Rumor: Titanfall also 720p?

If the resolution and IQ don't matter, you should just play on 360. Unless that's not good enough, in which case I think I've detected an inconsistency in your position that can only be explained in one way.

Clearly, since resolution is the only difference maker of graphics.

Exactly. But also, would resolution to textures not make a difference? What is the point of rendering at 1080p if the texture resolutions are low, aside from lack of jaggies and added overall crispness. Like, I have PC games that I play on 1080p, but they look like garbage

This is kind of what I've been saying. It's more of a PR problem (which could be significant; Who knows) than a substantive problem -- The common consumer does not care about something like this. They don't care at all if one console is marginally (or even more than marginally) more powerful than the other.

The cheaper price [of PS4] does matter, though, I think it matters a lot. And the 720p thing feeds into a festering PR problem -- That the PS4 is cheaper and more powerful. This could be real. But 720 vs. 1080, on its face, is not significant to the common consumer.

In the case of a game like COD where younger males are the main demographic, I think graphics matter. It's video games, graphics have always mattered

My 2 cents. Is the game still fun at 720p? I think it will be just fine.

So why do we buy new consoles? Why even bother? Sure 720p is fine with a ton of added effects but I dont want to take the hit on IQ. Two huge issues with me about graphics are IQ and tearing. Is the game still fun? Sure but people should expect more than 720p and they should expect that with shelling out $500 to play a game. No need to upgrade if you are looking for "fun". So chill with the 360 and dont mind the $500 expense you would incur from actually buying a next gen console.

No. I care about both and I should get both when I shell out $500 for a new next gen console. Games and gameplay could still be fun with PS2 level graphics.

EDIT: You have to pay $500 DOLLARS to enjoy a 720p console in 2013- why does no one see the problem with this? Gameplay can be great on the NES are you still playing that as your main console?

I wonder how uncomfortable EA is with the Microsoft Xbox One backlash. March release sounds great and all, but I wonder if the PS4 port will hit sometime in November. Hmmm

I can honestly say I'm torn with keeping my xbox one reservation but if they game is coming to xbox one and it's only 720p everyone who has the One will have to buy it that way and enjoy the crap out of it and I'm sure they will. I understand some saying to play it on 360 but I'm not going back to last gen. I don't own a PC and won't so this is version of TitanFall that is my only choice and is really the only reason I'm considering keeping my preorder.

This is a problem? I'd be happier if I didn't have to buy consoles for a handful of exclusives that would look better on PC.

i agree with you. some months before the console announcements etc started, I raised the subject here, but was told never gonna happen makes no sense.
so, in the reality of "never gonna happen", ok, i buy all the exclusive machines but the fuckin games better be worth it.

If PS4 outsells X1 by a country mile you can bet there won't be enough moneyhatting to keep them exclusive. Potentially losing millions of sales is on every 3rd party dev's mind right now. PS3 didn't sell enough early on so it was an easy choice back then. Apples/oranges comparison - this is a very difficult launch for MS.

This is also my big take-away from most of this. All the resolution-gate stuff is just another thing keeping the momentum with Sony. If MS can't afford to moneyhat their way through this gen, that is a ton of pressure on their first party because no one is doing third-party exclusives anymore unless money changes hands.

You have good points. I just think a lot of people including myself are forgetting about having fun and enjoying games.

So its the the XBONE or bust for you... asking a serious question here- is Titanfall worth $500 at launch and wait for it for 6 months? It will come to the ps4 and not too far from the X1 release.
 
So, there were a lot of face off threads and articles the whole 360/ps3 gen where 720p and sub-720p was compared, scrutinized, and the higher res as lead platform was usually declared.

Frame rate being a clear winner is one thing, but that better be locked on both platforms this gen.

As far as "other stuff" goes, when has the lesser resolution verison ever been more noticeably superior excluding framerate and declared the lead platform? What do you expect developers to actually sacrifice in practice rather than hypotheticals achieving 1080p on ps4 instead of dropping down 720p?

Call me crazy, but I always held the verizon being higher res as synomous with everything else being superior as well. The only thing to worry about next was frames per second.

Probably not just for the one game but I did buy a PS3 just for metal gear. I do have a PS4 preordered also. For me it's PS4(naughty dog) or Xbox(titanfall). Everything else i want is on both systems. I just need to pick between the two. If I knew for sure it was coming to PS4 next year it wouldn't even be a issue.

I've been of the opinion that we would see Titan Fall on the PS4 before the end of 2014.

Meh, by the time it came out for PS4 the next big shooter(Star Wars?) will be out anyways and everyone will have moved on. Games have such a short window nowadays, they have to be pretty stupendous to have a thriving community outside of 6 months.

The flip side of this is what's the point of high-res textures and lots of modeled detail if the game isn't rendered at high enough res to see it?
 
I'm amazed that people are defending 720p. I have been gaming at 1080p since 2010, and will be moving to 4K in 1-2 years. Sooner if 4K monitors get cheaper than $1000.
 
BruiserBear said:
At this point in the game's development they definitely have that resolution locked down. Meaning it's already decided and in place.

Someone from the dev team could tell friends, and it gets around within the industry. Someone at EA, involved with the project, could talk to people, expressing their frustration working with the XB1 hardware. There are lots of ways for that sort of thing to get around.

I mean.... Really?

That's just insane. I just guess I can hardly believe it with how the game looks. I know 60fps, but that's still not something I can take as gospel yet, even from cboat.
 
Forgot something. The bird has been good to us. If Thuway hadn't squawked about 720px9 Mortimer would probably have risked the ban for teasing, the topic would have died down and thus Penello wouldn't have received the CBOAT smackdown.

Fear the bird.

So: Thanks, thuway. Kinda. Much pain and heartache due to the leak, but it would have come out sooner or later anyway.

CBOAT smackdown indeed, he called him out point-blank!
 
Loving the gameplay>graphics posts.

I can do you one better, and it doesn't require in engaging in total self-delusion: gameplay + graphics > gameplay. They're not mutually exclusive; stop using that argument when 95% of the games will be on both. Crazy mental gymnastics up in here--would win the Olympic event.

Graphics have always been important. They were likely important to even you disingenuous posters before you found out that your console of choice would have a deficit in that area. That argument has been dishonest as long as I can remember.
 
^^Interesting. Still need pixel counters to confirm though for good measure. ;)

Edit: yeah...no native render confirmation.

Well, Fuck, there goes my 3DS out the window. How's that for gymnastics?

Awesome reading comprehension, bro. I suppose you failed to see where my post mentioned that, for the same experiences, gameplay+graphics>gameplay.

Seek a tutor as soon as possible. It was BOLDED, man. Read stuff before you post a knee-jerk reaction next time.

BTW, I love my 3DS. Would love it more if it had better graphics, though. Are better graphics undesirable now?
