Resolution boosted for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on Xbox One

Digital Foundry: "Perhaps Sledgehammer Games is making a technological statement with the reveal of its first solo Call of Duty title. The recent release of the new trailer - brought forward in the wake of an unexpected leak - is all gameplay, captured from the Xbox One version of the game. This may come as something of a surprise bearing in mind that last year's COD was at the centre of the Resolutiongate debate, running at just 720p on the new Microsoft console, compared to the native 1080p of the PS4 build."

[gameseveryday]

So Digital Foundry is 'assuming' the resolution from a trailer. Interesting.

[ats1992]

Why is Digital Foundry trying to count pixels in the trailer anyway the game was just revealed and it is still in development. Plus they are already assuming what the final resolution is imo this article is retarded.

[christocolus]

I thought the same thing too,imo they should be patient enough to wait for the release of the game before doing a break down. They seem so eager.. One thing is for sure though, that game looks amazing...a big step frm cod ghost.

[grassyknoll]

99% of the time resolution will not change from a reveal. the same 6 months are bug fixes & optimising the frame rate.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

DF is pixel counting a release trailer because it gets you to click on their article. Plain and simple.

[Mr Pumblechook]

At the front of the trailer it says something like "all footage captured on Xbone." This means that Microsoft have put up the money and still have the exclusive DLC for Call of Duty .

I'm all for Activision developer teams improving the quality of the Xbone version but it would be wrong if Microsoft money is being used to change development decisions and make the console the lead platform thus gimping the PlayStation 4 edition. Sadly it seems that Microsoft is returning to their "Pay to Gimp" policies to limit the performance difference of competing versions. :(

[Talidan]

Slow news day, it seems.

[CJDUNCAN]

It's because of the outcry of 1080p on PS4 vs lower resolutions on the X1. Gaming not about the games anymore, it's about the resolutions from what some gamers keep arguing over.

[Sevir]

How Gimped was Ghost on PS4 when The footage they revealed for ghost to be running on XBOX One? Again... The optimisation made on XBOX One carries over to PS4... If they managed to increase the resolution from 720p to 900p with 60fps on XBOX One, then the experience is that much more refined on PS4, which has faster more accessible memory and a better GPU...

So again... A better optimized Xbox One game = a better Game on PS4... If you haven't noticed... Devs haven't been going for parity since this generation started...

If you lead on a weaker system you'll maximize the benefits of said system, but since the PS4 and XBO share a similar CPU and GPU set up, the PS4 will also benefit by virtue of having 50% more overhead in virtually every facet in comparison.
.

I'm just happy sledgehammer has put some work into making Call of Duty look impressive again visually! I want to see how the game stacks up now in game play... If they still stick to that formula recycled since MW2 where an AI partner who narrates your every move from shooting something to running to the next check point when a setpiece is triggered then I'm ignoring this year's entry just like I have done since MW.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

@MrPumblechook "but it would be wrong if Microsoft money is being used to change development decisions and make the console the lead platform thus gimping the PlayStation 4 edition. Sadly it seems that Microsoft is returning to their "Pay to Gimp" policies to limit the performance difference of competing versions."

Really? Care to share your evidence of this? And if you say the ID@xbox parity clause you are just dead wrong as that has nothing to do with quality of game.

[FriedGoat]

Dlacy13g

Are you stupid? Why did the trailer even have to MENTION what console it was running on? Thats right, it didn't.

The only reason it said "running on Xbox one" is because Micro$oft paid for it to, and most likely paid to make it the lead platform. I'm not sure if your a real M$ gamer if you don't even know their practices.

[tuglu_pati]

@FriedGoat

So I guess Sony payed Ubisoft too, to make PS the lead platform or does it only apply to MS...

[OC_MurphysLaw]

@FriedGoat Are you somehow not understanding that MS has a deal in place for a long time to get the DLC timed exclusive which also lets them advertise the game with "on Xbox" at the end similar to what Sony did with Destiny?

MS has had that deal in place for many years prior to this gen as well as in place last year with COD Ghosts which, news flash, had better resolution on the PS4. And yet all the ads for the game still had "on Xbox" at the end. Its called a marketing deal...clearly you might want to educate yourself on how they work.

