If it was 1080p they'd make a big deal about it.

If it was running at 1080p at 60fps you can damn well be sure that Phil would have been boasting about it already! Best case... 900p. Worst case... 720p.

Why is 720p "lolz"? I dont think that will be any big issue.
Yeah if you hate image quality.
Because a 720p image on a 1080p display is always going to be a blurry mess, no matter how many graphical effects you throw at it.
Was it? Because PGR and CoD launched on 360 day one, and were sub-HD, weren't they?

Those were some VERY carefully chosen words. 60fps for a racing game aint news. If this shit was 1080p, you'd damn well know they'd be saying that alongside of it.

I always thought Forza 2 was 30FPS.

pretty sure forza is 1080p. They've put out 1080p screenshots
And this is why I just built a new gaming pc. After playing every single game at 1080p and 60fps, there is really no turning back for me at this point. I tried to play God of War Ascension the other day and it made me laugh at how terrible it looked.
I really wish that console devs would just tone down whatever they need to tone down to secure 1080p and 60fps. It's so much more important than anything else when gaming.

"Have I blathered on long enough for you to forget about the fact that I did not mention ANY target resolution for this upcoming game with a silky smooth frame rate?"

Every single racing game needs to be 60FPS next or whatever gen. It´s incredible frustating that things like this get to be a relevant news when it should be the most common thing in the world.

Yeah but that was 2005. This is 2013. I honestly would have expected them to not let games hit sub HD again. 720p should absolutely have been the bare minimum. 720p60FPS the norm.

I dont agree with it being a blurry mess, but 1080p would give a more crips image, that is true. I dont think 720p will be a problem though, i think it will still look great. I also expect many PS4 and Xbox One games to be running at 720p.
No idea what resolution they were back then, all I remember was that there was a requirement.

Surely you don't believe that's a direct feed screenshot?

Pretty sure that's a bullshot until we receive further confirmation.
The pre-rendered CG movie of how gameplay might have looked like in a better world, streamed at 60 FPS out of MS' cloud service, sure is.
Even current-gen racing games produce awesome in-engine movies. As long as we do not see actual gameplay, trust is pre-mature.

Upscaled?

No it isn't. Especially when one console has an almost 100% power advantage.

I thought the trailer was confirmed to be entirely in-game, which that image is taken from.

That is a safe guess.
Some rule that was. Exceptions from day one.
yes it's all happening again. Maybe we'll get 60/1080p next-next gen

Unless there is a god-tier scaler in the Xbone a 720p image is going to look awful on my Dell U2711.
MS, deliver. I need dat' 1080p Forza at Christmas!

It was confirmed to be running off an Xbox One devkit. Don't think it was necessarily in-game, probably just in-engine.
In-engine screenshots are not the same as real-time gameplay. Just have a look at GT5's photo mode.
These are clearly bullshots.
Huh?
Its not CG.
Anyways, going by the comments, it sounds like it might be sub-1080p. Something like 900p would hardly be discernable for most people. It would really only be news if it was like 720p or something, which would be disappointing, but still not a big deal. People can rest assured the game will look great.
If a game is running at 720p it better have shit loads of AA to compensate. Otherwise why upgrade your console at all? Your games will look pretty much the same at that point.
Have no you standards for image quality? Run any PC game at less than your monitor's native resolution. It will look HORRIBLE and washed out pretty much no matter what you do to it.

I agree. Especially if the Xbone is the lead platform developers choose.

50% is a bit less than 100%...
While it's funny to see MS dance around the fact that the game, in all likelihood, will run below 1080p, let's not get too crazy now. Greater fidelity is always appreciated, but let's not act like 720p is al'of a sudden an unplayable eyesore.
Also, lol at the folks who were hoping for a 1080p-60FPS next-gen standard.
