Lords of the Fallen is 900p on Xbox One, 1080p on PS4

Lords of the Fallen will run at 900p on Xbox One and 1080p on PlayStation 4, creative director Tomasz Gop has confirmed to VideoGamer.

[Enemy]

So much for "the gap is closing."

Shadow of Mordor is also 1080p on PS4 and shooting for 60fps, but when asked about the resolution on Xbone, they dodged the question.

Most of the demos for Lords of the Fallen have been running on PS4, and it looks really fun. The more RPGs the better. Looks like Sony finally heard our cries.

[Neonridr]

who's to say this game still won't look fantastic on the Xbox One even at only 900p? Why do you feel the need to stir the pot?

[Enemy]

Stir the pot? It's the topic you clicked on. If you're not here to discuss it then leave.

Posting facts = stirring the pot

Edit: @ below: That's a fact too, as clearly confirmed by this news.

The more powerful console gets the better looking version, which I'm sure was the lead version as well. Shocking.

[Neonridr]

and your "the gap is closing" joke is posting facts and not trying to stir up trouble?

...... right

[Neonridr]

regardless of the resolution, you shouldn't be preaching like not being 1080p means it's a bad game. Pretty sure TLOU won many GOTY awards and it was what.. a 720p game?

It's great that the PS4 has a higher resolution, I have one too, so that's a bonus. But stop talking like that makes the Xbox One version that much worse because it displays less pixels on the screen. Pretty sure the game will play exactly the same way and the story will be identical. Thus if the game is any fun to play on the PS4, then guess what, it should be fun to play on the Xbox One as well.

Why can't it be that simple? Hooray that the PS4 gets the higher resolution, should we all get medals for that?

[Highlife]

@neonridr

It's the internet where is there not someone stirring up trouble.

[xHeavYx]

@Neonridr
Comparing a last gen game to a next gen game? Getting a bit desperate, no?

[Enemy]

44% less pixels isn't nothing. Funnily enough, the PS4 is 44% more powerful than Xbox One. Talk about dead accurate.

[Neonridr]

@Heavy - not really, not when the game came out last year. I am merely saying, nobody was complaining that that game was only 720p when it was busy winning awards. When did 1080p become such a golden standard that all other things shall be deemed inferior?

@Enemy - I get what you are saying, but let's imagine that you only had an Xbox One for a second. If you were playing the game at 900p and the game looked fantastic to you, you wouldn't know what you are missing would you? You would be perfectly happy playing this game, so thus the resolution means jack crap. The only time it's going to matter is if you have two systems and two TVs side by side to do a comparison. Besides, If PC gamers can play a game at like 4K resolution does that mean that a multiplat game on the PS4 and XB1 are crap using your theory? Of course not.

[Volkama]

44% more pixels? Wooooooaaa.

I mean, my PC will render 400% more pixels than your PS4, but don't let me get in the way of your bragging.

You should probably note though that my PC will not diminish your enjoyment of the PS4 version. Similarly your PS4 will not tarnish the enjoyment that others could have with the XBox version. So drop the fanboy nonsense.

[christocolus]

@neonridr

Dude let it go, stop arguing with these guys, if you like the game go out and get it on which ever console you like. Its what I do. Res has never been the constant factor behind my purhases..its one of the least factors imho. is the game fun? Is it your type of game? How does it control are the reviews any good?

I bet you'll get the exact same experience on either platform. Just don't waste your time arguing.

[FlunkinMonkey]

1080p became the 'golden standard' when people started dishing out 100's of dollars and pounds on next generation systems, with the understandable expectation that they should be considerably superior to their predecessors.

Pretty simple really.

[dantesparda]

Why are all you MS fanboys acting so defensive? If y'all dont care then why even respond? Fact, the PS4 is technically superior, deal with it. You people make so many excuses its not even funny. Defend, defend, excuses and defend some more.

Its pretty pathetic wacthing you people make dumb excuses, 1080p became expected the second this gen started (as a matter of fact everybody was expecting 1080p/60fps). Not 900p, face it the X1 is just deficient. And bringing the PC into a console comparison is just stupid.

[-wub-]

@Volkama Is your PC worth $400? No, no it isn't.

[Volkama]

-wub- no of course not. My 4k tv and 7.1 surround weren't cheap either.

So what? I'm not here to tell you how bad the PS4 is (it isn't). I'm just responding to the people that are here to say how bad the One is (it isn't).

[Spotie]

Well said, Dante. These guys are defending like they're in danger of being extinct. They keep claiming they don't care, but look how often they're in articles, and how many bubbles full of text they spew.

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

[Neonridr]

@dantesparda - I don't own an Xbox One, I have a PS4, so how am I a MS fanboy?

I just get tired of the whole "my console is better than your console" argument when it means nothing considering we're looking at our TV and they are looking at their TV.

Should I make fun of someone because the TV I play on is 240Hz and theirs might only by 60Hz? Or my TV displays better colors? It's all trivial because it's your experience vs someone elses.

While the PS4 definitely offers the "best" experience possible when it comes to console gaming for a multiplat, that doesn't mean that any other version on the market is suddenly unplayable or pure garbage.

[Ju]

@Spotie, but it IS funny

[SilentNegotiator]

No one said it won't look good...just that it won't look AS good and the gap between ps4 and xbone isn't closing.

So stop pretending like every time someone talks about ps4 having the better resolution, they're actually saying that the Xbone version will look bad; it makes you look like a silly fanboy trying too hard.

[Volkama]

@dRanzer This isn't an article for console gamers. This is an article for fanboys.

If you don't like to talk about pixel counts and superior versions that's good. If you don't care that I can play this game with 400% more pixels than you that's good too.

Just note that people with Xboxes feel the same way as you.

[DanzoSAMA]

I don't understand, is the problem from Developer ? maybe lazy ?
because a lot of games running at 1080p after new sdk.

