The gaming press will never be on the side of the gaming community. They are slaves to embargoes and NDAs. Besides a few outspoken ones, they remain corporate lap dogs.
If I knew anything more than you guys about this, I'd share it. If I learn more, I'll share it. As I always do. Hope that helps.
 
what if BF4 and Ghosts are 720p on Xbox One but run MUCH smoother than on PS4..? what if the PS4 versions chug like crazy? which one would you rather PLAY? remember what happened with PS3 versions this gen, almost all had framerate issues compared to Xbox 360... i could see history repeating itself again. MS aren't stupid. besides a lot of people only have 720p tvs anyway so they won't miss 1080p. it's just a luxury, not necessary for good gameplay. and do you honestly REALLY trust a Dualshock to be good with FPS shooters? yeah no thanks

anyway.. whatever the case you can play Titanfall ONLY on Xbox LIVE ;)

Oh boy I hope this is sarcasm.

Wow that's some pretty straightforward trolling. Or is it sarcasm?
 
Microsoft had to change so much things on software to running on XBO that probably dev-tools had to wait some changes be done to keep maturing these tools.
Dev tools were some months behind PS4 software and it could be got even worse due software changed after E3.
 
I really hope Microsoft works their butts off so that by holiday 2014 X1 looks a lot more attractive than it does now. Get devs to come to grips with the eSRAM. Tighten up the OS(s) and UI. Drop the price to match PS4 and get a 60fps Halo out there.

By Dec 2014 I just might be in the market for a $399 X1 with some freebies.

If Sony can come back from the disastrous PS3 reveal & launch in 2005/2006 and early days of 2007 then sell about as many PS3's worldwide as 360's by 2010/11 then there's no reason why Microsoft can't make One into a whole new ballgame by say, 2015.

For now I'm getting the PS4 but I don't want either console to get TOO far ahead of the other. Keep each other "honest" LOL.

Sony can easily catchup because they are trusted brand around the world. Japan wouldn't touch Xbox with a ten-foot pole even if it had Monster Hunter and a new Persona.

Reception for the Xbox One has been lukewarm in Europe despite the FIFA deal and later free copy of the game.
 
I don't post in these topics often, but...

I'm seriously perplexed how MS had 8 years to make the successor of the 360 and all they did was botch it.

The next Xbox was probably something really incredible at one point in its infancy. Then the corporate suits got involved and gave us... this.
 
Everything is 720p. CBOAT and the mod party dropped Truthfacts about esram being the issue here, and there is far bigger revelation that we don't know about.

GAF exploded with sarcasms, preorder cancellations, hilaritiy, Geis being Geis, rest of critics breaking embargo while we all wait for this thread to reach critical mass.

All that while MS PR stays quiet.

Pretty good summary.

720pGate2013
 
I kind of want to visit a parallel universe where MS continued with their original vision (assuming that the bolded part is the case) just to see how things would have played out.
Me too but only because I'm an asshole and I wanted to watch them burn.

Much better for everyone though the way things worked out.

OMG Lol, i cant take it anymore. Im in tears.
 
If it turns out to really be 720p on XboxOne vs 1080p on PS4, and MS is really forcing the embargo on reviews to try to mislead consumers as long as possible, that's just a dirty tactic.

Two very different situations.

1.) Sony always had the rest of the world...and still does.
2.) Sony had Blue-Ray for the price difference Microsoft has Kinect
3.) Sony had Japaneses Exclusives
4.) Sony had a beefed up first party
5.) Sony just came off the mega successful PS2 which was still making money and was not instantly dropped. Xbox 360's success pails in comparison to the PS2's success.
6.) This time the console parity will be more obvious.
7.) Sony didn't have Stockholders actively pushing to sell of the division and use the current resources to focus on Software/Services.
8,) Microsoft had a huge head start, Sony now has the head start but it's s insignificant headstart.
9.) Microsoft was easier to program for, now Sony is the easiest to program for.
10.) Microsoft had Indie support...now Sony has the indie support.

And PC...

The denial is strong with this one.

This...is actually a great summary.

I'd rather play the PS4 version 'cause this time PS4 is definitly the most powerful and least expensive console with the very best prospects for the future, imho.
 
So Microsoft got shafted by a publisher/developer they have been pouring money into for almost five years?

I definitely think some of the contracts (Activision, EA) will be cut short as early as next year.

Call of Duty has been making money hand over fist at sub HD resolutions for the last 7 years. They're not cutting contracts short off a res difference.
 
If Forza can be 1080p@60fps and Ghosts cannot do better than 720p, then clearly the tools are the problem.

GT5 and GT6 are almost 1080p and that's on last gen hardware. It's easy to make a linear racing game look good. Especially when you are using baked lighting like in Forza 5.
 
I believe Ghosts on X1 could easily get to be running in 1080p if given a little more time than a day-2 patch. Maybe about 5 days to a week and that would be real nice.

Just an uneducated guess. Guess we'll just see.

I'm down with this. I'm just waiting for MS to give a convincing argument to get their system. For $100 less, their competitor offers pretty much everything they do ... except a motion tracking camera that I don't need -- and, if I did, I could pick up one for $60 and still money for tacos and a movie.

My point is -- MS hasn't sold their system. I'm not paying more for less. I'm not a fanboy in any fashion, but I played a lot more 360 than I did PS3 (except recently) - heck, my gamerscore is up over 78,000 ... I've been a member of Live since 2006, and somehow, they convinced me the One wasn't worth buying.

But, for now, it's a PS4 -- because 1080p does matter to early adopters, but so does saving some money ... and hopefully avoiding OS issues.
 
This might be a stupid question, but do you think 1080p-games could gain performance if I use a 720p display? Or will it just downscale to that, which would be kind of a waste?

It can, but that is very rare, a handful of games did that this gen.

But most games render at the same native resolution but then downscale to match the lower resolution display.

Everybody and their mom is stoning and down voting anyone who even saying one bad thing about the Xbox One in this thread lol

look at the people rating at the bottom of their posts.

5 stars
5 stars

*someone stood up to the Xbots*
1 star!!!!

hahaha

Oh God. This is giving me flashbacks to 2006, watching official forums become troll hives, as kids lose their shit over technical specifications that they don't even understand. It's the dark side of the internet. I almost feel guilty reading that page.

And it's only going to get juicier once launch day arrives.
I cannot wait.
 
Is it bad that I don't care that the Xbone's resolution is the lesser one?

#stillconsoleofchoice

Nope, nothing wrong with wanting a weaker console at all.

Remember the PS2? Or the Dreamcast? GC and Xbox shamed both of them, technologically. Who's got that graph of how many units the PS2 sold? Not that it's the same situation, but graphics do not make or break a console.

That said, I'll be enjoying BF4 in 1440p/60fps on my PC, nyah. :P
