| Aerys said: Like he said, its not about COD, its about Microsoft and the xbox one being less powerful than the PS4 for $100 more with real differences in games. ( what most of people didnt believe, when there will be facts, they wont be able to deny it anymore) It would be very bad for microsoft and they are in partnership, this is why activision is trying hard to improve that, Xbox one reputation depends on this big game and everyone is looking at the resolution now, so they could make sacrifices on other things while people are not looking and focusing on the resolution ( maybe not the frame rate). |
First part of the reply has nothing to do with my post he quoted.
Xbox One can be $100 more expensive, IW will still drop frame rate last.
Xbox One can be less powerful, IW will still drop frame rate last.
Xbox One can be harder to develop on, IW will still drop frame rate last.
Who are these people ("everyone") who are now looking at resolution? Hardcore gamers? GAF? If you went by these people, CoD would sell 10 copies a year. Activision is not worried about these people. They're worried about the millions of others who buy CoD and don't care about resolution. What would be worse to those people? A bunch of people complaining about resolution on the Internet, or an actual frame rate issue with their game that they will notice every single time they play? Is there suddenly this huge shift towards being all about resolution that wasn't there last year, the last time there was a sub-HD CoD release? No. The difference is now we have GAF making a big stink.
I don't see why they'd exchange one "bad" technical feature (720p) for an even worse one to the franchise (30 FPS). Especially when none of the CoD games this last gen were 720p. And there is also the fact that the PS4 footage shown looks terrible. If they dropped the frame rate to hit 1080p, then the trolls would go on about how the game runs at 60fps on PS4 and 30 or whatever on Xbox One. They can easily slap 1080p on the back of the box (upscaled) and be fine with it. I call BS on the entire reputation of Xbox One resting on the shoulders of a cross gen, multiplatform 3rd party title as well. Not when you have games like Forza, Ryse, and Dead Rising 3 launching right alongside it.