[jackanderson1985]

not necessarily lazy, they're under time constraints, they're new systems, X1 has the E-Sram which others are saying is difficult to work with.

Not necessarily lazy but out of time devs

[Jury]

Maybe it's not worth putting all the extra resources into getting the game to run at 1080 on the weaker system with the much smaller user base... Or maybe it's just not possible due to the inferior hardware. Hard to say really

[Enemy]

Cross gen games don't count.

[tlougotg]

Alot of games? Where? Not Alot but some less intensive ones.

[ABizzel1]

The XBO GPU is equivalent to the underclocked R7 260 (YES without the X). You underclock a R7 260 and you get a HD 7770 which is pretty much what all XBO games have been performing on par with.

Those GPUs recommended resolutions are 900p; however, they can still play many games in 1080p, but for the more demanding titles 1080p will be harder to stay consistently above 40fps mark which is how you get a locked 30fps game.

Simply put the GPU in the XBO is powerful enough to play most games in 1080p, but the more demanding games (high end PC games) aren't meant to be played at 1080p with the GPU in the XBO.

[Ju]

I think it's the wrong priorities here. If devs spent so much time squeezing the XO to push it to 1080 they could as well spend the same of time to push the PS4 even further. But now we are getting the same just to sell a game on parity while the PS4 isn't really getting pushed. A shame, actually; or the result is 1080p vs 960p.

[BX81]

@ju
I don't get your point? Since the ps4 is easier to dev for shouldn't they have more time to put towards it?

[Ju]

Sure...but imagine devs would put the same effort in optimizing the PS4 version as they do pushing the XO to 1080p. PS4 games would certainly look quite a bit better (compare exclusives to multi platform titles). The problem is, those games "just run" on the PS4. So the time is spent elsewhere. Unfortunately this doesn't benefit the PS4 version.

[annoyedgamer]

Yes the apocalypse is upon us. Its over. We should all just give up.

[tgunzz]

@logicalreason, kudos for the great breakdown. However, you won't see that difference without slides/stills, and even then it will be a waste of a comparison. Going off you're gamertag, I assume you know this... But yes, the numbers are bigger then the end result.

[RyujiDanma]

@dante

superior? call me when playstation updates their firmware, as for the 180 extra pixels, who cares!!! I'm here to play games

[SilentNegotiator]

A 50% increase over the Xbone...sounds familiar.

[CaptainObvious878]

If you're here to play games why are you so concerned about firmware updates?

Lawyered!

[DLConspiracy]

Pointing out the obvious and restating facts isn't any better.

[Muzikguy]

I just wish Capcom, Activision, EA, SE, and now Ubisoft would hear them too!

[oneluckybullet]

I play games for what they are, games. Not to count pixels. Having both consoles lets me pick which games for which systems. To each their own though.

[OhReginald]

But is it 900p / 60fps xbox one and 1080p / 40fps ps4?

[DanzoSAMA]

lol, maybe like Tomb Raider.

[ABizzel1]

No Tomb Raider was 1080p @ 30fps capped on the XBO (cutscenes were dropped to 900p), and 1080p @ 60fps capped on the PS4.

[JWiLL552]

TR:DR was smooth as hell on PS4. I don't care if the FPS wasn't locked it played beautifully.

[Benjammin25]

This is probably the most stupid comment I have ever read. So what you're saying, is that they lowered the resolution on the Xbox One version so they could achieve 60fps, but they didn't bother with the PS4 version? Jesus my head hurts...

[Ju]

Which game actually did that? Have a link? There is no cut down / trade off for a PS4 game running 1080p. Show me one which traded features for resolution (compared to the XO version).

[MetroidFREAK21]

What NO!? NOT 900p Oh God no! Please lord someone fix this dreaded issue now! Please before anyone cares. Please I can't go on like this... 900p geezus no!

[christocolus]

Lmao..

[Enemy]

Damage control disguised as not caring. How clever. I guess accepting reality is easier for some.

If this had been a post about the Xbox getting the upper hand by 1%, Xbox kids would have claimed superiority. But the PS4 is 44% superior not just in specs, but in 99% of multiplat games.

Quick, act like you don't care! Hurr- oh wait..

[Convas]

I envy the likes you who can spend your days fighting meaningless battles on the internet.

[MetroidFREAK21]

Lol I really don't care. I could be more happy playing my Dreamcast in 480i counting the pixels on every character on screen than worry about XB1vPS4

[RyujiDanma]

have fun counting those pixels, I'm sure you'll be doing it more than playing the game

ps4 users

[Imalwaysright]

Who are you to tell people what they should or not care about?

[BX81]

This enemy kid is adorable. He is in here defending the ps4 tooth and nail but can't comprehend why this isn't a big deal for people. Quick enemy act like you don't have a clue! Hurr- oh wait..

[Aussiebeachbabe]

Give it a break enemy. Everyone arguing over a few dots in a square inch. How pathetic. If that's the case forget consoles(old school res) and just buy pc version.

[kenshiro100]

I bet if it was the PS4 that was 900p, XBox fans would have had a field day. Still moving goal posts huh?

[MetroidFREAK21]

@imalwaysright Did i say that you all should believe in everything I do? No I didn't... Calm down little man

[MasterCornholio]

I'm not surprised. Normal given the differences between the two systems.

[Jury]

Yep pretty standard. It's only really news when they reach parity

[GodGinrai]

"It's only really news when they reach parity"

Lol..No. Then it becomes a conspiracy by MS.

[cruzngta]

I can see it now : MS Headquarters - Phil Spencer reads article on 80 inch oled display as he sits in his Dr.Evil chair. Expressing a pissed off look he has a chrony call Major Nelson, "You reading this shit!?!?! I cant believe this - get the engineering team and the private Bone jet ready 4 takeoff!!!" Major Nelson orders up the group and Phil and Co. depart to have a sit down meeting with the devs of Lords of the Fallen. All kidding aside I am sure if Spencer read this he propably at least attempted to contact the dev like he did with Diablo and Destiny in order to try and help them achieve 1080p by launch. Who knows but 900p is better than 720p or better yet 792p!

