When you use the phrase "system's capabilities" the future is always relevant. It's related to the word potential that references future improved performance.

And even if forza looked like it did at E3 would that really change what we have seen from the xbox one so far. I think everyone's opinion that build still isn't as visually impressive as ryse is. Granted they are different kinds of games.

 

Personally as far as racers are concerned what I have seen from drive club is the most impressive but that, unlike this was delayed in order to perfect. If it came out at launch we would most likely see downgrades in that game as well. MS just felt the need to have this game out at launch and the nerds are making them suffer for it.

I agree with you, the graphics will improve on consoles, that's a given. I'm just calling out those fans who had their heads in the cloud falsely claiming E3 build was actually running on x1 and that was what x1 is capable of at that point. Also those who were back peddling and saying graphics don't matter, gameplay does. That wasn't what they were saying earlier. 

My post was intended to ask whether they still think E3 build was on x1 hardware but I never got a straight answer. 

Gatcha, However that supersedes this article. Which is another reason why this turned into a fan war rather than a discussion.

 

As for your 1080p comment, I'd say thats rather nit picky. 1080p is a number that has proven to not be all it's cut out to be. the 900p ryse looks better than mist of the 1080p games today. Personaly (and I think this also goes for most people), The native reselousin a game out puts has never been an issue. I myself only leared of the excistense of native res when I joined this forum a few weeks ago.

When I moved up console generations, all I knew was "damn, this looks so much better". I leave the technoligy behind it to the guys behind the game. I think it was better when everybody was oblivious to such things. All of a suden if something is 720p it is some how not enjoyable.

For those that must have the best numbers then by all means they should go with what has the best numbers. I don't think those numbers defy the generation at all. 720p versions of last gen's games on x 1 still look far better. it isn't about the native res.

And I think your interpretation of the use of the word ambition, is wrong. I don't think that has anything to do with system power, I think they were talking about kinnect and all the other things they are dowing in ways nobody else is. They have a vision that could fail because it's new and risky and will take lots of hard work to achieve. #Ambition
