COD:Ghosts PS4/XBO Comparisons show the same resolution (720p)?

It will looks pretty ordinary anyway. I'm already trading it anyway, the maps are such a mess compared to bops2.

It least I've got this game from the futureshop promotion.

Battlefield 4 all the way this time around. Hopefully enough of us say no and they actually put a little effort into the next cod, they're turning into EA and their Madden rinse and repeat scheme, pathetic really.

why are we comparing a game that looks like shit across all platforms? #shotsfired IW


Ghosts doesn't look like shit at all. It's not the best, it's not bad.

Wow. Something going on here is really dumb.

I must say though, lol at all the people calling Polygon dumb/biased because they couldn't tell the difference. Turns out there was none haha.

Someone has to investigate to see why this is happening. Maybe last minute mistake? Capture problem? Either way it's IW's fault - reviewers should've been told the game output's 720p in certain scenarios.
 
Wait, so Polygon is redeemed? What a twist! I think we owe them an honest apology at this point, they got a lot of abuse for no reason as it turns out.

To summarize, this really has little to do with the game Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Actually, it seems to have everything to do with COD. Don't know why everyone is losing their shit over the resolution of a cross-gen launch game from a franchise that has notoriously shitty quality standards to begin with.

lol, wut

If anything this shows they are completely clueless as most of gaming "press" sites. The fact that this thread is uncovering the potential mess up and not the reviewers is pathetic.

Except for the part where Quaz51 said more stable SP framerate on PS4 singleplayer, and 1080p (better IQ) on PS4. So yeah, still differences.

No because they should been breaking the story that single player was 720p not continuing the line that 1080p makes no notable difference. They are supposed to be journalists.

Meh, they're only human. Most people here accepted that it was 1080p with no question, they are reviews not pixel counters. A bit embarrassing, but I don't blame them. In fact, Polygon saying they couldn't see a difference makes them look better in my eyes.

At least multiplayer, where 90% of us will spend most of our time, is 1080. with frame drops :(

for frame drops need confirmation (or patch)
but good resolution is also important for multi (you see your target more far/early)
a sharp 1080p is very good for multiplayer

So presumably the reason why SP is lower res than MP is because SP has got more effects/lighting/foliage/etc (those screens MaLDo posted did look better than I'd expected), while MP remains more barren and undetailed.

This news doesn't necessarily reveal anything about the "PS4 MP has stuttering framerate" rumor, does it?

Oh well if we can't trust the gaming press to hold the industry to account by doing simple things like fact checking then they may as well not bother with gaming journalism at all.

It isn't like this is some niche title, this is the biggest multiplatform game for the next generation of consoles with a supposed huge difference in resolution. GAF has managed to get the scoop again with access to only press released videos so maybe just maybe the mainstream sites should be hanging their heads in shame.

Or maybe, they could have asked to Activision/IW what the fuck was going on, you know, like real journalists, when something is unclear you ask questions, because, that's part of your job as a journalist.

So much for video gaming journalism...

Good point. I think you are right. I can see why this sort of thing happened (have a lot of games to review in a short time, guys who review aren't same guys who do videos etc.), but the fact that none of professional reviewers could realise what was going on is quite damning.

So it turns out he was 100% correct in his sentence that maybe it was his imagination that made him to think it looked somewhat sharper.. lol

"It's possible that the PS4 version looked somewhat sharper, but that may have just been my imagination after confirming the hard resolution difference"

This is why I don't like people jumping to conlusions and calling people names and what not. This guy was just using his eyeballs and got crusified almost.

When game sites post comparison videos that (possibly) don't give a fair representation of what the user gets it's fuck up I don't care what game it is.
