Spencer Comments On Lack of 1080p Games on Xbox One, Hints Sakaguchi RPG, No Big Announcement At GDC

Spencer talked about amount of 900p games due to lack of time to optimize to 1080p, hinted Sakaguchi RPG announcement on Feb 25 and more.

[pedrof93]

He gave a really odd answer about the 1080p question didn't he ?

[GribbleGrunger]

Yes he did. It sounds like optimisation won't ever solve the problem and that people are going to have to accept the disparity between the consoles:

Spencer was also asked to comment: "Is the amount of 900p games due to lack of time to optimize to 1080?"

To this he replied: "NO, I think you'll find over this generation games will use a variety of rez and framerates."

In other words it's the technology not the fact it hasn't been optimised. Spencer's words, not mine.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I think that is a safe answer for them right now. No way can they promise all Xbox One games will be 1080p 60fps given: 1) the track record so far 2) If he does say its optimization issues and then a dev comes out sub its like they are saying its the devs fault not the hardware which they don't want to to do to partners. 3) If he says that and games come out later that are sub many will run around saying they are lying.

This was about as honest an answer he can give regarding the resolution/frame rate for the Xbox One.

[Gazondaily]

Indeed. It is the hardware. I wonder how MS will fight back against the PS4 with this mind?

There is only one way. Going toe to toe with Sony in the battle of exclusives. This gen is going to be VERY interesting.

[GribbleGrunger]

@Septic: By offering fantastic 1st party games and demonstrating that resolution alone isn't the reason a game can be great. This is why I think they should come clean about the 50% difference, bite the bullet and 'show' not 'tell'. That's the only way they'll ever get any credibility back.

Perhaps then sites like Misterxmedia will disappear and so stop setting X1 owners up for disappointments in the future.

[Gazondaily]

@Gribble

I agree. Whilst I don't pay any mind to likes of Misterx or even supposed insiders like Thuway and CBOAT, I think MS need swallow their pride and be forthcoming.

This year's E3 will speak volumes and will let gamers know MS' intent for thr rest of this generation. They have an uphill task ahead of them but I believe they can deliver.

I wish them luck, for the sakes of us gamers. They sure as hell are gonna need it.

[maniacmayhem]

@Gribble

"This is why I think they should come clean about the 50% difference,"

C'mon Gribble, what company admits their shortcomings in relation to the competition. We have heard from many devs that it is possible to have parity for X1 and PS4 it's just that X1 architecture is a pain in the a$$ to make it so.

There has been no credibility lost, especially since all the multiplat games play the EXACT same way on each system.

"By offering fantastic 1st party games and demonstrating that resolution alone isn't the reason a game can be great."

This is so true for each company. So much focus has been put on res and framerate that it's starting to overshadow the actual games.

[Angainor7]

"NO, I think you'll find over this generation games will use a variety of rez and framerates."

He is not talking ''games in general'' on both Xbox One and PS4. Regardless if PS4 will have much more games running at 1080p/60fps.

[MightyNoX]

Gribble, you're on NeoGAF. Can you confirm if this Senjutsu in the article is the same Senjutsu there?

[GribbleGrunger]

@MightyNoX: I honestly couldn't tell you. There are thousands of user on Gaf and whilst I do go there, I don't frequent the site often enough to know all of the major posters.

@maniacmayhem: It's not a matter of them stating they're the weakest console, it's just a matter of them coming clean and acknowledging that Sony has an advantage in power. Talk of 'cloud', 'secret source', 'stacked chipsets' and '8% freed resources' are only giving their fans a sense of false hope. Tell it how it is and make the games. It's as simple as that.

[KingDadXVI]

"This is why I think they should come clean about the 50% difference"

Go get your computer engineering degree and come back and say that. The difference is far less than you think which is why they will not admit it.

You simply cannot just compare GPU to GPU or memory to memory or CPU to CPU. There are different buses, clock speeds, discrete processors, etc.

Hell the WiiU can display at 1080p. What he says means that the developers will chose which things to focus on in the games. Resolution will be one item amongst many others. Developers with the PS4 will face the same choices.

A good example is whether you decrease polygon count in order to have a higher resolution. Which has the most impact on the picture you see? Ryse looks far better at 900p with its polygon count than it would have at 1080p with 30% less polygons.

If anyone wants full effects with 1080p at 60fps you should not buy either console as it will not happen. You should be getting a $2500 gaming pc.

Will the PS4 always have a power advantage? Yes it will but not the 50% baby blanket that many are towing around to sooth themselves with.

Either way MS is off to a great start in the games department.

[FamilyGuy]

"Yes he did. It sounds like optimization won't ever solve the problem and that people are going to have to accept the disparity between the consoles: "

I'm surprised he answered it like that, they gave up on the lie it would seem.

[DigitalRaptor]

@ ManiacMayhem

Gribble is right, not just because continued competitive spin (AKA manipulation) is wrong, but because one of the Xbox execs went on to NeoGaf and lied to people in one of the most desperate attempts to sell their console to hardcore, discerning gamers, I've ever seen. They've been misleading their consumers about the capabilities of their console from the day they knew Sony had the jump on them.

Just read the embarrassment. http://m.neogaf.com/showpos...

He hasn't come back and apologised, or even acknowledged the lies. It's weak that there are no consequences to that.
--------

@ KingDadXVI

Read those statements from Penello.

Look at the differences between the two next-gen versions of Ground Zeroes. Kojima is a guy who will look to get the most out of the consoles he develops for. That is why the last-gen versions still look so damn good. But the PS4 version is outputting a 50% higher pixel density and additional affects that are exclusive to the PS4 version, because it can afford to.

Penello claimed that there was no way they'd let Sony get a 30%+ advantage, but it's clear that the difference is higher than 30%, and 50% is probably closer to the truth.

You don't just design a console like this and expect to match a console that was designed first and foremost as a powerful gaming console: http://www.gengame.net/2013... And that's why the dishonesty needs to cease, and Microsoft just stop the damn smoke and mirrors charades that we have come to expect from them.

[abzdine]

@Septic

they cannot fight against Sony's 1st party games no matter what they come up with. they will for sure make some great games but overall Sony studios are impossible to top.

[maniacmayhem]

@Gribble
You are being very unrealistic. You really expect MS to say or come clean:

"and acknowledging that Sony has an advantage in power."

That is beyond absurd. That's like asking Pepsi to acknowledge that Coke tastes better (purely opinionated but you get the picture).

