Rumor: The Division on PS4 will run on a higher resolution than Xbox One

An interesting tweet appeared by Twitter user and Industry insider 'Tidux'. According to Tidux the PS4 version of Tom Clancy's 'The Division' will run on a higher resolution than its Xbox One counterpart.

[MrSwankSinatra]

do people still care about this whole resolution debacle?

[Hellsvacancy]

If the XB1s version of The Division had higher resolution than the PS4s version it would matter all of a sudden

[PoSTedUP]

because that would be ludicrous, the PS4 is better. no way the rez should be Lower than X1, nor should it be on par for parity sake. so yes it matters either way. i care, im the resolution police.

[vishmarx]

the internet would go crazy if ps4 had the same res as xb1.
i cant even imagine what it would be like if xb1 had the better resolution.

OT
its in ubi's best interest to cut the prity crap after what happened to them with unity.for their own sake.

[Crimzon]

I'm not sure why anyone would anticipate The Division after how Watch Dogs and Assassins Creed turned out, I don't think for one second that the game will look anything like the original gameplay footage when it releases.

[donman1]

Yep it does... I am buying a next gen gaming console for superior gaming which includes improved graphics and not as a wanna be multimedia hub.

Graphics doesn't matter they say yet the same individuals ridicule the WiiU because it cannot put out the same visual fidelity as the XboxOne. For those people... you cannot have it both ways.

[Gazondaily]

Well that doesn't even make sense. The Xbox is weaker. It having a better resolution would be talked about for sure.

But at this stage, resolution is a big weapon in the fanboy/console war so it will continue to matter way after this generation is done and dusted.

And lol at Tidux. Surely the most objective of all insiders out there ;)

I expect The Division to run on a lower resolution for sure on the X1. It will be the case for most gfx intensive next gen titles.

[Volkama]

@Vishmark "the internet would go crazy if ps4 had the same res as xb1."

The internet really wouldn't. A very vocal contingent of PS4 fanboys would get their panties in a twist, but fortunately those guys don't account for the entirety of the internet lol.

[Cindy-rella]

Rumor : the division on ps4 will run on a higher resolution than xbox one. That is what should happen if the developers utilize each systems specs properly since the ps4 is way more powerful than the Xbox one.

[theDivision]

Wish I could give you more than one agree. Honestly as long as the content for game is on all platforms equally I will be 100% happy.

[mikeslemonade]

Long generation for you people who prefer X1. Atleast a few of you don't go into hiding.

[Perjoss]

"If the XB1s version of The Division had higher resolution than the PS4s"

Yeah, that would never happen.

[DLConspiracy]

Mostly because these articles comment sections are all about who can brag harder or who is a better gamer for choosing the more powerful $400 machine. Yet when PC guys come in and do it they get yelled at and hated for being the more powerful one. If graphics mattered that much nobody would be playing on consoles.

As long as the game plays I am pretty sure people can enjoy the game on all systems. Some just need reassurance some don't.

[GameNameFame]

Resolution: it only doesnt matter if X1 is lower. If same or better, only thing that does matter.

Remember twitch briefly having better res on X1 before PS4 update?

LOl. that was hilarious.

[otherZinc]

I see people around here still don't read articles........

Tidux, didn't say what the "Title" suggests he said.

If UBI Soft does use the strengths of the PS4 & XBOX ONE, we all know if it's a "Next-Gen Exclusive; The Division will be 1080p 60fps, have Campaign Co-op, with a Horde Mode (like) feature. The PS4 version would be 1080p 30fps, "No" Campaign Co-op, and "No" Horde Mode (like) feature.

We know this because the PS4 has zero 1080p 60fps AAA Next-gen Only games running 1080p 60fps, and none on the way in 2015. Not The Order 1886, Blood Born, nor Uncharted 4...not even the great Naughty Dog can make Uncharted 4 reach 1080p 60fps.

Meanwhile:
Fable Legends, Forza Motorsport 6, and Halo 5 will be 1080p 60fps Locked;in 2015!

[antz1104]

Because that's the best argument:

"Well if it was the other way around you'd be doing it, so it's ok."

Lol whatever, honestly ppl care way too much about resolution on either system around here. The percentage one system has an edge over the other is minuscule at best on most multiplats.

[dcbronco]

All of this resolution talk is kind of old. The real potential issue is whether or not the Division will be a DX12 game. There were issues on PS4 with Unity when there were a lot of NPCs on the screen. If this is a DX12 game, the increase in CPU will allow for much better gameplay on the Xbox. So if Microsoft is in fact pushing Ubisoft, I bet it's about pushing that CPU for AI and more happening on screen. Because despite 900p the Xbox version should show a lot more than the PS4 version if Ubisoft has really made an effort to use the full ability of each console individually. Almost indistinguishable graphics aside, the Xbox One version should really be the one that shines with a DX12 PC version having it all.

