Forums - Gaming Discussion - CBOAT strikes again: Says not to expect 1080p in Xbox One

foodfather on 14 October 2013

Not sure if anybody is actually bothered. Apparently Alan Wake wasn't even 720p and it looked phenomenal.

Neither PS4 nor Xbox One will have a native 1080p baseline.
We went through the same thing back in 2006 with the PS3; in the end, many developers will choose to sacrifice resolution for better effects, materials, textures, etc.
This is why many 360/PS3 games weren't even 720p native. In fact, many high profile games like COD, Crysis 2, Halo 3, Splinter Cell Conviction, Alan Wake, and the PS3 versions of GTA4 and Bioshock weren't.
Many gamers won't even notice the difference between 720p and 1080p, much less 900p and 1080p. So devs will spend the power on things they will notice instead, or just not spend the extra time and money to optimize for 1080p.

These next gen consoles clearly have way more bandwidth and pixel output at their disposal compared to the PS360U so there is no excuse for why they can't have 1080p and that especially goes for the PS4.

On PS4, only one game is confirmed sub 1080, it is Battlefield 4 (the order is  a special case). All first party games are confirmed 1080p (or 1080p IQ for the  order) and all multiplat (so far) are rumored (by developers tweets etc) 1080p.

Even on XOnes some games are confirmed 1080p (Forza and COD) and I don't doubt that others will follow as probably a lot of indie games will be 1080p.

So I think your "Neither" is a lot preposterous.

Seems like nothing new this time...

BTW this Reedit Xbone dev was wrong about everything it said until now lol... and the interesting is that he can't even deny what CBOAT said.

lol

Whether people believe a rumor or not seems to depend on which company they are backing (ex. 2 GPU's!!!). To say Cboat is always wrong is untrue. To say he is wrong 50% of the time is still untrue. He has been known to be right more often then wrong.

This rumor... isn't really a rumor. More of something we kind of already knew.If you wanted to believe Ryse wasn't 1080P by choice, then you did. Others believed it was due to hardware of the Xbox One. 

There isn't really anything new or shocking about the Xbox One. We knew before the reveal Microsoft created a media box, living room machine, whatever you want to call it. It isn't a hardcore gaming machine like the other consoles. We knew this when we were still calling it next box, xbox 720, xbox infinity. If you didn't know you were either waiting for confirmation, didn't care to know, or didn't want to believe it. 

We knew 12 months ago that the Kinect, TV, and entertainment side of Xbox One was as important to Microsoft as gaming was. It wasn't going to take a back seat to gaming or going to be a secondary feature.

If Microsoft sells the Xbox One to 50 million people, and Sony sells the PS4 to 50 million people, most of those 100 million won't give a damn if the game is 900P. So it's really a non issue honestly

So if you want to believe this current Cboat statement is wrong... go ahead. But it is already kind of true. Whether it goes beyond Xbox One launch titles remains to be seen

Cboat aka mister "pretty much always wrong". Aka Neogaf spokesboy (appropriately,. I suppose, given that forum).

At this point he doesn't even say anything specific anymore, just a bunch of random bile anybody could make up spewed at Microsoft.

I particularly enjoy how upclocks (the opposite of all CBOATS lies about the horrible yields etc) are in there. Like, in some sort of implied negative fashion.

Being faster, clearly a sign of disarray.

He's basically just a paid Sony FUD-bot like all of Neogaf at this point.

Somebody is awfully upset? The truth about the X1 is emerging. Can't wait to see the games running below the levels that were shown at E3 on mega powerful PC's.

Yes, like deep down from the feb event, right? ...

But let's see how it will turn out and of course there were games that were running on actual hardware at e3 but who cares for facts if you have an opinion. Just a few weeks and we will see.

Most people remember him being right. He doesn't have to be 100% correct to be belivable of course.

He's talking about the X1, so i'm pretty sure he's talking about Ryse.

Than he is not believable. I know many want to believe him, I remember the last thread on GAF and how many replies there were happy about what he said... Some really want MS to fail. But whatever, we will see.
