Shadow Warrior Runs At 900p On Xbox One And 1080p On PS4, Both Versions Locked At 60fps

"Shadow Warrior is a first-person shooter developed by Flying Wild Hog and published by Devolver Digital. It was released on the PC last year and it turned out to be a pretty solid reboot of the 1997 game developed by 3D Realms."

[Activemessiah]

Just good this on PC... game is super fun!

"You got Wang"

[Volkama]

I bought it for some dirt cheap price off of Steam last Christmas, because I appreciated the trailer's light jabs at popular games. Realistic Fish AI, fully destructable bicycles and such.

Turns out it is fun hacking up demons with the katana. Not a bad game.

[UltimateMaster]

The whole resolution thing is becoming pretty redundant.
We already know the PS4 is more powerful.

The only thing that excites me is that they can push the hardware further and make better games, not just better resolution.

[UltimateMaster]

I just think it's kinda pointless to keep repeating how old news.

[mp1289]

I think 900p is gonna be the standard this gen, like 720p was last gen. Sometimes games will go up to 1080p when they are not visually intensive which is always better.PS4 hasnt gone below 900p on any game so im happy.

[RedDeadLB]

Not a bad game, but the optimization is pretty awful. Framerate ranges from 30 to 120 in just a few steps. I believe that a new PC version is to be released with the next-gen console versions, which is what I'm waiting for. It just performs too horrible in the current state.

[BitbyDeath]

Guess not all indie games work on mobile phones eh. The original game was funny as, can't wait to play this.

[tee_bag242]

@ Buljo

What are you talking about? This game runs like butter. Perhaps revisit your settings mate.

[Volkama]

I get some dodgey performance with crossfire and 3D enabled. But totally smooth on a single card in my experience.

[3-4-5]

Looks ok but they couldn't come up with a more interesting name for their game ?

Shadow Warrior ? yea that isn't generic or anything.

[Activemessiah]

Due to the game being a remake I guess they didn't have that choice but to reference the original title.
It's a 90s title after all... terrible names back then.

[snookiegamer]

Shadow Warrior does not seem like my kinda game, although I'll want to learn more before writing it off.

...and petty rez arguments are so immature, no matter which platform you own ;/

[morganfell]

That's like asking, Doom? They couldn't come up with a more interesting name?

The series dates back to '97. Plenty of people that visit this site and will see the game in stores were not even alive when it first appeared. Shadow Warrior is a fine name for a classic game.

[3-4-5]

I mean in general. Whoever came up with the name originally.

It's not alone. Probably 80% of games last gen had very generic names.

[SUCKxITxEZ]

I own this game on pc and its friggin awesome, and its a reboot, so the name is kinda retro. I have a 750ti (150$ graphics card for u pc newbz)and this game looks better than most if not all currently released PS4 games. The gameplay is amazing as well, as the controls are very fluid. You feel significantly more badass with each gun you find and perk you unlock. Its the best of 90s shooters and modern shooters in one game. The humor is hit and miss, but I laughed out loud several times. Get it!!!

[showtimefolks]

its just funny how MS fanboys are complaining about this stuff now. Remember last gen when every 3rd party game article we had to ready well this looks better on xbox360. What goes around comes around

also again great job sony for actually making a gaming console focused on gamers, build by the feedback from developers and lead by Cern who is a developer himself.

Try to be one thing but be great at it, or try to be an entertainment box and now sure where things stand at the moment.

[air1]

I know where my xb1 stands.. It's been great all around... Thank you ms for thinking out side the box

[Ch1d0r1]

Yup, what goes around comes around.

-Thats the power of the cloud for you, can barely go over 900, p!

[user5669510]

how you get all those deagress. for using the wrong word?

[Activemessiah]

No idea... by the time I saw it, I couldn't edit it... maybe some people don't like PC?

[tee_bag242]

I love this game. Old skool FPS feel. Fast and bloody. I finished it in 3 sizable sit downs. This game does nothing new to the genre but what it does.. Boy oh boy does it do it right. I'm happy to hear the consoles will get to experience this game and also at a glorious 60fps. Hope you fellas enjoy it as much as I did.

[Agent_hitman]

This game is very intriguing, might as well try this..

[Hellsvacancy]

It's the first i've heard of it, I just checked out the launch trailer http://www.youtube.com/watc...

It does look really fun, it's on my watch-list

[imt558]

Well, try the original Shadow Warrior. Top class old school FPS. Just like Duke Nukem 3D from same house.

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

At this point is anyone actually surprised? No? Didn't think so.