[user5575708]

well had microsoft just created a piece of hardware designed for gaming rather than everything else then maybe this resolution nonsense wouldn't even be an issue

[PandaExpress]

@DLConspiracy theres a reason why its called console war. Because its between concoles. Its not called Video game system war ok. so pc is not part of it ok? now you learned

[modelgod]

You get a disagree for that dumb as s comment because we all know how powerful the ps4 is so if the resolution was higher on the x1, we'll all be wondering why. This debate is getting ridiculous. Ps4 is stronger, so it comes down to your gaming style, simple and plain. Geez!!! I'm a true to heart X box fan but I love Sonys 2015 lineup. I'll get one once Street fighter 5 drops. I'm not bias but these comparisons has to stop and they need to focus their energy elsewhere besides comparing frame rates and reolutions, it's getting old quick... ala Benjamin button.

[JackBNimble]

I bet most people wouldn't even notice a difference in resolution unless they had the game running on both consoles side by side. And even then I am sure it would be hard to tell the difference in resolution.

But then again what do I know ? I am still on ps3/pc .

[MysticStrummer]

@antz1104 - "Because that's the best argument…"

It's not an argument. One person asked if people still care about resolution and another replied that people would surely care if the resolution tables were turned. They undeniably would care. Just like with sales, they don't matter when your console is being trounced but then they do when it wins a month or two. These are facts, witnessed here all the time, not theoretical arguments.

[Azzanation]

Rumour has it that the PC version will run a higher version then then PS4. Honestly who the hell cares. Unless your a PC gaming playing these games at there best, this should not matter. XB1 and PS4 versions will play identical meaning the gameplay is the same, which is the most important thing when it comes to games. As long as neither version is broken.

PS4 version will have advantages but so would the X1. X1 will benefit from Rumble triggers and a stable network while PS4 will benefit from slightly better visuals while PC version will benefit in all aspects.

Gamers should be more worried about the games quality interms of polish then which resolution there playing at. Articles like these only cause fanboy wars between gamers.

[Mr Pumblechook]

Shinobi is proven. Tidux is not. I distrusted him about Project Morpheus. The day before the reveal he had no info. As soon as it was revealed he gave a list of games that were being made for it. It's easy to know after the fact.

[Kamikaze00]

Are you other fans still coming in to these articles trying to downplay the issue as it makes you feel better?

Does a PC guy, who has spent roughly the same amount of money on a graphics card, but is somehow getting lower resolution than another graphics card care?

Yet MS fans are all so hyped about getting more performance out of DX12, so hypocritical.

Yes, people do still care. You all still care, until the shoe is on the other foot.

[Gazondaily]

If anyone really has a right to care thehave it's the PC lot having their games dumbed down for the sake of parity with consoles holding them back. It's been happening to them for years.

But according to N4G, it costs £2k just to build a decent rig.

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

***"But according to N4G, it costs £2k just to build a decent rig."***

Thought only PS fans thought that according to you.

[deecee33]

Meh. This 1080p vs 900p deal has happened many times already, no? I'm just hoping this game offers a much better quest/shooter/co-op experience than destiny.

[creatchee]

@Kamikaze00

"Yet MS fans are all so hyped about getting more performance out of DX12, so hypocritical."

How is it hypocritical to want better performance for your hardware through software improvement? Nobody is saying "ZOMG DX12 is going to give Xbox better graphics than the PS4!" Well, nobody sane at least.

See, you or somebody with your mentality interprets an Xbox owner having this excitement as only a fanboy would read it, because that is the only mentality that you know. Most rational people would just say that somebody is excited because they're getting more than they were before.

[reko]

@Nugget

900p 25fps cheap ass ms lol

[Dir_en_grey]

@Septic
No, a lot of PC games are "dumbed down" or just not made very well for the lower end PC's. That is always the problem for PC gaming, you get crappy graphics so everybody can play.

Until "the master race" kept begging for the once console exclusives to be on PC you didn't even get them until recently.

[r2oB]

@ septic

You forgot the fact that not every PC gamer has equipment that would meet the requirements to run games better than consoles, since PC games are not optimized and rely on brute strength of the GPU (for now). So those PC gamers are also holding PC gaming back since developers have to cater to an unknown amount of PC configurations. I'd reckon there are a lot of underwhelming PCs that developers want to cater to.

Can you build a decent rig for $400 that could run recent games with console quality?

