Watch Dogs & The Witcher 3: Resolutions On Xbox One vs PS4 Leaked: "900p vs 1080p & 720p vs 900p"

"Hacking Game" terms clearly point towards Ubisoft's upcoming action/adventure title, Watch Dogs, and that Polish Game definitely refers to "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" from CD Project RED.

"Well know industry insider 'Shinobi602'" - He is not an industry insider. He is not even journalist, just some random NeoGAF user, who might be looking for some fame now.

sam_job3711d ago

earlier predictions from his source were spot on.....

majiebeast3711d ago

He has friends in the industry just like Thuway and Mort.

DarkLordMalik3711d ago (Edited 3711d ago )

I am not denying this rumor, contrary to what people might be thinking with my comment. I just hate to see this trend of calling everyone an 'industry insider', especially for someone who has no such prior track record. At least Thuway, DemonNite and Famousmortimer have a good track record in this case, not shinobi. It doesn't really make this rumor false, since it is plausible enough and we already heard about Thief/Watchdog res from Thuway.

DeadMansHand3711d ago (Edited 3711d ago )

Oddly enough he was banned from GAF. I have no idea why or for how long but anyone who uses GAF knows next to your name it says junior member, member, admin. or banned. Two days ago it said banned.

k3rn3ll3710d ago

I'm curious as to how within the past 3 days we have gotten all these leaked resolutions of all these games. All of which are under NDA and some of which don't even have release dates. Are we counting weekly builds now for you resolution nuts? Or are we just trying to downplay a successful weekend for a certain competitor?

Eonjay3710d ago

I think the devs are leaking them so they don't have to say it directly. Only confirming. Only a boss like Kojima has the balls to comes out and be the one to let folks know whats up with his title. I respect that cause I'm tired of all this info through leaks...

k3rn3ll3709d ago

Yea but why would they hurt their own salss like that tho? If I was them I wouldn't tell potential customers on one console that theirr version is inferior. I mean, customers don't want to hear that especially if they can't buy a ps4 to go with the xbox one they already paid for. I think it'll cause some people not to buy the game at all

come_bom3710d ago (Edited 3710d ago )

Well, I'm playing both games, Watch Dogs & The Witcher 3, in 1080p on the PC :)

Only play exclusives on consoles.

what a misleading title... says working on getting 1080p for "polish game" and currently at 900p

Deividas3711d ago

I own a PS4 and even I had to read the article to make sure because I was struggling to believe that the Witcher 3 would be 1080p on it...

But 900p seems reasonable enough, if they can get it to 1080p, awesome, if not...still far better than 720p so ill take it.

Eonjay3710d ago

Yes, 900P for Witcher on PS4 is good.
I also think 900P for Watch Dogs on Xbox is decent. 1080p is obviously a better.

Problem isn't the exclusives, The problem is that everything else that I want to play (want both of these titles) are running better on PS4.

redwin3710d ago

On xbone, is I better to have 720p@60fps than 900p@30fps?

Could be Dying Light as well...it is a polish game. Anyway, his insider sources were wrong with titanfall, so whatever.

DigitalRaptor3711d ago

"so whatever"

Do you really think any of this is farfetched in the slightest, considering the problems Xbox One has had keeping up hardware wise, and seeing as Kojima, of all people, has come out and confirmed the intense disparity between the two consoles?

BallsEye3711d ago (Edited 3711d ago )

@DigitalRaptor

There is still lot of problem with developing games on XO for sure but certainly it is not a weak machine. Ryse is still best looking game on any of the consoles and it is confirmed in IGN , GAMESPOT and tons of other reviews and by developers from different companies. If game like ryse which looks sometimes like a damn movie, can run fine on such hardware and then a game that looks last gen is struggling with 720p then there is certainly problem with dev tools for 3rd party etc. You simply can not deny what Ryse pulls off. Go play it, take it as a fact of what console is capable of. All we can do is wait till tools mature.

To remind you. Last gen when 90% of 3rd party games had advantage on XBOX 360 and then one exclusive on ps3 looked better than most games on 360, sony fans were saying it's lazy 3rd party devs and hard coding because HEY LOOK AT UNCHARTED it looks AWESOME! So now I say, HEY LOOK AT RYSE it LOOKS MINDBLOWING! Same thing going on now but table turned and if you disagree you are biggest hipocrite ever.

Skips3711d ago (Edited 3711d ago )

A POS linear game that runs in 900p and has MASSIVE framerate dips below 20fps is the best Xbox One has to offer in terms of power? lol

I'm willing to bet Ryse would've looked AND performed much better on PS4 though given how almost every multiplat does and the gap between exclusives. (Killzone SF > Ryse , DriveClub > Forza) etc.

I guess everyone on neogaf is an industry insider huh? Whether this is true or now, there seems to be alot of industry insiders all over the place now. More now that te next gen consoles are out than before.

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave11d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan11d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Tomb Raider 1

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name34d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno34d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno34d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure34d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