[shivvy24]

Yeah kinda sick of the resolution stuff, this kind of stuff should just stay on technical sites like digital foundry. Even ign has juped this bandwagon. I have a ps4 so this isnt some fanboy/defence comment. Just sick of it.

[johndoe11211]

Yeah, I expect ign would have eventually juped this bandwagon. They're a bunch of hypocritical imbeciles.

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

That's kinda my point. No need to bring it up with every game because the trend will only continue. Even programming games to the lowest common denominator (X1) the PS4's raw muscle power will still run games better.

[u got owned]

Dat 30% thought . Is real.

[Shane Kim]

I think it's good that IGN points it out. PS3 versions used to be reviewed seperatly because of resolution and fps. So why not now?

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

I completely agree, last gen PS3 got ridiculed for every game that wasn't as good as the 360 counterpart. Some people here choose to Rforget that fact. Yet Sony expletives clearly showed which system was more capable. This time around 3rd and 1rst party games will out shine on PS4.

PS... The power of the cloud made some really stupid AI on Titanfall, I've been viewing streamed games and that always stands out like a sore thumb.

[ghostface9]

psn_zeronyx Ya except the fact that your an idiot the bots aren't suppose to be hard cause even if they do kill you nobody gets any points from it or anything there just there so you can kill them and get to your titan faster. Also check forza for cloud computing it records how you race and then emulates your style for your friends so they can race you even when your not there really next gen stuff

[maniacmayhem]

There's a huge difference. The PS3 wasn't reviewed on resolution or FPS it was reviewed on how well it ran compared to the 360.

Because of the cell architecture early ports didn't run as smooth or was extremely glitch compared to the 360 version.

This is not the case for these two consoles as thy both run the game exactly the same.

[Flutterby]

@manicmayhem

How are they running the same when the ps4 version is running at a higher rez?

Last gen a lot of games got higher scores on 360 cos it was 20p more or had extra plants , don't try to pretend this is new

[Copen]

@ ghostface9

Stop defending the cloud buddy it ducks as it is now and until the Internet gets where it needs to be here in the US and around the globe it can't be used in a meaningful way and those improvements don't happen overnight get back to me in 10 years then you can talk up the cloud. Titanfall is lean on everything especially for being just an online game since Respawn admittedly cut out the single player to rush the game out. It's fun yeah until you reach the level cap and there's no meaningful reason to re generate so don't bring that up. Also whenever the resolution issue or cloud issue comes up xbox diehards always fall back on Forza and the game isn't even all that they sacrificed a lot for that game to run @ 1080p/60fps and cloud and the game is nothing but a micro transaction title that should've just gone free to play. You bought into the cloud BS and while that's sad you live with the choices you make just don't try convincing others who have a grasp on reality and see it for what it is.

[maniacmayhem]

@Flutterby

"How are they running the same when the ps4 version is running at a higher rez?"

There is no change of gameplay or design, there are no severe glitches or bugs that are only found on Xbox One, the games are running the same for each system. Just because one looks slightly prettier than the other doesn't make the X1 any less powerful.

"Last gen a lot of games got higher scores on 360 cos it was 20p more or had extra plants , don't try to pretend this is new."

It is new, because I have not seen, NOT ONE review score rated higher for 360 for the reason you stated and if it is true then please provide proof and not some link to some random no name blogger.

[Tedakin]

No one gave a crap about resolutions till now. If we weren't TOLD one was 900 and one was 1080, no one would be the wiser.

[SoulSercher620]

Where were you last gen? There were comparisons for EVERY highly anticipated game. People ALWAYS cared about resolution.

Judging by your comments below me it's obvious you care just as much as everyone else does.

[otherZinc]

This always happens with last gen ports.

Why can't Drive Club reach 1080p 60fps?

[GarrusVakarian]

doesn't*

[medman]

Have you seen Drive Club? Best looking racing game ever. That was their choice, they focused on the pretty. That being said, I don't see anything to suggest 30fps is hurting it when looking at the vids. We will all see if it matters when the game releases. But with the way it looks, it will move copies regardless.

[LexHazard79]

@medman, so your a graphic whore then? I buy games based on the gameplay experience, story, etc.

[BitbyDeath]

This isn't a last gen port, it is a remaster of a game from 1997.

[HacSawJimThugin]

Lol. All of those disagree for stating truth. Well said. This gen gas started a new trend that is more than lame and I wish it would go away. Like you said if we aren't told then we would not know.

A bunch of PS Stan's are saying the same in the PVZ article as if 1080p will make the game more fun than it already is.

[Shane Kim]

Why didn't you say this last gen? And don't say it started with this gen.

[Why o why]

Never heard of digital foundry nah....