[XBLSkull]

I play PC games but am not a PC elitist. I would like someone to build a $350-400 computer though that will be capable of playing 2018-2019 latest games in any fashion. The PS4/Xbox One will, and they will run them, with better graphics and performance than the games out now. You'll be lucky to even play those games on a $350-400 PC in a few years, and certainly not at their best. Hell, almost $100 has to be dedicated to windows operating system alone, and you can't really do much with the $250-300 left over. Everyone I've seen try leaves out the operating system, mouse/keyboard, and tells you to have an extra PC tower lying around and cuts that stuff out of the budget. Bottom line is consoles are fantastic for what they are. I feel like if you aren't going to go all out and build a monster gaming rig, there isn't any point in buying lower end and dated hardware just to be able to PC game, your money is better spent on a console for sure.

[MrSwankSinatra]

downplaying how? I asked a simple question, how about you stop being paranoid.

[UltraNova]

Jesus Christ I swear I thought I'd never see the day when I would agree with XBLskull...

To expand on what he said, for all those who say they can built a $400 PC that can perform better or at least equally to either a ps4 or xb1 must built this PC with parts available up to 2013 + windows + keyboard + mouse and no later than that(screen not required in the 400 price tag).

Because both consoles where designed and built and are forever stack with 2012-2013 parts.

That sounds fair! I here people saying...I know...

Whats the point in arguing after 2-3 years the consoles are already out that its possible to built a $400 PC with current tech that can beat the consoles? Well duh!!

A $50,000 2015 sports car can beat the shit out a $100,000 2010-12 car and its not even a matter of discussion let alone comparing them!!

The interesting part is how will these PCs fair against games 2,3,4,5 years down the line? I think its safe to say most titles will be either unplayable or not supported at all!

So begone with the $400 PC argument already.

[xSHADOWx]

Judging by the number of dislikes here, I'll say yes.
LOL.

[thanhgee]

Well last gen it mattered, don't know why it shouldn't be any different this gen.

[Why o why]

Thanhgee

Yep. Some people still here now on n4g act like digital foundry and lens of truth squabbles didn't exist. . Like multiplatform supremacy wasn't championed. I laugh at the turncoats.

[Godmars290]

Since MS is doing everything they can to shrink the gap, this before they've even fully introduced whatever advantages cloud servers are suppose to give them, would have to say yes.

[TheLastColossus]

Yes, I do.

[kingduqc]

If they cared about resolution and framerate they would play on pc..

[Clonetrooper1139]

Bingo!

[creatchee]

@MrSwankSinatra

"do people still care about this whole resolution debacle?"

Yes. People who aren't secure enough in their own purchases that they have to worry about what other people have bought and point out the negligible differences. See also: fanboys.

[Spotie]

...so if you're so secure, why would you even come to such an stifle?

Every such article drowns in people who say they don't care, which is ironic, to say the least. These are usually the same individuals who cared a great deal last generation, when the differences were even less significant. Before, they crowed about grass; now, a few hundred thousand pixels of difference doesn't matter. Now, a more stable framerate means nothing.

I'm perfectly secure in my purchase. To date, there's still just one game that remotely interests me on XB1, and that not enough to justify the console.

I care. I'm not the one trying to act like I don't.

That's you.

[DLConspiracy]

@spotie

Using a vocal minority of people last gen to give a pass to another vocal minority group of people doing the same thing this gen doesn't make it OK.

Both last and current are stupid. Can you tell me which users they are? Or what the percentage of those users that said that now that defend it this gen?

[NuggetsOfGod]

“We address every console, every platform as its own version,” he said. “So we try to stay away from the thing where you go for the least common denominator and everybody suffers for it. We want to make a good experience on all respective formats.” - dev

If this is true then the console versions can go to hell lol

Pc...

I never believe developers anymore.

Ps4 parity will hold the game back anyway.

1080p 30fps in 2015. Cheap ass sony..

Still let the best toaster win! 1080 30fps is such a win?

[Magicite]

Mostly those who have a choice or play superior version. I dont think Xbox only gamers have something to say about this.

[skratchy]

Let's say you owned both consoles, wouldn't you want the version that looks better? Iono, makes sense to me.

I remember television being 320 for most of my childhood, and even some of my teens. The jump to 480 was huge to me, then 720 when Comcast first introduced HD. Now we're mostly watching at 1080P. I wouldn't want to go back now, that's for sure.

[kstap33]

I'd want the system that has the most stable online network for this always online game. A few extra pixels isn't a good enough trade off. PS4 for single player only, if I had both.

[Spenok]

Not only that, but would it really be all that surprising at this point?

[Bathyj]

This will be, and SHOULD be the norm for this generation. Devs are pushing the graphics as much as they can while still maintaining 1080p which is the standard on PS4 and should always be as much as possible.

