Xbox One 1080p Issues Can Be Resolved

Khurram of Corrupted Cartridge writes "Since the release of the Xbox One and the PS4, both consoles have come under flak regarding the framerates and native resolutions they achieve for some of their games, particularly the Xbox One. However, according to Jean-Baptiste Bolcato, senior producer at Rebellion Games ( the studio behind Sniper Elite 3 ) the field may be evening out between the two machines."

Unless you do SDK update and even then the power of 1080p at 60fps is too great!

[tuglu_pati]

1080p wont be the norm on XBox One people should just accept it and move on.

[afterMoth]

1080p can be the norm if they lower framerates, textures and other things. 1080p is possible on the 360 as well.

[tuglu_pati]

@ afterMoth

And I bet they wont lower those other parts so 1080p wont be the norm.

[truefan1]

Lol are we really saying this 2.5 months into this gaming generation. You ps4 fanboys crack me up, so it was ok for devs to get years to learn the ps3 architecture, but they only get 2.5 months to learn the XB1. The hypocrisy is laughable, you guys don't even try to disguise it anymore. Shouldn't we wait for exclusives like Sunset Overdrive or Quantum Break before making such accusations.

[Utalkin2me]

The xbox 1 has PC architecture, not like they have to cope with a completely new chip such as the cell and stuff. I would be concerned if they are already having to make sacrifices this early in the generation. Will they optimize better later on, well sure. But this is a big red flag if i was a xbox1 owner. Well that is if your a gamer anyways.

[Ricegum]

Haha, you can always count on Truefan to stop by. Don't be so defensive all the time man.

The difference is that Xbox 360 versions of games were not way above the standard of PS3 games which is the case this gen. For the Xbox One to be on par with the PS4 shouldn't take time, it should be something to expect right out of the gate.

[Kingthrash360]

@ true fan
and when they dont come out at 1080 60fps...will then you accept whats going on?
x1 is too weak, they put too much attention and money into the kinect. it will pump out great games, but MOST will not hit the 1080/60 level.
move on and enjoy games.

[Bdub2000]

No, the problem is that we have accepted it and PS4 fans and stories like this keep making it a topic... Otherwise, I honestly don't care at this point. Bring on the games.

[dcbronco]

SO people believe that while last gen consoles were capable of doing some games in 1080p 60fps, new technology built 7 or 8 years later can't possibly do it. People can convince themselves of anything.

[GameNameFame]

Truefan...

You are truely deseperate. Go look at the spec.

@dcbronco.

1080P 60fps? Yea. If you degrade texture, light, physics and literally everything about the game.

[mark3214uk]

guess were going to have to wait for ps5 and xb2 for 4k gaming :(

[UltraNova]

Nope in 6-7 years when they arrive you better hope for a rock solid 60fps for all games, and up to 2K max resolution in full stereoscopic 3D. Just forget 4k altogether, even PC's wont play at 4K (as standard) by that time.

Just for the fun of it I will give you the specs of the PS5 and Xbone 2(IMO): 12core CPU with 16Gb RAM probably GDDR5 (or GDDR6 depending on cost), 2 TB drive and a Titan powered GPU equivalent or slightly more powerful.

And all that if we are lucky!

[Vames]

Yet no AAA PS4 exclusive is doing 1080p 60fps

[SoSolidrejaul]

Erm off the top of my head, infamous? 1080p @30fps

[MethCupcakes]

KZSF. 1080p 60 FPS MP.

[ape007]

hopefully

[ape007]

wow disagrees for a peaceful comment

[Mikelarry]

Ps4 has been getting flak for running games @ 1080p and 60 fps... This is news to me

[ThePope]

Not all games on the PS4 run at those numbers

[DragonKnight]

The difference being that with the PS4, it's a design choice to not run at those numbers. With the Xbox One it mostly isn't.