Too many retconners.... either ignorant to what was rife or trying to play the gamer morality card now the shoes on the other foot. More was made of smaller differences last gen. A faction was very vocal as were some reviewers.... If you don't believe us, just click on a multiplat DF or LoT article and you'll at least see where people are coming from.

[HacSawJimThugin]

@Shane and Why O Why

I didn't care about res-gate last gen so why would I care about it this gen? This whole issue is over blown. Stop living in the past...the difference between 900p and 1080p is too small for me to care. Without Digital Foundry informing you you wouldn't even notice so miss me with ur non sense.

[Why o why]

Again......

if you don't believe us, just click on a multiplat DF or LoT article and you'll at least see where people are coming from.

If it didnt bother last gen then ignore the banter and vitriol as it doesn't apply to you. Like I said, maybe you were ignorant to what was happening and the fuss made over smaller differences by 'some'

[WeAreLegion]

When Mortal Kombat for the SNES came out, everyone was mad that the blood was grey, instead of red...and the graphics, overall, were downgraded.

Believe me. It has been going on for a LONG time.

[Ravenor]

It was an arcade port, of course it looked worse every arcade port looked worse on the home consoles, the Genesis version didn't look as good as the arcade either. Hell, Street Fighter 2 kinda looks like garbage on the SNES....what were we talking about again?

I sit like 15ft away from a 60 inch Sharp Aquos Quattron, I really don't see the difference. Before you all dog pile me, you should probably know that the further from the screen you are the less the resolution matters. Sooo PC's will always make it more important to have the resolution as high as possible while consoles it's less important. It's still nice to have 1080P, but it's not game changing.

[BG11579]

I don't agree with you.
Some people forget that for this generation, it was MS that started this resolution war at e3.
So it does matter.

[uth11]

Better resolution has always been a selling point. Here's proof:

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[memots]

haha priceless

[5eriously]

And....the trend continues! Tell us there is no problem I dare ya PowerOfGreenCheeks tell us that DX12 and the secret sauce will rectify the situation and that the XB1 will exceed the power of the PS3 once the clouds come in without the rain and thunder.

Then again I wish for the kinectless XB1 to be better and that the Kinect2 would be bundled for free in future as that is the only reason I would have acquired the XB1. Hollow5 will not do it for me neither Forcedza.

@ Tedakin. The Xbox fanbois cared a helluva lot the last gen and every single pixel (resolution) and jaggie of the PS3 was discussed and the PS3 dished because of it as well as EVERY multiplat was used to dish the PS3 for much less and totally insignificant "flaws" as compared to the 360. But what do we know, must be how the Americans see things (wink).. Do not believe me? Go do some searching!

@Death above. yeah it never happened LOL /s
Idiocy are a terrible disease! (wink)

[mcarsehat]

It isn't for 'revenge' on Xbox Fanboys because, with the majority of gamers buying a ps4, those Xbox Fanboys are now on the same team so the argument actually isn't against the people who game. It's about the console they game on.

YES, that IS as superficial as it sounds.

[Ravenor]

I like when people like to dig at the other team like some kind of self righteous warrior from the East. We get it, you took those articles REALLY REALLY personally, while I would call that semi frightening behaviour you've hung your hat on it, Kudos. You're back with a vengeance and now it's personal! You seem sane, lets hang out.

Guys this is video games and all those years ago some nameless anonymous dudes really got to this guy, he's been stewing and it's finally time. He will either snap and go postal or he will finally realize this shit right here; The article, the numbers, the finger pointing...totally meaningless. You're wasting your time with these thoughts, it's time to let go and forgive.

Be the bigger man boy.

Yours forever and always,

Ravenor

[mcarsehat]

I can see how people complaining abut this topic can be mistaken for 'Semi-Frightened' behavior. People complain the most when something is worrying to them but it isn't about the games, it's about the community. 'The Fear' as you imply it to be is brought on by reminiscing about the time when i was little and my only complaint about a game was that i couldn't buy it (Which was most of the time.)

As creepy and pretentious as that comment was, you do seem to understand that people my age DO take stuff like this seriously, it involves little Kids complaining about games that they themselves cannot buy (because of money and age) and complaining about things that they don't understand "IF A GAME ISN'T SHINY AND 3D, IT'S A LAST GEN GAME."

That makes me sad.

[LexHazard79]

Im actually one of the people that believes DX12 will give Xbox One that extra push to achieve 1080p games more consistently.

Everything you read about it seems to point to that...atleast to me. I may be wrong but to bad we cant find out til 2015.