[jackanderson1985]

i doubt it Destiny and Diablo are relatively big name games from big name publishers that people would buy consoles for.... Lords of the Fallen not so much

[christocolus]

You beat me to it, by the way what's this game about? haven't really heard much of it but going by the shots it does look similar to dragon age and witcher. Is it an openworld rpg?

[OC_MurphysLaw]

OMG NO... oh wait I wasn't getting this anyway. My RPG flag pole is squarely aimed at Dragon Age Inquisition. Still for those that really care about pixel counting this may be a let down.

[CBaoth]

Well you could do your part and just tell the rest of us Xbox1 owners we should expect this the entire gen.

"The Cell isnt the magic bean Sony claimed it would be. It is too different from standard programing. You can call the developers lazy if you want..but the reality is Sony has made a chip that will for the most part only be used in their TV's. PC's manufacturers aren't picking this up and that right there tells you that forever more the PS3 will always be a multiplatform grab bag of expectations."

I surmise the situation is worse for MS in 2014 since both employ x86 architecture and neither console have anything as exotic as the Cell powering them. So would it be a fair assessment then to call the One a multi-platform grab bag of expectations? BTW, that quote should be familiar...you wrote it.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

And what a quote that was! I am kinda proud of that one. lol... ok but in all seriousness. I am not here trying to trumpet the Xbox One as being a more powerful machine. PS4 absolutely has more muscle under the hood. How much that translates to on screen will be a case by case situation, and in all likely hood be less of an issue that many would have us believe but it will certainly still come up from time to time.

Will the Xbox One be a grab bag of expectations? It has been so far but I think the other side to that coin is what are the expectations? I mean if the only criteria to this is a 1080p benchmark then yes... you will see some multiplats coming in like this at 900p from time to time.

[CBaoth]

lulz +1 for being good natured :) I'm just joshin with ya. Really I'm so totally sick of this nonsense. In reality, it didn't stop PS3 gamers from buying 3rd party games last gen and it'll be no different this time around with Xboxers.

[ScorpiusX]

Am okay as long that the game has a story , great game play mechanic's and has great replay value. Do all that it s a day one buy .

[Zizi]

Another sign that PS4 has won this generation, hasn't it?

[TripC50]

As far as games go, I'm gonna say Wii U is winning at the moment.

[Ricegum]

Unless you like grown up games, in which case the Wii U fails miserably.

[theXtReMe1]

I'm a PS4 owner, but let's be honest… The difference between 1080 and 900p is fairly minimal and only really seen in the clarity of background objects and anti-aliasing, which can be fixed by just upping the amount. Those who really are going to be able to tell a difference are those who are viewing the game on a set larger than 60 inches. I game using a projector at 120 inches and can tell right away if something isn't in true HD...but only because I'm gaming on such a huge screen and can really zero in on the pixels. Most wouldn't be able to tell a difference. So, this bickering between resolutions is really nominal… Because what it really comes down to is gameplay. If the game is 60 frames per second on the PS4 and 30 frames per second on the Xbox One, then there would be room for discussion. But the lousy difference between 180 pixels shouldn't be cause for concern for any Xbox One owner... especially if your gaming on a screen less than 60 inches.

This generation, more than any other, system owners are at each other's throat for what? Is brand loyalty really more important than the games themselves? What we should be discussing, is originality as opposed to the logo on the front of our machines... After all, it is the games we are playing and not the systems themselves. Yet, you would think that gamers lives depend on the success of their chosen brand, as opposed to the games they are supposed to be enjoying on them. almost as if they own massive amounts of stock in their system of choice and every article downplaying its success, is a massive hit to their wallet.

If everyone enjoyed what they had and wouldn't yearn for what they didnt, the world would be a much better place.

[asyouburn]

It's not a difference of 180 pixels....2,073,600 (ps4) to the xbox's 1,440,000. So a difference of 633,600 pixels. 44%. Personally I don't care abou the difference, but it certainly isn't "180 pixels"

[typittt69]

I own both and what you say is the truth but you're wasting your time. These people will always preach as though the resolution difference makes a massive difference in picture quality. I played the Destiny beta on both consoles and unless side by side i couldn't tell the difference. Guess i must be blind. And btw my tv is 55"

[asyouburn]

To some people, it is a massive difference. Some won't be as to tell, some will, and some won't care. There are so many different things going on in a video game, and in the case of a multiplat, if all the systems make it over intact (physics, ai, lighting, etc) and just the display resolution is a bit lower, it's not a bad port imo

[HaveSumNuts]

Microsoft/Hooker: "The gap is not that big."

[i3eyond the Circle]

Oh yayy... Congratulations on the sharper grass the internet will blow out of proportion.

This dead horse is beaten constantly because its the only talking point the fan camp can use. But when things like update support, arguably soon to be better fall line up and still in its infancy more versatile OS of the Xbox One...it's a durrr situation but somehow you guys can blow a whole lot of smoke from posted numbers and then disregard that in real time you're bickering over grass and magnified differences.

Side by side without labeling most if not all people will be confused as to which one "looks better"

Now go back to playing Destiny...and when you're able to snap strategies and accept invites without the suspension of any of your consoles applications...then we'll talk. But until then please go on and tell me of your better grass and jacket textures.

[badz149]

funny that you've mentioned "sharper grass"

remember Mafia II and RDR last gen?

[Bdub2000]

I haven't logged in for like 6 months it seems, as I was tired of these types of articles and then the following arguments down below. I own an X1, it's fun, but graphically, there is no argument left to be made between the ps4 and x1. Well played Sony, well played.

On a side note, i almost bought a ps4 but decided to built a PC on steroids. Much more expensive, but now I don't have to join in on the console war. Couldn't be happier, and now I don't have to justify my x1 purchase to myself any longer. FREEDOM.

