Fair enough, its amusing all around.I find the outbursts funny is all.

To be completely honest I like albert a lot. I think he is a good poster. I follow him on twitter. As far as microsoft's messaging has gone this year albert has been good while the rest of the company fell off a cliff.
That said... what he just posted is walking around the issue. Like I said a bunch of times... this rumor has been reaaaaaaaaaaal flimsy. After this I'm feeling pretty confident.
I agree with albert that the actual numbers don't mean shit. If they can make it 720p and upscale it and it looks as good as the ps4 version... who gives a shit. It will all be the same. But this thread isn't about that. This thread is about what the resolution is. If it's 720p it's 720p. It's not "really good looking 720p" because that's not something that exists. It's just the number. The number is all this thread is about.
He says he doesn't know - which is either a lie or he shouldn't be working in the xbox division. And then he strawmans down to other issues involved in how it looks.
The rumor wasn't "CoD looks way shittier on the xbox." It was merely about the resolution. All of that said, I'm certain talk of the resolution is under the NDA so albert couldn't talk about it - specifically- if he wanted to. But him saying he doesn't know what it is.... really?
Come on.
Albert, you're preaching to the choir here. I set my 360 to also play games in 1080p. I also prefer using phone apps on my tablet.
. But him saying he doesn't know what it is.... really?
Come on.
I think mr mortimer should be banned for life if it isn't 720p.
Well thank you for commenting. I'll ask you this though. Call of duty was synonymous with Xbox last gen. IF this turns out to be true, it's going to clearly show that the Xbox is a less capable machine from a pure hardware standpoint. It's going to clearly show the wild claims that dedicated servers are going to make up for this lack of power with Xbox live compute are bogus. No amount of "the games still look great" is going to change that in today's day and age. Word spreads like wildfire these days, as you can see. Does this not worry you guys in the least? I mean, I bet some people over there are REALLY regretting their decisions on choosing what hardware they put under the hood. Not being able to hit 1080p on one of the premiere franchises in the business while your competitor does would be downright embarrassing. Just my two cents,
I love how you will trust MS PR really quick. So innocent.
Is this Tim Dog (PNF) guy widely known? I post on Gamespot's System Wars forum and he used to troll there under the alias "ProjectNatalFan"
This is golden

So is upscaler magic the latest innovation from Microsoft that makes their games look better now?
Good thing we also have the infinite power of the cloud.
Same here.
But then again I sit a bit closer than the recommended viewing distance. Lol
I don't know. I always appreciate a good leak, and Mortimer has done admirable work in the past, but all these vagus teases are counterproductive and annoying. Not only that, but just a few days ago he poured his heart out criticizing other vague leakers, denouncing their habits, and lamenting the undeserved attention they garner. Which leads us to this topic... And I'm scratching my head. Thank goodness the info was narrowed down by others.No need for finger pointing or recriminations or anything.
The nature of leaking high profile information is that stuff changes, sometimes a source is wrong, and you have to take the heat if so. Sure there is "e-prestige" that goes with it, but you're also putting your neck on the line and your reputation. It's not just nothing.
famousmortimer and CBOAT and these others like thuway and Proelite have proven they provide very solid information, on more than one occasion. If this particular leak was wrong, there's no reason to punish someone outright like that. One mistake versus many many successful posts? Come on bro. We want leakers to come here, right?
But outside of that, maybe he doesn't really know how to tell if it's 720 upscaled. Or is that something that is pretty easily distinguishable?
Who is this? I need to know in case his opinion on something is ever presented to me as valid.
Ok, so it's 720p.
There's no way in hell that you saw it running and couldn't tell the resolution. And you know that seeing the game running vs watching videos online isn't in the same league.
The upscaler you put in is very good, I'm sure. Also, don't send anyone out to kill me. Thanks.

Holy shit, I think I may have just woken my neighbors up laughing. Thank you sir.

Man, this thread is nuts. It's like the gaming equivalent of Mystic River.

Wait now that I think about it. What is the Wii U versions resolution going to be??
So if you don't know the resolution why comment on this rumor at all? You did nothing to clarify nor debunk the rumor.
So the upscaler is the new secret sauce.
Are there really people who can't tell the obvious blurriness that's the difference between an upscaled 720p and native 1080p on large TVs? Not that upscaled 720p is trash but it's very easy to see the quality is simply not the same.
WTF are we getting new consoles for if not for improved graphics?
Blops2 was: 880x720. It was worse than 360, better than PS3

Cloud upscaling. The new innovation from Xbox. Upscales all resolutions to 1080p using the cloud to render it all.