[FriedGoat]

You obviously must be stupid. You just repeated what I said and then said I don't know what I'm talking about? The length of the deal and the DLC are completely irrelevant to this convorsation, hence I didn't mention them.

Upping the resolution does not mean that the PS4 was lead, res can be bumped at a push of a button. I'm just saying, either the Xbone is lead, or they just make some ugly games.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

@FriedGoat you specifically said their was no reason to mention this game is on Xbox One. It mentions it because that footage was on Xbox One and they revealed it using the xbox footage. If the didn't mention it was on Xbox One people like yourself would be running around asking "what version did they show"?

You did say they probably had a marketing deal in place which we both agree (and know) that MS does have a marketing deal in place for timed exclusivity on dlc as well as a marketing tie in. You also however said they probably paid to have it be lead platform. My point to your point was even if the X1 was the lead platform, that didn't stop the game last time from shipping in a higher resolution on PS4 vs X1. Basically lead platform means nothing in this situation given the game is shipping to numerous platforms including last gen.

Also, I love the notion that we can just flip a button to up the resolution and there is nothing else that needs to be done. Someone needs to send a message to all the developers out there that its just that simple to make your game in a higher resolution.

The only "stupid" people on these boards are those that openly name call and attack others who are trying to have discussions about games. If you get so worked up you need to insult people to try and make your point I would suggest that your points are lost in translation. The only thing people see from your posts (atleast in this thread) is the ugly side of N4G.

[Abriael]

I know why. It's Saturday. Slow news day.

[ZombieKiller]

MAYBE they were paid to say so? Not sure but I know Microsoft can be sneaky sometimes. I can see this being a direct result of last years uproar about the PS4 version being higher resolution. Maybe a PR stunt, maybe not. I can never tell with these guys because they spew epic crap sometimes.

I wonder how long this 30 day exclusitivity will last with the PS4 selling the way it is too. I hate the way us Playstation fans are treated by them honestly.

[Gamer1982]

With that deal they have with MS if it wasn't boosted I would think MS would be pretty annoyed with Activsion this year around. Whats the point of having all the exclusive timed DLC if the game looks better on your rivals console?

[Bigpappy]

M$ themselves and some developers have said the resolution gap will go away as the toolsets are improved for X1.

You people swear by DF, but they noticed a huge performance gain judging from the trailer. So now some of you and having a shizzy fit and questioning their judgment.

[warczar]

@ats992

"imo this article is retarded."

How many articles about COD have you read that weren't?

[nicksetzer1]

Hmmm, gameplay in trailer looked very good, who cares what the res is if it still looks great anyway? IDK why small variances in multiplats became so important this gen.

[AceBlazer13]

They were important last gen and the differences were even smaller. No reason it's gonna change out of the blue.

[URNightmare]

Because it was so important last gen.

[nicksetzer1]

@ace @nightmare last gen the PS3 was 200$ more and had lower res and framerate on multiplats, and % wise, they were actually more noticable than almost anything this gen. Yes the numbers were smaller (ie 640p vs 480p) but with scale in mind, that is a HUGE difference.

@N4gamingm I didn't say why is this article made, I said why is it suddenly 5x more important this gen?

All this aside, I find it ironic, the people who supported the PS3 regardless of resolution are now the same people suddenly claiming it is all that matters. (Especially ironic since it takes minutes of studying a still frame to even realize the differences this gen) Same with PS2 (weakest console of the 3 by far) and PS1.

Just as with last gen, both are similar and have their benefits. I have both, enjoy both, and look forward to the GAMES each will bring, not un-noticable differences. I don't sit and study still frame screenshots all day though, so what do I know.

EDIT: @IMT
640p/480p = 1.333
1080p/900p = 1.2
So yes, more noticable, not to mention dx10 helping looks and framerate issues of the cell (skyrim for example)... I agree though, the differences were VERY small last gen, even smaller this gen. (So far) Just like last gen, the differences aren't really enough to completely ignore the other.

