Adam Boyes Confirms: Call of Duty: Ghosts is Native 1080p on PS4

After it was revealed that Call of Duty: Ghosts would run at 1080p on PS4 through a listing on the PlayStation Store, many people have been wondering if this meant it would just output in 1080p, or if it would be native 1080p.

[mushroomwig]

Here's the conference;

http://www.ustream.tv/plays...

[Stsonic]

PS4 is the chosen one.

[darthv72]

Where's majiebeast...? this should calm his nerves. i swear he was about to pop a spring in another thread.

[GameNameFame]

soo.... they would confirm 1080P on PS4, but not on X1.

Doesnt bode well for X1. We knew power gap was there, but no one knew if devs would take advantage.

Some said it will take 2 years for multiplat devs to take advantage.
Some said right out of gate.
Some said only exclusive devs will use more power of PS4.

I guess we will soon find out.

[Enemy]

Well, this kind confirms it's going to be 720p on Xbone. Seems like Microsoft's moneyhats didn't work this time around, now that Microsoft's sleeping with the enemy.

[quenomamen]

You're just saying that cuz a man in a robe and white beard was seen exiting Sony HQ last week.

[u got owned]

XBO version 720p confirmed. MS need to come clean and stop deceiving their costumer. Hey if the game runs at 720p 0r 900p just come out and say it and stop playing games.

[SecondSon]

Wow this conference is so humble and you can clearly see that Sony is placing the gamers first!

Happy consumers = Inevitable success!

This may just be a PR move by them but if we show our support to whichever organisation is taking this stance then the world would have to be a better place.

[ohiostatesman]

PS4 is good but still doesn't have dedicated servers for every game like the Xbox One. I am a huge fan of multiplayer online gaming. I must have fast incredible speeds with my gameplay online and no lag. That's why I chose Xbox One.

@quenomamen

who? Colonel Sanders?

LOL

[abzdine]

PS4 is destroying everything.
never two consoles releasing at the same time had this much technological gap between them. NEVER!
Even COD can't be handled correctly by X1..

[MasterCornholio]

Anyone remember the rumors from an insider a long time ago where he said that COD would be better on the PS4?

Nexus 7 2013

[nypifisel]

GameNameFame

I was pretty confident lol, it's no harder than flipping a switch really seeing how similar the architecture on both consoles are.

[medman]

Game over.

[Army_of_Darkness]

If this is true that cod ghost is running native 1080p @60fps on ps4, I will buy this over battlefield 4.

[Mad Aizen]

No "jokes" in this thread? Confirmed.

[Xsilver]

See Guys how hard was that i mean seriously Adam just said it now i'm really thinking its 720p on the Xone.

[iamnsuperman]

Microsoft must know what resolution the game plays at. We are like a month away and these details have to go on their online store. The resolution is hardly going to change in a month

Well at least we know for sure one version of COD is native 1080p. We are just going to have to wait to see what Microsoft of Activision says for the Xbox One (surely it has to be. COD isn't technically demanding)

[Omegasyde]

Based off the IGN feed, I highly doubt that. The game looks the same and isn't pushing anything either system can handle.

Now in comparison, Bf4 is upping the player count and maps sizes with scripted events i.e. tsunamis, flooding and more destruction on next gen consoles.

[B-radical]

Or there both 1080p?

[Xsilver]

@B-Radical Well since a Sony representative can Confirm it for the Ps4 why cant MS rep do the same for the Xone its odd really.

[BoriboyShoGUN]

Microsoft is killing themselves! Its a month before you're release and they act like they're hiding their games. Seems like less info is more with those guys. I'm really starting to think they're going to have to release a stronger system in a couple years because this isnt looking to good so far.

[s45gr32]

If that's true then is pretty much Sony dominating this generation of consoles. It looks like the only competitor Sony has is Valve with its upcoming Steam Machines and is owl controller (If I buy it I will add analog sticks).

[pyramidshead]

[aceitman]

https://www.youtube.com/wat...
and that's how the ps4 goes 1080p everywhere.

[Eonjay]

Incoming Megaton... Games will look better on PS4. But if you aren't into games, there is a weaker more expensive alternative.

