Activision is running to the defense of Infinity Ward as members of the gaming media try to run a damage control campaign after it was revealed that Call of Duty: Ghosts isn't running native 1080p on the PlayStation 4, but was instead relegated to 720p.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
“Jason and Vince just got fired!” A lead artist shouted, as he rode in on one of the many small kick-push scooters that would typically lay around the studio. He quickly scooted away to some other part of the office space to spread that shocking message.
A friend worked there in production and was miserable due to working with IW and with ATVI. When he complained to his VP about it, he was told...be glad you have a job and are making games.
Sounds about right, but is also sounds like something Infinity Ward would say. They made their own bed and cashed in hard to do it. F em.
That sucks, but that’s corporate America. I mean, they could’ve turned down the money and leave to Respawn too. At least they got something, my corporation would’ve probably expected everyone to go back to normal.
daaaym
"oh we're running ur life? pff get over it, like honestly"
scum
I mean, if my company wants to give me a bonus and raise my salary by 50%, I'd get over whatever the hell they wanted me to. 🤷♂️
Either damage control or just a political move.
You decide.
Im guessing it was a political move by Activision to help Microsoft save face. Make both games look somewhat identical by limiting the PS4s resolution. Then release a patch at launch to take the PS4 version back to native 1080p... So nobody knows the difference.
The problem, Activision got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and Microsoft was outed. My guess is, it was done by Infinity Wards own people to out Microsofts controlling ways. Show Microsoft that it doesnt matter how much damage control they do, the truth will always come out.
After all, if you were the developer... Wouldnt you want the best of your work to be seen and shown off, without compromise? Not limited by an outside source, who has nothing to do with the project?
Regardless, the PS4 is still getting the best console version of the game and no amount of marketing or NDAs are going to change that.
at this point idgaf.
So much flipping flopping, I don't care anymore, I'm gonna play it regardless
Don't know about you guys but Native 1080p vs Native 720p, 1080p having more pixels than 720p. After looking at the video, the screen pixel fill rate on both are the same. Meaning 720p even upscaled to 1080p will have less viewable pixels ie there should be more on screen at 1080 vs 720. This is not the case from the video so I believe they are both running at 720p