More noticeable than anything this gen??? :ROLLEYES:

Nice spin dude. 650p and 472p are VERY SMALL DIFFERENCE than 1080p vs. 900p vs. 720p. Btw. resolution difference for COD on X360/PS3 is about 50p.

One of COD comparison : http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

[fr0sty]

It was important last gen, and the differences are even greater this gen. Last gen, you may have had a game run at 640p on PS3 and 720p on 360 due to 360's unified RAM (though the opposite was true in a few cases as well, when resolution got bottlenecked by 360's 10mb EDRAM). You're talking a couple hundred thousand pixel difference at most per frame.

This gen, you're seeing games release at 720p on XO and 1080p on PS4, which is well over a 1 million pixel difference between the two. You're tossing an extra megapixel into every frame. Some of us have smaller TVs so it won't matter as much, but for those of us who are quality enthusiasts and have large televisions/monitors, the difference is definitely visible.

This difference will grow even more as the consoles expand into VR, where you need 2 960x1080 images rendered per eye at 60fps minimum. Even PS4 will have to cut back to pull that off. That's when the PC master race will get to really flex their muscles with Oculus, which will be outperforming the consoles by a wide margin by then.

WTF calculation is this????

640x480 = 307200 pixels ( about 27% less pixels from 576p )
768x576 = 442368 pixels
1280x720 = 921,600 pixels ( 56% less pixels from 1080p )
1600x900 = 1 440 000 pixels ( 30% less pixels from 1080p )

1920x1080 = 2073600 pixels

720p to 1080p is very noticeable.
900p to 1080p is also noticeable.

So, according to this, difference are much smaller last gen than on this gen.

Stop spinning, dude. MGS : GZ @720p vs. 1080p are veeeery noticeable. Xbone, PS3 and X360 version are the same in resolution terms, so i compared PS3 version @720p vs. PS4 version @1080p. Yuck!!!

[Why o why]

Sites like DF and LoT made resolution important. Its too late to close the gate now the horse has bolted.

The differences are greater this gen and some people have rightly or wrongly remembered the fuss made over the smaller differences last gen and ask why those same screamers now cry morality.

If we didn't fuel such sites, we wouldn't be so far down this reslution path. If you cared last gen you have to take your medicine this gen. If you didn't care then ignore the banter and bickering but you really shouldn't chastise those who are exposing hypocrites imo.

[Jumper09]

Why do we buy new hardware?...

peoples logic sometomes.

[aPerson]

You people take the fun out of gaming.

Enjoy arguing over pixel counts - I'll enjoy owning both consoles and I look forward to playing Quantum Break and The Order: 1986 within the next year.

[TheTwelve]

Digital Foundry needs something to do.

[wicked]

I have no faith in DF, they couldn't even get KZ correct and they had the game, now they are using YouTube trailers. They should wait

[FanboyKilla]

They are jus trying to stir up a fuss to give them something to talk about for traffic. Let it go only an arse would even think xone wasnt capable of 1080p. It was just the little peoples claim to fame in the begining. What will you guys say now when the resolution gate isnt a issue? Bet you come up with something, i mean (RESOLUTION GATE) lol classic. You are going to pull a muscle with all that reaching. Big ups to sledge, and duty on xone. Home sweet home.

[gameDevWannaBe]

lol 1080p is old as sh#t.

[I_am_Batman]

It's the current standard. Most studies estimate about 75-80% of people have HDTVs (in US and EU). The rest percentage is mostly still on SDTVs.

[Future_2015]

If xbox Juan cannot do 1080p on ghosts then it won't to it on this title. There's no secret SLI build on the machine or hidden power from an x86 architecture unless the developer has no idea what they are doing which is rare for big companies, just pc logic

[miDnIghtEr20C_SfF]

If they said this was the PS4 version, not a question would be asked why Digital Foundry is counting pixel on a trailer.

[maniacmayhem]

No doubt about it.

[DVS-Zev]

I was thinking to myself, man, i'll laugh my ass off if this was by Richard leadbetter..

And sure enough.. lol

This guy is reaching sessler levels of closet fanboyism.

[porkChop]

Regardless of resolution, the game looks fantastic. I'll be getting the game on PS4 and if it looks at least as good as the Xbox One version I will be very satisfied.

