Firewatch PS4 Confirmed To Run At 1080p Resolution, Currently No Plans For An Xbox One Version

Campo Santo's Sean Vanaman does want as many people to play it as possible however.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

I'll be one of those who will play this. Looks really interesting!

[gameseveryday]

One of the games that I am "really" looking forward to. Can't wait to explore and discover and make choices and see how it affects the outcome.

[thekhurg]

Didn't care about this game at all until the most recent demo, now I'm beyond pumped for the release.

[bouzebbal]

looks on fire!!

[RosweeSon]

Yep same here can't wait.

[showtimefolks]

looks very interesting. I like the art style and how you can have different options while talking to in game npc's

i also hope this comes to xbox one so more gamers get to enjoy a awesome game

it being exclusive won't give me extra satisfaction. i rather awesome games be played by as many gamers as possible

[XanderZane]

The vocal seems to be the best part of this game. If it's using the Unity Engine I don't have high hopes for it. There's really no reason this game shouldn't be on the XB1 as well. If they can make it for PC, Mac & Linux it can easily be put on the XB1.

[NovaCorps]

xbox dont sell enough so stop been in every single article that say no xbox version...devs go where the money is..and thats playstation deal with that already

[Helden]

I like the art direction but let's be honest this game is technically poor, no surprise he can run at 1080p

[akurtz]

could be alot more going on than shiny graphics.

[MegaRay]

It would be funny if "he" couldn't run at 1080p.

[A-stil_Tv]

Lmao I see wat u did there

[Helden]

"It" can run at 1080p lol sorry about that.
In my mother tongue we say "he" for a game, my bad.
But I maintain this game is not technically impressive by any means.

[RosweeSon]

Technically poor means something along the lines of THPS5 glitched broken botched mess of a game that is barely playable... This seems anything but, I appreciate its not a AAA release but still looks pretty smart.

[pedrof93]

Helden, where are you from ? (In my mother tongue there's no "it" either, just wondering if it's the same as yours)

[jwillj2k4]

A games explosion is about to occur on the PS4. Stores will have shrink their Xbox sections to half an isle, sharing the other half with the Wii u. By the end of 2016 you'll start to see tumble weeds in the Xbox section.

[2pacalypsenow]

Makes me sad going to Gamestop and I see a huge banner about how you can play Xbox 360 games on the 1 right above the Ps4 section.

[b3ast]

Yeah is gamestop owned my MS or something? I don't go there any more when I wanted my ps4 he tried so hard to get me to choose the 1 instead.

[ScorpiusX]

Congrats to them & luck, guess i will wait for the Xbox version , but if it fails to show good luck to them.

[gamertk421]

Hope this eventually gets to Xbox.

[Max-Zorin]

Wow, you got multiple disagrees for hoping the game make it to Xbox? Smh, the gaming community ain't shit.

[Pongwater]

N4G isn't "the gaming community".

[FN4GM]

@ Hazardman79

Yeah as if its any different then a Playstation gamers life on N4G.

[LexHazard79]

Firewatch? To be honest never heard of the game til now, so personally no big deal if not on Xbox One.

Still I'm sure there are probably alot of Xbox gamers that want to play it. In future with added bonus for you guys.

[Tsunade]

That is why a lot of developers skip the x1. Xbox community doesn't support these games and don't care about it.

[ScorpiusX]

They put it on my system of choice i will buy it , but am not buying the other plats to buy their game.

[Kiwi66]

Kind of hard to support a game if you haven't heard about it before and how many from the ps community will support it given how there would be many who know nothing about the game

[_-EDMIX-_]

@Cast- So you don't own a PC either? Bud its not really their lost as much as its yours.

They are releasing on both PC and PS4, 2 very high install bases.

I feel the most hardcore games should always have a setup up that is, handheld, PC, console.

I don't really know much 1 console gamers that don't own PC or Handheld etc. Most times with my friends its one or the other, they might own console and handheld, I have a friend that only games on PC and handheld etc, but thinking about it, I don't have many that I can think of right now that merely just own a console and nothing more.

Thats legit your loss, they can't afford to just make 5 versions or something, some teams just don't have such funding.

[swordmasterman]

Was one of the Best Looking games on Sony's E3, the Voice Acting is pretty good.

[Christopher]

This should definitely make its way to XBO. This is a game I'm certain gamers on every platform would enjoy to play.

[Rhezin]

Yeah and I'm certain Cuphead, and Below are examples of how gamers on every platform would enjoy them. ( just my opinion, those game on X1 look incredible)

[WeAreLegion]

Agreed. I have all the platforms, but I'd love to see Firewatch on XBO and Cuphead on PS4.

[2pacalypsenow]

Then you buy the platform the game is available on to play it.

[Christopher]

I'm of the full mind that what games can go to all platforms should eventually make it there.

[2pacalypsenow]

Im of the business mind where exclusives sell consoles and are vital to a platform.

[_-EDMIX-_]

lol not really. I urge many gamers to look it up. Most consoles sell due to 3rd party titles, not exclusives, exclusives in fact get some of the lowest sales on platforms.

Though I agree they have their place in selling platforms, not with titles like Firewatch, 3 platforms or 4 platforms releasing a game is NOT THE NORM, it cost LOTS of money and some just can't afford to just bring games on 4 platforms, they are small teams and don't have the funds to really do such things, so this game only coming to PC and PS4, may just be due to them not having the funds for Wii U or XONE currently if at all.

So some titles are not "exclusive" to sell the platform, but based on they don't have the funds to release on 4 platforms or something, some are by default exclusive and not due to Sony or MS etc, just the current situation of the market.