Sites like Mistermedia wouldn't stop in fact more Sony troll sites would flourish if MS ever said anything remotely as you suggested to the public. Hell, we can just see a small example on this very site from the trolls and sony fanboys.

@Digital
It has already been said and proven that the Xbox One can do everything the PS4 can. It is already established from devs that the reason there's no graphics parity is because of the X1's architecture.

Both consoles have just taken off from the starting line. So who knows, maybe devs will take advantage and start doing what Xbox execs said they could do with the X1.

But right now each dev is rushing their games out to the market for the new systems. Devs at this moment do not have time to spend making the X1 up to snuff. The same was done for the PS3 which I know you remember. But in time the multiplats for PS3 and 360 were identical.

[UltimateMaster]

At least he's honest. Got to have at least one of them on the team.

[cozomel]

@maniacmayhem

But youre a troll and a fanboy, so stop calling others fanboy. Also, its been showned that the XO cannot graphically match the PS4. If you werent such a fanboy you'd see that. And anybody complaining that this site or the internet is nothing but Sony fanboys, are just fanboys themselves. Im tired of hearing your nonsense

[dantesparda]

@maniac

"It has already been said and proven that the Xbox One can do everything the PS4 can"

One word: Delusional!!!

Freaking fanboys and their stupid shizz

[maniacmayhem]

@ dantesparda and cozomel

Yup, you caught me red handed. The curtain has been pulled and it is I who am the fanzboy!

I apologize to everyone for pretending to be this "sort of" non-biased gamer who tried to discuss games and the gaming industry on this website.

Clearly I was delusional with stupid shizz.

[Cueil]

no, but the new dev kits will help

[moparful99]

@maniacmayhem. The PS3 was far more powerful from a cpu aspect with a su par gpu.. Once the devs figured out how to move graphics computes to the cell the 360 lost its multiplat advantage while first party titles werefar and away better on the PS3.. This time aroumd the PS4 has the more powerful and easiest to use architecture and the multiplats are walking all over the x1 versions.. As the PS4 first party titles begin rolling in hot and heavy the X1 literally has no advantages. More expensive, weaker, harder to dev for, weak first party, xbox live cant hold up to PSN anymore.. Sony brought their A+ game..

[MRMagoo123]

@maniac

The curtain hasn't been removed , you have been on the xbone defense league since the console was announced. I don't think anyone had the impression that you where unbiased ever, looking at just your comments here proves without a shadow of a doubt that you are a fangirl. I mean look at your comment lol "it has already been said and proven the xbox one can do anything the ps4 can do" and "we have heard from many devs that they can achieve parity" those sentences alone prove you are in complete denial about the state of things for the xbone.
You are as bad and uninformed as kingdad.

Xbone will be behind in every multiplat there is for the entire gen unless there is underhanded dealings involved because the ps4 is factually capable of doing more than the xbone that is all there is too it

[miDnIghtEr20C_SfF]

That's fine. PS3 fanboys never quit on their crappy 3rd party ports and kept talking about a tidal wave that was coming every Year last gen. This gen us Xbox fans will do the same.

Not sure why it's cool for the sony fanboy to stick by his console all of last year as it get smacked around left and right in 3rd party titles, but Xbox fanboys have to quit on their new console after only a couple months.

PS fans getting cocky.. I like it. Try winning a couple years in a row of NPD's before the true smack begins. You know. .now that Sony likes to release NPD numbers again.

[dantesparda]

@maniac

You aint fooling anybody, except maybe yourself.

@Midnight

You're rabid buddy, take your rabbies shot, before its to late

@KingDad

Wow! what a good MisterX disciple you are, eh? MisterX would be proud. He's thought you well. So now we all know you're easy to sucker.

[dedicatedtogamers]

There are plenty of good-looking games on X1, and the fact is that X1 games look better graphically than anything on Wii, 360, or PS3 (that's not some huge stretch to admit that).

Thing is, we know X1 is inferior to PS4 in the power department. In some cases, games actually DO play differently between the two consoles. Specifically, a 30 fps game plays very different than a 60 fps game. That's a fact. Anyone saying otherwise needs to adjust their fanboy goggles.

Microsoft needs to swallow their pride. They don't have to "admit" they are weaker than Sony. Maniac is correct: no company would do that.

HOWEVER, Microsoft needs to shut up about all this power stuff. X1 is NOT as powerful as PS4, no matter how you spin it. It's the spin that needs to stop. Just show off your games. Show off Forza 5 compared to Forza 4. Show off Dead Rising 3 vs DR2. Show off Halo 5 compared to Halo 4. X1 doesn't have to be better-looking than PS4. Simply show off games to your fanbase and they'll buy it. But trying to beat Sony in the multiplats department is a lost cause, no matter how you look at it.

[GribbleGrunger]

It's as if none of you know what's going on here. Look, MS tried to pretend there wasn't a difference between the systems and even went on Gaf to suggest the X1 was 'perhaps' a little more powerful.

Regardless of dev and dev confirming the PS4 was more powerful, regardless of the specs stating it's more powerful, regardless of the games proving it's more powerful, the conversation continues. And why is that? Because MS have created a narrative for their fans to run with, and they're prepared to let it continue.

But this is creating a fanbase that appears to ignore proof that has gone before and take each piece of proof as if it's the first. It's as if they don't know the concept of 'accumulative' information that once and for all proves something a fact.

This cycle of denial will continue unless MS puts a stop to it and the only way they can do that is to admit once and for all that there console is weaker. This will put a stop to the denial, lessen the articles about the power difference, stop journalists from constantly asking devs about the power difference, put an end to silly sites like MisterXmedia and lessen the pressure on their fanbase.

If they don't then for the next 5 - 7 years the X1 fanbase will get ridiculed and slaughtered in the press and on forums and Sony/Nintendo fans will LOVE it! MS are hanging their fanbase out too dry.

[UncleGermrod]

I didn't think it was odd. He actually gave us an honest answer. Clearly he knows some of the in-house stuff may reach 1080/60 (Halo, maybe?), but also is aware that the console just will not hit 1080 consistently. Isn't that what we all have kind of known already? I bet we will see more games reach it, but it will never happen at the same frequency as with PS4.

Spencer tends to give realistic and honest answers. If he had said "more game will reach 1080..blah blah blah", than the internet would have just attacked him and said he speaking "fud" or w.e. you guys call it. I would rather him just be honest, save face, and move on to other topics.