[MightyNoX]

You implying the PS4 can't output 882p (which is what this game's resolution appears to be?)

[porkChop]

Huh? I'm not talking about resolution. I'm talking about the graphics themselves...

[FriedGoat]

Wait what? Are we looking at the same game? I personally thought it looked like a steaming turd.

[Jumper09]

Game will look better on PS4 ;)

[Clown_Syndr0me]

I remember when gaming was about the gameplay.

[AO1JMM]

Not no more

[Revolver_X_]

So COD is a polished turd now? Meh.

[I_am_Batman]

When was that? I've been gaming for 20 years and whenever a new game came out the first general reaction was: "look at those graphics".

When arguing with friends wether the Mega Drive/Genesis or the SNES was the better console graphics was always a big factor. I'm not saying gameplay wasn't important but I think it's still important as well.

[DrJones]

It wasn't as bad as it is now.

[I_am_Batman]

@DrJones: Just because there was no internet back then. Also gaming have become much more mainstream nowadays. As long as I'm getting great games I don't mind some friendly arguing about the tech.

[Baka-akaB]

It was the same ... people just didnt have the net , and there werent as many gamers as now .

You had people hype superior version of Aladdin on megadrive . Other arguing about the supernes mode 7 wich allowed Starfox , or the size of cartridges .

People were actually sick when they noticed inferior version of multiplatform games .

The main dfference , besides the "internet b*tch*ng" , is that then devs werent afraid of using each console to the fullest , the inferior version be damned . There was no parity "rules" or self restriction like last gen on ps3/360 .

People need to get off their high horse with their "i play games not graphics" antics .That card is oddly only played when a side is "behind" in that race . It's as petty , in most cases , as "who cares about XX being exclusive , i never wanted that game anyway"

For some of us , console graphics and tech are just an interesting field to learn , discuss and debate about . it always was , aand always will be

[filchron]

I remember when buying something less powerful for more money was about stupidity not just blind brand loyalty

[Anzil]

It still is you get the same gameplay on both consoles we are just stating that the ps4 will have higher resolution. Honestly not trying to be a dick man just heard this used so much.......

[Tedakin]

My god, this is what it's come to? Counting pixels in a montage reveal trailer 6 months before the game's release?

[beerzombie]

Not to Ps4 Fan boys/and Girls they count pixels and take away bubbles. Why you ask? because that's what they are;
"A false feeling of confidence or security"

[styferion]

no no, not "PS4 Fanboys", it's just "Fanboys" because the exact same thing happens the last gen with Xbox fanboys, which, based on your logic that's what they are: "A false feeling of confidence or security".

[beerzombie]

Well I will agree with that. It's a shame that's were us gamers are at this moment jibing each other, but right now A lot of Sony fan people are the worst.

Great system a lot of horrible people.

[PS3and4_HAS_GAMES]

Was not impressed with the trailer. Just another call of duty game with the same repetitive gameplay.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

To be fair they didn't show any gameplay. It isn't the same old gameplay, pretty much everything in that trailer was non existent in previous CODs.
It will probably be crap, but your comment is total bull.

[xST3R]

They did show gameplay, are you blind? -_-

[Matt666]

if you noticed it just BO2 all over again or are you one of these fanboys who will turn a blind eye to a "new" COD every year when it just a copy and paste effort

[Maninja]

The part where the infra-red grenade was gameplay because we can see a reticle.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

@All Above
Oh okay I watched again - my bad. But the only real similarities I see is that its a FPS war game.
What did you expect, a racer? A TPS? a Platformer?!
And no Im not a COD fanboy, I played a total of 4 hours on Ghosts Online...as I said its probably gonna be crap - I'm just trying to be fair by saying I see alot of new things.
New for Call of Duty that is, nothing I havent seen elsewhere though.

[PS3and4_HAS_GAMES]

I said I was impressed with the trailer.. and im sure the game play will be the same but now you can jump higher in machine suits..woohoo...just another renter

[RevXM]

Its the same, with addition of powersuits and deployable covers.

VTOL aircraft = still aircrafts and have seen vtols in previous CODs.

Hoverbikes = Floaty turbucharged snowmobiles.

