The game will still run. Is it that much of a dealbreaker?

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Rumor: Titanfall also 720p?

In the UK their phase 2 was confirmed before XMas, Phase 3 shortly after... likely Stock after that point should overspill onto the shelves. Have faith, they will likely try and put some % of stock on the shelves to create the hype and talk..

When I watch a legit 1080p blu-ray movie, I think "holy shit this looks amazing".

I think you inadvertently proved his point. If you live in the US, there are no 1080p OTA broadcasts. Just 720p or 1080i. OTA looks better because your cable co has to grab the signal, and recompress it, and sometimes convert from 1080i to 720p or vice versa.
Amazon had some BF4 and Killzone bundles up for a bit yesterday. I'd sign up for their notifications, as I'll bet a bunch of people get cold feet at the last minute for whatever personal or financial reason.
I know it hurts, but it's better to come to terms with it now than to have to rationalize and justify your purchase for the next 5-6 years.
Garnett, this isn't even the same thing. It's like if ESPN said we needed to upgrade our receivers to get ESPN HD, but then gave us basically the quality that we had in SD channels. You'd be wondering like we are why we bothered to upgrade.
How can a gme box that is significantly more powerful than the PS3 or 360 only run two of the premier games for it's launch at 720, yet ask us to spend $500 to get a slightly better experience than we'll have with a 7 year old console?

Wow, I'm glad I stopped listening his podcast a long time ago, that's ridiculous.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I don't know hat you're going on about here, I don't have the time or money to have all the consoles and a PC, so I make my decision based on exclusives. X1 has the exclusives I want. I don't really care about resolution as long as its at least 720p. I'm not sure why you have to be so thick about this.
Seeing that they have much more time to optimize then launch window titles, they should have no problem.

This is what happens when you turn your division over to accountants, lawyers and managers.........you had a good run Microsoft but unlike OGXbox and 360 I will NOT be there on launch day or any day soon after.....soo sad.
Yep. When I go rent a movie I don't think "Hey I will get the dvd version because it looks the same as the blu-ray." There is a clear difference.

Yup. CBS/NBC football is great. Everything else is shit. For 2013, HD cable is quite laughable.
I really really like Garnett and Weekend Confirmed and have listened weekly since the 1UP days, but comparing television resolution to gaming resolution is utterly asinine. That is just an embarrassing tweet, and I hope he has to good sense to pull back from it on Friday.
We need Shane to come in and talk him off the ledge...or to set him straight.
The argument isn't that TitanFall isn't going to be fun because it is 720p. The argument is that TitanFall at 1080p is better than TitanFall at 720p, all other things (like gameplay) being the same.
Will things improve over time? Yes, of course they will. But things will also be improving for PS4, which means that less time is spent on reaching 1080p 60FPS and more time on other things like better draw distance, or FOV, or other things.
Both systems will improve. It just makes some people sad that the foundation for Xbone is so much lower than PS4 or even mid-range computers.

Each to their own dude, if specs and resolution means little it doesnt really matter, but bare in mind, games like DR3 + Titanfall are only timed exclusives, dont let that impair your judgement, get the console that suits you best personally.

lol@720p
55% more GPU is more than about pixels.
Optimization doesn't overcome weak hardware and architecture problems. Not that much, at least.

I was planning on playing this on PC ... to be honest.

If you play PC games, you know you can sacrifice resolution for better effects or a better framerate, and vice versa. No doubt Xbox One will be capable of 1080p just like 360 is - it's up to the developers what resolution they pick.
Yes. If it can't run fuckin CoD at 1080p MS fucked something up.
Appreciate the heads up. I'd really want one at best buy since I have their credit card and get 5% but I'll still sign up for the notifications.

I stopped listening to Weekend Confirmed because of Garnett. I listened to about 4 podcasts in a row and every podcast had him spouting off completely inaccurate info as fact. The guy has poor knowledge of video game history as well. I suppose I should list examples but I don't have the time to listen to the podcasts again to find them.
If people really cared, they would all build $2000 gaming rigs.
Not even. You'd be surprised at how little $$$ it takes to beat these upcoming consoles visually. Hardware is just moving too fast nowadays.
ask him to compare a HD movie on cable tv vs a Blu Ray. someone do it
Not sure alot of people are getting the widespread implications of this news, not only is it titanfall, Cod and the list of others have settled at a 720p resolution, this news means games as simple looking effects etc as cod limited to that resolution gives little hope for futures games being able to achieve 900p-1080p on xbox1. Cboat reported we better get used to it. Its scandalous that we cant expect 1080p on most games next GEN, its not just isolated to these last couple of reports.

Garnett's great. He has opinions, though, like everyone does. No need to start a hate-fest just because he's not all up in arms about the resolution stuff.
Garnett, when I watch the NFL on NBC and CBS I love what I see. When an NFL game is on Fox, it's immediately obvious that one of these things is not like the others. Ultimately the content is more important than the visuals, but if given the choice I'd much prefer the one that offers both.
It is when you are paying $500 for a 2013 next gen console. But then again, unlike something like COD, your choices for playing it are PC/360/xbox one. SO I would say this would have been a bigger deal breaker if a competitor like Sony could release the same game at 1080p.
But since that isn't the case, I can't see why anyone that really wants this would not get the Xbox One version, unless they own a PC.

If the game is identical except it runs at 720p on Xbone and 1080p on PS4, why is gameplay an issue?

I might be wrong, but pretty sure my Xfinity box outputs 1080i which looks amazing on my 60" LG

I like it.
7 years from now when moving to the next next gen we'll look fondly back at this scandal.

The point of discussion is why was this generation so long when all we're going to get is more 720p games for $500? I can play tons of games with great gameplay on current gen and systems from 20 years ago. Gameplay is critical, but it's tangential to this discussion, which involves technical improvements that seem lacking 8 years later.
because you have a possible situation where you get less and paid more money, how is that not relevant?

This adds so much to the discussion. It's not at all why the CoD thread was locked.
I thought it was locked because 720p was mostly speculation for CoD.
This here is confirmed, right?

terrible
a downsampled from 4k/70mm film 2d 720p video =/= an upscaled 720p render of a 3d game, the only thing they have in common is scaling blur.
When's the last time you saw jaggies, pixel crawling and shimmering in a movie, twitter man.

Hell and that's 1080i, not 1080p.