[C-Thunder]

This actually made me laugh.

[johndoe11211]

"Games will look better on PS4. But if you aren't into games, or you're into watching a lot of tv, there is a weaker more expensive and less attractive alternative."

Fixed it for you.

[s45gr32]

LoL hahaha hahaha you are killing me.

[T2]

haha can you imagine if sony actually used that in a tv ad

"but if your not into games... you can always go for a weaker, more expensive alternative".

wow, gloves off.

[BoriboyShoGUN]

That would be nuts if the Xbox One couldnt hit 1080p on COD. They are by no means a graphical juggernaut. But I really dont give a damn Im not buying COD anyways! Its all about KZ and BF4.

[Tsar4ever01]

Well shut my mouth, And call me TREVOR!! I stand corrected!! A launch title in FULL NATIVE 1080P! Good on your console Sony. GO GO GOOOO, PS4!!!

[otherZinc]

They should've asked, why is Killzone:SF & Knack not 1080p "native" @ 60fps through single player.

[Tooly]

of course the beastly ps4

[Majin-vegeta]

Cool.

[Mr_Luke]

Uhm... good, we start seeing the differences in multiplatform games. I guess i made the right choice getting the PS4.

[Gore-Content]

Ohhh baby, this is too good! Next gen is gonna be sweeeeet!

[ziggurcat]

ruh roh... not good news for xbone fans.

one would hope, though, that it's the same resolution on xbone.

[Deltaguy]

great news that it's confirmed

[KimoNoir]

Its either x1 is gonna run this in 900p with same graphical quality or the it will run native 1080p at shittier graphics.

Im sure microsofts gonna try to get us by saying its native 1080 but not tell us it was at the cost of graphics quality.

[mark134uk]

i will lol for weeks if they couldnt achieve native 1080p on the xbone,it will be the final nail in the coffin

[ziggurcat]

i think misterx would have a heart attack or troll on about "sony lie" for weeks...

[NoLongerHereCBA]

I agree. As much as I liked reading his blog and other peoples posts, he is someone who can't be communicated with properly. I think I have been banned from his site for giving the PS4 credit where it was due. I really can't stand it when one cannot do this and only spout nonsense like: "This is so ugly blabla".

[pyramidshead]

@VaizardNL

It's an anti-sony blog what do you expect? It's not even a civil blog either to allow civil argument against the claims made there, you'll just get bombarded by delusional counter arguments and be downplayed into the horizon. The site is toxic. It's probably best you were banned, why waste effort on people who aren't going to listen to reason?

[AdventurerDonLocke]

...BOOM!

[HeavenlySnipes]

From the comments here I'm assuming the same isn't for the X1?

I'd wonder why though, they aren't really doing anything special with the game to not have it at 1080P 60FPS on both systems

[McScroggz]

My best guess is Infinity Ward is struggling to incorporate the Xbox One's eSRAM while also trying to optimize the game for all the other platforms. Plus, it's a new console in general they have to learn about. The PS4 version excels, I think, not only because it's more powerful but also because developing for it is very straightforward. The Xbox One has a legitimate bottleneck that is, unfortunately, also integral to the system's performance.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

There has been no mention but that doesn't stop the BS from flowing here..

[MRMagoo123]

I am not gonna jump on it saying the xbone version is 720p or something but the whole point is the "no mention" part , MS blows their horn every time they think they one up Sony so its kinda telling when they dont speak, but like i said i dont know and you dont know i guess we will see...........but if it is less than 1080p native OR the game has its graphics somehow downgraded to get to the 1080p on the xbone then well.......

[GodGinrai]

I think that in this instance the silence is more damaging than anything. Im still buying my X1 first but this is disheartening if true.

[u got owned]

@ The realness

Its disheartening for sure. Im not buying it at launch, i think i'll wait to see how this pans out. In the mean time PS4 will do. And this is coming from a huge Xbox fan BTW.

[Hicken]

It's actually that lack of commenting that's caused this in the first place.

[BoriboyShoGUN]

Thats what worries me for the Xbox camp, its the silence on every single damn thing that comes up.