These devs are still trying to keep the same graphic fidelity in regards to effects, lighting etc on Xbone, but the cost is the resolution. I'm fine with that and I'm sure most Xbone fans are too. I'm sure they would rather resolution suffers over leaving effects out.

The difference is there, it's not imaginary, it's real. But it's not a huge deal either. It doesn't really matter, it's not a game breaker. Anyone using it for console war ammo, go ahead and ignore them if you like.

I only really care that my version is as good as they could make it and not made with the other version in mind. Not gimped. If devs are following the template I just laid out that should be true for both machines and everyone should be happy.

[Lennoxb63]

I keep hearing people talking about they don't care about the graphics. Then I'm like wait, that's not what we're discussing. We're discussing resolution. When did resolution become graphics.

Anyway, graphics are the same on both. The only disparity is the resolution. And I don't care much about the res. Still getting this on X1. Hell, I played GTAV on it with 3 less bushes and I was just fine.

[harrisk954]

It does matter because if you have both a PS4 and an XB1, why wouldn't you want the one that looked better?

[modelgod]

Because maybe you would want to take advantage of better online experience. There's other reasons that would contribute to buying a specific game on one system over another. A disagree for you as well buddy! !!

[slappy508]

@modelofgod Agreed about stable online which is why I'll be playing this on steam. Oh wait! you were talking about Xbox live, the service that you pay for yet still has gone done a couple of times last month?

[Neo_Zeed]

Of course they do. As long as people care about graphics then resolution-gate will continue to be an issue. It's a grave Microsoft has dug for itself. Everyone was always quick to point out games being better on 360 during the last gen. Now that the tables have turned we aren't supposed to care anymore and MS has removed resolution from their packaging. I'm sorry but it doesn't work like that. The truth hurts but it was always important and will continue to be important for at least 2 more generations.

[Helloween13]

well if we didn't care man we would still be playing snes games

[MrSwankSinatra]

That doesn't sound too bad since SNES games were of actual quality than the shitty games of today.

[angelusbrz]

Yes.

[Majin-vegeta]

Wait wasn't this one of the games listed in a rumor list that would run at a higher resolution on the PS4?? I member it had this game, The Witcher 3 and some other titles.

[EXVirtual]

Didn't know about that list. Can you give me the link?

[Majin-vegeta]

I couldn't find it the article :(.But I know well I read that list.

[XXXL]

No surprise

[Benjammin25]

The game runs better on superior hardware, who knew? In other news, fire hot.

[modelgod]

Lol!! Benjammin. Lmao!!!

[GokuSolosAll]

I thought this was a given?

[christocolus]

Tidux? lol. Anyways my friends and i are totally hyped for this game and i really hope it turns out great.Don't want it having the same issues which plagued assasins creed unity at launch.Ubi take note and as long as every consoles unique features are used then it most likely will turn out great irrespective of platform. Hope we see some sort of demo at GDC.

[Hibsboy85]

Isnt this and the pc version being built based on dx12 version

[jonivtec]

2015...1080p is the norm.End of discussion.The fact that they release new console 8 years after the last generation and they cant release game at 1080p is completly ridiculous.I play PC even if in the long run pc is more expensive at least i play game the way they should.

[mysteryraz11]

noone cares what you play and I knew this article would have pc fanboys in it, gotta justify spending all that money on your pc just so you can brag but only wanna beg and play console ports, noone cares if you can build a pc stronger then a console, well noone but you no life pc wierdos

[jonivtec]

You probably write this comment with your PC??lol anyway..everybody have opinions this is why comment exist:P

[ShottyGibs]

Ahhh, I think lot's of people care. Considering the PC gaming industry is dwarfing both consoles put together.
So many new people have picked up gaming PC's due to this gen being such a let down.

[Tsubasa-Oozora]

Well there goes the dx12 wonder sauce!Just like Phil said, dx12 will help developers create things EASIER, its not goin to turn it into a 1080 60fps super machine. The hardware is not going to change.

Developer:
We address every console, every platform as its own version,” he said.

“So we try to stay away from the thing where you go for the least common denominator and everybody suffers for it. We want to make a good experience on all respective formats.”

YES YES YES!!

[Majin-vegeta]

We address every console, every platform as its own version,” he said.

“So we try to stay away from the thing where you go for the least common denominator and everybody suffers for it. We want to make a good experience on all respective formats.”

YES YES YES!!

Sounds like they learned their lesson from all the flak they got from AC:U

[halfblackcanadian]

You're assuming this game was built with full DX12 (which it couldn't have been based on development time and scheduled release date).