[PsychOff]

On the PS4 all the games that really count do run at 1080p. Framerates are a different story but I'll take 1080p, 30-60fps over 720p, 60fps any day.

I can't say the same for my Xbox One besides Forza.

[ThePope]

Ok whatever you guys say lol. I hope you dont drive with those blinders on.

[DragonKnight]

Can it be resolved WITHOUT sacrifices somewhere else?

[SkullBlade169]

Not unless they find the ultra secret 2nd GPU that Xbox fanboys were banging on about awhile ago.

[DragonKnight]

Lol, I love the disagrees I'm getting for asking a legitimate question. It's like "NO, A SACRIFICE WILL ALWAYS BE NEEDED TO APPEASE THE CLOUD GOD"

[Convas]

Sacrifices are a part of console gaming.

Hence why you won't see a game running @ 1080p60 with 4x MSAA and "ultra" level details.

To suggest that development teams don't sacrifice certain things during PS4 development (to a lesser extent than XBone) is pretty laughable.

[DragonKnight]

*facepalm*

The problem with PC gamers is that they can only converse in PC terms. Clearly my comment was spoken in a foreign language else you'd have understood it better.

[Megaton]

Yeah, just turn the graphics down to low.

[DragonKnight]

That should be a slow jam.

[PsychOff]

At this point with the constant list of games that are proving otherwise.. I am just going to wait and see.. So far I am very disappointed in the Xbox One as far as power is concerned.

Those 5 billion transistors they blabbed on about and the cloud don't seem to be doing jack squat for it.

[tuglu_pati]

Obviously is going get really rough for MS. They wont be able to hit 1080p on most of their games and Sony will taunt resolution as the biggest next gen feature. Rough times for MS and Xbox ahead. They should have go for power and not kinect.

[MachineGunnTalk]

clown much?

[CrossingEden]

There are at least six games that run at 1080p. -_- Obviously it can be done on the console.

[kingdip90]

If they do fix the 1080 issue then the people who have bee. Playing games on lower resolutions up to now should feel robbed! If the machine was capable all this time then it should have been optimized for this from the start.

[chrissx]

Yea it can when they Reduce the graphics, like we saw them do to forza ala the cardboard crowds etc

[jhoward585]

Agreed, it can if they Reduce the graphics, use tricks, z buffering, baked lighting, etc.

The problem with using tricks is that if one use too much of it..it will start to look fake.

Forza is a prime example of that.

[tiremfej]

Kind of like the fog PS4 uses?

[SasukeX16]

That was because of the rain, if you watched gameplay you would know, ignorant troll.

[tiremfej]

@susuke

I can assure yoy I'm far from ignorant, I'm also far from a troll. The trolls are the ones knocking the X1 on a positive article.

You my friend who has to resort to name calling is the ignorant one...you honestly can admit the PS4 doesn't use fog to cover things up??? Even in FIFA you can see it!

[BX81]

Good to hear MS. It's good to see companies working with the devs.

[Edvin1984]

Ryse at 900P I believe looks great with the upscale, so I am happy with that. Sure more is better, but lets be more creative with the games, and focus less on number game. I own both PS4 and X1, and only play Killer Instinct rest is meh entertainment wise for me. I want games like Titanfall, Infamouse, The Order, Destiny and all that will come in time I guess.

[GamersHeaven]

Yes it can its called reduced framerate and downgraded graphics I don't see that happening from much developers tbh.

[CharlesSwann]

Release the Cloud™!

[maniacmayhem]

“They are releasing a new SDK [developer kit] that’s much faster, and we will be comfortably running at 1080p on the Xbox One."

Then what will the argument be when and if this occurs from both camps on N4G?

Hopefully we will all get back to which games are better for each system. Like how it used to be.

[BX81]

I agree. I think it's all about preference. I'm always looking for the next gaming experience that draws me in story wise. As long as it doesn't look like complete crap. Lol. Game on!

