wiggle room for polish and added visual clarity.

They wanted a "filmic" experience... in a cinemascope way.
Which is marketing talk for "we couldn't get an acceptable FPS rate with 1080p".

They should leave it running at 50FPS.
No. You don't set your gaming resolution at concept stage for technical reasons.