[Axios2]

and 3rd party

X1 native 1080p
Forza
Stryder
NFS
UFC
FIFA
Halo CA
Dying Light
Kinect Sports Rivals
NBA
TombRaider
Rayman

[AceBlazer13]

To bad so many on your list aren't native 1080p huh Axios ? Stick to the 'it doesn't matter' approach bud, you'll feel better.

[Axios2]

@ Ace

like I said, EVERY one of those games is NATIVE 1080p

http://ca.ign.com/wikis/xbo...

[scott182]

^^

Not all those are in native 1080p...
Does tomb raider count? It has fluctuating resolutions on the x1, It drops to 900 and back.

[DJ]

Tomb Raider was 900p on Xbox One.

[DigitalRaptor]

@ Axios2

Some of those games aren't native 1080p, consistently at the very least.

And close to 100% of that list does not justify any kind of next-generation label.

[Wizard_King]

@Axios2

b-b-b-but all those games suck?

I wouldn't waste a single hard earned cent on any of those average titles.

Maybe dying light on PC but on X1 she will be 720p you wait...

[Madock]

just a technical question, does that mean Wii u's more powerfull than the xbone as it can display a game like Mario Kart in 1080 & 60fps native

[stuna1]

The 1080p 60fps argument is about to go the way of the dodo bird! So everyone might as well stick a fork in it, because it's done.

This is not me saying, that the 1080p 60fps conundrum is an absolute scenario, because it's not! This has already been proven to not be the case, since there are already games now running at 1080p 60fps on the Xbox1! And guess what there will be more in the future. Developers will learn to focus on the Xbox1 strengths and they will get good plain and simple, but there there will be disparities between the 2 consoles, with one always being stronger than the other.

The fact that one being stronger than the other is not a death sentence either, but the ball in Microsoft's side of the court, and it now their time to be upfront and forthcoming with all the beating around the bush as to what their trying to sell to the consumer, even if it's just an idea.

[BG11579]

It could have not been an issue, if MS didn't use so often at the latest E3...

[kewlkat007]

"Hints Sakaguchi RPG"

All I cared about...don't give a rats @ss about 1080p @ 60fps..

I'm currently playing Final Fantasy 9 on the PS Vita/PS3. Yes, it's better than most jrpg crap out today and it's not 1080p@60fps.

Lost Odyssey 2, make it happen. I remember when I got the 360 I played like 3 different Jrpgs early in it's life.

[stuna1]

But I'm sure you didn't buy a Vita with the intention of playing 1080p 60fps games on it! Nor is it one of its selling point! That comparison comes off as kind of irrelevant don't you think?

On the other hand I can confidently say that a large number of gamers have bought into this generation of consoles with the hopes that 1080p 60fps will become the new standard on consoles.

[kewlkat007]

I'm quite aware of what the Vita can do graphically but I was just pointing out I'm playing a PS1 game and having a blast..The resolution means nothing to me because of.

At the end of the day, that is what it is about. If you want top resolution from every console game you'll be disappointed. Get a PC.

There will always be trade-offs.

[Lord Anubis]

what?
But Microsoft said they would have 4k games. While Sony said they couldn't output 4k gaming, only video.

[Wizard_King]

I'm sure the X1 can do doodle jump in 4k...

Maybe /s

EDIT: maybe at 14fps lolololol

[moparful99]

Please tell me you're being sarcastic Lord.. Its been common knowledge for sometime now that the memory bandwidthneeded for games to be rendered in 4k arent possible in consoles at this time.. they both only can output 4k video resolutions..

[Lord Anubis]

of course i was being sarcastic. When sony announced they couldn't rendered 4k games. Microsoft quickly raised their chest and shout it. Look at us we can do 4k gaming. Look at the pity state they are in. I almost feel sorry for them. They don't even know where they are going.

http://www.cnet.com.au/conf...

[demonicale666]

No he's right.

[ovnipc]

M$ spend a billion developing a new console and could not get it right. Or they are planning to offload resources to the claud and its not happening. The kiniect its cool and all but i prefer a stronger console specially if they want to have a 10 years life spam. 1080p its the standard today 2014 on 2017 or even sooner the standard will be 4k. This its bull crap. Sorry guys im just disappointed. Sorry for my english.

[otherZinc]

Forza 5, 1080p "native" @ 60fps.
The only next-generation game doing both!

[MRMagoo123]

Next generation game lol as if forza 5 couldn't have been the exact same game on the 360 , all they did was remove everything to achieve that.

[Lord Anubis]

i'm not filled in on the joke of only native 1080p game. Could someone explain it further?

[mixelon]

Off the top of my head - Strider? Injustice? 60fps/1080p there are probably more i don't know about.

[pyramidshead]

Yes but at great cost. It's very clear there was a massive bait and switch from Forza 5 reveal in May and then at E3 to its eventual release.

[BallsEye]

What lack? There is plenty of 1080p games on XO. Get your info straight. Misleading title.

[Spurg]

There is a possible Sakaguchi RPG for X1 and people of debating about resolutions....wow...

[LOGICWINS]

N4G stopped being about games long ago. Its about rabid fandom and "taking sides" in an invisible war. Resolution debates only serve to fuel the stupidity. We've known for a while now that the XB1 will never be able to match the PS4 in terms of the amount of titles that run at 1080p. Why are we still discussing a topic thats already been settled?

[candy_mafia]

Any JRPG should help get some Xbox One's into Japanese homes, but.....

@LOGICWINS

'We've known for a while now that the XB1 will never be able to match the PS4 in terms of the amount of titles that run at 1080p'

Should be....

'We've known for a while now that the XB1 will never be able to match the PS4 in terms of raw power'.

Now it's settled :)

You live up to your title sir, here is a bubble for intelligent comment.

[deepio]

Can't agree more @LOGICWINS. But, much as I would love it if everyone just moved on, I've got a feeling we'll have to endure this same old story for this entire generation. Fanboys just love it too much for it to die.

[N4GDgAPc]

I won't buy a xbone, but if Lost Odessy 2 is annouced then microsoft can take my money.

[kingdom18]

That and a Fable game would be the sole incentive for me to purchase and Xbox One, and why I probably will.

[Kiwi66]

huh ? sorry just a bit confused so you won't buy a xb1 but you will if that game comes out on it

[N4GDgAPc]

Yes. I already know the next game he will make will be Nintendo or Xbox. He will never make a game for Playstation unless he can swallow his pride. In a interview he litterly said I hate the father of the playstation which is why he won't make it for PS. Which ironicly the father of the playstation was retired at the time. And I think his has an issue with sony also.