[NateCole]

Even with 1080p the footage i saw still does not impress me. Then agian i have not been impressed with COD since COD4.

[ziggurcat]

IW certainly aren't naughty dog/crytek when it comes to graphics, that's for sure...

[mark134uk]

i agree,devs have really goto knock it out the park next year with new games,we will put poor graphics down to its a new system and they need to learn,but they have been moaning for years they want more power now they have it and they need to do there part and create mind blowing games

[thehitman]

I agree I think Activision needs to take CoD out for a year and just upgrade their engine because the ps4 vid I seen looked like garbage seriously. I mean if you just like the gameplay and dont care about appearances then can go ahead and buy it still but they definetly dont put into the game what the franchise deserves considering its the highest selling console franchise atm.

[JunkieJedi]

MS have spent the last 2 days denying they have any knowledge of the resolution it will run at on the Xbone - Sony just come out and say it.

Definitely sounds to me like Microsoft are keeping back detrimental information to me otherwise, like Sony just did, why wouldn't they just come out and say it? I refuse to believe, where multi-platforms are concerned, that either Microsoft or Sony has access to more information than the other.

[MidnytRain]

Detrimental?

[JunkieJedi]

adj: harmful

[MidnytRain]

You say "detrimental" like it'll cause a shift in sales. Hardly think resolution is a factor to your average CoD player.

[thereapersson]

People play CoD for the gameplay, not the graphics. MW2 looked great when it first came out but now it (and the engine) is looking quite dated.

[Brix90]

Don't understand Call of Duty kids love to think that its better on the X1 in every way compared to Playstation. If it failed to do so they would lose bragging rights lol

[iamnsuperman]

Unless Sony are wrong/misinformed you have hit the nail on the head there. No way would Sony know something like this and Microsoft wouldn't (especially with these systems launching so soon. They need to advertise the games properly on the online stores)

Saying that they both should know by now what resolution the game plays at natively which gives some validity to what you just said

[Omegasyde]

Yes, but how effective of a marketing pitch is"

"NOW IN 1080P AND 60 FRAMES PER SECOND"

VS.

New killstreaks, new maps, new game modes.

[JunkieJedi]

@MidnytRain okay - imagine the word 'potentially' sits before it. Better?

[solidjun5]

I don't know why he's arguing the use of detrimental. We all know what you meant.

[Software_Lover]

It's still ugly as hell. My concern was not the resolution, my concerns were about the ugly vids we have been seeing (multiplayer). Looks like trash.

[ziggurcat]

that's clearly not the fault of the hardware, though...

[Software_Lover]

Never implied that it was.

[MRMagoo123]

But what would that mean for the xbone if it cant run a game that "looks like trash" at 1080p native ?

[Software_Lover]

WTF does this have to do with the XBone? This is a ps4 article. You guys talk about the XBone more than you do about the PS4. Give it a break.

[Minato-Namikaze]

@Software Lover

Dat dodge, lol.

[Holeran]

Who would think that the PS4 couldn't handle 1080p on a game that looks last gen? From what I have seen it doesn't look better than what we are already seeing on Black Ops 2.

[LeCreuset]

How would he know that? At Microsoft, execs aren't told anything about 3rd party game resolutions or frame rate.
/s

[RadioActiveTwinky]

Omg... The Fanboys are going to have a field day.

[2pacalypsenow]

If it was native 1080p on xbone he would of said Native 1080p on xbox 1 and PS4

[Angels3785]

No he is a representative of sony. Idk why he wpuld make it his job to report the resolutions of microsofts games .

The only thing to do now is wait for confirmation on microsofts console.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

and wait...and wait...and wait.

[iamnsuperman]

Adam is "VP of Publisher & Developer Relations at Sony Computer Entertainment America" he wouldn't have the knowledge or the right talk about the Xbox One version

[Volkama]

Do we know who is the MS equivalent? Penello and co say they don't know such details about 3rd party games, but there is an MS version of Adam Boyes' team around somewhere. Do they have a public face?

[Yetter]

He was specifically asked about the PS4. Don't go jumping to conclusions.

