PS4 baby, feels good to jump off the MS train at the right time. 11 years.....but damn it feels good.

If you're seriously going to ditch a console just because of a small performance difference and take glee in it, I can't see you being much of a fan / gamer. Seriously.

The posts in this thread just utterly cracking the shits over a single LAUNCH games performance is madness. As a big PS3 fan we had to deal with a lot of fucking berating assholes giving "our console" shit for years on end but in the long run? Most of the games were much the same with a small handful of exceptions.

You people, all you people should base your decisions on EXCLUSIVE games, you should base it on the OS / functionality, usability, features - not just the resolution of one particular multiplatform game.
I can't believe I of all people am defending Microsoft here but seriously ..... what the hell are you Xbox fans or simply just COD fans or something? There's more to an entire console platform than one game.

Hell, as a Sony guy, I'm gonna miss the shit out of Forza :( christ you'd think the Xbox One was complete aids reading this site sometimes :/

So where we at now?

Posts like Albert's just show that probably 99% of people who play this game won't even be able to tell unless it's sitting side-by-side with a version that's confirmed to be native 1080p (like the PC version) on an identical display.
 
Is it so difficult to believe that people get Xbox for Xbox exclusives?
Shouldn't be. Forza and Halo are both incredible. I'm still planning on jumping in at Horizon 2 or Halo 5.

It wouldnt be a single game. Its also a matter of which console will provide the best experience with all the various multiplatform titles out there. When it comes to resolution and performance, that seems to be the PS4.

Since most games are multiplatform, that could be where you put the lion share of your time. And with both consoles charging for multiplayer it's more expensive than ever to have both consoles.
 
You the best flash right back at you

This is just extra confirmation from the NSA fiasco to the non gamer centric focus, to a higher pricetage, and the Kinect garbage. MS completely lost me as a gamer for more reasons than one. Thanks

Now sit two feet back 2 or 3 feet back. It's very hard to tell the difference! Not defending the xbox 1 here, I just think a lot of people are giving too much importance to 1080p vs 720p on a tv. Does 1080p look better than 720p, of course it does. Does it make a huge difference to the majority of gamers? no

Is Xbox 1 fucked? yes! I think the power disparity is going to show in more important ways, ie Framerate, and Effects.

3 feet away from my 13" laptop I can't see the difference, but 720p 6 feet away from my 47" LED TV, it looks like garbage.

I don't think it's just a small performance difference.

This thread, is funny.
But who cares really?
Next Gen Starts in less than a month(nov 15), and it's not the xbone, since its basically not really next gen, it is but just that.
You heard Kaz.

I wouldn't harp too much on Albert not being able to distinguish resolutions. The fact he even came in here to post is admirable.

Indeed the fact that he decided to reply is a positive thing.
But basically he said that:
1)He's not allowed to disclose technical details about third party games. It's up to the publishers. Fair enough, it's reasonable.
2) He started to spin the whole thing with PR comments in disguise like: "resolution will be what it will be", "it looks great anyway", "I couldn't tell the difference anyway even if I wanted to, I'm not a pixel counter".

Those comments are not a good sign....the only one missing is "our scaler will make it look as good as native 1080p".
Still people we'll be able to see the truth soon enough for themselves although I honestly don't think that 720p is a tragedy for a launch title nor it is representative of what the Xbox One hardware can do in the long run. If PS4 can do 1080p in the same situation it's because it has a more powerful GPU, but that should be pretty much a given and accepted at this point.
But this thread doesn't deserve so many pages, people are reacting as if the game was delayed just on Xbox One for specific technical issues and it's not the case.

I feel like this is a dangerous path to go down. It's too meta, by this time next week the entire Internet will be nothing more than a single tremendous banderas reaction .gif traveling up out of an infinite rabbit hole.

Should we take the red pill, or the blue pill?

Remember, Banderas.gif is truth.
 
I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Guerrilla when they read this.

Guerrilla Coder #1- "CoD is 720 on Xbox One!"
Guerrilla Coder #2- "If only our game could sell a tenth of theirs!"
Guerrilla Coder #1- "Yeah..."
Guerrilla Coder #2- "Yeah..."
Guerrilla Coder #1 & 2- "...."


The icing on this cake would be if the WiiU version is 720 or better. That would be lols all around.

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.
Exactly this isn't even about COD it's about confidence in the XBOne on a whole why the hell are consumers going to go out and drop $500 on a new system that is performing at the same level as it's predecessor on a cross gen multiplat no less. On a side note as a new Gaffer this is what a mortimer thread is like hot damn.

His job isn't to know the resolution of every 3rd party game coming out on the XB1. I'm not defending any of the other FUD spread around in the past few months but saying "I don't know" doesn't really count. If someone asked me what resolution a game was running at just by playing/seeing it I wouldn't be 100% sure. If he doesn't know he doesn't know. The truth will come out eventually.

Maybe all the aggression on GAF is just getting to me.

Those two posts you replied to were an answer to a member saying (not sure if it was you) that Penello's appearance was admirable.
 
Was looking forward to this thread, then got to the end of page 1 and saw it goes all the way to page 61 in only 5 hours.

I am gonna assume all the posts in the middle were just

"MS are doomed"

"PS4 will be king again"

"Does not really matter"

hey Albert ,

If native 1080p is non noticeable , why make FORZA 1080p native?

Tell those poor souls at turn 10 they are wasting time and resources.

There is far more going on that is bad about the Xbone then just a resolution. You know this.

Well ok yes those are more some viable reasons - pricetag I think is a reasonable argument (although it's really not that much more money if you're truly into the platform exclusives)

To me it's ALL about the exclusives, that's why I love the ever loving shit out of my PS3, it's fucking beautiful. It still blowss me the fuck away when people say the PS3 has no games of interest but ... well different strokes for different folks.

I'm sure that Gears, Forza, Fable, Halo and... well whatever else MS has that MS fans love will continue to evolve on the Xbox One. Sooner or later there will be a killer game for the system for those guys. (Personally I think Fable went to shit sadly, Gears is awful, Halo is the most over rated game series in all of history - but Forza,... god I miss Forza)

Good luck!

I do know this - but people blowing tiny things out like it's "that one thing!" is crap. It's like NONE of you guys went through this shit 8 years ago for the PS3 and Xbox 360. In 18 months time things will settle, it'll be ALL about the games - not the dopey fucking resolution. People focus on such silly stuff at launch.

God damn I missed the console wars. They are in full fucking effect again. Welcome back. I missed you.

Ain't got no popcorn up in this bitch. Gotta go get some more. Walmart sells a box of 22 bags for 5 bucks, BTW.

Ah crap!! I'm out of popcorn. BRB need to run to Walmart and buy some more and also to cancel my Xbone pre-order.
Oh the hyperbole!

I love the posts that Albert is unlucky to be working at Microsoft because a third party game may run at a lower resolution then it's competitors version of the same game.

There's been a lot of good gifs and some back and forth from Panello and Famous. It got pretty sassy

We're just exiting a generation where any game running any resolution below 720p gets criticized. I don't want to hear how dropping from 1080p to 720p is suddenly barely noticeable while a drop from 720p to, say, 640p results in a huge, muddy, blurry disaster.