[LAWSON72]

I remember when console gamers used to say we have better games not resolutions. Now PS4 gamers act like they are better than a PC elitist and Xbone gamers are just playing defensive and trying to look forward to games no matter what the res.

[LOGICWINS]

"Now PS4 gamers act like they are better than a PC elitist and Xbone gamers are just playing defensive and trying to look forward to games no matter what the res."

You mean "PS4 fanboys". GAMERS don't act like this. I'm a satisfied PS4 owner and I think most of the so called PS4 "gamers" on this site are straight up insane. They view the console market as the equivalent of a WWE Championship match or Gundam Battle, foaming at the mouth at articles titled "PS4 Launches in Japan: The Final Blow to the Xbox One?"

[SteamPowered]

"PS4 owners act like they are better than a pc elitist" you nailed it there pal. I'm not an "elitist" but as a pc and consile gamer, i think the resolution wars are funny.

[Hicken]

I remember when Xbone gamers were acting like a handful of pixels and a grass texture meant the world, but only as it pertained to multiplats. Now they either pretend like graphics don't matter, or that the PS4 having better graphics is irrelevant because PC does better... as if PC has ever belonged in a console argument.

[MysticStrummer]

What Hicken said.

Also, you're leaving out the part where for months XBox fans told us about the secret sauce/extra GPU/cloud power. The vocal ones were telling us about all that stuff for more than six months ahead of launch, and the consoles haven't even been out that long. Hell, before the reveals some were saying Sony couldn't afford to make a more powerful console than MS. It's not about higher resolution making games "better", it's about a difference in power that many on here still won't admit, and about a weaker console being more expensive. Logicwins up there asked why we're still talking about it, and at least part of the answer is because some of the more high profile MS honor guard on here are still in a very vocal denial mode. Tell them to stop arguing about it and making the overall group look insane, and I think at least some of this stuff will die down relatively soon.

In a nutshell, the rest of you are getting your noses rubbed in it because of guys like greenpowerz.

[CoLD FiRE]

@Hicken

Really! That's your argument? This is the reason N4G is such a joke because people like you take this personally and all the trolling as some form of payback. So because some fanboys did it a few years ago, you must become a fanboy and do the same thing and then the cycle of stupidity continues, and in 7 years when new consoles are released and the other camp has the more powerful console they go on offense and you go in defense and this stupid fanboy so-called war never ends.

And no, if you want to continue on your crazy fanboy war you can't just conveniently take the PC out of the equation like it doesn't exist just so you can preach your propaganda.

[CrossingEden]

PS4 fanboys are starting to make me HATE the fact that I chose it over the xb1. Despite having a 360, seriously, it's almost daily now that I get told that I don't even own a ps4 when I objectively criticize ps4 games.

[jessupj]

I find it interesting and a little pathetic and hypocritical that everyone''s complaining about the horrible sony fanboys when they're the ones actually speaking the truth, albeit sometimes in an immature way.

We all know the facts now and the multiplatform games show it, but amazingly some people are still in denial and it's pathetic.

Maybe instead of complaining teh sony fanboyz so much you could try to bring back the people living in their own fantasy world. Then maybe all these articles and bragging could stop.

I'm an avid sony fan, but I feel no need to shove the resolution gap in peoples faces. But when someone says the technical gap is only slight I'm going to call them out on it.

All fanboys are blind and annoying, so maybe some of you could focus on all groups of fanboys instead of hypocritically calling out one specific faction. Then maybe I'd take you more seriously.

[cozomel]

Look at them cry (the xbox fanboys). Dont get mad at the so called sony fanboys because ms gave you a crap system to deal with. Yeah, yeah, i know, "the games", when ms gets them, let me know. Cuz all they have right now are vastly inferior multiplats and techincally unimpressive exclusives. Now stop whining.

[LAWSON72]

"techincally unimpressive exclusives"

You fanboys kill me.

[Hicken]

@Cold Fire: I don't really take it personally. I give as good as I get. One of my coworkers is a HUGE Xbox fan, and we talk trash all the time; I don't hold any grudges against him. I've made a LOT of friends from working at GameStop, and many of them prefer Xbox. Our different gaming preferences don't hinder our relationships.

The truth: there will always be a "console war" so long as there are different consoles and people prefer one over the other. You might as well get over that, because that's human nature. There are "car wars," music wars, "TV show wars;" conflict over differences is a part of us. It can sometimes get outta control, but as long as you're NOT taking things personally, it's alright, isn't it? We don't have to like the same things, right?

PC is not a factor. Why? Because it's not a console. That's the simple truth there. Consoles are not PCs- well, they ARE, sorta- and PCs are not consoles. If we're debating Xbox versus Nintendo versus PlayStation, what the hell does a custom gaming PC have to do with it? Especially since not every custom gaming PC is created equal... like every Xbox, every PlayStation, and every Nintendo. That's part of what sets consoles apart from PCs. But you already know all this.

@CrossingEden: If you were ACTUALLY objectively criticizing, and not blatantly trolling, people might take you seriously. But you've had the same agenda since before either new console launched, and I don't think anybody is in the dark as to what that is.

@LAWSON: Take Forza as an example. Yes, it ticks off the 1080p and 60fps boxes, but it's not exactly doing much with those performance numbers. Is that a fanboy statement?

[maniacmayhem]

I am pretty sure that each of these Phil comments has be submitted as a separate story to N4G already.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

No doubt each answer has its own story. I am sure the word "NO" as some point will also get its own story. Its the nature of N4G these days.

[tapaz]

A variety of resolutions? Way to avoid the hard truth Phil.

[MaxwellBuddha]

Yep, just like the PS4.

[Shad0wRunner]

Um..no. PS4 only has 2 games sub 1080/60, which was developer discretion. Not hardware bottleneck. PS4, SO FAR...has been more consistent getting games up to 1080/60 than XBox One has.

So dont even try putting the PS4 in the same boat as the XBox One. LOL.

[sorane]

Uhh you should look again Shadow because that's not even close to the truth. In fact I'm having a hard time thinking of any games out at 1080p/60. Maybe that basketball game or outlast, but neither of them are graphical powerhouses.

[sorane]

Love the shadow disagrees, yet not one person has the balls to try(I stress try because you can't) prove me wrong. Can't say I'm very surprised on this site.