[Cryptcuzz]

The argument then would be which game/which version of the same game are in 1080P but with higher framerate/smoother locked framerate, higher resolution textures/details and more next gen effects being used.

The argument behind which console looks and plays games better will never stop. That is the nature of the beast that I do not see changing.

[LexRex]

Here,.. Problem solved.

http://i62.tinypic.com/5byc...

[RoboticusRex]

Microsoft has been smoking the cloud. They put the resources into kinect and skimped on power. That's why when they said they listen to consumers, it was obviously a lie. I don't remember people saying they want a wonky way of changing TV channels over graphical prowess.

[tuglu_pati]

Agree, Kinect is gonna cost MS a lot this generation. They wanted to appeal to the casual gamer (masses), but the casual already have their gimmicks they don't want another one.

[pupa]

Fortunately the PS4 do not need "resolution" to win this gen, it's doing it all with the sheer overall performance, multiplat quality, the AAA games soon to be released and price which makes it the' console in demand. Anyone disputing that is just failing to comprehend reality. M$ are paying a lot to many shrills to come up with these snippets of "possibilities" to keep people interested with a the hope of an eminent miracle in the making .... yet we see no real tangible proof as yet. The fact the PS4 up to now do not have these limitations and the Xbone have and NO (zilch) PR BS talking are going to change the status quo so M$ just stop the talking and bring it on! Show us the goods.

Edit:

Erm?....

http://n4g.com/news/1455663...

Maybe I am just very impatient and expect to much to soon??

[BX81]

Goods= Ryse, dead rising 3, Titanfall and a bunch of other games coming to the xb1 this year.

[riseer23]

Ryse sucks,Dead rising 3 is last gen and Titanfall is COD with mechs.Did i miss anything?

[BX81]

Yeah, you missed all the games coming out this year. Did you play ryse or dr3? You're entitled to your opinion. Not every game is for everyone but by reading your comment I'm guessing you're just trying to troll.

[kewlkat007]

I have no doubt once devs get a grapple on the hardware with updated drivers and last-gen focus starts to shift on next-gen.

[Gr1mmyshadows]

It really does make me laugh seeing how many of you people argue over resolutions and framerates. Just play the games, and if the XB1 isn't as powerful then so be it. We're all going to have fun regardless.

[fossilfern]

There is no point debating on this site. Alot of the Playstation fanboys have seem to have forgotten about the early years of the PS3 and its multiplats. And forgotten that both the PS1 and PS2 were not the most powerful consoles of their generation either.

[Max-Zorin]

Meanwhile PC gamers are laughing loud and hard at people argue about a resolution and frame setting they've been using before it was cool.

[PaperMan]

Whether the future games are 1080p or not as long as they play good I don't care. I'm playing the game and not the graphics.

[SynestheticRoar]

That's right don't dispute it just profess, affirm, declare, and accepted.

[Games_R_Us]

Its early days and its good to see Dev's making use of the eSRAM. Dont care whether people say PS4 is more powerful, hardware is nothing without software, and if our devs can make a game perform well, its kudos to them.

Many folks forget the pig that was the Cell processor in PS3. Yet, look at Uncharted and Last of Us. Once you get to know the tech and use it the results were outstanding, despite PS3 not being as graphically capable as the 360.

Either way, hang in there gamers, I am sure with the changes to kinects resource usage, ESRAM use by devs, we'll see more games hit that 1080p mark.

Then again, do I care personally? No, I do not. I play the games no matter what they are on, and that sir, is what a true gamer is.

[TristanPR77]

"Xbox One 1080p Issues Can Be Resolved"

Yes, with new hardware. There is no magic sauce that will fix hardware inferiority. Stop lying to xbone owners and given them false hopes.

[Back-to-Back]

N4G does like to spread false hope on a daily basis. It is our job(commentors) to call them out.

[parentsbasement]

Damn , I used to like my Xbox 1 before I came here to read , now I wonder if it could even render Flappy Bird at a decent FPS and Res.......
