Ever since the world learned that the Xbox One versions of Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4 would run at 720p, the internet has been exploding and freaking out over what has been dubbed “Resolutiongate”. The core if the issue is numerous articles being written by the likes of IGN, Kotaku, and even ArsTechnica that state that the difference between 720p and 1080p isn’t that big of a deal and if you just sit farther away from your TV you won’t even notice.
They’re lying to you.
A new Season 3 trailer has accidentally been leaked and removed, but The First Descendant fans have managed to share it with the community.
Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.
It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!
But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.
Even as the company sets out to overhaul the very definition of Xbox, cuts at its studios risk creating a negative image reminiscent of EA's worst era
I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.
Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.
That's not true at all the OG Xbox had drive and they had hunger and they wanted to accomplish something. It was a great console.
they didn't quite reach their goals and they gave up prematurely because they couldn't win. It was halfway through the Xbox 360 when kinect released and that was when they lost their way and we're a rudderless ship ever since
In all fairness, Xbox had some great games with online play, Xbox 360 even better. Xbox consoles started to die with the Xbox One. Ditch consoles for the PC and PS.
@Bathyj hard to compute ay. Xbox was never better than a PC and that's all they ever were. A demo box. Doesn't get more true than that.

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.
The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.
That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.
@christopher: “ That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest”
The key word big can be ether good or bad 🤷🏿only time can tell
First Forza being generated entirely via AI?
If any company would do it, it'd be them.
Isn't the point that it's irrelevant how profitable MS is, the suits have decided it's time that the Xbox division started making them money. Hence the layoffs, the pivots.
That wouldn't surprise me, as motorsport has been heading down hill since the great number 4. Where as playground have consistently put out better games. I think the two studios will be merged under playground games banner.

It's just fanboys and M$ loyalists playing damage control.
@Pedro Yes I did the The only people who are saying resolution doesn't make a big difference are those blinded by M$ loyalty as well as those sites sponsored by them.
The fact anyone is willing to pay more for less, is damning in its own right! I like to have the best console experience I can possibly have, and right now that experience seems to be better enjoyed on the PS4.
I can see why Ign, kotaku....are writting articles like that as there main aim is constant foot traffic and writting and article saying it does matter (about COD difference or BF difference) means it would piss off a potentially large fan base (for what gain?). But what irritates me is that hardly any outlets are talking about any of the long term impacts of this revelation. Tools may improve and developers may grasp the difficult tech but games always get more complex as the cycle goes on and that is where the impact/problem really lies
There is a huge difference! When I used to play PC games on my hdtv, changing the settings from 720 to 1080 made a big difference in detail on the screen.
I'm just happy they gave it a name.
