| eyeofcore said: Reason why Battlefield 4 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is not running at 1080p is because it is a cheap port of PC version, a down port with little to no low level optimizations so it is running on high level API rather than slimmed down, more streamlined versions that don't have certain code path that is not used at all... |
Nah, it's not running on a high-level API, performance would be worse.
It is running on a low-level API, how well the engine is geared specifically towards GCN remains to be seen, but that could be a big limiter, Frostbite after-all is designed for multiple cross-generational platforms and thus GPU and CPU architectures, so I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't using all of the PS4's and Xbox One's nuances in regards to GPU hardware.