[Dread]

Have fun playing Sunset Overdrive, Infamous, Uncharted 4, Mario Kart 7 or Halo 5, among others, on your PC (legally).

I am no attacking you, just pointing out that regardless of the power of the console, which the PC is obviously the King, there are plently of reasons to love other consoles.

[Bdub2000]

Maybe you missed the part where I said I own an X1... There are reasons to own every console due to exclusives, but that's not practical for everyone. It would be preferable to own a ps4 and PC to get as many exclusives as possible.

[jnemesh]

Funny how the loyalists are not only willing to put up with inferior performance and graphics, but are actively DEFENDING the sub-par, lackluster performance on the XBone! LOL You guys could have saved some money if graphics didn't matter and just stuck with the 360!

[thricetold]

They couldn't stay with the 360 because ms abandoned them long ago. When was the last time ms put out a 360 exclusive?

[PCBOX]

There are two possibilities:

1) They are extremely untalented devs.
2) They dont want to spend their time to optimize the game for XO.

I hate Destiny. Literally the worst game ever played but the game look awsome with Open World elements at 1080p with solid rock fps. This game looks like shit and not even OW. What is their excuse? Before you attack on me just think a second whether I am right or not.

[S2Killinit]

thought about it, and you are very wrong. On every point you made.

especially Destiny being "the worst game ever". why? because you're upset it plays better on PS4? you "hate" it? mmmm i wonder why.

on point, just get over it, the xbone is a weaker system. the moment you can be at peace with that, is the moment you can start to enjoy the generation with the choice you have made.

[ABizzel1]

"1) They are extremely untalented devs."

No they're not one of the biggest developer out there, so they won't get funded millions and millions to make their game.

"2) They dont want to spend their time to optimize the game for XO."

If that's the case wouldn't it also be just as fair to spend time optimzing the game on PS4 as well, and possibly getting 1080p @ 60fps vs. 1080p @ 30fps on the XBO, which would still lead you back here with the same comment.

Or

3) The GPU in the XBO was not meant or designed for 1080p gaming, but 900p which isn't something to be so defensive about.

This is a PC game first and foremost, so chances are they didn't do tons of optimizing for either console, but the fact is that the PS4's GPU is recommended for 1080p gaming for most PC games, and the XBO's GPU is recommended for 900p gaming for most PC games.

What do you say about Deep Silver getting Metro Redux (a game that most PC's struggle with) running at 900p @ 60fps on XBO, and 1080p @ 60fps on PS4?

The XBO has a weaker GPU, does that make it a bad console? No. But is many cases it's going to lose in most performance comparisons.

[Reek]

Or just accept the fact that the PS4 is more powerful than Xbox One.

[ps5fanboy]

I didn't care when I used to venture on digital foundry and see the ps3 coming off worst against Xbox360 on some titles.... Honest! 😙

[CJDUNCAN]

After getting a chance to play BF4 on both the x1 and ps4, I couldn't tell the difference at all. Talk to me when one version of the game is buggier, or has gameplay flaws. If it's solely going to be about resolution then it no longer matters, especially with the move to 4k happening.

[Illusive_Man]

900p is not a big deal if the assets, lighting, and AA are the same. Look at a game like PvZ. Clearly, one version is 1080p but the fact it has 44% more pixels does not translate into 44% increase in visual quality. The difference was so subtle to be nearly insignificant.

Now 1080p vs 720p thats a different story....

[asyouburn]

I agree. Pvz I literally couldn't tell the diff. But metal gear, for example, sticks out pretty bad

[bazinga_91]

Good job deck13. :^)

Thumbs up for you!

[Mr_Luke]

Nothing new then

[AutoCad]

Most people here dont understand how resolution works.
Doesnt always its better with more Ps.

[matrixman92]

I am glad I play video games for fun

[badz149]

come on, play with the 'p' please! /s

[DLConspiracy]

Me too.

[SilentNegotiator]

Because the people that discuss the technical aspects of a game and prefer the better version...can't possibly also play and enjoy said games. /s

[matrixman92]

you call this discussing? lol

[SilentNegotiator]

Compared to your passive aggressive dismissals?

[DLConspiracy]

I call it Rubbing peoples faces in it. You call it discussing technical aspects. Perspective is everything. If you don't see that half this site prides itself on putting those who like another console down. Then I think you are completely blind.

With that said. Nothing personal. Just don't act like people online ONLY treat it as a technical topic. They use it to rub it in peoples faces and act superior the majority of the time. Please at least admit that.

[Predaking77]

I'm pretty sure that if the case was the x1 being more powerful many people here, currently defending weaker x1 hardware, would be trashing the PS4 and saying how important is to have more powerful hardware.

That is why I automatically ignore every comment from liars making any excuse to justify the weaker x1.

[S2Killinit]

well, good thing i have the PS4

[jay2]

Oh well who cares it's this gens patten.

[headshotfrosty]

Yawwwn. Here we go again. Who cares at this point? It's obvious X1 can handle 1080p processing. Destiny is a major title that has no problem running 1080p with slick textures. Not to mention the slew of titles coming out. Who is actually still using this for ammo? lol. Losers. If you don't care for Xbox or MS and don't plan to buy one...why do you even care??? Just enjoy your games and STFU.

[headshotfrosty]

All up to developers. The X1 can do 1080p. Who is still debating this fact? Destiny anyone...

[windblowsagain]

Yes the X1 can do 1080p.

But not the same graphics as PS4 version.

That's why everything in this game as the dev says is the same, but the res is less.

Nothing to be annoyed at.

[CaptainObvious878]

Who is still debating this? That's a very good question. I guess some people are just stubborn or just very stupid.

No. It's not up to developers. You're just being deliberate stupid now. Developers can only do so much with the hardware they are given. They can't magically bring the xbone up to the level of the PS4.