[JohnApocalypse]

When will this end? Tired of hearing this shit

[abc1233]

So then don't click on these articles and don't waste your time moaning about them, because it's not going to do anything. These articles at least serve a purpose for people who are interested in the game and are unsure as to which version to get, since sometimes there may be parity between the two console versions.

[jackdaniels]

LOL

[JohnApocalypse]

Its less about the threads and more about the Xbone. There are PS3 games that run at 1080p

[bumnut]

When you stop visiting this site?

[S2Killinit]

Well i sorta wanna know which version of the games run better.

[Jury]

When the generation ends. Buckle up!

[Back-to-Back]

@John

Someone is having buyers remorse on their Xbone purchase.

[Kayant]

And the never ending cycle continues. Good to see it's 60fps on both.

[PS4OUR]

Its not just MS fans who took delight in putting the boot into Sony and the PS3 last generation when the 360 had the majority of multiplats run flawlessly, it was the media as well. Nowadays the media wats to play the "dont play resolution, play games" tune.
Funny how times have changed and how the Xbox camp is supposedly on the same side of the "play games, not resolution" song. Give me a break.
Had Xbone had the hardware advantage you would never hear the end of it. Its the reason why they hold onto the Cloud tech so much, hoping MS can push the Xbone above PS4 in grunt.
This here article is yet another example of the gulf between the two consoles but just you wait, DX12 is coming to close down the gap and teh Cloud will push it beyond PS4.
LOL

[Volkama]

Most people that take an interest in Microsoft's cloud promises aren't interested because they think it will make the console more powerful than the PS4.

Most people are interested because they want to see if it can bring any new and/or improved gameplay experiences. Even if they run at 792p or something.

Personally I am interested in Microsoft's cloud, the PS4's GPU Compute grunt, Sony and Occulus' VR push, OLED TVs, and any other emerging gaming tech. Imagine that?

[SilentNegotiator]

Like Titanfall's brilliant AI? The supposed improvements to Watch Dogs? Forza's AI behaviors storage (because downloading small amounts of data for AI variation was TOTALLY never possible before TEH CLOUDZ)?

[Volkama]

No, not those things in particular.

I am not foolish enough to think that "TEH CLOUDZ" (as you so childishly term it) can offer the gamer anything that a dedicated server(s) cannot.

But I am also not foolish enough that I will not recognise how a dedicated server could be used to improve a gameplay experience.

And that's what we're talking about here. At it's simplest level Microsoft's cloud enables developers big or small to take advantage of servers. It is scalable and therefore very cost effective. There is nothing bad about that.

Whether the service will ever offer more than that very basic premise I do not know, but even that small offering is exciting to me.

Dismiss it if you like. That's your prerogative. I'm just saying I don't look at cloud and think "that'll teach those pixel counters!!". I look at it and think "I hope that gets some creative use".

[user5669510]

not really the media switched sides like the xb fanboys. now yall are dancing to their tune just like xb fanboys was. have you ever heard of manipulation. they know they can get hit by stroking ps fanboys ego.

[Tedakin]

Hey look on the bright side. Xbone games are rapidly improving. Once the SDKs get better and DX12 comes out it will get better. But hitting 900 60fps locked on Xbone already is an achievement.

[Tedakin]

Getting almost to 1080p 60fps locked in an FPS game like this on Xbone ISN'T an achievement? You disagree? The resolutions and framerates are improving very quickly on the system, it's evident.

@SpideySpeakz, how DirectX can improve performance is not PR nonsense. Insisting there's a massive visual difference between 900p and 1080p is major PR nonsense. And I love how if you say anything GOOD about either system you're a fanboy. You're a fanboy if you automatically diss everything. I'm a fan of GAMING and am glad to see the Xbone doing better performance wise.

[SpideySpeakz]

I've noticed Bone fans dwell on such hopeless unlikely PR marketing stunts like cloud power and DX12. Everyone with an IQ higher than 90 knows it's just PR nonsense.

[PS4OUR]

Spidey: They are holding onto hope DX12 and Cloud will swing pixel pushing performance the Bone's way. Im sure they know no amount of software can overcome the gulf in hardware between these two consoles. Funny thing is at the start of this gen i never thought MS would end up with the weaker console considering MS is loaded compared to Sony. I genuinely thought Xbox One would end up the powerhouse. You even heard it here on these forums before the console reveals which makes this whole situation even funnier.

[Xbot1214]

LOL @ you guys still talking about the Cloud and DX12

Sound like you guys are excited for it

We all are, just take a seat, grab some popcorn and watch

cause everyone with an IQ below 30, knows you guys are feeling salty

[Flutterby]

Is that why you know they are salty xbot1214? Cos of your I.Q being lower than 30 ?

