Why I’m not too worked up about the next-gen console resolution wars

A certain corner of the game-focused Internet has been busy counting pixels this week, scrutinizing statements, screenshots, and videos for evidence that either the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One is providing a clearly superior graphical experience at launch. After examining all the available evidence, it seems clear that the PlayStation 4 versions of launch games like Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty: Ghosts enjoy a slight graphical advantage over their Xbox One cousins. It also seems equally clear, to me, that the difference just isn't that big a deal—unless you plan on playing games while looking through a magnifying glass.

I'm not stressed out either.
Cause I'm getting a ps4

tordavis3819d ago

You guys keep counting pixels. If you really want the best graphics, get a PC.

HardcoreDaBoss3819d ago

amen... console graphics whorrs make me lol.

mistertwoturbo3819d ago

I got BF4 for the PC and now I regret it. While the graphics are great, it keeps crashing on me. Already updated all my drivers, reduced my overclocks, and everything. Seriously annoyed now.

AgentSmithPS43819d ago

Why get worked up, just buy a PS4 and be happy that you got the best deal.

@tordavis
Fool, why do you feel the need to point out the obvious. The PS4 version of BF4 puts out 56% more pixels that's a big f'n deal as Biden would say.

All of the PS4 gamers are going to have lots of fun, and the best part is we won't be playing with insecure little elitists.

I played on the 360 for a long time but I did my research and chose the PS4 because it gives me more of what I want for a great price.

worldwidegaming3819d ago (Edited 3819d ago )

Totally agree! Why cry about res! Last gen was 720p until someone dropped the ball and told. Nothing beats true 1080p (all my pc games run native)
Complain about something small like that you might as well jointhe superior PC race!
Im still playing super nintendo games and its fun!

blusoops3819d ago

C'mon Tor! Not everyone wants to play on PC. I personally don't enjoy it and don't want to mess with all the settings and configurations.

I have nothing against the Xbone, but I am glad I'm getting the better machine for less.

Love the warzone btw. Please don't assume everyone is a pixel counter or a "console warrior".

You could take your chances that you won't notice the difference, or you could just save yourself $100.

MRMagoo1233819d ago

you wont notice the differene if you never go near a ps4 anyway i would imagine, and most of the xbone fans seem to never want to see a ps4 in action anyway , its one of those ignorance is bliss moments i guess.

The games will be just as fun on either console which is what matters the most imo but if i have to choose which version to get ill get the one with the better res and fps kinda logical i know but some ppl wont see it that way.

worldwidegaming3819d ago

Cant get dead rising and ryse...id rather buy both! Getting the 1080p call of duty!
Best of both worlds!

3-4-53819d ago

I just want the best gameplay from games, mixed with a wide variety, and new types of games as well.

805Junior8053819d ago

If your getting a PS4, yeah, of course, you have nothing to worry about...

awesomeperson3819d ago

And neither does a limited RGB range.

When the PS4 screenshots are adjusted to crush the blacks as the Xbox One is doing, the comparison is made fair.

Please don't try to spin a 720p vs 900p and a frame rate advantage into a loss for the PS4.

lifeisgamesok3819d ago (Edited 3819d ago )

Why sure it would ;)

After the well known devs and companies say the performance of the two is the same or identical I'll take you and indie devs working on Ps4 projects words instead /s

I'm talking about John Carmack, the producer of The Evil Within, the producers of Need for Speed when they said the consoles have the same power

Link to evidence of the claim you made above please.

It's how you sound...like a moron

FITgamer3819d ago

You are obviously stressed, you've probably been the most vocal fanboy on almost every thread since these announcements.

mistertwoturbo3819d ago

Hilarious that the last picture comparison shows how much worse the Xbox One version is. Look at the stairs and all those jaggies.

Oh wait it's you, you're also the one that thinks 720p is better than 1080p. Why do I bother.

Flutterby3819d ago

Right soooooooo 125% more pixels is now a slight advantage , but when there was a few more blades of grass on red dead on the 360 it was a huuuuuuuuge deal lol, there is no slight graphical advantage it is a big advantage, bf4 over 50% more resolution with better fps proving the ps4s power over the xbone , then cod with 125% more resolution also proving without a doubt the power advantage. This gen was all about the extra 1 to 2 frames per sexing or the extra 10p in res for the 360, but now the ps4 has a bigger gap on the xbone than the xbone has on the 360 and it doesn't matter lol.

Damage control at its best.

ambientFLIER3819d ago

Read dead looked blurry as hell on the PS3, had a worse framerate and was missing details...

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot749d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250748d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface747d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop748d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno748d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel749d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps748d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888748d ago (Edited 748d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33748d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888748d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH748d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

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

Minimoth789d ago

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

KyRo789d ago

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

XbladeTeddy789d ago

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

MadLad788d 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.

TheLigX789d ago

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

Yppupdam789d 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.

victorMaje789d ago

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

MadLad788d 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.

Amplitude789d ago (Edited 789d 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
