Why did Sony delete the CoD: Ghosts 1080P Image? Flaunt it PS4

The resolution shot heard around the world was fired earlier this week when it was announced that Call of Duty Ghosts would be running at 1080P native, and the Xbox One will be upscaled from 720P to 1080p. Sony fans in particular were pleased, and it didn't take long before Sony was joining in on the celebration.

I think because it's really not necessary. Everyone is aware now and no need for them to run it in. Word travels in seconds nowadays via the Internet. It's just better not for "them" to go there when the gamers will.

NewMonday3854d ago

most lily because Actvision didn't allow Sony to use an altered image

user66358653854d ago

it was not 'sony' as a whole it was a certain division and I'm sure the heads at Sony when found out reprimanded them.

Sony Germany need to be more classy

AlexanderNevermind3854d ago

I don't think it was in poor taste at all. So many 360 commercials over the years saying their system is the best way to play a certain game 'Black Ops 2' as an example. Seriously, how many times have we seen those commercials.

So now we know that the PS4 is the best way to play COD Ghosts. Shout it out and tell the masses. No difference in my opinion.

GryestOfBluSkies3854d ago

while i agree that posting that image isnt a 'classy' move, its not a bad message to be sending out to the masses. the hardcore gamers know about the difference, but the average consumer may not. and with cod's mass appeal, it is important information for the uninformed.

pyramidshead3854d ago

Definitely this, even if it was sly haha.

The video reviews should definitely speak for themselves so they won't need to ride this home. The BF4 reviews already did it, don't see why COD shouldn't either. Hopefully no botched work from Digital Foundry this time to create fake parity.

badz1493854d ago

Some commenters at the original article said because unlike "DLC First on XBOX 360" which MS paid for, Sony didn't pay Activision to advertise it as 1080p/60fps like that.

Hear that pc guys, everytime you want to brag about your powerful pc running games at 1440p/120fps or something, pay the publisher first! /s

Mike134nl3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

@newsmonday
that and they (activision) would prefer xb1 owners still buying the game even if 720p

Angels37853854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

I don't understand how stating a fact is considered a taunt...just because it makes certain people upset ..or makes the competition look bad. The corperate world is rough....if you don't stack up against the competition you risk becoming obsolete. Microsofts shortcomings and insecure fanbase because of those shortcomings is their problem not sonys.

MysticStrummer3854d ago

If that wasn't classy then no advertising is.

Yep. All it does is make Sony appear a bit childish. Everybody who understands what 1080p/60fps means already knows that PS4 can handle the specs and xbone can't.

PeaSFor3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

so stating facts is now childish? really?

its not like its was a "Better With Kinect" on a game box or something.

Baka-akaB3854d ago

Oddly enough constantly touting the best online experience , something that would even need to be proven case by case , wasnt childish .

Sony is just a business , i dont know people insist on their keeping themselve more "classy" than their opposition when clearly they never suffer for it

Brix903854d ago

guess the back of the box is childish too for stating the same thing...

GmIsOnPt3603854d ago

Agreed it comes off as petty, its not as though all games on ps4 are 1080p 60fps either. Sony has the more powerful machine it seems, act like youve been there and let the games/graphics speak for themselves...

Hicken3854d ago

Yeah, cuz that picture is obviously advertising "all games on ps4 are 1080p 60fps."

Shake_Zula3854d ago

Activision likely stepped in after some MS rage. The fact of the matter is that the Xbox line is Activision's biggest benefactor, and saying that the game is better on PS4 could also open the door for CoD fans to jump over to BF4. Smart decision on Activision's part, but I think Sony should flaunt it ESPECIALLY since nearly every CoD game that has come out before has had worse resolution than its Xbox counterpart.

Mikelarry3855d ago (Edited 3855d ago )

the fanboys already do this no need for Sony to. i wish some of Sony branches will stop with the trolling it makes them look less classy.

ZBlacktt3855d ago

and we all know Sony Japan called and said " take it down....now".

MysticStrummer3854d ago

There was nothing trollish or classless about it. It was simply facts.

_QQ_3855d ago (Edited 3855d ago )

Because they knew Valve would make a post

COD Ghosts
90 fps/1400p
Steam Box
LOL joking

But for real either Sony japan orderd it down or Activision orderd it down.

AlexanderNevermind3854d ago

Yes because those pc servers will be filled with the tens of hundreds of people playing on those specs lol.

_QQ_3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

Dude its only plastic calm down lol..

AlexanderNevermind3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

@ lopez_josue

I got to admit I don't what you mean. Maybe my post wasn't as funny as I thought. I was joking along with your post for the record. I just gave you an agree vote to keep the peace

Ahh you edited your comment.. mine seems a little weird now...no worries lol

Shake_Zula3854d ago

Wow, 18 people don't know how to take a joke lmao

The way I see it, if you invest a couple thousand just to game on a PC, you deserve and likely will have a better/more fluid graphical experience. After all, the PS4 and X1 are just specialized gaming versions of FreeBSD Linux and Windows 8.1.

WorldGamer3854d ago

They should make stickers and put it on the box saying "1080p/60fps, only on the PS4". It's a factual statement and one that might sway consumers.

MS hasn't shied away from touting things like timed DLC, I don't see why Sony wouldn't go for the jugular and tout something that will always be true for Ghost, that the PS4 is superior visually to the X1.

Why Sony would shy away from this is really baffling. After all, it is business.

Gazondaily3854d ago

1080p/60fps only on PS4.......and PC....

That's why it wouldn't really work.

Other than that, yeah I don't see any problems with it. Sony shouldn't shy away from the fact that their hardware has the best performing version of the game as far as consoles are concerned.

WorldGamer3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

Well, generally speaking, the PC is never in the equation when it comes to these things anyway. The PS4 and X1 are in direct competition for obvious reasons, the PC is a dynamic platform that is not locked down like the PS4.

It baffles me why PC only guys have to come in and tout their platform. It's a given that it would be more flexible.

So I actually don't agree with your assessment. I think the sticker would still work and be accurate. Choose PS4 because it's more powerful that the other CONSOLE, the X1.

EXVirtual3854d ago

It was just Sony Germany, wasn't it? I guess the heads of Sony told them to take it down.

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth825d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo825d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy825d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad824d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX825d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam825d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje825d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad824d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude825d ago (Edited 825d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark891786d ago (Edited 1786d ago )

Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.

zeal0us1786d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild1786d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us1785d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai1786d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
