Resolutiongate (resolution discussion)

The order 1886 runs in 800p at 30fps=amazing looking visuals can we all play together now

Here is a question, Xbox one owners who are going to be suffering a 180pixel loss of vertical resolution , would you prefer that developers rendered black borders around the endue of you screen, resolution in a couple of CM loss of screen size, but maintaining native pixel mapping?

That is a superb point, and if the option exsisted, i would already own an xbone.

Then again i certainly dont fall into the category of player who can barely tell the difference, and find that almost unbelievable.

What makes it even worse, is the fact that my eyes are far from perfect.

But that's a stylistic choice on the part of Ready At Dawn. It isn't born out of any technical short comings of the PS4 hardware (that we know of).

My point being if a game can look that good at 800p,the xbox one even with limitations is going to have some great looking titles.Ive got both machines and Ryse looked great on the one.From a gaming point of view it just seems a bit senseless all this cross examination.Lets just play ball

That's what they said at first, since then they've stated that reducing the resolution allows them to put 4xMSAA on it.

It's either that or 1080p with no AA

I don't think anybody is doubting that games can still look very good on the XBox One, or that they can't be equally enjoyable for people who only own that format.

But people are discussing the technical differences between two different versions of a game. Differences that are more important to some people than others, but still valid points of discussion. From the perspective of reviewing and comparing two different versions of a game, it would be irresponsible to *not* discuss the technical differences.

I'd rather the XBO games didn't add a border to the image to compensate. For example, I can see the difference swirching between XBO titles that are lower res to PS4 titles that are higher but without that direct comparison it isn't pronounced enough to warrant work arounds.

Good call splitting off the topic.
BF4 looks amazing at 900p. If you told me it was 1080p I'd believe you! I think that when you run at 60fps then resolution becomes less important.
I don't think letter boxing is necessary, unless that's some kind of look the devs are going for.

Agree. 900p with all the bells and whistles plus 60fps would be ideal on big TV gaming.

Its hardly "irresponsible" though is it.
How many people honestly care that much other than a few Fanboys/internet bores?
People who own either console will be buying that version...what the Xbox version is like has no bearing on the version I will be playing.
People with both consoles will be glad of the info, but not the 27 pages of "LOL M$ SUX LOL" that follow.

So seeing as a bunch of grown men still act like schoolboys arguing over a spectrum/c64 I second the sentiment that splitting the threads was a good idea

As good as bf4 looks, i find it shimmers and softens when you pan around on ps4 which gives away scaling.

900p is at the bare minimum of acceptability for me, of course graphics generally as good as bf4's always help overall.

I'm still on 1024x768! Yeah baby. 2007 technology for the win! I have yet to witness all this 900p and 1080p goodness.

Its actually quite funny that the arguing is generally done by the camp that fall into the "we dont care" category.

If people dont care, then why do they care so much...

I care, and i dont take too kindly to backhanded comments about being an internet bore etc just because i look at the technical side of things closely, if i wanted a forum full of average joe opinions i wouldn't have signed up here.

Websites like eurogamer do digital foundry face off's, and go into much more detail about comparisons, so obviously more people care than you might think, and take it to levels that barely get touched upon on this forum.

I've said it before and i'll say it again, without internet bores like some of us, you'd probably still be playing most of your games in 50hz.

Titanfall last night not 1080p who gives a flying.....
