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.

[DarkLordMalik]

"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_job]

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

[majiebeast]

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

[DarkLordMalik]

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.

[DeadMansHand]

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.

[Kayant]

He was banned for something silly ---> http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

[k3rn3ll]

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?

[Eonjay]

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...

[k3rn3ll]

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_bom]

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

Only play exclusives on consoles.

[jackanderson1985]

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

[Deividas]

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.

[Eonjay]

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.

[redwin]

On xbone, is I better to have [email protected] than [email protected]?

[BallsEye]

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

[DigitalRaptor]

"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?

[BallsEye]

@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.

[Skips]

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.

[BigShotSmoov007]

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.

[DEEBO]

If you own both ps4 but if you only have the xbox one enjoy the game.

[Nero1314]

We need more gamers like you man :)

[ShutUpDonny]

Agreed. It won't make the games more fun, just prettier.

[yezz]

Prettier is still a good thing.. ;)

[ShutUpDonny]

@yezz
Yes it is. It makes good stuff better, not bad stuff good. Just like blu ray can't make a bad movie good compared to DVD.

[NeoTribe]

Pretty girls are more fun than ugly ones. I like to figure games are the same.

[insomnium2]

@neo

Pretty girls are more FUN? Dude are you inexperienced? It's the exact opposite as far as being fun goes. Now if we were to talk about which one is prettier to look at while *cough,cough* then you are on to something.

[k3rn3ll]

Xone for multiplayer ps4 for single player. I've got 30 or so friends I gake with on live and they arent switchingnso that's where I go to play with my peoples. But sigle player games on ps4 for sure

[insomnium2]

Line, hook and sinker last gen eh? How about you and your friends give me some cash for absolutely nothing in return while you are at it? LOL!

[wtopez]

I wish there was a system where I could run both games at 60 FPS and 1080p.

[Talidan]

Build yourself a nice PC, friend. Whether from scratch or finding a decent refurb on a deal site (Woot is good for that) and slapping in some better hardware, you'll get the most bang for your buck in terms of performance, versus a console.

I love my consoles dearly, but if you want power and performance, PC is the best route.

[wtopez]

Bubble for well said.

[frostypants]

Well said, but the problem there is you better be willing to shell out $900+. It would take at least $650 to build a PC that merely matches the PS4 specs/capabilities, and that's with bargain bin parts (crappy case/keyboard/controller/etc.) and before you pay for Windows (another $100). But yeah, if money is no object, go PC and get high-end everything.

[Talidan]

@frostypants
Merely matches? No, $650-700 would get you well above, if going from scratch.
A quick toss-together without serious sacrifice on PCPartPicker gives me just about $700, WITH Windows license.

AMD-FX6200
GTX 760
500GB 7200RPM HDD
8GB RAM

PSU, case, optical drive, etc, all included. Cheap keyboard, $5, go to eBay for a gaming mouse and get someone's 6 month old Razer for $15-20.

To be comparable to PS4, you can do that in the $400-500 range.

Corners can be cut, refurbs can be found, go to eBay or forums and you can lower the total by 15-40%, if you're really trying to budget and don't mind some parts used.

One of the great things about PC gaming is you are not limited to what you can get in a Sony/Microsoft box at MSRP.

[starchild]

And here's frostypants with more of his anti-PC FUD.

No, frostypants, even my $800 PC build from 2 years beats the PS4 in games like Battlefield 4 and AC4. You can build a machine like that for around $600 today and the price-to-performance ratio is only going to improve over time.

PC IS the ONLY gaming platform that you can have 1080p+ and 60fps+ in EVERY game.

Games on PS4 are going to mostly be 1080p and 30fps, while games on the XB1 will mostly be 720p or 900p and 30fps.

[webeblazing]

yea this guy constantly spread bs.

[medman]

60 fps isn't really necessary unless you're talking about a fast twitch shooter. For an open world game it really doesn't present a huge benefit.

[Convas]

Oh I have such a system.

It's called a PC.

[alb1899]

Wao they are just trying downplay the momentum of the xone and TITANFALL.

[Sevir]

No one here is downplaying Titan-Fall, when said people reporting this is looking forward to Titanfall.

So Far Everying reported on the XBO on performance of software has been spot on, all the way back from MAY last year t the XBO reveal, hell even the rumored stuff happening back in early 2013, late 2012 came out to be true through digging and reverse engineering when the console was released since MS played coy with their specs.

You're just making excuses.

[bjmartynhak]

It makes sense. MLB14, new Infamous footage, new Deep Down footage, The Order new trailer coming tomorrow and then some very fortunate leaks, Thief, Witcher, Watch Dogs, MGS... It seems that the insiders were waiting the perfect timing.

(Did I just call Kojima himself an insider? oh well...)

[Sevir]

So since 2014 started... Tomb Raider, MGSV, Thief, and now Watch_Dogs and Witcher 3!?

