Call of Duty: Ghosts

[wakka]

I bet its nothing really more than the upscaler is so good on the XBone 1 its not worth the developer time or effort to get the game running in a native 1080p display

Commendable optimism!

Commendable optimism!

I don't think so . Did anyone really care that COD MW wasn't running at a native 720p . To me it looked better than any 360/PS3 FPS running a native 720p. To me Virtual Tennis IV looked way better than VT 3 (even with its native 1080p support) .

I'll be more interested to see if any of the effects (lighting and so on) or textures are cut back more than if COD Ghosts is running at 1080p myself - That's what will swing it for me since I'm getting both the XBox 1 and PS4 at launch

It does sound like Dice and IW haven't made proper use of the ESRAM in the One. Kind of understandable with a launch title. New hardware, new tools and PC based game code not tailored to the new x86 systems. Just happens that the PS4 is that bit more receptive to PC ports.

Once game engines and middleware are developed to make the most of the new systems, especially The One with its ESRAM and fixed function hardware, there will likely be parity with most multiplatform games.

Even though the ps4 gpu is 50% more powerful in almost every area? It's not just the ram differences.

I have a feeling MS may be going the Apple route, and we will see a new version of the one in about 12 months. After all, they were set on the DRM stuff, so may as well go all the way. I wouldn't put it past them at all.

I don't honestly think that the publishers would dare upset Microsoft by releasing 900p on XB1 and 1080p on PS4, even if they could.

Just quoting how completely wrong I was! Amazing scenes in the past days.

900p dream on

I'm tempted to get this I know Mr. B will only spam my PS3 message box with "baa baa you're a sheep baa baa"...

I doubt that, it would probably be 'baa baa your a sheep baa baaa'

[MisterBubbles]

Cause i don't like it, doesn't mean you can't, fill your boots Dog.

[Golgo]

I have received Mr Bubble's blessing! Witness this everyone. In a week's time my inbox will have a bajillion messages all going "baa baa baa".

Anyway I quite like the idea of lower player count on PS3 as it means less people who can humiliate me online.

1080p or not. doesn't make much difference if the level of detail and the quality of textures and shaders isn't up to next gen standard, right?

and let's be realistic here - neither BF4 nor CoD Ghosts will be true next gen titels in the way of showing what's possible. i expect the X1 and the PS4 to be narrowing the gap to PC within the next 6 to 12 months though.

Some good commentary here about the recent cod 720p issues for the xbox one, the POINT that i think carry's the most weight is that this new cod is a last gen game with a tweaked engine and it doesn't look that great on next gen, so it should run effortlessly on the one. whats going wrong here? you would think that anything the ps4 can do with this engine the xbox one should be able to do too for a game like this?

His points about the cloud are spot on though its a niche service and one not used on any other platform, Will third party developers devote extra time and resources to using the cloud when they can just downscale textures and release at 720p, it seems the game will still sell massively well anyway, and Looking at what Xbox gamers here and elsewhere are saying they will buy the game anyway even if it doesn't run as well on there chosen System.

BF4 (and BF3) have been very different on console. I think that from the PS4 videos I've seen, 64 player BF4 on XB1/PS4 is truely next gen, it's just that PC has been next gen for the past 3-4 years already.
