PS4 Vs Xbox One: in praise of the ludicrous, magnificent COD: Ghosts resolution wars

You have to admire his honesty. Infinity Ward executive producer Mark Rubin there, setting some corners of the internet aflame with one nonchalantly-phrased, specially extended tweet confirming a minor difference between the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Call Of Duty: Ghosts.

Most people might have seen this, shrugged, and probably moved on with their lives. But many didn’t. In an unprecedented piece of timetabling for the games industry, we’re about to see a new PlayStation and a new Xbox arrive within days of each other, and Sony and Microsoft are battling over each and every sale. This stuff matters.

From the same magazine that gave us this cover:

'The difference is hardly noticeable' OK

xHeavYx3822d ago

This picture gives you a good example of the "minor difference"

I Think Edge is trying to put down the fire they started with the PS4 as your nex gen console cover

NewMonday3822d ago

the new pre-order charts show people do care with shifts in BF4 and CoD sales in favor of the PS4, and it's not a full week of the news yet.

Spread these to their respected fanboys in these types of articles. Discorage this behavior!

sigfredod3822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

Actually i don't think so, only to lower the flame a little, but on the article they still sustain their affirmation

RickHiggity3822d ago

@Angels3785 is right. How old are you guys? 13? 14?

ambientFLIER3821d ago (Edited 3821d ago )

Heavy -

Give me a break, that picture doesn't tell us shit. It all depends on how good the upscaler is on the xbox and whether the 720P allowed the developers to have a better framerate or extra effects. Only a direct side by side comparison will show us.

GameNameFame3821d ago

Just turn down your PC resolution to 720p. Tell me that is 'minor'.

My eyes can't see half the stuff correctly. So blurry

mewhy323821d ago

The difference in 720p and 1080p is a big deal. No matter how you try and spin it.

3-4-53821d ago

huge difference from that chart/graph.

Can't wait until launch so we can start getting all the full real info about everything.

"Microsoft, meanwhile, plays the role of the blundering, but filthy rich, corporate giant – first announcing a console built around what it wants, then quickly amending those plans when it realised no-one else did. It’ll succeed by way of buying up format exclusives and spending whatever it takes on marketing."

This blurb pretty much sums up what so many feel about MS and the X1.

n4rc3821d ago

Jesus... Sony is just as much a corporate giant.. And what about sony buying the rights for bf3 and ac4 to gain dlc early?

Lemme guess.. Its OK for Sony to do that, but if ms pays for cod dlc.. Its bad...

Its so blatantly obvious the double standard people hold in their minds..

And youll miss the fact that x1s were still in high demand even when "everyone" hated it..

GribbleGrunger3822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

I posted this on Gaff for their appraisal. It's going to be an entertaining few hours.

What people don't seem to understand is that they're viewing those comparison gifs on a monitor. What they need to do is 'view image' and if they have Firefox, enlarge the image to something approaching a 40" TV. Then and only then will it hit them! Jaggies on jaggies off.

GribbleGrunger3822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

Here's one such gif. Don't forget to enlarge it, and you too will be enlightened:

Pintheshadows3822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

You can see the difference without enlarging the image.

The easiest thing to look for is the text on the weapon model.

DoesUs3822d ago

LOL. Like i said "no one will notice". Suppose they won't notice the price difference aswell?

Oh you Edge.

svoulis3822d ago

All versions were confirmed for Dedicated Servers.

Try again.

Oh, and here.

Pintheshadows3822d ago

What amuses me more is even though one is clearly better than the other the game looks terrible either way.

n4rc3821d ago

Lol.. No it wasn't..

Ps4 is using some hybrid p2p setup with some servers for match making... Your game is still being hosted on some random dudes ps4

n4rc3819d ago

"Will use a hybrid setup of dedicated servers and listen servers"

Thanks for the link that proves my point.. Guess you didn't read more then the headline... It was only one line down lol

svoulis3819d ago

@N4RC

Please go look up what a Hybrid server actually is . It is in fact a dedicated server. In the same way that on XO you will still have 10 yr olds screaming in your ear.

Why not both?

Enemy3822d ago

And the dedicated servers card fails you once more.

bobsmith3822d ago

People saying its not that big a deal probably because its just the yearly cod but what if it was gta v this would be huge I bet

DestinyHeroDoomlord3822d ago

Not many like to admit they like cod, which is why it's a big deal

bobsmith3822d ago

gta v would look crazy in 1080p compared to 720p though think about that

Sci0n3822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

I know PS4's launch will be huge but I have a feeling it just got a whole new crap load of people ready to cancel there X1 preorders and crash the stores for them PS4's lol.

HardcoreDaBoss3822d ago

no not really at all. Most people dont pay attention to the resolution of a game unless there pc nerds who care about specs only. Oh and console fan girls.

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth791d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo791d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy791d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad791d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX791d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam791d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje791d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad791d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude791d ago (Edited 791d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark891753d ago (Edited 1753d ago )

Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.

zeal0us1753d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild1753d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us1752d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai1752d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
