Well I don't know about the xbone HW being overall crap but one thing is for sure. This thing was never meant to release this year. Sony came out of the left field and they panicked.

Sneakily avoids using the word "resolution".
 
CBOAT and bish have hinted that this resolution debacle is only the beginning. Apparently just wait for launch....wait for launch.

Oh man. What else? OS crashing? Games with terrible performance? Another RROD type issue. We'll see.

So Infinity Ward can't push out 1080p on a 8 year old game engine using new hardware? Wow...

The writing was on the wall, these rumors started to apear months ago. I really can't see how anyone is suprised

And the embargo thing will only work against MS. Having reviews for all versions except X1 will really create a doubt in the consumer mind

Why are people being harsh on IW? It's not their fault MS chose a less than ideal architecture. And on top of that... meeting the launch deadline with immature development tools. If this was October 2014 then yes your criticism is valid. The situation right now... is all on MS.

I enjoyed this one:

I would prefer better quality looking pixels to just more pixels in general... This 1080 v 720 is just flat out stupid. If MS can squeeze more juice into each pixel at a 900P resolution and keep the FPS @ 60 and have it LOOK BETTER than a struggling FPS with lesser quality pixels running at 1080... well.... it is a no brainer

You'd think a as would have made fixing that a priority the moment the 180 happened. I mean it's a big fucking deal if you can't play games on a console

I think we're going to see lots of little authentication issues (maybe even big ones, who knows) because of the last-minute 180 on DRM.

I think it'd be pretty hard to strip all of that stuff out and rebuild something new entirely in just a couple months.

I'd definitely get your popcorn ready. I can definitely see something like a Diablo III fiasco.

They had other priorities.

But it is strange that they've failed in terms of the developer toolkit, an area that has ALWAYS been Microsoft's strong point.

I think that's been the MS story for this oncoming generation, they're turning their back on everything that aloud them to increase their market share so substantially with the 360.

Um its a fact. I tested it on my 7970 rig. Stable locked fps @ 60 fps in 720p and variable fps @ 1080p.

Resolution increase hurts performance

oh so stupidity then.

Your talking about on the same hardware, on different hardware(consoles) both will be running at similar framerates but one at 720p and one at 1080p.
 
Kaz dropping that bomb earlier in the year was just the beginning. This is an absolute disaster at this point. I still want to play DR3 though, not sure when. In time.
 
Right, I'm about ready to cash out from MS at the start of the gen.

Too much uncertainty for my linking to sink £500 into them.

What with this and the further stuff to possibly come CBOAT is hinting at.
 
I remember MS saying that cloud processing is equivalent to having the power of three extra SDKs. Should that compensate for nascent development tool?

Isn't that already one of the rumored problems with the XBONE?
 
Where are the pictures showing the difference of 720 900 and 1080p? Im clueless as to what I should be worried about.

What 2014 games are having trouble getting to the 1080/60 holy grail? If there are not many. I aint got no worries.

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 ;)

At this point I'm fully expecting my X1 to power up the first night, kick my dog, fondle my wife, eat my food, and then spontaneously combust...lol

Then your only remaining option is to buy a PS4. As it will massage your balls and make pancakes for you at the same time. All while you are relaxing and playing Killzone Shadowfall.

Just kidding of course.

But you will save $100 on the more powerful system.

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.

Nailed everything. This is why I always wonder if the Xbox 360 were people's first/only gaming consoles when they can't recollect history. I think for the general population of gamers and GAF people who only owned this console, the fact that they enjoyed the Xbox 360 and it's games whether exclusive or mulitplat clouded them from the other similar and what it offered. It's most evident when I see people tallk about overall gaming library comparisons and aren't really familiar at all with any of Sony's exclusives. I mean, why would you know or care about them when you're have fun with your Halo/Gears MP on the Xbox 360 and having wonderful time playing on Live with it's superior online infrastructure?

This gen you will see Sony's exclusives selling a little better because a lot more people are going to own the PS4 worldwide unless Microsoft gets it's act together and:

1) Lowers the price
2) Xbox Fitness is flawless
3) Microsoft PROPERLY markets the One has an everything console.
4) They come up with any 1st party exclusive to compete with Sony's (and I mean for every type of genre.)
5) Continue to invest in Live for a better experience and start removing services from their paywall

And when I every type of genre, I mean things like Heavy Rain, Modnation Racers, or Starhawk. Can any give any games on the Xbox 360 that were similar to these random exclusives I mentioned?

Do you really think they are going to go that deep? They are currently dealing with major Stockholders aggressively pushing Microsoft to sell off the division.

They can't go that deep.. If they do the Stock Holders could turn around and change the company as we know it. Stockholders were practically assured that Xbox One would be profitable from day one and they are still against it.

This! This is the root of all the problems and is a bigger threat to XB1 than the PS4
 
CBOAT

What are the other problems that make resolution least of concerns.

I don't want to drop $500 on some fucked up console .

Amazon pre-order may be cancelled pending response.

I know that IW has a huge task this year. Without the help of Sledgehammer and Raven, pushing out a game for 6 platforms isn't easy. But yet, the engine is based off Quake 3...and that is old tech which should run fine. And by looking at the PC specs, IW needs some major optimization

Denial until the bitter end! This thread is keeping me up. MS don't know what resolutions their games run at and they don't know what resolution TV/monitors they're running on. Incredible. I bet they know how many transistors are in those monitors though ...