Drones = werent those in Blops 2 also?

Scripted events/QTE = yes?

Guy exiting door and being thrown over = yeah?

Wall climbing = yes only it was a snowy mountain and pick axes.

Rapelling = yup.

Its going to be the same, but I guess the suits will bring some new dynamics to it and thats the boldest thing to happen in the COD universe since they moved away from WW2 and Ill give them that.

Ever since COD 4 it has only been additions and recycling rather than alterations. That worked okay for a couple games, Not going to lie I LOVED IW until they split and I realised that it was all downhill from here with treyarch taking the lead and IW being broken under the tyranny of AV.

Color me interested in COD: AW, suits are awesome and core play mechanics are good but Im not convinced it is much different, and the graphics while more impressive judging by the trailer are largely the same. Ghost looked like crap in the end and it promised and made a big deal out of the supposed new engine and power of next gen.

But it was the same recycling cashgrab with overpriced dlc and short ass campaign as ever only now on next gen systems with dogs, fish AI and perfectly rounded scopes... yet crap ass lighting, weak textures and more.

[Immorals]

The fact that this is an average looking game, on an old engine, with a 3 year Dev cycle and still doesn't make 1080p just goes to show how lazy developers can be..

[Jazz4108]

There is plenty of time to hit 1080p 60fps if that is what really matters to you. The only AAA game you must own is forza then if that again is all that matters. Now back to reality those graphics looked great running on the one and with all the new improvements microsoft has in the pipeline its only going to get better. I am going to be really watching this game as Kevin Spacey is one of my favorite actors and hes not about to be in a game or movie with a terrible story. Sledgehammer has not given us gamers a reason to not believe this could be great and beyond all the other crap the game play and fps and then graphics are the most important elements in todays games. If you like to boast my system can do this and yours cant then consoles are not the game for you. Go build a pc or better yet build a better machine then you might have relevancy behind what is said as right now it just comes off as fanboy drivel and its sickening. Whoever started this resolution gate and whoever is trying to do all they c an to see it continue can not be a gamer as a gamer is excited about games not the machine its played on or counting pixels and coming to forums to brag. N4g get back to gaming and leave the hating to other sites and you wil see this site grow and be a great place to get gaming news and talk to your mates. Sorry for the rant and no offense to the person I replied to its strictly a difference in our opinions.

[Revolver_X_]

All he mentioned was 1080p. Nice try stealth trolling adding the 60fps to fit your argument. Every game on Ps4 except BF4 is native 1080p. Run along , your bridge is calling.

[Immorals]

What's with the massive essay? I couldn't even get past the first few lines..

Edit, I struggled through it and for some reason he brings up the ps4, and implies that it's the only console I own, and that the only game I own is forza 5..

[Jumper09]

It will be 1080p on PS4 :)

Can people stop with this old Engine argument already? The CoD Engines got upgraded with new graphics tech. There is not much left from the old Q3 Engine.

AWs Engine probably uses a deferred Renderer, so that will be the problem for the Xbone again.

[knoxin]

Fun comment..............1080p on Xbox One 4K on PS4 resolution Gate continues

[heisenberguk]

Trailers are always touched up, you'd think DF would know that!!

[bornsinner]

oh how i hate kinect, power sacrificed by the peado cam.

[Predaking77]

I think is to early to say the official resolution of the x1.

Anyway, the x1 resolution MUST be 1080p this time, there is no excuses, if somehow it turns out the x1 resolution is not 1080p there is going to be another big resolution gate.

So expect it to be 1080p, there is really no excuses this time.

[DJ]

The could do 1080p. But it's going to require a lot of effects and the overall visual quality to be reduced compared to the PS4 version.

We'll see what happens once Digital Foundry gets the retail copies. They're very good about breaking down the true resolution of a game.

Honestly though, even 900P at this point would be fine.

[DrJones]

True.

[ironmonkey]

damn they gotta work to make a resolution for xbox one? sad.

[thexmanone]

You know what's sad is PS4 Fans worried at what I will be playing on my Xbox. Thanks for you concern, but I spend my money the way I want too. How about just enjoy the games you get and I will enjoy mine and stop worrying so much.

