Azzanation said: Either its a false rumour and just a bunch of fanboys spreading there lies or that the developers got lazy again with the X1 version of the game and are just porting the game across to the X1 without proper optimisation. If this continues and MS have to keep putting them inline by helping them, then I hope these companies fold. They don't deserve anybody's money if they plan on screwing over some of there fans who game on different systems. If your going to go multiplat then at least try your best. Stop with these half-assed ports. Especially when its proven there's not much difference between the 2 systems. I can sort of understand if this was the Wii U. |
Uhh.
(1)- This thread was started based on some unfounded rumors. Basically it's all but confirmed that the XB1 version is 900p with some further visual options lowered in order to meet 30fps. In that way, this thread should probably get a mod edit to the title and be locked, but perhaps they're waiting for the official article about it to come out. It's no mystery now, people can pixel count, and raw images from X1 show it to be ... ugly, but at least it's not 720p.
(2)- MS has only been able to 'help' with games that are graphically weak anyway. Destiny = cross gen game started on gen7 consoles. Diablo 3 = don't make me laugh. 1080p for X1 is only reachable with undemanding titles. That's just the way it is. If Microsoft was able to get everything to 1080p, don't you think they would? Do I have to list all the X1 exclusives that aren't 1080p? Ryse, Dead Rising, Sunset Overdrive, etc. Oh, and then the absolute slew of multiplats. Just wait for Far Cry 4, COD:AW, Batman, Witcher 3, and Assassin's Creed, every single one of them will be sub-1080p on X1.
What you have to accept is that 'doing their best' by the X1 is still going to result in a degraded product graphically. It doesn't mean the game won't be fun. For some people graphics don't make that much difference, while for others it really helps.
As for 'there's not much difference between the 2 systems', that's just ridiculous. The hardware difference is rather substantial in terms of memory and graphics capability, and I'm not going to pollute the internet further by repeating it for the 53 billionth time. It amounts to roughly a 40-50% gap in horsepower, and guess what? That usually translates to 40-50% more pixels being pushed on more demanding PS4 multiplats. Big surprise, eh? If you, or anyone else doesn't think that matters, that's fine. Hell that's great. Have fun either way, that's what it's all about. But it can't be denied that it exists.
If I had a 32" 720p TV, I wouldn't care. But I don't, I can easily see the difference between native 1080p, and upscaled content. BF4 PS4 looks ... kind of bad actually on a decent screen. I don't want anything to do with 900p, 792p, etc. PROVIDED there is an alternative. Sometimes there is, and sometimes there isn't. A good enough game is worth playing even if the graphics are a bit muddy and blurry, but it's even better when it's NOT degraded because of slower hardware.