[bumnut]

How dare you say anything positive about Xbox on this site

[Hellsvacancy]

"900 60fps locked on Xbone already is an achievement"

How is that an achievement? it's next gen, it should be standard atleast

[VsAssassin]

Not trollin here, but I think the reason why the Xbox One's version of quite a number of third party games this days are at 900p is the 180s they pulled off for the past few months. So 1080 - 180 = 900p. Sorry, I just thought it's funny!

[disKinected]

Lol.

[PS4OUR]

Lol omg #dead

[WickedLester]

Wow! Mind=BLOWN! LOL!! Bubble for you sir!

[TheObserver]

720+180 = 900. They pull 180s both ways.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

I'm neutral in this console war shit. I love my PS4 and XB1 both the same. Why limit yourself to one console ? Both have pros and cons. I'll be getting Wolfenstein on my XB1 today and Watch Dogs on my PS4 this weekend. I play both my consoles equally.

I remember being a PS4 fanboy (hence why I only have 1 bubble Lol). Now I have both and the XB1 is just as awesome as the PS4. Can't wait to play Uncharted and The Order 1886 on my PS4 and Halo 5 Guardians and Quantum Break on my XB1.

Just by both people.

[Immorals]

Glad to see a mature comment in this mess.

I have an xb1, and I'm going to get a ps4 when the exclusives start coming. (looking at you, the order!)

Still going to buy multiplats for my one, because I prefer the controller, all my friends are on xbox and I like building my gamerscore.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Yes dude finally a netural person, these resolution-gate articles are funny to me and nothing more!

[Hellsvacancy]

"Why limit yourself to one console"

Maybe because there is more in my life than just gaming

I do however kinda agree with you, I don't want two consoles, but I WOULD have two or three girlfriends at the same time IF I could get away with it

"why limit myself to one women when there's plenty of me to go around"

I bubbled you up

[abc1233]

Sorry, but not everyone can afford to pay £700+ on games consoles, along with the yearly subscriptions required to keep both of them online.

[MonstaTruk]

@PrinceOfAllSaiyans

"Why limit yourself to one console?"

Some might argue, why get both? To be objective, they both will share at least 97% percent of all games, lifetime. If one's multiplats are better than their rivals, systems are the same price, and money doesn't grow on trees (this guy)... I should get both for a handful of exclusives? Especially with MS, the exclusives will be "hot and heavy" the first 2 years or so (how many full-retail exclusives this year, 2?), what about later? Some people make a strong argument that it's just not worth it...

[kdmai5z]

This. This is the big reasoning why i don't own X1. Anything that i want i can get on my PS4. & they've only released ONE exclusive EVER that i've ever wanted to play & that was Lost Odessy. Other then that.. There isn't anything that Xbox has that makes me want to own their console.

[uth11]

exactly, if I get a second console, it won't be an XB1, it will be a Wii U- has more games that I can't currently play

[user5669510]

is you bubz and disagrees, and remember what wrong with this site. i loved the comment system before, people use to get banned to the free zone, or people can troll their. now this site is ruled by the fanboys with the most numbers.

[Silly gameAr]

Some people can't afford to buy both, and believe it or not some people don't want both.

[tee_bag242]

Then I hope you've learnt the value of being unbiased. Every platform has something to enjoy.

[Yurtigo]

Haha

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Anyone even going to talk about the game in which the article is about?! -_-

[LoveOfTheGame]

My first thought when seeing the headline was "what's shadow warrior?".

Who cares how a game plays or if it is even fun, show me the resolution.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Oh I love the game. It's been on my wishlist since last year. Just wondering why nobody is talking about it in a thread about it, LOL

[LoveOfTheGame]

The game does look interesting, I just thought since it is new to consoles they might give some actual information on the game.

Seriously getting tired of every game's first article being what Res and FPS it is.

[memots]

makes it easy for xbo fan to dismiss it right away. Like you did on your previous comment.

[jimbobbeers]

Question is, how many people here are laughing at Xbox owners for paying more money for less whilst you're on your overpriced Apple device?

I'm betting quite a lot of you.

[GundalfDeGrej]

Brilliant slice and dice action game. Looks good as well. Highly recommended!

[Predaking77]

Well this is not surprising at all. Everyone knows Multiplatform games are superior on PS4.

Since last gen the media and Xbox fans trashed the PS3 for any disadvantage I have no problem with this articles. The Xbox fans are now on the receiving end and they have to swallow it and stop making pathetic excuses. Life is a cycle, sometimes you are up and others down.

[Illusive_Man]

Not sure I care 900p looks great!