[jatakk]

Of course they wouldn't say! It's hard to believe they would confirm anything about the XboxOne version since this was a Sony conference.

[2pacalypsenow]

didn't know he worked for Sony My bad

[Lboogieskells]

Even 1080p can't help COD.

[jay2]

That dude who doesn't know the XBO Res needs to go work for Sony, they knew 3rd party res, wonder why he doesn't.....Oh wait it's called a £250 camera being most of the cost of your xbone hardware.

[LEOPARD1030]

Then Activision is Sony's new best friend, first Destiny and now COD.

Suddenly I have interest in COD :/

Battlefield 4 at PS4 would be capped at 720p, due at technical limitations of XO and the fact that EA is very close to Micro.

[TheFutureIsBlue]

Uhoh, this isn't good for Xbox. Microsoft needs to do some damage control and confirm something soon.

[DEEBO]

Well with MS getting all buddybuddy with E.A and titanfall.

I see COD running better on the ps4,plus it's the better hardware.
Why is it so hard for some to understand.

sony went for a better gaming system MS went for a better cable box for you're smart t.v.

[horndog]

You can run this piece of turd looking game on the highest setting possible bit in the end it will still look like an outdated piece of turd 1080p or 720. I couldn't care what res the x1 res for this game is, its not worth my money.

[kingduqc]

Love how dev still got to confirm things that is a standard since 2006... Man those slow ass consoles really slowing us down.

[SpitFireAce85]

exit is that way---->

[Hakoom]

if its 1080p on ps4 it has to be 1080 on x1..
or else hell is gona freez lol
but need to see a confirmation

[sAVAge_bEaST]

The original name has stuck, the xbox720(p) -(sorry had to,)

[Statix]

So Microsoft's Phil Spencer says they don't know the resolutions or details of 3rd-party titles... yet Sony is able to confirm 1080p on Call of Duty: Ghosts on their platform? Sounds like Sony has a closer relationship with their 3rd-party partners.

Either that, or MS is just lying.

[DevilishSix]

and if Phil honestly doesn't know then WTH is he doing running Microsoft studios if any one guy should be in the know about upcoming games on his platform it would be him. So he is either lying to not hurt X1 image or he needs to be shown the door. I rather he be shown the door personally, get a fresh face and new ideas in there calling shots and approving games.

[Fishermenofwar]

Give me Back the Matrix of leadership!!

[TristanPR77]

I can imagine the new excuses the xbots will make:

Call of Duty is crap, we don't care about that game, no one likes call of duty, we are migrating now to BF4.

Microsoft will look very bad if they don't have a native 1080p version. But be aware, they are capable of lying to save their backs.

[FANTA1180]

they will just buy it and play it like any other damn game ....resolution doesnt make a game ...

ps3 sold tons of launch window titles that looked horrible compared to xbox 360 versions , and nothing stopped them from selling the games ...

noone cares fanboy.

[SEAN1617]

I really wish Micro Soft would just stop the PR diarrheal. Sony did a great job in their messaging, in their marketing, and their system design, pure and simple.

[Metfanant]

complete power move by Sony...they see the rumors floating around the internet, they know the feelings of the gaming community right now...they have very little reason to come out and make this comment other than to stick it in MS' face...

if im Sony im plastering this type of stuff all over the place from now until launch...things like "The PS4 is the ONLY console with native 1080p shooters" "PS4: The home of true 1080p Call of Duty"

in the grand scheme it means little because the game will play the same...and a lot of people wouldnt know the difference unless they saw them side by side...but Sony needs to shout this type of stuff from the rooftops...

[n4rc]

How does a Sony rep saying its one thing for his platform somehow mean x1 isn't the same?

This isn't IW.. Its Sony.. Why would they mention the Xbox?

[TKCMuzzer]

I think its more about the silence from the other camp. If a Sony spokesman says the PS4 is native 1080p then you would expect a Microsoft spokesman to follow suit. Its known as good PR to keep your user base informed and not let negativity spread about your products.

[n4rc]

Hyrb already stated they dont comment on 3rd party games when asked the same flamebait question about titan fall

The negativity never ends.. Been 5 months of it.. Maybe they are like me and just ignoring it all now..

