Call of Duty Ghosts: Not Much Difference Between Xbox 360 and Xbox One

Chris Velluci writes: "Recently there has been a lot of talk about the resolution and capabilities of the two next gen consoles coming out this November. Xbox One, set to release on November 22, has been getting the majority of the heat as they don’t have as many 1080p native games as the PS4, set to release November 15. Unfortunately for Xbox One, things are about to get worse."

[SkyCrawler]

Ya don't say...

[Winter47th]

Xbox 720p.

[AlexanderNevermind]

Its 720p. The X1 can't make it look any better than what it is.

[Relientk77]

I thought that was clever lol

edit @ PLASTICA-MAN

I thought the same thing, the first screen looks better

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Are they sure the first one is Xbox 360 version and the second one is Xbox 720 version? To be honest, I really find the first pic looking better than the second one with better colours and contrast.

[blackbeld]

Hmmm.

I noticed the xbox 360 has better lightning then xbox one.

Xbox 360 looks a lot better.

[Irishguy95]

Hmm Ryse - 900p
Forza - 1080p

Of course the fanboys will come and say "Oh but at what sacrifice?" Where I will say "Yes and PS4 games sacrifice the fps to look that good too"

Both consoles are outdated by about 2 years now. X1 is a low end gaming PC from 2011, Ps4 is a Mid end gaming PC from 2011.

:)

edit-
Oh jeez, the Nvidia 580 was released in 2011, it's even worse than I thought. You'd think the new consoles would be able to match a 2 year old card. What a shame indeed.

[mistertwoturbo]

I must be going blind but the gun on the 360 version looks... better? Or maybe the X1 version is in the shade. I can't tell.

[Blacksand1]

The XB1 is 720p with a 1080p up-scaled because MS tried to make it a t.v hub first and a gaming console second. My Fios is 720p reg. channels and 1080p on HD channels. When you mix the two that's what you get 720p with a up-scaled of 1080p, because of t.v part of the console.

[MRMagoo123]

I told ppl this already, i have seen it running it looks like current gen on the xbone http://n4g.com/news/1389801... I would say called it but thats not right cos it wasnt a call i actually knew for a fact lol.

[XB1_PS4]

Looks like he's standing under a shadow on the X1 version.

[Panthers]

Those HAVE to be mismarked. I mean COD looks like crap on any system, but there is no way that is right.

[aceitman]

I emailed the website about the pics being mixed up and he says theres no mix up. this is his reply -They are correct. Look closely at the Xbox One version, especially the shadows.
They are better, even if the overall color seems drained.- ouch.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

I can be wrong, but from the wires in the background it seens Xbox One version had no AA while Xbox 360 version have some.

And, sadly, I don't think it's mislabelled. Isolated details point at slitghly better assets on picture labelled "ONE" than on picture labelled "360"... The semaphore posts look more detailed - more polys?- on "ONE" and also have a lamp on top which is missing on "360". The gun, palm trees and wheels on the turned over boxcar are all lower poly on "360". "ONE" appears to have higher resolution textures on the strip club billboard on the left and on the boarded window in the right...

It looks like they are using the same assets from PS4 and PC version on Xbox One version, but struggling to render those assets on full HD resolution (or even framerate according to some reports) beyond worse lighting (apparently, gotta see the game in motion to really jusge that), no AA and somewhat muddy visuals (blur?).

[black0o]

it's COD for God sake

the same thing could be said about PS3 vs PS4 -except dat 1080p-

[Playstationologist]

I would still buy cod if the only difference was native 1080p. My biggest problem with current gen is how bad 720p and lower looks on my nice 1080 screen compared to native 1080p.

[Eonjay]

Agreed. COD was a last gen title. If it wants to remain relevant, its going to have to step its game up.

[Funantic1]

There's not much difference between the PS3 and PS4 versions. http://youtu.be/2Cc6wiR1tC4
The 360 version does slightly look better than the PS3 version. http://youtu.be/SHNFviGstlI

Oh yeah the 360 version is 880 x 720 upscaled to 1080p
The X1 version is 1220 x 720 upscaled to 1080p

[LetoAtreides82]

PS4 version looks clearly better than all versions except the PC.

[Flutterby]

I have seen them both running and the ps4 version is easily better than the Xbox one version, it's a day and night amount of difference.

[Golden30]

you must be blind....ps4 looks waaay better than the ps3 version buddy

[juggneetto]

I can sse a big difference between the PS3 and Ps4 version with a labtop not able to run HD video effectively

[spaceg0st]

You must be blind. There's a very big difference between ps3 and ps4 versions. Watch the video next time first before posting.

