Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare “Looks Great on PS4 at 1080p, 60 FPS:” Interview with Owen Johnson

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is soon going to hit the PS4 and the PS3 on August 19th, and DualShockers' Al Zamora had a chat with Plants Vs. Zombies Franchise Marketing Manager Owen Johnson at the Electronic Arts Summer Showcase in New York City.

That 1080p @60fps!

From the interview: "If you're not 1080p, if you're not 60fps, it's kinda bullsh*t".

I know he said it in a jokey way, but it really depends on the game. With this kind of game, if it doesn't hit those numbers, I don't know what the heck you're doing wrong…

Can't wait to play this though. Silly EA and their silly timed-exclusive deals.

[user7402931]

cant wait to play the definitive console version on ps4 :)

@thrust, butthurt ?

[thrust]

And wait you did/are :)

What am I butthurt about haha?

I do not have the game :/

[guitarded77]

Yeah, this is my most anticipated game of August. Looks like good fun. Heard nothing but good things from my friends who played it already.

[Speak_da_Truth]

This game looks fun but i think to compensate the fact that they launched early on xb1 this devs are fooling us Ps fans with 1080p@60fps.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

1080p and 60fps isn't going to change the fact this game is rubbish...I sent it back after 2 hrs of renting it on X1.

[thrust]

Your the first person I have heard say it is rubbish

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Really? I found it really boring. First few games it was cool and seemed fun but no lasting appeal for me. Guess it just wasn't for me!

[mr233]

This is a fun game. Nice graphics and fun to get the new characters and upgrades. Good for adults and kids.

[HammadTheBeast]

Dat username.

[stripe814]

this guy is talking about dlc and microtransactions with a guy who work under EA, so awkward..

[Activemessiah]

Does it look great with microtransactions too?

[MonstaTruk]

Coming from a PSFanboy, 1080p/60fps=great. My question is: did they get rid of the "always-online" component of this game, that EA *snuck in* to this game for the Xbox One? :-/

[cee773]

I think it's Xbox exclusive content. :P

[S2Killinit]

is this not 1080p 60fps on xbone? just wondering.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

@S2Killinit I think it shipped at 900p on the xbox one back in February. I haven't heard if they are thinking of doing a June SDK patch for it but honestly its solid as is so they may not. GREAT GAME

[GUTZnPAPERCUTZ]

No, I have it and it's 900p and 60fps on X1, The game is really fun though!

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Its a great game. Highly recommend picking this one up on either system as its a great game all the way around.

[mikemadden]

The definitive version!

[MadLad]

Definitive console version, anyway.

[ThinkThink]

The PS4 version doesn't have the co-op split screen mode though so it's not really the definitive version.

[TheLeapist]

@ThinkThink
Yes it does.

2nd to last line of the announcement article.

[Clogmaster]

Just so people can see.

From the article just above:
"Lastly but certainly not least, split screen co-op will be available on PS4"

[LoveSpuds]

Reckon the timed exclusivity could hurt this on ps4.

It might have been a nice launch game which interested many new PS4 owners had it been released at launch, with peeps excited to try new games on their new console, however with all the games that will be landing from August 1st onwards I just see this slipping under the radar of a large portion of the PS4 demographic.

I know when I saw it at fisrt I thought it looked fun but I feel like any anticipation has since dissipated since it was already released on XB1 and I now have my eye firmly set on many other games that will be vying for my time.

[Clogmaster]

People say the PS4 is in a drought of games. Maybe this helps.

And like the PS3 before, having a diverse genre is always good for hardware sales.

[Doge]

Picked this up on PC a couple of weeks ago. If you haven't played this yet, y'all are in for a treat ;)

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I picked it up off the Xbl Gold sale for $24. Well worth the buy. Super impressed.

[XtraTrstrL]

I love the free content stuff, I wouldn't think a dev under EA would be able to do this, on consoles atleast. I guess the coins are like Ubisoft's Uplay points. I still need to play more Black Flag so I can get some stuff unlocked.

[NNoyingHusband]

You can keep the 1080p. I've enjoyed playing this game 6 months before it came on PS4 and have all items collected and am working on maxing out all characters.

[r2oB]

You seem pretty salty that 1080p was never an option for you. "You can keep the 1080p" makes you sound like that guy who loses his girlfriend to a better looking guy and tries to mask his butthurt with, what he thinks are, insults. See below.

Guy has fat girlfriend (Xbox gamer playing 900p version).
Fat girlfriend loses weight and becomes hot girlfriend. (900p version becomes definitive 1080p version).
Hot girlfriend leaves guy for stronger, better looking guy (Definitive 1080p version comes to PS4).
"You can keep the 1080p" (first guy is salty).

EDIT: on topic, game looks pretty fun, I may pick it up.

[Clogmaster]

That was amazing, and was a great extrapolation of the above. haha

[NNoyingHusband]

A great interpretation from a man child that lives in his mother's basement who himself is probably a 300lb slob. Are you salty XB1 had the game before PS? A small bump in resolution or having the game 6 months prior? I'll take the timed exclusive. I traded my PS4 for an XB1 and knew what I was getting into and never looked back. I can hear your mother calling you to clean your room.

[CernaML]

^Yeah youre definitely pretty salty.

[r2oB]

To answer your question, I'd rather take the hot girlfriend over the fat girlfriend. Even if I had to wait six months, I don't mind the wait since I've had the pleasure of occupying my time with numerous hot girlfriends.

To put it in layman terms for you, I'd rather have the definitive version of games, since that's what I am used to playing.

[NNoyingHusband]

You can call it the definitive version while I call it the 6 months late to the party version.

[Sonital]

Really great game, I was hesitant to pick it up but it was so worth it!

[MCTJim]

I got it on the X1 and the game was a blast...PS4 owners can now enjoy it.

[hkgamer]

just feel that they should have released this earlier. judging by video clips, this would do quite well with a f2p model.