The xbone can do 1080p for games that aren't graphically intensive. Destiny falls under that category as it's a cross generational game. It proves absolutely nothing and you know it.

Why is it so dam hard for people like you to get simple facts through your head. The PS4 is more powerful than the xbone by a large amount. Just accept it so we can lay this dead horse to rest.

[joeyjoeyjoejoe]

Well at least it's not 720 p

[Aon]

For me this is good news because now I know on XBOX ONE I don't have 1080p. I'm glad to hear that before release date. Thanks for it because I not will be disappointed.

[Gamerbeyond]

seriously unless the xbox's resolution problem can be fixed with a patch, im sure you will just have to get used to it until there is a xboxtwo.lol

[Fkhalf16]

MS really needs that DX12 thingy that I keep hearing about, heard it will give the Xbox One a boost in power. Looks like Phil Spencer is gonna have a nice talk with you developers when he hear this news.

Phil - "Here's the $$$, now push the goddam game to 1080p!!!"

CI Games - "DONE!!"

Phil - "It wasn't that fuckn hard, was it?

CI Games - "No, not at all"

[cruzngta]

@ Fkhalf16

Hey bro, you saying its all about the cheddar? Cuz if it is we all know MS has a ton. Sony on the other hand....

[GusBricker]

I just hope the framerate is stable.

[TheVigilanteCode]

Nothing to see here, resolution articles are 2013 material which lead up to the console release to give a fair overview on the hardware's capability to push frames at high native screen resolution & textures. People already accepted that the PS4 is a more powerful machine and moved on. It isn't going to affect the design of a game being made on Xbox ONE. These are bragging rights for internet warriors on dedicated forums, and there ends the verbal diarrhea. Though the X1's sales are the best the maker has had in it's entire 3 iterations entering the console market, the PS4 continues to obliterate it in almost all markets, and THIS mostly thanks to MSFT's piss poor marketing of the product prior to release. Delivering a wrong message to the consumer is as good as suicide and a man named Don Mattrick carried that part to whatever abysmal heights that he could. The hardware being inferior has nothing to do with it. They are in a much better and improved status quo now.

Both SONY & MSFT this year (and for the 6 months too) are starting to throw some exclusive heavyweights like inFamous: Second Son, Driveclub, Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive, Halo MCC, Bloodborne, The Order:1886 etc. which makes their respective hardware a worthy purchase.

Oh, and a Wii U too for fucking awesome exclusives!

[HaydenJameSmith]

So Lords of the Fallen a relatively below the radar sort of game with no big names or publishers behind it has suddenly become important because its got a higher resolution on PS4 than Xbox One... Well done internet.

I've barely heard anything about this game but now that the resolution has been stated its worth talking about, way to give the media what they want... click bait articles so they can continue to fuel this pointless fanboy war and ruin this generation of gaming.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

^^^ Bingo! ^^^ We have a winner!

[HaydenJameSmith]

Yeyyy!!! and I win a lifetimes worth of being told I'm stupid for having what is referred to as the "inferior" console...

[GodGinrai]

"Yeyyy!!! and I win a lifetimes worth of being told I'm stupid for having what is referred to as the "inferior" console..."

LMAO!! best comment in this thread. Im excited for my halos, SSO, FH2 and others coming out on my XB1. Yet anytime I mantion that i am also apperntly being defensive...so I am supposed to say the games I like suck, because I am in the "xbox minority" on N4G?

Its even funnier hearing the reasoning for it.."bu-bu-bu..seven years ago, when xbox was.."...

Now with that kind of logic, how can I think of PS4 fans on N4G as anything other than petty and insecure? whats wrong with having the more powerful console and being content? Why do I feel like I need to remind them that I know the x1 is less powerful, than PS4? Its like a weird "seeing as your comment is not about PS4..stroke my fragile ego and make me feel good about MY purchase, not yours" type of thing. Its weird. Honestly. And its always the ones with the final fantasy avis, that do this the most. I wonder what they are like in real life....

[HaydenJameSmith]

@GodGinrai

Don't worry I get told the same when I show my love for my Xbox One and all its upcoming games because I'm apparently not aloud to have an opinion unless in correlates with the Sony Fanbase or then I'm just an "Idiot" apparently... from what I've gathered anyway.

I dunno why they can't be content with their so called "superior" platform... If they really thought that why do they have to spend all day everyday trying to convince any people that disagrees with them of it. I believe a lot of it is just buyers remorse and are just convincing themselves to assure that they have bought the right platform...

At the end of the day it is all subjective and there is no "Superior" platform, there is just preference...

I love the Xbox One and all its Games and if what the Xbox produces is supposedly "Dogshit" according to the Internet. I guess I like Dogshit cause it looks amazing to me :P

[Alsybub]

So many people on here say that opinion is subjective, which is correct, but this statement always seems to precede the hurling of abuse at those that don't share their opinion.

A little hypocritical.

Most of the time it feels like I'm in a really big school playground with everyone shouting about how their dad is better than someone else's. That's a pointless argument.

My dad IS better than your dad but that's because he's my dad and that's why YOUR dad is better than mine. To not accept that people have choice and preference and to attack them for it is an ignorant act, that's the same no matter what side you're on, if you see it as sides. Thing is, if you choose a 'side' then you've immediately closed the door to a lot of experiences. So, while you goad the opposition for their choice, try to remember that by picking sides you've already lost as a gamer. Suddenly you don't really feel like being hateful to justify your position.

[S2Killinit]

i think some people mistakenly believe the problem is that people think Xbone can't do 1080p. No one argues that xbone can do 1080. but at what cost. both to the developer, and to other things like textures. fact is, xbone is an inferior machine, that is a fact. this means, that some developers won't have the funds, will, talent, or desire, to bend over backward and get you a product that is on par with PS4. Especially since that effort could go into making the game better on PS4. or half of that effort could go to PS4 and half to xbone, which would still make the PS4 version better. So as long as you are ok playing some games with inferior quality, then there is no problem at all.