[scott182]

As far as resolution is concerned, the PS4 is very consistent with 1080p, there are only a few examples of slightly less. Like the order being a single step below, but having 4MLAA...

[Allsystemgamer]

^ only game that isn't is bf4 it's 900p where the Xbone is at 720p.

Nice try though

@sorane. http://m.ign.com/wikis/xbox...

Here's a link for you, I only count 4 x1 games 1080p 60fps and 10 on ps4. So you "CAN" be proven wrong after all huh? The truth is out there.

[sorane]

@zerog

Nice try but that list is wrong. It says games like Tomb Raider,Killzone,CoD, and even BF4 are 60fps when they aren't. The ones that aren't even released can't be proven one way or the other. Nice try though.

"The truth is out there."

You're right about that. I just wish you knew what it was.

[ABizzel1]

@sorane

I think the / in 1080/60fps means that games are either running in 1080p or at least 60fps.

Not every game is running 1080p @ 60fps. Even the article states it that way, as we know not every game on PS4 is 1080p @ 60fps.

[moparful99]

Even when proven wrong Sorane can't swallow his pride and admit he's wrong.. Its cool 5.2 million people and counting know the truth.. ignorance smh

[DiRtY]

"Leaving aside few handful of games on PS4 almost every title runs at 1080p/60 FPS resolution"

LoL that is so not true (well some 2D indie games) most of the major games don't run at 1080/60FPS on PS4 either.

Most of the games are 1080p / 30 FPS like Thief, Watchdog, InFamous or Assassin's Creed. And there are even PS4 games that do not get 1080p at all like Battlefield 4 or The Witcher.

[MaxwellBuddha]

Bastard! How DARE you remind everyone the PS4 is not a "beast"! XD

[Sarcasm]

If the PS4 isn't a beast, the what does that make the Xbox One? A hamster?

[kickerz]

I like to play with my hamster every night...

[daedra]

Nah the one is the beast, ps4s just a gerbil

[Hyper_Tension140]

Care to explain why? Im all ears.

Now xboys can tell the future. No one knows the resolution of watch dogs. But you can't see that xBone Hardware will struggle On the most simplistic cartoon Graphics like plants vs zombies GW. The xbone will be inferior to the PS4 the entire next gen due to its weak hardware. It's been three months of the PS4 and already every 3rd party multiplatform games is superior on PS4. It's funny how you feel that is a bad thing that " Most of the games are 1080p / 30 FPS " what does that make the xbone when the majority of there games are in 720p xbone fanBoys Are so hypocritical.
The PS4 has Double the game the confirmed games in 1080p 60fps than xBone. Every game on xbOne that is in 1080p 60fps is a sports game the easiest games to render with static environments and static graphics. no open world next-gen 3D games on xbone. Xbone flagship game Titanfail looks last gen and is in 792p The Last Of Us a PS3 game destroys A supposably next gen game Titanfail in Graphics.

[DiRtY]

Forza 5 is 1080p / 60 FPS for example.

And please quote me where I said that 1080p / 30 FPS is bad. You won't find it, because I never did. You are making things up again.

It is not the graphics why everybody loves Titanfall. It is the gameplay. And if you played the Beta, you would agree. And it is funny that you mention The Last of Us. The last of Us was 720p / 30 FPS and everybody seemed to love it and praised its visuals. Now a game is 900p / 60 FPS and you guys act like it is the worst thing happen to gaming.

I like good looking games like everybody does, but right now there seems to be a time when everybody put visuals over gameplay and that is just wrong IMO.

I still think Halo 4, Gears of War or The Last of Us look great btw. Somehow I don't think that last years games are bad, just because I play on a new hardware.

I am even one of those strange guys that sees the artstyle as the most important point regarding the visuals. Crazy, heh?

At the end of the day the resolution is just... well... resolution.

[Software_Lover]

@Dirty

The thing that has me confused is that they aren't even putting visuals before gameplay. The games are looking good, although Forza 5 did have a downgrade. They are putting Resolution before gameplay. WTF is up with that.

My take on it though is this: If the situations were reversed, concerning Microsoft/Sony, it would probably be the same thing.

PC gamers all around the world play games. PC gamers all around the world play the same games at different resolutions but have the same great time. I think if Microsoft were to drop the price of the X1 to say 350.00 without the Kinect, most of the fuss would go away.

[DigitalRaptor]

@ Software_Lover

It would be the same the other way around, because IT WAS.

These Xboys were doing the same thing last-gen they consistently hate on now. But the difference is, the disparity here is far larger and worthy of conversation. It seems to me that the Xbox fanboy crowd can give it, but simply cannot take it. Look at how awkwardly quiet the Lens Of Truth website is now. ;)
----

@ DiRtY

This is a new generation. Downplaying standards that were expected from last-gen technology and say that it's fine is pretty pathetic. Saying that it's "ok" is the kind of attitude that would've made Microsoft do what they did. But how could they have estimated their audience so wrongly? How could they actually believe the hardcore wouldn't care about fidelity? Because most of us do, especially when we're dealing with new hardware - and before these consoles were even announced, we were talking about their specs more than their games.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with preferring gameplay over graphics, but they are not mutually exclusive - so right now, you don't have to "prefer" anything. PS4 will continue to have both, but it will have the opportunity to exceed in BOTH areas.

Microsoft's brain-dead design choices (to try and go for a non-gaming audience) have handicapped their console for this entire generation technologically, and believe me, if the situation was reversed you'd be laughing at the PS4's inferior specification and ability to hit what is a standard of a next-generation machine.

[Wizard_King]

Forza 1080/60

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE LAST GEN POOP WITH LESS FEATURES THAN ITS PREDECESSOR.

b-b-b-but its 1080/60 it can do it. smh

[SasukeX16]

The witcher isn't confirmed for 900p

[razrye]

The only way that the x1 is a beast is by description, as in ugly pos.

[DonFreezer]

One of the biggest role playing legends of all times is developing a new game for the Xbox One and we are here fighting about 1080 and 720p. PS fan trolls have lost all credibility.

[TheRedButterfly]

^This site in a nutshell.

[LKHGFDSA]

next gen needs to have something to be worthy of being "next gen", if the graphics and resolution are the same, is a backlash not warranted?

[moparful99]

The problem is how much pr speak microsoft spewed from e3 all the way until launch, now that they're being spanked in every regard by Sony they have these cryptic answers designed to deflect criticism.. Why so quiet suddenely? Humble pie tastes bitter doesnt it?