I'm not saying DX12 is the answer (especially for cross-platform 3rd party games) but don't bring into the conversation a topic that has nothing to do with the case at hand. If they coded it and it runs better on PS4 with the code logic they used, then so it goes.

[Tsubasa-Oozora]

"I'm not saying DX12 is the answer (especially for cross-platform 3rd party games"

Why ESPECIALLY for 3rd party games? Can you elaborate? How do you even use DX12 on a different platform like the Wii or PS4?

Do you even know what DirectX12 is??
Each platform uses it's own API, and the DX12 benefits the PC more than anything else.

[halfblackcanadian]

@WP-Rasp

First, you don't use DX12 on competing platforms, that's the point. That's why especially 3rd party - they can't rely on DX12 coding if the game has to run on a console that doesn't use a similar coding logic. Middleware will help with that (Unreal 4, Unity) where general coding could be done for both (all three) with features toggled on or off for whatever console can handle it. Arguably that's what's been happening so far with games of higher resolution or framerate on PS4. Coding is done to reach an acceptable minimum experience and then optimization happens based on capabilities of the hardware and tools provided. If something is programmed for DDR5, which handles larger packets better, then porting it to DDR3 means either recoding to work with smaller packets at a faster rate or cutting down the packet size by reducing resolution or cutting frames rate in half. It all depends other lead console. Similar issues happened when 360 was the lead and PS3 had to get ports. The easier thing is to not optimize to strengths but to scale down until it work within reason.

DX12 is software to utilize hardware to it's maximum potential (the gal of any API really). DX12 will benefit PC and Xbox One in the same ways if you're talking about existing hardware. Current/pre-Mantle or DX12 GPUs on PC have long had multiple cores gone unused. So did multi-core CPUs. These new APIs are built in a manner that allows all CPU cores to talk to all GPU cores consecutively instead of concurrently. Its the difference of having 8 courses of a meal served to you one at a time or having them all on the table at once. Ultimately all of it was there, you just previously had to wait to finish one course (process) before you could move onto the next. It can take eating hardware and maximize its potential. Newer GPUs will use it better, obviously, but keep in mind that the Xbox team knew what they were doing and some of what you'll see in GPUs built for DX12 in the coming months already exists within the Xbox One. It will benefit PC more only in the fact that hardware will be built to maximize the software tools as opposed to software maximizing current hardware.

Sony will have some kind of answer to DX12 for sure, but as a software company MS likely had a better idea of what was coming than Sony and therefore built a system to take advantage of that. Sony build some great hardware and will make it more efficient, but they don't always anticipate software the way MS does (remember the whole cross-chat issue PS3 had because the hardware wasn't built for the proper software considerations.

[beerzombie]

This game has been in development before dx12

[Sevir]

In other news the grass is green, the sky is blue and it's snowing in New York somewhere!

[bananaboats]

But can we discuss more important matters? like the story, UI, PvP, amount of content at launch? The resolution argument is dead. we all know the outcome, if all you worry about is higher resolution then you are just a sad gamer.

[SilentNegotiator]

Sure we can...in articles actually related to those things. No need to come into articles about resolution complaining about discussion about resolution.

[bananaboats]

because all there is are article about resolution, how often are there articles about other things. damn near never. All these articles do is make everyone argue like little school children.

[slappy508]

yeah resolution is totally irrelevant to me which is why I still play with my psone at 240p and didnt bother with ps3 ps4 and PC /s

[bananaboats]

yet ps1 had some of the most memorable games ever. But wait.....we didnt have 1080p to enjoy those games, ZOMG!!! how it is ever so possible that the greatest games came out of the gen!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Resolution arguments are the most idiotic.

[Software_Lover]

Will probably buy it for PC or Xbox One for the community that I normally play with. Right now it's looking like PC, and hopefully it is one of those crossplay games with Xbox achievements.

Edit: Oh Gawd please don't let this be tied to U-play. I can't get into one of my Splinter Cell games because of it.

[avengers1978]

Sorry man, but I'm almost certain it will be tied to Uplay, in some way.

[Qrphe]

You know very well U-play will be all over this lol

[ScorpiusX]

Still have my copy Pre-ordered for Xbox one , this changes nothing.
Am committed to my preferred console, but thank you for this useless information.

[OUROSMAG]

The irony of your post.... is too much.

[Grave]

Wouldn't be surprised. It definitely a trend:
http://www.ign.com/wikis/xb...

[Rask]

Who cares?

[hello12]

Of course it matters the Sony PS4 advantage is real the x box 1 doesn't hit 1080P most of the time. What people fail to get though is graphics is not that same thing as resolution! Devs are forever pointing this out to fans on websites and forums.