[DougLord]

I'd like to take all these Sony trolls and line them up to play the 2 different versions of the game side by side without knowing which is which. If you identify the Sony version you get $100. If you fail you get shot in the head. N4g would loose half it's members!

[Gore-Content]

Let the excuses commence.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Who really cares? I simply perfer the X1 over my ps4. All my online friends game on X1 and for me the X1 has a more alive online community than psn. My ps4 is for exclusives just like my ps3 before it and my X1 is my main go to console just like my 360 was. Resolution should only matter the the master race crowd...

[Alsybub]

You'd think but judging by the neutral comment I made earlier about this getting a load of disagrees I guess we're both wrong.

Buying a game on PS4 because of it's higher resolution would be quite pointless for me. Because while I sit, basking in the glory of the extra pixels, all of my close friends are playing on Xbox. Yes, it's a compromise but it really isn't that big of a deal. I said earlier that if a multiplat is single player and slightly superior on PS4 then I'll buy it on that. Otherwise it's my Sony exclusive machine. Well worth having for that alone.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

I couldn't agree more.

[Tzuno]

And 4k on PC, mwuahahaahhhhh!!

[Revengeance]

I love these Xbox drones trying to downplay the truth. When they know they've lost a certain argument they proceed to change it to another subject as if on cue.

Thank God i don't play with those hypocrites. There's way too many of them on here.

[horndog]

What's lords of the Fallen? Is it another indie or an actual AAA title? Am I missing a huge blockbuster game I'm not aware off??

[SpinalRemains138]

It amazes me how many ppl click on the article and then post a comment up on their high horse that they're tired of these articles.

Go away if you don't like them. Dont enter the conversation like you're holier than thou. You're not. Your mental illness is needing to feel superior in a different way; worse than fayboyism. Its called being a jagoff.

[DarXyde]

I think some of you guys care too much how others spend their money. To this day, I stand by not caring about graphical difference as long as the end products are comparable. Last gen and this gen, I buy my games on PlayStation because I care about trophies much more than my achievements and I like the PlayStation community of gamers a lot more.

Some people are going to make excuses, some are going to be honest. No point in arguing details there. You're not going to change someone's mind.

On to the topic, I've actually never heard of this game. Should I want it?

[NixonMonoxide]

Yeah big bloody difference.
Worth writing an article over too.

[hiawa23]

I own both and buy mostly all multiplats on the X1. I prefer the controller, online, most friends are on the Xbox, achievements, UI of the One over the PS4, and 900p upscaled to 1080p vs 1080p native is close enough as my eyes can tell, so I am fine wit it.

[Pogue1906]

Whats crazy is that, while its dropping at 900P its still gonna look better then the PS4 version. Remember "Ryse" was 900p also.

[hiawa23]

I bought multiplats on the orig Xbox vs the PS2, bought multiplats on the 360 compared to the PS3, and switched back to buying them on the One compared to the PS4, so if gamers want to buy whatever version for whatever reason, it is their choice and whatever anyone says about that really doesn't matter. Any reason is a good enough reason to each gamer, and that should be what is important. I enjoy games like everyone, but I keep this in the proper perspective. Just games, and in the grand scheme not really that big of deal to me.

[Majin-vegeta]

Cant wait for this game :).1080 is just icing on teh cake.

[Legend]

Oh! We're still doing this? Carry on then, ya tards.

[PaleMoonDeath]

I wonder what the resolution difference will be for FF15, that's a big deal for a lot of people.. I wonder if having all those years to playa round with the hardware has an equal 1080p spread on both of them.

[Sheabon]

Who is right?

[OC_MurphysLaw]

what is the question?

[corroios]

the question here is that Microsoft fanboys are always saying «Where is the 40% more power of the PS4?», this game is an exemple of that.

The PS4 is pumping more than 40% pixels then the Xbox One version.

The GPU of the PS4 is just better, im not saying its a beast, but is better, the memory setup is better and is much more easy to work.

[captainexplosion]

I don't think 40% more pixels means 40% more powerful. Games do more than just provide pixels. There would need to be 40% increase in everything rather than just a 40% in pixels to say the PS4 is 40% stronger.

[mmj]

Normal service is resumed.

Is anyone still actually surprised that a console with a superior GPU is running games with superior resolutions? because if so I'd like to sell you a Reliant Robin that handles like a Ferrari if you drive in a straight line.

[acemonkey]

i came in here to see what everyone had to say.... all i see is the xbox1 controller feels better? wtf are you holding? let me guess the trigger buttons an the ps4 u dont like the curve? lol ps4 controller feels better we all know that so please dont bring that up

but i do agree with most of you play the system that has most of your friends and enjoy gaming

[josephayal]

i'm very disappointed

[KirbysDump]

God look at all these comments. Most of them useless because it simply doesn't matter

[MadLad]

Do you fanboys never cease? It's pathetic.
You're pathetic.

The sad part is these "journalists" are just as bad, adding fuel to the fire.
I'd call you children, but it's pointless at this point.

[Droidbro]

OMFG this unbelievable and unprecedented!

[rawshack]

forget about what the game looks like.its all about the game play man

[Ninver]

But wouldn't you rather have both? Luckily ps4 gamers get it all.

[killcole]

A game with minimal hype surrounding it can be the top feature on N4G, just because it's slightly shinier on a certain console.
Grow up and get some perspective.

Tools.

[trouble_bubble]

Most of the comments here aren't even about the game, they're about the xbox controller, xbox friends lists, xbox multiplats, xbox live. It's xbox reassurance personified.

[hillsht]

Like, no way! This article is hard hitting... Cool story, brah.

[Tedakin]

I played 900 Destiny and 1080 Destiny. I couldn't see a difference....

[Toman85]

Specsaver next stop for you. Is blind fanboyism that has clouded you.