[dale_denton]

for a $500 console you better care lol

[Convas]

Newsflash, in just 11 days, you can get the console for $400

[king_ps4]

Xbox fails to reach 1080p yet again. The consoles garbage

[tee_bag242]

So what does that mean when Watchdogs is only 900p then? Obviously you care more about trying to rub it in someone's face rather than gaming itself. Pretty insecure.

[jessupj]

At this point I think we should just assume every game will run better on the PS4 and only have articles for the few times there might be parity.

I think most people have accepted that the PS4 is more powerful. It's only a few select diehards that stubbornly refuse to see reality. And as long as these diehards keep being delusional, sony fans are going to keep laughing at them.

[Spotie]

Like a few others have said, though, it's not just about the fanboys. Even the media outlets were in on the hate parade last gen; now, however, many of those same outlets are preaching peace. "Who cares about resolution?" they cry, when they were quick to jump on any resolution differences just a few short years ago.

By all means, let's talk about more than the resolution disparity. But let's not just forget it and brush it under the table while the same ones who say they don't care are simultaneously holding on to insane hopes in firmware updates and cloud computing.

[Holeran]

Looks like great comedic fun to me.

[lonewolfjedi]

*clears throat and points towards xbox one.

xbox one you are the weakest link.

[XxExacutionerxX]

Xbox One games have always been looking better than PS4. Like Watch Dogs, the PS4 version appears washed out in color. The X

[jkendrick]

Wow, just wow!

[memots]

http://www.resnet.trinity.e...

[moscardini7]

Hahaha

[corroios]

the reason is that the PS4 is pushing more 20 to 30 por cent than the Xbox One in almost every single multiplatform game from the start.

We are not talking about 2 or 5 frames or more grass like it was done last gen. We are talking about a big diference in performance.

900p is not bad, but 1080 is better... And you always want the better experience in your big TV. They are just saying wich is better from the two.

This generation is lot easier to tell then the last.

[cruzngta]

So much for that DX12 gravy, aka 'Secret Sauce'.

[Convas]

DX12 doesn't launch until 2015

[Hyper_Tension140]

Doesnt matter, but I believe we will be saying the same thing when it does launch.

But PC players should be excited tho.

[dale_denton]

who's laughing now bots? sony gets the last laugh as always.. last gen and this gen =)

[marlinfan10]

lol does it make you feel better having a higher res? I've got both systems and buy the game depending on what my friends are doing, not resolution. most of my games end up being on xbox one and I've never once thought "man this would look so much better on ps4" the graphics are nearly identical.

[mcarsehat]

All of this Quantum Break news and THIS resolution crap is the most looked at article!?

When will fanboys just leave and stay away?

[90Supra]

No ones gonna get real hype about QB until there's actual gameplay shown...

Trailers with CGI and what may be gameplay don't cut it...

[The_devils_chum]

1080p has been around for quite a while and if the xb1 hqs trouble hitting that mark now then theres a problem. Xb1 has very little room to grow. DX 12 will help but its a drop in the bucket, if you think its going get most multiplats up to snuff with ps4 then your kidding yourself. Its the feeble minded, young gamer xbot fanboys who think all this secret sauce and cloud isnt going to do much.

[Xbot1214]

yes we know you paid 500 for your xbox one and ur upset

[marlinfan10]

haha every comment i see from you is about dx12 and they're never in a article about dx12. xbox is clearly always running through your head so why not just pick one up? you might not be so frustrated if you owned both consoles.

[hello12]

I don't know if anyone knows. But i have an LG true HD 32 inch tv.

The x box 1 only shows 720p and 1080p TV resolution.

No 900p resolution. Why is that been like that since launch.

Does x box 1 even have 900p setting? Anyone with other TV's display 900p?

[uth11]

The 900p will be upscaled to 1080p before being displayed

[sgtGanGreen]

What is a shadow warior?
and @KNWS all games on x1 and ps4 are upscaled to 1080p.
Those are native resolutions 900p 792p

[Mrtemper]

We need Hard Reset as well!

[corvusmd]

I had never heard of this game till today actually, based on this one screenshot, not sure I NEED to pick it up yet, but I'll keep my eye out for it in case it changes my mind and I decide to get it.