Resolution is the image been much clearer and sharper easier to see the graphics i guess and it does require extra power. But the x box 1 has the exact same graphics as the PS4 but the image you see is just not as clear.

People on the Playstation side seem to have this odd believe better resolution completely changes the graphics for the PS4 version. Do you watch the videos of games the gameplay and the same scenery is present on both consoles.

The recent Evolve game the x box 1 has better AF and shadows but you don't see x box fans bringing this up to downplay the PS4 at every turn.

The resolution issue is overblown and to be honest its seem the x box 1 needs specific coding due to current API in the x box 1 to hit 1080p.

dx12 will help with that and Division is a long way off yet to claim it will be 900p on x box 1 even if it is so what just enjoy the game on the platform of your choice.

TIDUX is guessing based on what we have seen so far hes not a true insider,

[Jumper09]

Agree...

People bragging about the Resolution difference, but at the end the games so far still looked the same.

[Tsubasa-Oozora]

"and to be honest its seem the x box 1 needs specific coding due to current API in the x box 1 to hit 1080p."

You know right away when someone doesn't know what they are talking about when they say "to be honest".

You actually make me laugh, xbox needs "specific coding" to hit 1080p? So other platforms like the PC and ps4 don't need "specific coding" to hit 1080p? I guess they do it with magic! LMAO just stop dude..

[Nekroo91]

"PS4 owners enjoy a very clean, native 1080p presentation, boasting few jaggies and edge artefacts outside of scenery heavy on sub-pixel detail, while the Xbox One game is based on a 900p framebuffer. For the most part the sub-1080p image works well on Microsoft's console, with the resolution difference appearing fairly subtle in the dark, low contrast environments - although the final image doesn't look quite as refined as the PS4 version. Anti-aliasing is provided by SMAA on both consoles "

"buffers, shaders, and shadow quality - are a match between both consoles."

What were you saying about envolve? Your opinion isnt a fact !!!

https://www.youtube.com/wat... btw the drop till 20fps on xbox really shows the power ahahha

[srd4484]

HA. Are you saying the PS4 displays all shadows after viewing the DF comparision? And how there's no AF. There's a whole thread about that on neogaf.
The power of the PS4 minus the shadows and AF!
Do more research next time.

[parentsbasement]

If it's single player , i'll insert it in PS4.....if its got multiplayer or co-op , i'll let the x1 do it....same as last gen with the ps3 and 360....old habits I guess....

[srd4484]

Lol not sure why the disagrees. Are people hating that YOU don't care about graphics but instead care about which system will give YOU a better playing experience?
Wow these people here are sinking to an all time low. Everyday it seems.

[parentsbasement]

yeah , im just stating how we've been doing it here for the past however many years (me and my now 12 year old)......he absolutely HATED the ps3 as everytime would go to use it there would be some massive-cantdoanythingelse update awaiting.....but he couldn't deny the awesomeness of LBP and Kratos and Uncharted....so we used it for that ...xbox for everything else....not saying its right or wrong , just that it is here.....in our opinion (the ONLY one that matters here) the PS (3 and now 4 ) is just , "bland" , when it comes to anything online (friends , messages , party chat and so forth) , and especially the os interface ....just like xbox better.....none of that is gona keep me from playing ps exclusives though.....

[Jumper09]

People should stop reading Tidux twitter. I thought his bullshit wouldnt create more news.

And btw PS4 is not the lead Platform for The Division.

[SonyOnly4]

It will if that check don't clear.

[Predaking77]

Evolve, The Witcher, the devision and many others run better on PS4. This is not something new.

What is interesting here is that all these advantages mattered last gen and now that the xbox One is the inferior console, many people wants to prevent that it doesn't matter anymore.

Well, let me tell you, it matters and it has always mattered.

[Software_Lover]

There were no advantages last gen. Both put out great games.

[Artemidorus]

1080p should be the norm for consoles.

[Breakman92]

The gaming community is cancerous, look at this stupid site, full of playstation fanboys defending their console like it's their life. Just play your console and stop arguing about things like resolution. Pathetic kids.

[quenomamen]

I know, it's like every time I turn around there is some article on N4G telling me how SONY is working on an update that's gonna squeeze another 5% more juice out of it. I wish they would stop making excuses for it.

[headblackman]

(PLEASE PAY ATTENTION!!! THIS IS A RUMOR)

but im sooooo bored with this resolution argument. i can't stress this enough (YOU DON'T PLAY RESOLUTION! YOU PLAY GAMES!)

if the game looks good to you, plays good to you, and is actually fun to you, then buy it! play it! and have fun with it!

NUFF SAID!!!

[Toman85]

But it did matter when Xbox 360 won 90% of the resolution and framerate over PS3 huh?
This was the case 8 years in a row.
But now when tables are turned it don't matter anymore.