Clearly 1080p is better. Tested the theory on my pc, 1080p is ahead of 900p anyday anytime.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

Who in here was even thinking about buying Lords of the Fallen?

[jaixvx]

Wheres lens of truth when we need them??? This gen they disappeared! weird. hahaha

[Ninver]

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe ps3 gamers weren't delusional when they claimed lense of truth was biased.

[bandit905]

it just show the lack of work they put into the x1 copy.. cause the system is fully capable of 1080p but they got lazy.....and most people cant even see the difference from 1080p and 900p anyways so who cares

[ScaryMonkey]

The lazy excuse is getting old now.

[ATi_Elite]

900P on XB1
1080P on PS4
4k on PC

But none of this resolution crap matters when the gameplay is last gen. Just a flaimbait article to cover up the fact that LOTF does nothing new.

When will we get more net gen games like BF4 and TW3

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

Now that TVS have been 1080p standard for how many years already? I would truly expect our Next-Gen Consoles to be equally compatible! So no I don't see complaining about resolution as a bad thing!

[Hozi]

PC is where it's at. Even if I can't play ps4 games or xbox one games on pc...I'm sure some smart person will make an emulator in the future. hahahahaha!!!!

nah just kidding or am i? ok for real though....I think we should all just agree to disagree. It's about preferences and finding your comfort zone when it comes to games. Remember we need competition in the video game industry or else everything will be super expensive and lame.

[Macdaddy71]

Funny how when they talk bout 900p vs 1080p on the systems, every body n there friends post a reply,..lol...but on games that our reply mean something just a handful reply...
Sad thing is they are no one on here can tell the different in 900 vs 1080... Don't even say u can!!! Cause if they just release the game without telling anyone they be some saying the 900 looks better lmao...
Take every game release to date on both system x1 looks the same if not better.... Most games running at 900 on x1 plays smoother then ps4 1080... I have madden 15 on ps4 n x1 and X1 twice as smooth,.. Watch dog on both system also n they look the same NO diff... It's all in the people heads if you don't say anything they would not out there mouth....

[marcofdeath]

As i have stated before XB1 is more POWERFUL than PS4. It's by alot too. Xb1 has won in every type of games except PORTS. XB1 first party games Kill all of PS4's first party games on a purely technical level. this game was made by a developer that did not understand how Xbox ones works or understand it's architecture, another port with very little optimizations. If you do not optimize you will get 900P.

[ScaryMonkey]

"As i have stated before XB1 is more POWERFUL than PS4."

LOL, all you can do is laugh really.

[ziggurcat]

"As i have stated before XB1 is more POWERFUL than PS4. It's by alot too..."

http://38.media.tumblr.com/...

no. it is not.

"Xb1 has won in every type of games except PORTS."

no. it has not.

"XB1 first party games Kill all of PS4's first party games on a purely technical level"

no. they do not.

"this game was made by a developer that did not understand how Xbox ones works or understand it's architecture"

no. it was not.

why you keep insisting that xbone is more powerful than PS4 is beyond me. because forza happened to be shown during a *PC* DX12 demonstration that used the nvidia titan black GPU??

it's really sad, to be honest, that you're still clinging onto some misterx pipedream despite being proven wrong time, and time again. give it up. the specs have been known for a long time, now, and the FACT of the matter is that the PS4 is a more powerful system.

[marcofdeath]

1.PS4 still has not got a game = to the graphics in RYSE. WITHOUT black bars!
2.FMS5 almost one year later is still unmatched.
3.FH2 unmatched on any level.
A.CPU destructible environment
B GPU draw distance(that can be driven too, not a drive by)
C.DDR 3 + ESRAM open world.
D.4x MSAA (multi-sampling anti-aliasing) With out black bars and at full 1080p 30FPS.
3.HALO master chief collection 1080p 60FPS versus Last of us 1080p 30FPS(where's the power at?).
4.QUANTUM BREAK 1080P 30fps "NO BLACK BARS" UNMATCHED BY ANY ps4 game to date.
5. Sunset Overdrive unmatched in environmental objects on screen produced by GPU/CPU.
Now after all this that means that this developer was lazy/no optimization. Every game I just named is doing more in game than this game in a single frame. That's power!

[dRanzer]

#marcofdeath

1.RYSE? liner game at 900P\30FPS? well we have infamous SS in 1080P\30FPS open world game
2.did u hear about driveclub? next!
A.environment? more likly cars
B.drive to? FH2 is now GTA V? again driveclub - next!
c.what? ESRAM is bottelneck,open world for race game.JUST STOP
3.TLOU is 1080\60,plz get update
4.so AAA game 1080P\30FPS? no OW? well marvel tech xbox thank u
5.what sunset do that BF4 isnt doing one year ago? plus 900P on PS4 and 720P on xboxone,Dice not lazzy companie

If the Xbox was more powerful, I would admit it, but it's really not like that.
Of total Playstation 4 GPU is more powerful, more advanced memory and there is no bottleneck
Even if the processor runs faster on the Xbox tests show that the processor of the Playstation 4 can do more (can not find the link right now but made ​​a comparison between the 2 consolce and i7 processor)

[ziggurcat]

@marc:

"1.PS4 still has not got a game = to the graphics in RYSE. WITHOUT black bars!

no. all of that is opinion, not fact, nor is it proof of a more powerful console.

"3.HALO master chief collection 1080p 60FPS versus Last of us 1080p 30FPS(where's the power at?)."

no. you're ill-informed. halo MCC isn't even entirely 1080p @ 60fps... and TLOU remaster *is* 1080p @ 60fps - it has an *option* to *lock* it at 30fps, it's not the game's frame rate.

"Now after all this that means that this developer was lazy/no optimization."

no. it doesn't mean that at all. what it means is that you're upset that yet another multiplatform title on PS4 is going to outperform the xbone version, so you're going to come here and try to downplay the situation by repeatedly mentioning the order (for some reason), and calling the devs lazy.