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Hmmm this sounds interesting

[DanielGearSolid]

Sakaguchi is the final fantasy dude?

[Neoninja]

Not sure how you got a disagree for asking a question, but yes he is the creator of Final Fantasy.

However he left Square and founded Mistwalker in 2004.

[DanielGearSolid]

Yea I didn't get that either lol

Thx tho, bubble

[corvusmd]

The 1080p thing will go away for good in about a year or less after Devs start developing games with the new SDKs (most likely), then both consoles will be at the ceiling for this gen. At that point, POTENTIALLY, XB1 could take the lead graphically as it will be all about Texture quality (which is technically is already...which is why Ryse is said by many to be the best looking next gen game), and with DX 11.2 tiling XB1 will have much better access to textures at a moments notice than PS4 will (with XB1 potentially having access to up to 6GB and PS4 having access to 800mb at a moments notice)....if that comes true or developers take the time to do that remains to be seen. That being said, there isn't a single game on XB1 that looks even remotely bad, side by side they all look so similar to PS4 that you can hardly tell a difference (esp after the upscaler update). PS4 has shown to have more inconsistent FPS on several games, so there is a give and take. What I do find odd is that only 3 games on XB1 run at 720p (yet have more stable FPS than their PS4 counterpart ..if there is one)...yet fanboys want to call it the 720p machine, so does that mean that PS4 is the 900p machine? Meh whatever, let PS fanboys have the res thing they are clutching onto...it's clearly all they have right now. All their top AAA titles seem to be having issues after issues, and all seem to get the same reviews/previews about "gorgeous, but lacking any true gameplay" It must be hard to have your entire game library overshadowed by a beta at 792p

@spurg ...Exactly!!! Thanks for cutting to the heart of the matter... I admit I just addressed the res issue because it seems to be the only way to get peoples attention....but it is funny how often on a gaming site "gamers" completely forget about games.

[candy_mafia]

Sakaguchi on Xbox One is a major coup for MS if true.

Regards to the great 'resolutiongate' debate, the media is fueling this and the developers are fanning the flames.

I think a majority of people were expecting MS' new console to kick Sony's butt!, and to at least expect 1080p/60fps more so on Xbox One due to the price disparity, and the last gen differences. That Kinect Camera is no way $100 worth of tech.

The tiling of textures thing to help get XB1 on level ground to PS4 (if possible) is 1 year away from being the norm for most studios. By that time PS4 will have an even greater lead. Xbox owners need to quit blaming PS owners for MS' shortcomings, PS owners didn't design the console.

Quit crying or get a refund!

[DigitalRaptor]

You're 100% correct, but I wouldn't bother with the dude anymore. Downplaying the hardware disparity is what the Xbox guys are doing now. It's their thing. This poor fellow most likely subscribes his attention to the MisterXMedia blog.

The Xbone won't catch up, but it's their fantasy to believe it will. Sony won't be sitting on their hands this generation, and the OpenGL equivalent of tiled-resources is already a thing - Partially Resident Textures.

Microsoft will have a hard time catching up with Ready At Dawn's tech in The Order: 1886, Evolution's tech in DriveClub, SCE and Capcom's tech in Deep Down - but when Naughty Dog and Santa Monica reveals their tech, it's game over.

[OrangePowerz]

SDK won't change the fact that their hardware is weaker. I can't see how they would get better textures on the X1 compared to the PS4 with them having the weaker GPU and slower main RAM. The ESRAM is too small to beat the PS4 bandwidth.

People need to stop listening to the crap that is spread by people like mister x media because it's all wistful thinking and nothing more. The console is weaker just live with it.

[Ashunderfire86]

Damn you had just one bubble, and you just had to type such nonsense.

Tomb Raider on PS4 looks better than Ryse.

Titanfall is so boring. Won't be a system seller. Sorry.

Playstation has always had and seems poised to continue to have better exclusives than XBOX.

So, best looking game to date, best exclusives, better hardware, $100 cheaper. Am I missing anything?

[Allsystemgamer]

^ lol this guy has NO idea what he's talking about. He doesn't understand how hardware works at all lol. DX 11.2 is garbage. all DX is garbage. Te only reason you hear DX so much is because it's all PC has but now there is mantle which is far superior.

[razrye]

@cor You are a deluded moron. The Albert is strong in this one. Making a argument out of assumptions.

[Tedakin]

"Leaving aside few handful of games on PS4 almost every title runs at 1080p/60 FPS resolution,"

That comment just isn't true. This is what annoys me about the entire resolutiongate thing.

[jules]

right... I think the only AAA game right now at 1080p/60 is Forza? on either ps4 and xb1 correct? I think I read somewhere there are more 1080p/60 games on wii u right now....

[jules]

sorry forgot COD Ghost PS4

[mixelon]

COD, Strider (not necessarily AA), Injustice, Killzone SF (multiplayer is 60fps), Tomb Raider is unlocked FPS but can hit 60, while it's capped at 30 on X1, umm.. There are likely more too.

Wipeout was 1080/60FPS on the PS3.. Single examples are pretty pointless, it's only when there's a comparable version of the same game on another system that you can use it as any sort of yardstick for the system's power.

[TheRedButterfly]

@Mixelon

Almost every single titles you just mentioned are an unlocked 60FPS… The closest one to get there is Strider, and it runs smoother on XO for some reason… Tomb Raider's average during the test was around 45-54, and KZSF's the same story as Tomb Raider.

The people saying that "everything on PS4 is 1080p/60fps" are misconstruing the facts. The games are usually "1080p 'or' 60fps" with the FPS usually getting the sh1t end of the deal.

[Ruggadagod]

JRPGs on Xbox always fail except FF XIII.

[2pacalypsenow]

"NO, I think you'll find over this generation games will use a variety of rez and framerates."

On Xbox 1

[headblackman]

getting 1080p isn't a problem for either of the 2 systems, but in most cases with both systems there are trade offs that has to be made. neither of the 2 have a good track record of 1080p 60fps on many of their games. it's either or. either you want 1080p and a low fps or 60fps and a lower resolution. it's just that sony wants and are pushing developers to choose the resolution over the fps and microsoft is leaving the choice up to the developers and what they feel is best for the game and the output of the system. so until either of the systems are outputting 1080p 60fps for every game from this point on, then the convo of either system being something greater than the other is really null an void. greater means that it can do what the other can't (and a trade off doesn't equate to greatness) if the ps4 has to sacrifice fps for resolution that negates it's advantage and if the the x1 has to sacrifice it's resolution for fps, that negates it's advantage. so both systems are in the same boat for now and neither of the systems potential surface has even begun to be tapped into yet, regardless of what these lazy developers are saying at the moment with old sdk's and immature hardware drivers and middleware

[OrangePowerz]

That would be true if X1 games would run at higher frames, but they still run at the same framerate just with lower resolution. It's not like some games run in 720p and 60fps on X1 and run with 30fps on the PS4 but higher resolution.