[quenomamen]

I assume then you play games on a 19" 100lb CRT Color TV from 1990, because you sure don't care about resolution.

[Saijahn]

Hey that's fine with me, now just make sure The X1 version can have dedicated servers using MS' massive cloud server base, and make sure you can play cross platform with PC now that that's possible with X1 and PC.

The dev said they focused on each version individually so let's not make any excuses as to why the X1 can't have dedicated servers.

[Majin-vegeta]

so let's not make any excuses as to why the X1 can't have dedicated servers.

Oh I don't know maybe cuz Ubi doesn't want to let another company handle their online for one of their titles.....

[Saijahn]

If I recall correctly, the whole point of MS offering their cloud servers was for developers to use them as they see fit for their game, like Respawn did with Titanfall. So there's no excuse as to why the PC and X1 version of The Division shouldn't have dedicated servers for those platforms.

[Dannylew]

Naaaaaaaa!!! :|...

but the powwwa of dx12 ?!!?!?!??!!.....

[thexmanone]

You are so funny i just could not help myself from clicking that Troll button.

[srd4484]

The big question is will it have shadows and AF? It may be 1080p but there's something wrong when you see the XB1 version have shadows and better AF than the PS4 version.
Since the XB1 has a great scaler, 900p isn't much of a downgrade esp. when you can add so much more to the game. Sony wanting 1080p is great and all but it takes hits in other places. As seen with most recent Evolve. Less shadows and no AF.

[Metfanant]

almost all PS4 games have AF, and generally better shadows than Xbone multiplats...out of the hundreds of games available there are about 8 games that have no AF (or lower AF) on the PS4...lets slow our roll there...a Sony ICE Team member has gone on record that the PS4 supports 16x AF just fine...there is much more likely some sort of bug or glitch in the implementation process on the PS4 then any sort of hardware deficiency...the games like Evolve that are showing this are not even bleeding edge when it comes to graphics...

youll notice on the bigger, more graphically intense titles the PS4 has AF equal to the Xbone...for example...Call of Duty which we all know is marketed as an Xbox title...AF is there...

Also, for the record...the Xbone and PS4 have the exact same scaler...

[imt558]

PS4 and Xbone use the same scaler from AMD, dude.

Quote :

HA. Are you saying the PS4 displays all shadows after viewing the DF comparision? And how there's no AF. There's a whole thread about that on neogaf.
The power of the PS4 minus the shadows and AF!
Do more research next time.

Even the PC version has less shadows, man. Btw. what developer said ( He knows better than you after all - from that AF thread on GAF ) :

"Newsflash for neogaf posters. Artists are the ones that typically drive texture settings per platform, however some engine ports are shit."

[Relientk77]

Wouldn't be surprised

[DarXyde]

While this is possible , Tidux is not Shinobi, who has a far more solid track record than Tidux.

Grain of salt. Now and always.

[UltraAtomic]

XD we all seen the x1 version of the division. Fanboys stop over hyping your system!!

[Dark_matter]

Aaww dammit and here's me thinking the xb1 version is going to have more snowflakes /:s

[qwerty676]

here we go again

the same drivel over and over

im outta here, you guys have fun.

[underwaves75]

look, it's not the systems capabilities. Yes the Xbox eram wasn't a great choice because it's a little more inconvenient to develop for. But Bungie pulled it off, and so did Techland among others. It's not the system, it falls squarely on the devs shoulders.

[AutoCad]

So this means the xb1 version gonna run smoother right?

[dRanzer]

Like dying light and evolve? and many great games?
why pepole saying that xbox one runs games smoother?becouse the low res? Im sorry but this is BS

[hiawa23]

Got both consoles will probably go with the X1 version as I do with mostly all the multiplats. I have found that I get the same experience with the X1 version of multiplats, as I prefer gaming on that platform compared to the PS4 and the slight res difference as my eyes can tell doesn't make the game any better so I will be fine with that version. Bought the PS4 for it's exclusives.

[Clonetrooper1139]

"But according to N4G, it costs £2k just to build a decent rig."

It is well established that N4G are not the most intelligent lot. They probably would spend 2 grand and get the same results as someone who KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING and would spend over a grand less.

That being said. . .you want to really experience this game, get it on PC. I am not going to get The Division on console. Why? If you have a PC that can run it, get it for the truly superior platform. I am dubious if the console crowd will even support this game. We'll see.

[hallsguitar]

Why does anyone care..

[Macdaddy71]

I would bet $100 that that you want be able to tell a difference in the two games, n if ps4 gets a review of 80 x1 will get 80 plus, we all know that the games that ran higher on ps4 already lag bad...