"Every game I just named is doing more in game than this game in a single frame. That's power!"

no. that's delusion.

the specs of both systems being known for a long time = you will be horribly wrong any time you mention the power of xbone vs PS4, so stop embarrassing yourself.

[ScaryMonkey]

I have a bunch of stuff I'd like to say, but all of it would just sound like trolling so.................

[Shineon]

Bf4 looked better on what system (gaming console) despite resolution?

[Majin-vegeta]

PS4.

[runn67]

Alright the superior looking version is on the PS4 but "I" choose to play on X1 for the controller, friends, etc...Let the hate begin.

[Edvin1984]

I love and own both systems, and love maybe a strong word here, so lets just say I enjoy playing on both. However, I enjoy how the X1 works with my TV and I seamlessly go back and forth. However, as of late Kincet drops out no response, and the UI just froze up. I have reached out to their customer support they say reset the system and it will work and it does just why do I have to do all of that makes no sense, or is it just unfinished product I don't know. As of the resolution stuff if you have a choice to get the PS4 version why not I know I will even though I own more games on X1. In any case I am sure some one will bash me, but I have had a long day at the office and had a few beers needed to vent somewhere hahah... game on.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

To be honest I'm massively impressed with how the camera works with PS4! Also any friends I have that own Xbox One, that have seen me play the robot games/demos for them in person.... They were truly blown away and openly admitted they haven't seen interaction that in depth... Even done on the One!

[Edvin1984]

Cool.

[voodoogts]

Lords of the Fallen? Who cares about the res. This game will be horrible and a waste of money.

[BIGBOSS08]

and microsoft tried to charge $499 for this box? atleast with PS3, there was a legit reason for its high price. maybe microsoft can come back strong next gen but this gen is COMPLETELY OVER for microsoft! xbox one is no match for PS4 in any category.

[tlougotg]

So butt hurt, idiots saying 1080p versus 900 isn't noticeable. People saying they game on xbone Bcus controller is better lol haha many more ppl agree ps4 controller is the better controller so stop the bs. Xbone is getting waxed This gen so stop the propaganda and bs bout better controller, more stable, etc no one believes you lol

[DJ]

And Microsoft wonders why PS4 sales are double that of XB1...

[bazinga_91]

Thank you Sony for designing the most powerful console ever made.
The excuses being made here are hilarious. Lol.

[ibrake4naps]

We get it, ps4 is more powerful. Let's move on. If you're going for multiplatform or best exclusives go ps4, but for most other things go xone...

[DJStotty]

I buy my multiplatform games on the Xbox one because that's what console I have its as simple as that

[SojournUK]

Firstly let me add I have a PS4.

Is it just me or has many of the articles on here recently just been about bashing on the Xbox One?

[GarrusVakarian]

Wait....reporting news is now "bashing"?

Wat?

The game is 1080p on PS4 and 900p on X1, that's not bashing, that's reporting facts. Every single game that gets released has it's technical info reported on this site. If that technical info is consistently in PS4's favour...that's no one fault but MS's. They should have made their console more powerful and easier to work with.

[SojournUK]

I was just making an observation, don't get your knickers in a twist :)

[RedstonerMC]

There's lots of other articles too people are just interested in these because they enjoy being proud of going for the underdog (sony) and ending up making the right console purchase. Nothing personal on my part i just get good feels whenever i see sony continuing up the food chain and kicking ass.

[Haru]

I can't believe we're still arguing over which console is more powerful, i think by now it should be pretty clear that PS4 is the superior console and all the facts prove it, unless you're a blind fanboy you should know it by now

[sovkhan]

So true!!!

[DoggyBiscuit]

This is not news to me since most games are 1080p on PS4 and 900p on X1

[endzeitkind]

omg no

[Yurtigo]

Hahaha

[corroios]

Of course this is news! More then 300 comments!. There are many that cant accept that the multiplat will always run better on the ps4. Even the crap pr from microsoft is losing steam..Because no cloud , dx12,esram,, dgpu will be able to get to the ps4 level. There is only one way for microsoft and that is to pay to have the better version. By the way lordsss of fallen is shaping to be a good game and seems much better that some exclusive that are coming out.

[_LarZen_]

The XBO version is "just" running at 633.000 less pixels.....

[WitWolfy]

Here we go again...

[DanBal76]

Let's face it, if done "right", a game will be 1080p on the PS4 and 900p on the Xbox One. The PS4 is simply more powerful, as simple as that. And, despite the resolution difference, if the Xbox One version retains the same level of detail and frame rate of the PS4 version, i don't see that much of a problem. This gen reminds me a lot the original Xbox/PS2 gen: that gen, almost all multiplat games on the original Xbox had better resolution, lighting, detail, and, in some instances, better frame rates. That didn't stop the PS2 of being righly succesfull. 1080p is better, of course, but 900p is a respectable resolution as well, at least for the current console gaming.

[Aon]

For me nothing wrong with that. Between 1080p and 900p resolution is not until such a big difference. But this is only my opinion.

[RedstonerMC]

Surprise Surprise mother fuckers. Microsoft games fall short again..

[Joher]

I know between XBOX ONE and PS4 we will see a big difference but betweent this two resolution we can't see that big difference. For me nothing bad in that because LotF is not first game where we don't have 1080p on XO.

[Artemidorus]

900p for Playstation 4 as a Sony fan: Looks ok
900p for Xbox One as a Sonys fan: not 1080p, not next gen.

You are the worse type of people when it comes to gaming. I even question the nonsense in numbers when you got something called a 'PC' that offers numbers that Playstation 4 won't even go near.

You have a 1080p setting, you are not going to tell a difference on a large scale. Go and try out 4k then come back and explain the difference.

[Aon]

The biggest difference between XBOX ONE and PS4 is in the hardware. Resolution between this two platform is not a big difference. It doesn't matter for me 900p or 1080p.
