Holy shit.
So I just went to a couple meetings and then had dinner with my wife and my parents as we made plans for our move this winter. It was a nice talk. I wondered what was going on with gaf... Bish had admonished me, as I deserved, for teasing.
And then there's this thread. I haven't read the whole thing. I don't have it in me. Can I get a rough guestimate as to whats going on here? I see that people are assuming that my tease is related to this (which I'm still not even going to say if that's true or not, yet, because goddamnit if we're going to hold gaming journalists to higher standards I'm going to hold myself to them also). Anyway.... seems kinda meltdownish.
So I'm moving in February. You guys excited?

IGN footage had horrible compression and was only at 30 fps. Even if it doesn't come close to being the best looking launch title, I bet you the real game looks a lot better than that... even in 720p.
If Gamersyde had footage, we'd have a much better understanding of how the game looks. That footage was hideous.

It doesn't look fucking amazing on any console, as far as I'm aware.

Don't care about his opinion, I want facts and numbers.
Ok let me try to get something like a non-gif conversation going here.
What WOULD be the implications of Call of Duty: Ghosts being 720p on Xbox One, but 1080p on PS4?
Things to discuss ->
● Would there be any long term effect in sales? I personally don't think so - the cards are already set for which system will do better in the first half dozen months. It's what happens when the truly big guns start coming that will matter, not a cross gen game like this.
● Would most potential consumers even care or notice? I don't believe if they walked up into a store and saw the Xbox One version and PS4 version side by side (if the resolution stuff is true) that they would notice. However, systems and games in this industry sell on word-of-mouth more than any other factor. So they may not personally notice it, but they WOULD notice all their gamer friends saying the XBO version is markedly inferior to the PS4 version. Ergo, a boulder starts rolling down a hill...
● What does this say about Xbox One's hardware? Is it not capable of running games that look better than this @ 1080p? Of course not! As we see from Forza 5, it runs at 1080p and 60fps. But, what it may mean is that the added complexity of the system architecture - owing primarily to the ESRam memory set up - is causing hurdles in development, forcing games which are on tight deadlines to have to make concessions on the Xbox One. It has been said that PS4's dev environment was much further ahead in tools, that it is much quicker "to triangle" on the environment than its competitor. This is exactly the type of situation that would play out if true... it's not that Call of Duty is doing things too hard for the Xbox One, it's that the added complexity of the system (and thus the added dev time) is forcing launch window games to have to make more cuts in order to get within that deadline.
● I'll get Call of Duty: Ghosts on PS4 then! But you shouldn't because that shit looks fucking grotesque too.
Discuss!

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. I don't see what the freaking big deal about announcing resolution is. We have heard nothing on COD or BF4. It's quite ridiculous.
Of everything he could've said, it's unreal that he's managed to increase controversy.
If there is no confirmation, do we just let the doubt grow?

Yep, there's probably a mandate from above that says "if the game is 1080p confirmed, you can say so. If a game is below 1080p, you do not discuss resolutions and instead just discuss how good the game looks."

It also aligns with what an anonymous dev told a Forbes journalist months ago.
its everyone waiting for the answer and watching people freak out......and threads moving fast as hell
That's the biggest red flag in this whole thread. Don't expect confirmation of 720p until release day though.

Well, no one has had the balls to step up to say the rumor isn't true... so the Internet has proceeded to run with it. Every person that would know is slyly stepping around the truth, as seen by Albert's dog and pony show he's putting on.
Or any system for that matter.=p

This is what happens when you prioritize Kinect over strong hardware muscle.
Sometimes you have to really spell things out.

I think primarily what it means is that multi platforms from day one will look worse on the Xbox One.
Even if you don't care about Call of Duty, this is massive news because there is certainly going to be a ripple effect throughout all third party games.
If this turns out to be true, i'm officially cancelling my X1 preorder. I hate being "that guy" who screams "pre ordered canceled", but this will be the final straw.
I've made through all of the DRM sh!t, and the higher price, less performance stuff, but this will be the final straw. I LOVE Microsoft's controller, and have a decent friends list that I'd hate to part with, but this will do it for me.
I'm refreshing faster than you've EVER seen lol.

it's like someone is offering you a new BMW for $400 and you ignore him and go to toyota dealer to buy a Corolla for $500
While it's your opinion and I respect that....but it seems somewhat silly and uninformed enough...seems like you worship MS to the point of accepting anything they throw at you..it's OK.

lol you people live in past
and holy shit @ news about 720p
That's a pretty good resolution for
projectors
You know what else can be up scaled to 1080p? Dvd's. That must make them blu-ray quality right?
I like your posts, but ... what lol. Happy you're moving I guess. No, I'm not excited.
yes, but then there will be halo 6, forza 6, etc.
bare in mind i'm probably a different type of gamer then you. i'm married and have two young children. i have a career. i buy 2-4 games per year, but only have 2 in heavy rotation - halo and forza. while i could definitely replace forza for GT, sony has, imo, nothing that compares to halo.
so if it seems like i'm jumping through hoops to justify x1, i may be... i'm actually stll struggling with this decision at the moment. a few years down the line i could see ps4 being clearly better even with my gaming preferences (destiny and titanfall?), but i'm so ready for next gen now and one of my very top tier games will be available at launch on x1 with features i've been dreaming about (spa and bathurst).
Consumers won't give a shit. Graphics never won a console generation and it's stupid to assume it will now.
The Xbox brand was officially dead once everyone from the old Xbox team (such as J. Allard, Peter Moore, etc.) were either forced to leave or just left altogether.

Wow, just days ago he wants a list of 1080p launch games, he asks on twitter ffs. Now he doesn't want to talk about resolutions and wants you to judge for yourself.
Does he even realize how ridiculous those two tweets sound back to back?

Penello will say, " OF COURSE IT'S 1080P*!"

I can't tell much difference myself, but I am using 3D mode and I have AA max'd out on my PC so it is pretty difficult to tell. I'm also sitting about 5-6ft from my 55" TV. I've switched modes back and forth and it is pretty subtle.

Don't worry Mort - Albert already confirmed for you.

You don't see a difference in clarity here?
Why pay $100 extra for the one with worse performance.

That's drastic!

I think ryse is pushing a little bit more in the graphics department that cod. Just saying.
Would be hilarious if the thing you teased was not related, we sorted of assumed it and Penello sidestepped the question ..