[joab777]

We saw a video of battlefield running on ps4 and xbone and while the ps4 had slight advantages, they both looked a hell of a lot better than this gen. So why would we think that CoD would look the same? It won't be a juggernaut cuz it isn't an amazing looking game anyway but I doubt its the same as the 360.

[Garethvk]

Is anyone suprised at this?

[Ko_Uraki]

Same identical graphics on PS4 but at 1080p. Troll article.

[The_Ozymandias]

This actually says more about the Xbox One than it does about the PS4. The PS4 runs the game as well as is possible/expected of a next generation game console. It's got no flaws, or problems, at all running a game that's nothing more than upscaled last-gen rehash crap with higher resolution textures and draw distances, and the Xbox One can't even run that at the resolution standard for the next generation. But by all means, justify it, reason how as time passes the standards for performance go down and we grow to settle for mediocrity.

[Pascalini]

Nah the guy who got the early xb1 said it was much better an even showed a comparison

Nice attempt at a troll though

[G20WLY]

Oh wait, "the guy" said??

Well that's that sorted, then! ;P

Damn my eyes for deceiving me, for "the guy" cannot be wrong!! lmao

[Sebianoti]

You've just made my day with that reply! ROFL!

[SlavisH2]

so when has cod push hardware? Since this is N4g fanboys will be on this like flies on $h!^ but this game is crap even on pc. The developers have lost there passion for the series

[Beastforlifenoob]

The original developers left after MW2... Thats why Titanfall will soon exist.

[dkgshiz]

How can people keep playing these awful rehashes? Serious question.

[Anzil]

All people dont share your opinion get over it!

[Idba]

The first picture looks like shit, the second picture looks like a crisper but less colorful shit

[KrisButtar]

I like the 1st one better, likely because it has more color

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Me too !

[kB0]

It's barely a difference from any other Call of duty game what do u expect LOL

[LeeR]

That is absolutely pathetic "journalism". The dude is making an assumption based on ONE screenshot. Ha! Ha! Ha! What a joke. This is like destroying an album based on one five second clip. So incredibly stupid.

[Ksar]

like all call of duty games.

[01animeking]

To be fair infinity ward did some shitty ports for ghost and the fact the game run off an old ass engine with the same textures from previous iterations it ain't going to look good on any platform

[DxTrixterz]

Does anybody really expect COD to look any different. It's looking exacly the same since COD2 from 2005 with slightly little barely visible upgrades to the engine each year. Xbox 360, Xbox One hell even Xbox Two or whatever they'll call next Xbox if they makes one COD will always be the same and there will always be people who will buy it. Infinity Ward and Treyarch it's time to really make a new engine and stop reusing 8 year old engine. Go for CryEngine or better yet (but the ain't gonna happen) Frostbite.

[Beastforlifenoob]

So your syainng
That THIs http://www.geforce.com/site...

Looks "slightly little barely upgrades"
Than this
http://winsupersite.com/sit...

hmmm... Slightly visible if you ask me the copy baste formula started after world at war. and mw2

[ambientFLIER]

The same since COD2 ??? Lol...you haters are seriously reaching now... COD4 was a huge leap in graphics over COD2, especially online. And if you play Ghosts versus COD2, even more so.

[Qrphe]

No way that's true. CoD2 looked like an upscaled PS2 game in 360 in the same regard that Ghosts looks like a 360 game upscaled in PS4.

[bryanm]

This article is entirely pointless without a PS4 comparison, and even then a cross generation game is never gonna take full advantage of the power of PS4/Xbox One.

[NeoTribe]

Cod ghost did take full advantage of the x1. Why do you think its not in 1080p? Is your brain half dead? They didn't just choose 720 for shits and giggles. Its a fact that it can't handle running it in 1080. You are right about the ps4 though, especially after comparing it to killzone.

[bryanm]

I apologise for my comment before being rather brief, I sort of assumed most people would actually get the point I was making. Clearly not.

First off: I wasn't referring to the power of either console. Not remotely, I'm not sure how you even reached that conclusion.
I'm referring to the fact that a game developed for both generations will never take full advantage of the possibilities of the next gen consoles due to the development process.
It's always going to be little things such as improved lighting or sharper textures but you're not going to see the drastic level of difference that other titles offer.
Look at Assassin's Creed, it looks great, but there isn't a huge difference between generations.