[Edvin1984]

DO NOT CARE lol DAY ONE BUY!!! I will get this on PC for the 4k eye candy. Underwood is not to be crossed :P

[Deltaohio]

Soooo it's evident digital foundry plays pixels and not games. It's it requires you to do math to figure out the difference between its resolution and w/e 1080p is then you obviously are just trying to start problems. I thought the game looked awesome. You can tell me it's 480p for all I care it looks beautiful. I don't need to count pixels to know that.

[Nodoze]

**sniff sniff** I smell MS money hat over at DF. It is a damn trailer...of course it looks good. 90% of it was cut scenes as well.

Damage control continues over at MS.

[frankdrebin72]

sniff sniff you smell ms money??
find that hard t believe considering your nose is up sonys arse.
well it appears so,..quite frankly i doubt the guys at df would be happy for you to say that??
yet again,..most of you peeps are so insecure that whenever xbox one news arrives younfeel the need to pop over and post your unbiased opinion,..sure its your opinion,..but you along with others throwing the same shite about ms and their money,...its really sad.
destiny has ps.
watchdogs has ps
guess what ,..those devs didnt pick sonys ps4 as lead platform for the good of their hearts.
it was P A I D for when Sony had money.
Its how things work.
So you and the rest of the cockroaches really need to re evaluate your lil digs,..make them bomb proof,..this i can take,..but to toss shit like that about,..christ. you make out as if sony are fucking virginal.
As for the resolution of the game,..grow up,..Who the heck counts pixels in a trailer??...eh??..someone with sod all else to do but start the ball rolling .
As long as the game delivers( not a cod fan here) ..then thats what matters...but hey,.they hang a hook out with a nice juicy worm and lo and behold the fanatical sony drones,..not the real fans,..but the ones who are toooo close to their mummy,..pop up and swallow the hook,line and sinker.

[Nodoze]

Easy there cowboy. It is apparent from your post where your loyalties lie. In addition it is just a game console.

Take a breath and 'evaluate yo lil digs' whatever that means. LOL. It is sad to see the impact of public school education.

and for the record I am not aligned to anyone. My nose is on my face, and not in someone's posterior.

[frankdrebin72]

@Nodoze

True

[RealtorMDandDC]

I love my entertainment in 1080p.

I watch all my movies in 1080p. My Galaxy S5 plays content and shoots videos in 1080p. I tend to go see a movie in Imax versus a standard movie theater.

I have a full HD television for a reason. Full HD entertainment.

[DoubleM70]

OMG! You don't here Xbox fans slamming Sony over Destiny and WatchDogs being the lead(PS4) for those games. Why are Sony Fanboys so worried about Microsoft putting money up for this.

The Hypocrisy!

[candy_mafia]

Still looks good even if at under 900p. But really, the only concern should be that COD AW materializes into an amazing multi plat game.

If developers can achieve 1080p on PS4 as well as X1 in higher fidelity games, then that should be applauded IMO.

It's awesome that PC gamers can run games higher than 1080p, but for the price, comparatively at least, I think console owners get a good version of the same game.

[pickle1234]

Yeah well basing this off a preview doesnt mean a thing. They'll probably scale the game down to sub 1080P upon release. check out this BS. These people seem to really talk up the Xbox Cloud, They predicts Sony's death.

[g4n]

So THATS how the XBONE is going to get better.

[notyobizhwispndmymny]

I have no respect for any Eurogamer, never did and now never will. Before you click the disagree button, ask yourself what gaming has become. We are now counting pixels in a Trailer of a game, not the game itself, a 2min+ trailer. To all platform agnostic gamers I say bravo and you will always have my respect and buckle up cos this is going to be one disaster of a generation. Fanboys will gain more foothold and the world will never see gaming as something serious people do. To all the clickbaiters, pixel counters and resolution warriors, I say bravo too. You have won, I concede. You have officially led a credible website into trailer pixel counting and if that is not a victory, I don't know what is.

[Max-Zorin]

I thought you folks hated Call of Duty.

[The_devils_chum]

It appears 810 is all xb1 can do for a shooter and still get 60 fps.