[GW212]

Ps4's better hardware dictates it will have to give up less than XB1.

[D-riders]

what?????? how many games does the ps4 need to to have a good track record of 1080p since like 90% of their games so far cover the 1080 p 90 fps.

[Bernlock]

90fps now that's impressive!

[headblackman]

they both have games that run at 1080p and they both have games that run at 60fps and they both have games that run at 1080p 60fps. so you're really not saying anything. and the x1 isn't even fully optimized with mature drivers and middleware yet. so this is really more so a bad look for the ps4 than the x1. if the ps4 is barely outperforming the x1 in the ps4's more mature state, then that says a lot about the x1's growth potential compared to the ps4's. gddr5 memory is a nice feature, but tiled resources is a better trick and feature. not only will it allow the system to do beyond what the hardware design alone would be capable of achieving. have a look at this. http://www.giantbomb.com/xb...

[Darkfist]

but it doesn't have multiplayer

[Kingoftherodeo]

everyone saying they should bite the bullet and come clean. come on guys you don't come clean to every girl and be like yo baby i got a baby dick do ya? microsoft will have to flex its muscles either via first party games or some way to try to get more consumers

[D-riders]

IM so tried of people acting like resolution and framerate deosnt matter. NO everygame shouldnt be dependent on that and yes gameplay matters. However, with companies moving towards 4k and by mid generation most gamers will probably upgrade to a 4 once it hits the 2000 and below mark. resolution is going to matter a bunch. those games that run in 720 p are going to look like shit

[kewlkat007]

"However, with companies moving towards 4k and by mid generation most gamers will probably upgrade to a 4 once it hits the 2000 and below mark."

What console developer you talk about?

"by mid generation"

Dude get a PC. These console are already outdated and here your talking about 4k resolutions...ha

[LexHazard79]

Lol....4K? How about they make 1080p programming standard first then we can talk for 4K!

[OrangePowerz]

4k won`t be really anywhere for a very long time. Only the people who really need the latest stuff currently switch to 4k and that only works for games some PC games, even then the assets are not designed for 4k they are upscaled from whatever resolution they designed the textures for. It will take a very long time before TV and movies will be in 4k because it eats up bandwidth hugely. The cable networks and the internet is by far not ready yet for 4k, they are not even doing 1080p yet. At best the HD content via cable or streaming is 1080i with reduced visual quality and reduced audio quality and in cases where they do 1080p the image quality isn`t the best.

[Bernlock]

They don't matter to me when I'm playing mario kart 64 with my buddies and having an awesome fucking time

[LexHazard79]

Blue Dragon 2 and Lost Odyssey 2 incoming. Please MS make this happen! These two games might or might not help in Japan, idk. All I know is that I'll help here in US by buying copy of both! Tuesday is gonna be a good day! Mistwalker is an awesome JRPG devs. Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and also The Last Story on Wii are all great games!

[DJ]

He's just doing his job. He's not allowed to admit PS4 has a 50% power advantage. All he can hope for is 'further optimization'.

[ninjahunter]

The term optimization is used rather loosely these days.

[DivineAssault]

people should do thier homework before investing into home consoles.. M$ is ripping ppl off with that $500 xb1 & the $60 annual fee of xblg u need unless u dont want to use apps or play online.. It shouldnt block apps imo.. Thats B$.. It will have some 1080p games im sure but at what expense? It might limit locked 30/60 fps games..

[Kiwi66]

relax and breathe so you don't like microsoft some people don't like sony or nintendo thats their choice but there are fans who do like each one and they know what the costs are

[AutoCad]

As long as the games deliver im good with xbox one games being capped at 900p.

[NeloAnjelo]

Optimisation won't fix hardware limitations

[TristanPR77]

This obsession was started by Microsoft and xbox fanboys last gen when they constantly taunt the PS3 for not having the best multiplatform version of games. Now that is the other way around, we see Microsoft and xbox fanboys saying " what is up with this obsession with resolution" "resolution doesn't matter". How convenient right?

[BabyTownFrolics]

Oh grow up

Random anonymous people in the past were jerks so now I must be a random anonymous jerk. Childish tit for tat bs.

Take some personal responsibility be better than these useless trolls and side with gamers no matter what they choose to spend their money on.

Or be as much of an ass as the people your complaining about

[Hicken]

I'd agree, except leaving it up to the ones who suddenly say these things don't matter... Not a good idea. Generally, they're the same ones who were okay with Microsoft's drm plans, and they seem to be fond of doesn't misinformation about both consoles. And that ties into the resolution-gate.

There's only so much "1080p and 720p are the same" that any prison who knows better can take.

[Ra3030]

Mr. Spencer says....""I'll be at GDC but we won't have a big show, most news will be coming nearer to E3."

In boardroom speak that's Phil you'll be going to the GDC show alone but with the Micro$$oft sales kiosk to sale the X1 to anyone you can talk out of the $500. So see ya there Phil!

"NO, I think you'll find over this generation games will use a variety of rez and framerates."

CoD at 274p and 400fps
Halo at 647.65p and 321fps
Destiny at 901p and 63.6fps

Well he said variety...

[purp13m0nk3y]

Cool. Some honestly at last. He could very well have spun some PR BS.

I think once everyone accepts the Xbox1 won't have many 1080p native games and moves on. This whole resolutiongate BS will stop making headlines.

An an owner of both consoles I can honestly say that while Xbox1 games as not as pretty as PS4 versions. Xbox1 games still look sensational! A huge jump from last gen and I can't see Xbox1 owners "missing out" on anything just cause the multi plats look a little better on the rival console.

Exclusives are a different matter. But whichever console you buy you'll lose there.

Or just buy both. Prices will drop in a yr or two. Just think of the big back catalog of games you'll have to play :-)

[Daggerjack]

The rpg thing was joke. He just tweeted. Ha

[LKHGFDSA]

"NO, I think you'll find over this generation games will use a variety of rez and framerates."
So that means the Xbone will never have consistent 1080p.