[psychosmurf101]

I am an xbox fan boy. Since i was 6 years old playing halo for the first time I've watched gameplay evolve and consoles alike. That being said, I read tech news, gaming news, console news, every single day. I have an xbox one. I know the ps4 is more powerful. There is insurmountable evidence that it just performs better, But does that really matter? If you like the ps4 buy a ps4. If you like an xbox buy an xbox. When i watch gameplay video comparisons of games I somehow always like the way the xbox one looks over the ps4. Same build, same designs, same polygons, SAME GAMEPLAY yet still I just like the way the xbox one looks. If you like the way the ps4 looks then get a ps4. What really matters is is the game good? Oh it is? Great play the game, be happy, bring the next one on. We are so blinded by a resolution difference that we can't see microtransactions destroying our games. Look at the real problem. Because its already here.

[YodaCracker]

Rumor: Virtually no one will notice the difference

[Metfanant]

this is not a shocker...one console has better hardware...

[3ndulg3]

Well I'm very happy with my Xbox one purchase regardless of it's inability to reach 1080p ATM, but guess what it will in the near future.And one more thing I can careless if the PlayStation is more powerful,if that was the case I would have one.To me the one is more unique to me and more next gen.

[3ndulg3]

I'm very sick and tired of relentless PlayStation fanboys attacking everything Xbox negative and positive the zombies are full in effect.

[icerob]

Resolution is of course great.. but what we really need is better and more steady framerate, les online lag, instant on, little to no loading times, free to share games on same local network, instant switching between games, perfect voice control, play own mp3 during gameplay, simpler user interface..
MORE games.. Why have I been waiting for YEARS for a new Star Wars game for instance??

[ghostrider32]

And if it's not, I expect a riot more violent than California could ever pull off. /s

[Neo_Zeed]

As it should be if developers aren't being lazy.

[Necrom452]

No way wen comes to ubisoft we hair the same thing every mouth to watchdog to assassin creed unity to game is ganabe 900

[Flames76]

I doubt that after what we have seen since 2014.With most of the multiplatform games running much smoother on the XOne and looking a little better in visuals also.As the article says its a rumor nothing more

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

Standard this gen, not a shocker. The impressive thing would be if Ubisoft don't f**k this game up!

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Well first give me a release date... once I know that I will worry about the other details of a game. Then again its Ubisoft so should we take anything as concrete until its actually out?

[WizzroSupreme]

Sure, but will it run better than Xbox One? GPU versus CPU makes the difference for frame-rate in open-world games and that's more important to me.

[Elda]

Of course it is.

[Codewow]

I am confirmed buying this for PC either way. This Engine needs to be battle tested in ultimate detail. I love my Xbox One, but the engine needs a true work out.

[Biohazard8860]

Jeez who the F#ck cares.

[Adolph Fitler]

I like it when a developer puts the effort in, to optimize games, for the optimum platforms... Whether pc, PS4 or XBOne....if there are areas that can be optimized to take advantage of better/different hardware, it is always awesome to see a developer, not be a completely lazy, hack & just run EVERYTHING the same. If PC has power advantages, then use the sh1t out of them, & make it look & run as beautiful as possible... & that should go down the line, where any hardware has an edge, developers should be pushing there utmost, to take it to the edge, & deliver us THE BEST they can possibly achieve.

This is something that benefits ALL gamers, in the long run,.....& that is a fact, only brand name branded cattle, named fanboys would dare arguing.

I'll be getting this game on PS4, if the game actually turns out good...

[VVgamer4lifeVV]

ubisoft should change their name to ubishiit

[VP37]

First of all, I don't think you need to be an "Insider" to make the claim that Tidux made. I mean with the trend we've seen so far this generation, I don't think it was too much of a stretch to make that call.

Secondly, Tidux was banned from everyone's favorite Sony propaganda site "NeoGaf" for spreading false information, so take that for what it's worth.

My guess is that The Division will be 1080p on PS4 & 900p on XB1, but Dat' 1080p will come at a cost for the PS4 version, just as it has with every other 1080p PS4 title. How many PS4 titles with no Anisotropic Filtering are we up to now? 6 or 7?

Let's look at the latest comparison, Evolve.(1080p on PS4 /900p on XB1)PS4; No AF, Streaming Issues, Missing Shadows. XB1; Good AF, Smooth Streaming, Shadows Included, Better Texture Detail.

If I have to give-up all of that, just for a slightly higher resolution, no thanks. I'll take The Division at 900p with better processing effects and details...Thank you.

Oh, and before you comment, make certain to do some research and understand that in video game development, a game can have better effects & texture at 900p vs. 1080p. It's true!