As far as the res trolling, give it a rest. "last gen xbox fans..." just sounds like a lame excuse kids would use. If that's true,they suck, but now you have a chance to take the high road, instead you wanna be just as childish. Keep in mind all that whining "they" did ended up making no difference in the long run. Did last gen's "xbots" change you're mind...or just build up resentment in you?
Res differences last gen was never a big enough deal. The ONLY thing that I will say now about last gen Res differences is that you could tell easier than this gen. 1080p and 900p isn't just 180 pixels, I get all that. I'm saying it seems we've reached a point that even our low end of graphics is SO detailed (and everything is scalled to 1080p ) the ability to tell the difference is so much more difficult to see. Ask yourself why the new comparison videos aren't like the old ones where they would just play the exact same scene right next to each other in real time. Now it's all about pausing, slo-mo and zooming etc. Sites that exist ONLY to point out difference in these things most of the time have to say "yes there is a difference, but it isn't common, and most of the times isn't noticeable" (recent example, Digital Foundry with Watch Dogs).
In blind tests 99% of the time you wouldn't be able to tell the difference, and if you can, it doesn't destroy the other experience. Is PS4 more powerful, yes. Looking at the specs on paper many have claimed that it's 50% more powerful, yet I have yet to see a single game on PS4 that looks even close 50% better in the end result than it does on XB1. Many of these people call Xbox fans delusional for hoping that DX12 and the cloud will help with XB1 in the future, saying things like "prove it", Well then PS4 needs to "prove" that it can make games look 50% better before we start beating each up over this. We are already starting to see that the graphical gap is closing slowly, so what happens if both systems get better but hit the ceiling of 1080p/60fps?

The differences just simply aren't AS noticeable as some wish to believe, the longer they hold onto this, the more desperate it seems. It's like "this is our one advantage, don't take it". PLEASE, have faith in your system. BETTER YET, enjoy all the systems. It's not a gang, it's F'n video games. Let the companies duke it out, reap the benefits, there isn't a single game on any system that looks bad. ANY other aspect of gaming is more important right now.
A lot of these people think that they are making someone cry themselves to sleep by pointing out "PS4 is more powerful", unfortunately the only people you'd be trying to do this to, own X1's and can see that it's not as big of deal as you pretend it is, instead it just comes across as pathetic. So I suggest you stop and just enjoy how spoiled we gamers are right now, instead of becoming the people you hate.

If PS4 is that much superior, then let it speak for itself. I like my PS4, but I only use it for exclusives, I admit I like my X1 more, but it's an OPINION thing for me, it's ok for others to be different.

[larrysdirtydrawss]

50% goes towards framerate,vsync, resolution, shading, aa,ect ect and ps4 usually has these things in there favor,, and I think devs hold back on other things at times so the ps4 doesn't go way over the top better so the other fanbase don't get too fickle..

look at kzsf/ryse,the textures/shading in killzone are atleast as good(if not better) in kz and with a sharper image,better framerate,better physics, better particles and not anywhere near on rails as ryse.. if ryse tried to pull off everything kzsf was doing,it would chug along at 3-5fps,and infamous is even a level above that. theres your %50 difference in exclusives..again devs wont probably get to that level of difference because of time/split man power, and not upsetting the fans of the inferior consoles too much by making the other console version of the same game too much better. and yes,its easy to see the difference between 1080p 900p and 720p even with scaling.. and pausing,slo-mo, and zooming in happened last gen too.

[system22]

i actually know for a fact most devs don't hold back on the ps4. they are already pushing it close to max on a bunch of titles with current api/sdk's available to them. this will change in the future, as will the x1's. Infamous had cpu bottleneck problems with the ps4 and killzone multiplayer hits resolution by rendering in a method similar to video compression (calculating motion interpolation between slower interlaced picture updates). the order 1886 looks mind blowing, but remember its on rails so it doesn't have to calculate a vast open world, just whats immediately visible (culling).

yes the ps4 is more powerful, but not by a huge amount. it has 18 cu's vs the x1's 12, but its balanced for 14 and 4 are for failure or additional cpu compute (not render). That being said, the x1's 12 cu's are clocked higher so you have to take the difference in clock (600 hz per cu) and multiply it by the number/difference of cu's to get a more accurate gauge of actual graphical power differences. the ps4 still comes out ahead, but not by as much as some people think. it also has the more convenient chunk of unified ddr5 in comparison. simple.

the biggest problem with the x1 hitting 1080p is cramming all the various buffers etc through a very small, albeit super fast chunk of memory. this is where tiled texture streaming is going to save the x1's ass in the future, making it hit 1080p much easier. the reason some of the textures etc seem a bit more lofi in comparison is basically just trying to make room for an odd size of esram etc. new sdk's, api's etc will make this easier to deal with in the future so the system can really be developed on the way they meant it to be. the system seems odd now but its totally geared to be scalable with cloud computing and it seems thats the basket ms is going to start putting their egss in.

regardless - they both look great. i have a ps4 and an x1 and i love them both. people are way too hung up on all this resolution bs. i don't say this as an ms fanboy (aside from the xbox, i hate ms), but as a person who experiences both systems regularly. the differences are really small at the end of the day, and exclusives on both systems look fantastic.

