your welcome. That gif and the thread it came from is hilarious
My major qualm with not knowing is that, as a major partner that's helping launch the platform, Microsoft should have the finger on the pulse of what exactly is going on with the dev process.
Either it's 720p, or they are oblivious to something that to me seems pretty damn important to keep tabs on.
Either way, it doesn't reflect well on the console IMO and its relationship with devs IMO.

They don't.
But if they are equal or better they find a way to tell you that. If they aren't, they tell you why their version is still up to par.
It was so good. Like this thread.
Hold me GAF
Oh shit that gif! I'm officially out for the night. I can't even right now. lol
Lmao

That was originally downsized using the same algorithm before then being enlarged whilst all stemming from a PC promo bullshot.
Not a good test at all really.

You're assuming the average consumer actually cares about this. They don't. All they care about is that it's the new COD. It'll still break a Billion regardless of the resolution. This news is devastating only to console warriors.

I don't see how anyone could honestly say there is no visual difference between 720p and 1080p.
You have 1280x720 vs. 1920 x 1080
720p = 921,000 pixels
1080p = 2,000,000 pixels
You have 2x the amount of extra pixels on screen to produce a clearer, sharper, more detailed image and people really want to say there is no visual difference? WTF!
720p allows you the extra power because the GPU has 2x fewer pixels to render to on the screen. So really, if the PS4 is pushing 1080p in 90% of its launch titles, that is a 2x power difference right there compared to the torrent of 720p titles on the X1. God knows what type of AA and effects differences we will see between the X1 / PS4 as time goes along, but it is pretty telling that the best game graphically for the X1 is Ryse, which is generally void of anything outside of blood splatters and some sparks.
Has there been a generation yet where one system is so far ahead of the competitor consoles? Playstation vs. N64? PS2 vs. Xbox vs. Gamecube?
Maybe the best comparison would be Dreamcast vs. Competition ? I dunno ...

Probably cause he likes Barry Allen.How can someone who loves the flash be so wrong?
I never knew that until I casually tuned in into one of his podcasts. OMG it was cringe worthy and shut it off mere seconds later.
Depends if that number is unique viewers or total number of views. It may only be 5,000 people hitting refresh over and over. I know most of us here have done just that.
Stop posting.

Yeah man it's more than twice the pixels. That's a huge gap. I sit about 8 feet from a 60" tv. Id love to be able to do a side by side

then again, people will judge the version based on a single number, so "who gives a shit" about the better-looking version is nowhere near out of the window. it is perfectly possible that some people out there are going to base their decisions on the difference of resolutions alone.
people like to blame the "messaging", or the pr a lot, which is unfair. pr can only do so much. how can anyone have sold a product with always-online and no-used games? how about being $100 more expensive yet having an inferior hardware spec?
pr didn't decide on those things. it's the business and technical divisions that did, so to blame a lot of what went wrong with the xbone to the "messaging" and pr is quite unfair, at least in EmptySpace's view.

720p is perfect balance between 640p and 900p, it's all about balance.

When I see news like this all I can think is this is the first time in two gens I WON'T be buying an Xbox at launch, and as it gets closer not an ounce of doubt has grown.

I agree with everything you say. It's my job to cut through PR's bullshit.
And by my job I mean hobby. But I want it to be a job. I don't think I have many prospects at Microsoft though.
Was not expecting to see a thread blow up this much this late. Generally news comes early in the day. I knew something was up when Microsoft has not been pushing COD footage like crazy (like they normally do). Then there was IGN demoing the PS4 version for all their videos.... which was odd. Even if this is not true about 720p, I'm still curious why IGN/Microsoft are not pushing the Xbox One version.
Whoa, when did I post that? I need to stop drinking.

No way. He's been accurate quite a bit. He came clean with his statement that it was kind of an iffy rumor. He correctly confirmed the Driveclub delay a few days ago.
I don't think it would do GAF or anyone justice if he was permabanned.
...besides. This thread has been one hell of a ride. I can't count the number of times I've laughed just reading this thread today.

Guys, give Albert a break. I mean what else is he supposed to say? I'm sure it will be good enough for many more casual gamers who don't scrutinize graphics so much.

Look, I get some people claim such amazing eyesight as to be able to instantly distinguish native vs. upscaled when you're in a room watching and enjoying a game demo, despite the fact that it requires normal people access to a direct feed screenshot with very particular sections zoomed up 8x to pixel count, while also making sure you're accounting for other intentional environmental effects that may blur or otherwise impact the image.

But hey, if you're saying you can tell the difference with enough accuracy to make a public disclosure about it, just by watching someone play the game, then I say wow.
I've seen a bunch of other 3rd party games running at various times, and I can't tell you the *native* resolutions of those either.
So me, I'm not making that claim. I'm sorry if you think that's a job requirement.
Nobody is getting anything because Famous couldn't keep his mouth shut. Nextgen cancelled!
720p at 45 fps to achieve perfect balance. Dat middle ground.
I like all versions of the Flash. Comic book, animated, Pre-New 52, and New 52

Did I just see Ironman and Venom TWERKING in front of elementary school kids in that video?
I personally can't tell the difference between 720p/1080p unless I'm given a side by side comparison. Personally once a game is in front of me and running I can cope with any resolution. Bad or unstable framerates and tearing do bother me a lot though.
But this 1080p/720p revelation (if true) is going to do a lot for perception of the two machines in like for like comparisons.
The first year or two of performance comparisons (eg like digital foundry) are going to make for very interesting viewing.

I think this is about more than CoD though. It's our first real glimpse (if true) at One versus PS4 in regard to performance. Hence everybody going batshit insane.