[cyhm3112]

or 1080p but last gen graphics

[gigoran]

Congratulations! You counted the pixels from a trailer!

Commiserations! You counted the pixels from a trailer and claimed to have found evidence to support your theory that the xbone version will run at the highest resolution when there isn't any.

[HollywoodLA]

I'm getting it on PS4, NOT XBOX. I'm guessing the majority of consumers will do the exact same.

You want parity, Microsoft? Then GIVE US DLC PARITY, clowns.

#SAMEDAYDLC #ADVANCEDWARFARE #KEVINSPACEY

[_FantasmA_]

Interesting. Polish this turd and it will be still be a turd though.

[liran]

LOL "boosted" - from 720P to 792p.
give me a break, XB1 is a damn box that cannot do more then it's doing at this moment.

And again CoD selected Microsoft as their partner (Well Americans needs to support each other when they sell crap to US citizens)

[corvusmd]

"Even factoring in the compression level of the video, an upscaled 720p would present far more in the way of visual artefacts than what we're seeing here. The question is to what extent Sledgehammer has managed to extract more performance from the Microsoft hardware - our initial impressions based on the overall presentation suggested something close to 900p.

However, the search for more precise metrics involves pixel-counting - where specific screenshots are extracted from the video, long edges are identified and the number of actual rendered pixels is compared to the raw 1080p output. Finding those edges is key - something that's much easier to achieve when you're actually playing the game yourself, and with access to raw, uncompressed captures. "

So...they go out of their way to say they can't be sure of the Res based on a compressed video taken off the XB1...yet people everywhere are jumping to conclusions like it's written in stone...and forgetting it's all from a compressed reveal video from a game that is still 6 months away.... let's just wait until it gets closer to release and check then. Either way, the only thing we can confirm is that it looks worlds better than Ghosts.

Is it just me? I'm bored of those techical facts.
What about the game itself, the gameplay, the story, the innovation?
No, first thing is "Talk about framerate and resolution".
I hate these words in this NextGen.
No one cared about in LastGen.
Some didn't realize that Call of Duty ran lower than 720p.

Let's talk about the games itself and forget resolution and framerate.

Then be bored , it's cod man . What do you want to talk about ? We've hade a dozen of those ,and they remain the same within tiny changes each iteration , and there is a only a trailer . And screenshots wich are obviously precisely about displaying that tech and graphic side you're bored with .

I'd rather see speculative tech debates and talk about the game , than endless moaning about how cod is lame , or how unoriginal and derivative the content of the trailer was , with sequence lifted from an array of tv shows and movies .

Tech discussion were always there , and arent going anywhere . Consoles arent pc , but still its public never settle for other things but improvement in all aspects even if some will just use it as console war ammo

dx12 should bang resolution up

sod resolution. I not really played a COD game for many years. I loved Battlefield 3 and Have really got into Battlefield 4. Its now a completely different beast from its launch fiasco.

This weekend I got the chance to try Ghosts for free. After a couple of plays I just deleted it. Honestly its just feels like the same old tired thing. Been unable to blow up the simplest stuff is so rubbish. It feels so plastic and so old. And graphically dated. Say what you want about Battlefield but they can keep my money out the two any day.

My lengthy point is tho, so are they going to improve what the game actually gives you. Or just more mindless running around hiding behind cardboard for safety.

Sure the trailer makes it look all rosey but are we really going to get anything any different than the last few iterations.

Up the resolution and the framerate will just be garbage. The hardware just isn't strong enough to sustain both or this wouldn't even still be a discussion. The only option here is to reduce the visual quality to accommodate the lackluster xb1 hardware. Expect the ps4 version to be watered down so both versions are identical and both run at 1080p 60fps. There's no point in buying consoles anymore because mulitplat games suffer for the sins of the opposing platform. This would be like pc developers making games look identical on ATI and NVIDIA hardware.. its just moronic.

I also tried Ghosts this weekend and it blew my mind that they removed Search and Destroy from the Hardcore playlist... /facepalm. Glad I skipped it and went with BF4.. and that's weird to say considering how much of a mess it was at launch.

Lmao what is the point in digital foundry?
