Just read this on gamekyo.

The great info is that both games on Xbox One will be in 1080p/60fps. We heard that by Julien Merceron, involved in the development of Konami's Fox Engine. Thanks to the new SDK, developers were able to upgrade low resolution textures to high definition ones. Ground Zeroes and Pes 2015 were both 720p resolution on Xbox One.

[iMax]

That's crazy. DX12?

 

[giancarlo123x]

Genuinely surprised. Secret sauce?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

December SDK and DX12 doing WORK

 

[Nightengale]

Finally optimised, huh.

 

[Dunkley]

As long as it is a locked 60 under almost all circumstances I am fine with this.

Otherwise I'd prefer 900p.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Awesome news.

 

[TheBoss1]

Parity ugghh!

Edit: need more sources b4 I believe this

 

[tuna_love]

We were played like a fiddle

 

[GHG]

Good news for people who can only buy these games on the xbox one.

 

[Woffls]

Thanks, Fox Engine.

 

[XxRampage07xX]

Great news for Xbox owners

 

[Alienous]

Awesome for people getting those games on XB1.

 

[MCD]

Really hope FF15 gets better too!

Good job Konami and MS.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

now everyone is happy!

 

[Radec]

It will never be locked at 60fps.

It will just have a max fps of 60.

Same with the PS4.

 

[bombshell]

From 720p to 1080p sounds suspicious. Let's see how stable the framerate is going to be compared to the PS4 version where Ground Zeroes already was 1080p.

 

[W.S.]

Hmm, so will Ground Zeroes get the upgrade patched in too or will it stay the way it is?

 

[Courage]

This is awesome.

Did you choose to skip over the "60 fps" in the OP?

 

[Mohonky]

Wonder what they changed or what they found, 720p to1080p isn't a small leap, and they are using the same rendering engine yeh?

 

[sangreal]

I can't help but be skeptical but that would be great

 

[Theonik]

Proof is in the pudding. Could very well be Witcher 3 'Dynamic 1080p'

Edit:

Saying a game is 60fps, and actually consistently running in 16ms frames is a different thing entirely.
Many console 60fps games will frequently dip in the 50s and even 40s, that is because running at 60fps locked requires every frame to be able to be output at 16ms or lower which simply isn't happening unless you have ridiculous amounts of overhead in many cases when things are happening on screen, so when you have an apples to apples comparison, you would also normally expect a reduction in stable framerate in a system with objectively weaker hardware which makes it a valid question.

 

[Garrett 2U]

So they are finally starting to reveal that second layer of GPU, huh?

 

[Chobel]

That's huge jump.

 

[Geg]

It will never be locked at 60fps.

It will just have a max fps of 60.

Same with the PS4.

Did Ground Zeroes manage to stay locked at 60? I usually can't notice small framedrops unless it like shoots down from 60 to 35 or something

 

[bombshell]

What do you mean?

[Zombegoast]

That's crazy. DX12?

I doubt it when the Fox Engine was designed to run on a toaster. Ground Zero should have been running at 100fps+ on the Xbox One at 720p.

 

[TechMaster360]

Surprised if this is true, let's see how it turns out

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Damn-*Salutes

 

[AgentOtaku]

Awesome news.

Indeed!

Fantastic!

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

BETRAYALTON! I thought 1080p was exclusive to PS4!

Spoiler

 

[gtj1092]

Weird sentence. They talk about overall resolution and then cite texture resolution.

Awesome though pes on Xb1 was a travesty.

 

[foxbeldin]

If this happens with no tradeoff, then i'm genuinely surprised.

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

Great news! Looking forward to seeing how it looks on my display compared to Ground Zeroes.

 

[Ricerocket]

Upgraded from low res textures to high res? IDK, it talks about textures.

 

[Kinyou]

I doubt it when the Fox Engine was designed to run on a toaster. Ground Zero should have been running at 100fps+ on the Xbox One at 720p.

Yeah, I think this only shows how unoptimized Ground Zero was

 

[Whompa02]

Can we assume PS4 will do 1080 60fps as well?

 

[benny_a]

The reason I assumed before the FOX Engine games were previously 720p was that they used a huge multiple rendering target (they didn't specify how huge, but based on the results easily >32MB).

I'm confused by this result, but I have an admittedly simplistic understanding of modern graphics rendering.
Hopefully we get a good post-mortem if it actually turns out to be true how they managed to make deferred rendering with a large MRT to work at 1080p60 because that might be applicable to many other games.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Nice. It can't be because of dx12 can it?

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Good news for me but one source only?

I aint buyin it.

 

[Rajang]

Incredible news.

 

[PhatSaqs]

lol.

 

[Sickboy007]

I mean, they're both crossgen games. They do have some leeway there to optimise them.

 

[Randam]

Didn't even know mgs 5 was supposed to be 60 fps on consoles.

Is ground zeroes 60 fps on consoles?

 

[foxbeldin]

Yes it is.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Assume? GZ ran at 1080 60fps already on PS4

Don't really see what you are trying to say. The Fox Engine is designed to be scalable to different devices. It only tells you part of the story. Think of UE4 for example, it can happily run on an iPhone, but give it an UE4 game that has game elements optimised for a PS4 and it's going to be set on fire.

 

[NightShift]

That's fucking awesome news, thank you fox engine!