@Chris- in a wonderful world they can, but we have a thing called money lolz. It cost money to port and some teams don't have the funds to make games on all platforms, even the top AAA 3rd party teams don't make games on ALL platforms just because, consider how many are skipping Wii U EVEN WITH PS3 and 360 versions of some games.

Some times the money just doesn't add up bud, its not a factor of "should" or this strange moral understanding, its business.

Will it make money?

Can we afford it? That is what publishers are thinking, consider small developers most times don't even get a real choice in that.

Stop expecting small teams to be like EA or Ubisoft or something, consider even those publishers don't make games on platforms that don't do well, so why expect a smaller team to based on this concept of "should"? lol

Make it add up and then we'll talk.

[deafdani]

Yeah, no. Not all of us have the money, or the time, or just the plain desire, to justify multiple game consoles.

[Rhezin]

I'm definitely drawn to this game. The mystery of it is appealing. I hope it turns out to have a dark plot.

[BG11579]

What would make this game interesting for the PS4 is if the game is PVR compatible in a good way.
If it is, it may be the first VR seller for consoles.

[chaosx]

Why isn’t it coming to Xbox One? Well, there isn’t a specific reason. Vanaman said, “Not really – we’re just a small studio and can only do so much.”

Firewatch is out on February 9th for PS4, PC, Mac OS X and Linux.

Small company = releases on every other platform. lmfao

[Tsunade]

I definitely want to play this game. 2016 is going to be awesome.

[Psychotica]

Looks fun though I will get it for my PC instead of my PS4

[solar]

"Firewatch PS4 Confirmed To Run At 1080p Resolution"

that is your console generation folks. where 1080p HAS to be confirmed, it isnt the norm. Sony lied, this isnt a "Supercharged PC"

[BrettAwesome]

You're right! Ps4 is pure budget hardware except for the GDDR5, but 1080 is still the norm though. Granted not all AAA titles are 1080p, but the vast majority is. And if they aint, just blame it on console parity :-D

[nitus10]

Since the majority of HDTV's can display 1080p it is no surprise that this current generation consoles would support up to that resolution.

4K or UHDTV's are fairly new and will most likely be superseded by 8K when they become available this year, however it won't be until the next console generation that higher resolution support becomes available.

[Pongwater]

"that is your console generation folks. where 1080p HAS to be confirmed…"

Except... it doesn't have to be confirmed. It's simply news, just like it was last generation, and the generation before that when the advantages of the XBox version over the PS2 version were reported, and the generation before that when a game came to PS1 after being on the Saturn. These stories are nothing new.

[DivineAssault]

This isnt the first and wont be the last game exclusive to PS4.. Its the dominant console so theres going to be plenty more in the future

[Kiwi66]

So the fact that its a small studio may have something to do with it not coming to xb1, yet

[-Gespenst-]

Not exclusive. Coming to PC too.

[DivineAssault]

Your right.. Console wise exclusive.. Indie devs flock to both PC & PS4 for consoles..

[WilliamSheridan]

Sony's exclusives are always these little arcade games. Sometimes a hit sneaks through, but usually they are $10 flops...

[DrumBeat]

You have no idea what you're talking about. This isn't an arcade game in the slightest.

The games that come to PC/PS4 are very often hits. Soma was an absolute gem.

[DigitalRaptor]

William..... I'll guide you out of your chamber of ignorance.

1) Go to YouTube
2) Search for 'Firewatch gameplay'
3) Hit the first one you find
4) Watch
5) Learn

[Pongwater]

Uninformed fanboys are always easy to spot.

[FN4GM]

You friends with a mod William? if I said something like that about xbox I'd get a ban for sure, wonder why you get away with it. Anyway you're wrong.

[sullynathan]

More importantly, why isn't a game like this running at 60 fps? By their comments about action game, it seems either the devs weren't trying at all to get this at 60fps,they're lazy or the PS4 can't handle 60 fps for a game like this which is bogus.

At least it is coming mac, which is a good thing.

[_-EDMIX-_]

its not a performance heavy game, maybe they want to focus processing power on effects vs frame rate. The frame rate doesn't make or break this game, thus it likely isn't a factor for the team to focus on, this isn't an arena shooter or MP title etc, the team may have not seen a reason for such a focus.

60fps is developer dependent, being able to run 60fps doesn't mean the team will have it run that.

[Angel911]

Looks interesting but iam not into these walking Simulators...Tried Gone Home, Everyone gone to Rapture and Soma an got bored coz you just walk around reading text or hacking computers...I hate such games.

And this will come to Xbox after few months of release..It's not owned by Sony and as far as parity clause is concerned then it's nothing major, they just have to give Xbox version something new game like extra mission or anything which is not on PS4 and they will be fine..Rocket league is coming to Xbox with exclusive Halo car nothing else..lol

[assdan]

I'm really excited to see some reviews for this. I'm really interested, but not sure how good it will be.

[EyeAmTJ]

don't care about this nor No Mans Trash

[Angel911]

Same here no interest in No man's Trash & Scamenue 3.

Looking forward to Zero Dawn and Last Guardian more

[MilkMan]

I usually dont go for game like this, but for some reason it looks interesting. I think Ill give this a try when it comes out.

[-Gespenst-]

This and The Witness are going to be day-1ers for me. Also Reset and Routine if they come out this year, and maybe The Solus Project and No Man's Sky. Also Everybody's Gone to the Rapture if the rumors of it coming to Steam are true.