A bit odd that he says "this generation" as if the PS4 and Wii U will start doing shitty low resolutions like the Xbone.

[Flames76]

When you look at it as of right now there are 2 1080p games for the Xbox One and 2 for the PS4.Its not even a difference in 1080p so not even a big deal right now.Look at the order 800p/30fps.Im sure within a year or so every game will be 1080p just takes time.So people really need to shut the hell up about it already its done got old

[purp13m0nk3y]

Really. 2 PS4 games @1080p! Try harder dude.

At my last count there is only ONE sub 1080p game on PS4 (BF4 which is 900p). Apart from that EVERY single PS4 game is 1080p native.

If I've missed one please correct me. I am not beyond some humility if proven wrong.

Edit.

Oh and The Order is not 800p (as that would be 16:10 1280x800 or 1,024,000 pixels). The Order is actualy 2.4:1 1920x800 or 1,536,000 pixels. Huge difference.

The order is still 16:9 1080p pixel density. Just a different aspect ratio. Less pixels overall but the image is still rendered at a native 1080p so no up scaling and thus no loss of image quality.

[BlakHavoc]

I enjoyed Lost Odyssey so this would be welcome. Unfortunately like last gen we'd probably see a single JRPG on an Xbox console and wouldn't get the chance again till the Xbox 2 comes out...

[stragomccloud]

Not even a Sakaguchi RPG would convince me, since it'd likely come to PC too in the end.

[xfear2diex]

lol how was lost oddesy on your glorious pc
was it with 1080p/60fps? or you did reach the 4k?
oh from steam sales too! nice
sarcasm

[stragomccloud]

The assumptions you make.
I did actually have Lost Odyssey for Xbox 360. Amazing game.

These days though, more and more is going to PC, even if it takes a while. So if there was an Xbox One exclusive, it would very likely come to PC after a few years. Console ports to PC were not quite as common around the time that Lost Odyssey came out, and the game wasn't very much of a success, so it didn't have to much buzz surrounding it. That said, these days, even games that don't have a lot of buzz eventually get ported to PC, so what's your point?

Besides the RPG thing was a joke anyway. In related articles it states that. Furthermore, this news is actually extremely old. Whoever posted it really needs to check their dates.

So.... calm down XBot.

[xfear2diex]

nope i was just commenting on your comment begin that an rpg game that did not sell well to release on pc
there alot of xbox games did not come to pc as halo/forza/gears2-3 an as you see i was just joking around there i really don,t care if halo go to pc because pc is the shooters main land so it will be safer there yet it will make the xbox lose sales so M$ won,t do it

[PaulFiend]

Sakaguchi RPG was a joke...

[sgtGanGreen]

Tiled Resources
16k resolution demo was shown at 30fps on 3gb ram machine.
Xbox one hardware is first in the world made just for that technology

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[MasterCornholio]

You made claims before of the Xbox One having 100MB esram and a secondary GPU. Which is why I don't believe you. I had to many bad experiences from people who follow Mr.X.

[cabbitwithscissors]

Nice specs in your comment. You forgot to mention the GPU processor spec required to churn out that resolution.

[purp13m0nk3y]

You do realize that the tiled resources technique that is available to developers on the Xbox1 is not exclusive to Xbox1 hardware right?

The PS4 and indeed open gl as a whole is capable of the same techniques. With identical results. It's a software solution. So it works on any suitable hardware. In fact any AMD 7000 series or later (GCN based) GPU.

https://www.google.com.au/u... http://m.youtube.com/watch%...

[sgtGanGreen]

But ps4 is still limited to 178gb/s and xbox one is not (208gb/s)
And before you say 208 is both ways 104-104, it's not.
16mb tiles can go 208gb/s both ways

[Tzuno]

jrpg's???/Sakaguchi???? now that's gonna make Sony users to buy a X1.

[kingdom18]

That was later cleared up as false, he was "humoring" someone. He later said he hasn't even been in contact with Sakaguchi for a while.

[Spontogical]

I'm not surprised he replied like that. Phil Spencer is Xbox's best boss since 2001. Don Mattrick was shite, and Aaron Greenbrug was the biggest troll of last-gen.

[Edvin1984]

I am not to concerned my self I have 70" TV in my living room a PS4, X1, and WiiU. All systems look just fine. The 720p on a X1 looks fine as it uses AA and also upscales to 1080p. I know that there is a difference, but I my self do not see it. To me the best looking game of last year is still Mario 3D land on WiiU I just can't get enough of that lol.

I am just excited of all the new and fresh games we will get. Resolution is important, but you plato at a certain res, and especially if they get it to like 900p I think even the tech heads here won't mind as much. I love my PS4, but I could care less if the games it offers on it are 1080p but crap. I can't wait for Sony in house studios to churn out digital magic ;-)

[PersonMan]

To be honest, with good anti-aliasing, it's hard to tell the difference between 1080p and 720p.

I just played The Last of Us: Left Behind and I felt like I was playing the PS4 still. The 720p resolution still looked very good (due to anti-aliasing).

[X1BestOne]

looks like xbox got another exclusive coming in.

and what he said about nothing big at GDC is the biggest lie ever. they got something i bet.

something big!
microsoft like to surprise thats what will happen.:)

[Hassassin]

I've recently played my games over-sampled, something like 5120x2880 in my 2560x1440 screen... It's just sooo good, Mass Effect 3 looks awesome (unaltered game screenshot: http://members.iinet.net.au... ,not mine thought), Dark Souls textures really show, even darksiders looks amazing.
I would never come back to 900p... even 1080p sounds underwhelming.

PD: I tried COD:ghost's free weekend, not even oversampling saved that ugly mess. It's just too bad looking. Gameplay was meh also.

/end rant
peace

[GeisT]

I think the argument he is trying to make is that resolution could be the new "bits" for this generation of consoles. Back in the old days bits were a way to measure everything against each other, but now no one really cares about bits anymore. Lots of people would rather play Titanfall at 480p then Killzone at 1080p. If resolution was an indication of the best games then everyone would play on PC.

[Mister_G]

What goes around.....

[Subaruwrx]

For those of you getting excited about a possible Xbox One Jrpg announcement on Tuesday I have what appears to be bad news. According to this article, Mr. Spencer later clarified his statement and said he was joking: http://gamingbolt.com/xbox-... Nice one Mr. Spencer!