[reko]

@corv

you dont have a ps4,stop pretending.

[Master of Unlocking]

This...that right there is becoming a trend, isn't it?
The PS4 really is more powerful than the xbone, and the gap is only going to widen in the future years, if things start like that right at the beginning of the gen.

[system22]

all of these games went into development years ago. the trend will continue until more recently developed games with more updated sdk's and apis get put to use. expect to see it a bit longer but start to fade. the ps4 will always have a slight edge but the disparity in resolution/fps should minimize over time.

[rivencleft]

This game looks like it could be entertaining, haven't heard anything about it until now.

[Yaay4me]

Well, PS4 is the better console to play games in my opinion. and the slightly better choice for those who want more than just a select few hyped up bought exclusives at the beginning of each generation. So, I'm personally really glad that the console with the better focus on core gaming is also the more powerful. Nothing against xbox, its also a good console, just not the best i think.

[stumpa]

Game looks fun as for all this console flamebaiting crap its getting boring ive got both machines and they are both very good and both have pros and cons

[DaleCooper]

You know what? I own an Xbox One, and I'm okay with this. In fact, I'm done reading these resolution articles. Time to go enjoy my games! :)

[corroios]

Is funny has all xbox fãs say that, buy im just waiting for the first game that runs at 1080p at the xbox One and 900p at the PS4.

If that happend the article will get 5 million coments...

I told you so!!! the power of the Dx12/cloud/SDK.. and so on...

[system22]

so many hilarious memories with the original version.

[MetaReapre]

Really? So much hate in these comments. I went in here because I thought another game in 60 fps for both ps4 and xb1 was awesome, gives hope to the future of these consoles, but for Christ sake does everything have to be about resolution? It's pretty constant that multiplats have been seen better on the ps4, can't we get to the real problem? We need more games in 60 fps!

[corroios]

The game that you are talking was built with dynamic rez and it goes down on the xbox one to 900 at moments and on the PS4 1700... Tests were made by DF.

Is the same technique used on Wipeout for the PS3

[AnEwGuY]

Played this last year on PC, and it's utter garbage ; can't believe they even bothered to port it to consoles. If you want to play a SP-only Doom-esque FPS, with great story and gameplay to boot, play the new Wolfenstein. Don't bother with this crap, unless it's in the $5 bargain bin.

[Edvin1984]

Was this game any good on PC? I have heard of it, but not heard any one actually get a chance to play it. Might give it a look, but right now got plenty action going on Titanfall, WatchDogs, BF4, Forza, need to still finish Ryse lol

[josephayal]

900p? This is such a terrible situation

[DarXyde]

So both versions are well above the 720p mark and run at the same rate.

I guess if you want to be literal, the PS4 version is superior, BUT XBOX One gamers really won't be missing out on anything. They run the same, which, in my opinion, is what really matters.

[Claudinho69]

same ol shit, just a different day

[jnemesh]

To all of the Xbox fans asking why we can't just enjoy the game and quit with the "fanboy" comments...BECAUSE N4G POSTS THESE STORIES, and because with each and every multiplatform game, we have MORE confirmation that the Xbox is inferior. THAT is why. Don't like the discussion? Go read another forum....oh yeah, those forums are all saying the same thing...maybe you should switch allegiance?

[thexmanone]

@jnemesh

Yea ok right on it. The Force is strong with this one.

Why not just stay on the topic. It just makes you sound worried that the xbox is better. Which it is.

[reko]

salty? tsk tsk.

[cyhm3112]

xbox is better??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[thexmanone]

Its better to me and that's all that matters.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

KILLZONE SHADOWFALL-RESOGUN- INFAMOUS 2nd Son - METRO 2033 REDUX - DESTINY and now SHADOW WARRIOR, all great reasons for me to pick up a PS4 this fall! As far as 1080p goes, i do not care about that stuff! I just love to play video games!!!

[XStation]

Must of you broke boys isn't going to buy the game anyways so stfu. What's the since of talking about a game's resolution if you're not gonna even play it or is not interested in it anyways? You people just like to bandwagon. Whatever one person say, you agree with. Don't be a follower; become a leader.

[ktorc]

But when the XBOX ONE cloud power, DX12,secret souce,spyce and much much more cooming ,then you can see much better than the PS4 games...

[GamersHeaven]

900p DX12 and the Cloud flexing its secret sauce muscles don't have to worry about 792p anymore.

[ShockUltraslash]

Hmmm nothing surprising.