Secondly: Of course the Xbox One is capable of 1080p. There are 1080p games coming out on launch day in fact. It'd even be fully capable of playing Call of Duty: Ghosts in full 1080 if they had gotten past the launch development jitters as well as they did with the PS4.
This will all pass.
If you compare games that came out at the start of this generation to the games coming out now there is an absolutely huge difference. It's staggering.
If you really think we won't be seeing this huge difference in games several years from now (and that somehow the games will vastly improve but the Xbox One will still be stuck with 720p) then odds are you're the one with the struggling brain capacity.

[Hartsy]

COD is Apple of the gaming world, release basically the same thing every year just with a different theme.

[BattleReach]

Welcome to the next gen of COD.

[neocores]

If the xbone version looks better and not the same it shows you the put no effort in the 360 version

[georgenancy]

looks terrible on both systems

[James Vanderbeek]

Microsoft will be like apple and release an xbox 1s next year. just watch. hahaha.

[mrnice]

they may just do that.you ps4 boys make me laugh i am one my self.i have played em both and must say cod is the same on both 1080p vs 720 u cant tell simple as that battlefield 4 on ps4 better backgrounds. xbox one close up more detail. last of all ran much better on xbox one.same as cod as for killzone thats just stunning thats no bull so getting em both as dont want to lose out.

[Flutterby]

Lol don't even lie , I have seen them both running on both consoles and the ps4 versions are way better , my friends that do reviewing also agree and we will see that when the embargo drops off from the ms games lol they can't hide their bad games for much longer

[ExitToExisT]

Game looks horrible even on pc

[quaneylfc]

http://n4g.com/news/1387047...

[MCTJim]

Click bait article once again...so sad :(

How does crap like this get approved?

[DoctorJones]

This a game where it looks crap on all systems, it's just the degrees of crapness that separate them. You can play at higher resolutions on pc and ps4, but that just makes the crap a little less murky, it's still diarrhea splashed on a screen in gaming form.

Thanks Activision for your continued efforts in pumping out turds and packaging it for the gaming masses.

[SpecialK]

Not surprised, remember last gen I swear cod3 and some other games barely looked any better than their ps2/xbox counterparts.

Give it some time last gen for the 360 no games really had a wow factor until gears was released, for the ps3 it was uncharted/killzone.

It'll be the same this time, wait for one of the big exclusive releases.

[Derajcan2]

im sure this can be said for both ps4 and xbox 1, COD wont be making a giant leap oppose to other games on both systems

[static360]

and away we go

[Golden30]

I love these kind of articles :)

[Dohv]

I feel bad for people who spent 500 bucks on a next gen console that can't even run a launch game at 1080p 60fps. while most PS4 games run at 1080p 30/60fps. And this is launch. So how is Xbox gonna handle games later down the line ?

[JediDiah]

PC gamers saying it runs bad on it too.

[Mini0510_13]

Yup FPs drops on certain areas of the map no matter what setting you choose. Stuttering, lag while browsing in game menu, crashes.

http://community.callofduty...
http://steamcommunity.com/a...

I only have fps drops here and there. So I'm lucky. LOL

[Flutterby]

Having played it myself on the Xbox one the game runs bad but it is also the worst looking version by far , it's closer to current gen than it is to the ps4/pc

[Yomaster]

I can attest to this. AMD FX-8350 octa-core CPU, EVGA GTX 770 Superclocked...still looks and runs like absolute shit. Battlefield 4 runs more smoothly and looks better.

[juggneetto]

I guess you really can call it the XBOX 720 after all.

[GoPanthers999]

Trolling article? CoD Ghosts does not look like a technical marvel on any console. I believe this game was lazily made period.

[Edsword]

Eww. I guess, can't lame this one on the xb1 though. This is totally on infinitity ward.

[DivineAssault]

This is the obvious.. I mean come on! No1 seen this coming?

[PFFT]

N4SonyG at its finest.

[reko]

bitter at its finest.

[Goku781]

Not worth $500 if it can't do much better than 360.

[ezop]

love the way the article say the he/she "Take a closer look though and you’ll find that there still isn’t much of a difference" (between 360 & X1) and "it’s hard to justify spending $499.99 for a better Kinect experience"..

The issue I have with all these article (and lets be honest there all coming out of the woodwork) is the fact that there all blaming the X1, not one article is there out there that says the developers are shit and can't do there job to produce a game that runs @ 1080p and look/runs better than current gen.

[larrysdirtydrawss]

JESUS H LLOYD CHRISTMAS

[Sci0n]

enjoy your 500 dollar upgrade for those same 720p results xbots! lol

[eliasg]

Really??? Have you seen the video comparisons between AC4 XBOX360 vs PS4?? They look nearly identical. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Stop this fanboy nonsense pls. Never forget that is too early to judge a console or the next generation.