WOW!!! This is just bananas! I wonder what the folks over at Redmond are thinking as this is happening!

[GamingNerd013]

U know I think at this point is that if u had a choice between PS4 and X1 4 next gen gaming just get the PS4 as it's common sense as u would end up getting a better Version of the 3rd party games ps plus wich kills live in every way faster UI faster loading and better exclusives down the road. . With X1 I can only think of having it 4 exclusives only and then kenect and tv if u care about those things. I really think MS made a big mistake not make X1 a gaming console first then everything else 2nd and forcing kenect on people who don't want it.

[dark_101]

Ouch

[Qwagy UK]

Disappointing 900p

[RexLex]

Not really ,.. Witcher 2 and even witcher 1 run like shit even on most high end machines ,.. Not surprised at all.

[RexLex]

Well it is the truth,.. Witcher runs like crap

[pyramidshead]

Agreed. Damn it :(.

[JackVagina]

Kinda seems like people are just throwing up articles/ trying to get a name for themselves trying to ride the MGS shitstorm

Just sayn... (Even tho these games will likely be running at lower resolutions)

[JackVagina]

its pretty obvious whats happening here, a bunch of insiders playing the guessing game & riding the MGS wave stating the obvious

[Ko_Uraki]

The Witcher on PS4 is actually at 900p.

[solidjun5]

"WIth the updates/kinnect Xb1 is far superior than the ps4 in overall package."

Yea, you keep telling yourself that sak500.

[Why o why]

Them guys are fanbleeding from every orifice. Overall package talk..... what a joker... good luck for him but this next 7 years are going to be very hard on guys like that. Better off leaving n4g.

[insomnium2]

Yeah I mean sak used to be just nuts but now he's gone batsh*t crazy with his fanboyism. Tough times ahead for him.

[Father__Merrin]

this won't let up now, face it people you have no arguments left

Sony gamers will have non stop supply of great games that look great

I would never swap my PS4 for an Xbox1 never!!!

OH COME ON!!!!!! 1080p

[mochachino]

Damn, why won't devs make frame rate a priority. I'd much rather prefer 720 at 60 FPS than 1080 and 30FPS.

Gameplay smoothness over picture sharpness any day.

[WickedLester]

None of these games NEED 60fps. These are all 3rd person action/adventure titles. A smooth 30fps is all you need for these game types.

[killzone619]

ermm what? there is no such thing as a game that doesnt need 60fps.

60fps improves the look and feel on any game. But considering you're a console gamer you wouldnt know...

[webeblazing]

they dont know the benefit of gameplay and animation that high frame rate gives. they gonna keep saying its not needed till alot of games have then it will be another pissing match.

[lonewolfjedi]

I feel bad for all my xbox gamers that bought 1080p monitors or televisions to bring in next gen. Don't try to damage control this info. This is nobody's fault but Microsoft's let it be known you don't approve of the xbox one $500 price and underpowered specs.

[beatled]

with all the jaggies, screen tearing and sub-1080p resolutions its like the ps4 and xbox1 are just add-ons for the ps3/360

nothing has even changed....

PC always unless its an amazing and rare exclusive on xbox1 or ps4 for me

[frostypants]

Depends on your PC. My current PC can't match the PS4. I'd need to spend about the price of a PS4 on my PC just to hit parity, and that's assuming I don't upgrade anything beyond the motherboard/CPU/GPU.

[starchild]

Again, more nonsense from you.

A person can build a PC right now for only $200 more than a PS4 and have better graphics and performance than the PS4, as well as enjoy free online gaming and cheaper games.

The extra $200 you pay upfront is an excellent investment that saves you hundreds more over the course of the generation. Not to mention that the PC does a million things a console can't.

[Trioptical]

So, will all of this have an unintended side effect of developers shooting lower for their games so they can have parity accross the two consoles? All of the games thus far that perform better on PS4 were being worked on before devs got a really good look at performance on XBOne's final dev equipment.

Put another (more inflamatory) way, are XBOX hardware limitations going to hold back game devs for another generation?

[SDRA]

I'm pretty sure that CD Project RED (The Witcher 3 developer) praised the Xbox One a month or so ago and I believe them more than some random "insider". However, if this will be true, I'll buy the best console version, having both machines.

EDIT: In any case, I think that games are not only graphics and a lot of times I don't care about the best version, but the best gamepad to play with, 'cause I care about gameplay the most. Let's game, no matter what platform you're on!

[DanielGearSolid]

This is the worst day of the Xbox 1's life

[WeAreLegion]

It dealt with worse issues while it was still in the womb.

[ape007]

well i wish ps4 and X1 were more powerful, ps4 and X1 are less powerful than ps3 and 360 (at the time)

i wouldn't mind ps4 and xbox one(without kinect) being 500$

[batbatz]

less powerful, more expensive console has shittier games, omg

[killzone619]

as of right now the xbox one has better games than the ps4.