Just like this article.. You'd swear IW made this comment and not a Sony rep.... He's lying!!!! That would be the response if ms made that claim

[TKCMuzzer]

@n4
Their not asking flamebait questions, consumers want to know the answers. The amount of money Microsoft throw at Activision they can easily get answer on this.
As for ignoring the negativity, its there for a reason, misinformed answers and poor communication from Microsoft, it should not be ignored at any cost. Like all companies, they should have to work for their customers.

[FANTA1180]

u do realize one camp is closer to releasing than the other ...

[n4rc]

Really?

Suddenly everyone cares about cods resolution yet nobody seems to know the res of the last 3-4 titles... Under 720 fyi

Its flamebait because thr people asking dont really care.. They just want ammo to keep slinging bs around

[FANTA1180]

everyone on here automatically assumes ...

[jspillen]

Regardless of how it will run on the Xbone, they aren't building confidence by constantly doing damage control. I'm sure the system is powerful enough, but I just don't think the Xbone was ready for release in 2013.

[felidae]

720p ... 1080p doesn't matter that much to me!

it's the PSN i'm worried about and that's why i'll get the XB1 for sure.

[Real_gamer]

Lol they asking yoshida he's saying he doesn't know but suddenly he's coming out saying its native 1080p damage control or BS

[oODEADPOOLOo]

Wait if Sony Reps know what res third party games have why dosent microsoft?

: http://n4g.com/news/1378854...

#WhatdoesMicrosoftKnow

lol

[ssbains]

Microsoft is busy word smithing its PR statement, they want to spin 1080p upscaled, cloud blast processing, designed a balanced system, better with Kinect, oh wait DLC timed exclusive in 720p first upscaled to 1080p

[Rivitur]

Just typing this to see if anyone actually reads the second page of comments. ; D

[Mister_G]

So what resolution does the X1 render CoD:G at?

Edit: I hope rendering at 1080p doesn't result in any loss of control responsiveness. CoD has always tended to be a twitch shooter.

[SpinalRemains138]

That's a bitter pill for XOne.

Its exposing the weakness of the device. If a wildly popular launch title is running at a lower resolution on a more expensive machine, even hardcore XBots are going to jump ship. Why stay? Seriously?

[rammstein91]

after all those collaboration between xbone and cod,it ends up with 720p res.it has fizzled out,ps4 stays superior

[srd4484]

Famous getting owned by Penello on twitter...
famousmortimer ‏@atPeteDodd 18h
It's really weird that @amboyes knows what resolution CoD is on his console but @albertpenello doesn't know what it is on his...

Albert Penello ‏@albertpenello 17h
@atPeteDodd @amboyes I'm pretty sure Adam runs publisher relations, and I'm pretty sure I don't. C'mon Pete, you're better than this.

[5eriously]

I said this before! Where there are smoke there is usually a fire and when there are lots of smoke it's a huge fire. A smoking gun also points to the fact that thee gun was used.

It's not so much what M$ are saying it's what they are not saying that's seems like a smoking gun. Thus they themselves give credence to all the rumours and NO fanboi can blame anyone but M$ themselves for this mess.

I hope M$ and the devs fix whatever the issues are but from this moment on I can and will only accept the rumours UNTIL M$ confirms otherwise or we see for ourselves very soon!

[DevilishSix]

Whats interesting is that for years MS has had a "we do not comment on rumors" policy. Problem with that way of thinking is that it allows rumors both good and bad to fester and gather momentum. I was hoping with this new lady in charge she would have dropped that old corporate way of thinking and be more transparent, but maybe it would show the consoles weakness to much to overcome in marketing and PR if they did that.

[Reem]

Major Nelson: "I can't wait for the truth to come out!" LOL

[Thomaticus]

I don't know, if 1080P 60FPS is possible on Xbox One, and as a Playstation consumer I absolutely do not care. What makes me happy is that if 1080p isn't possible on Xbox One that the PS4 version isn't gimped as a result. I don't care about other consoles, and what they can and cannot do... I do believe that the game should be optimized for each system's strengths.
