Nice try.

Titanfall uses a FORWARD RENDERER. There is, by default, no problem here with esram.

And what is the point of your last sentence? We all know neither the PS4,PS3,PS2,PS1 nor the Wii,WiiU uses DX..

Also you do realise PS4 uses DX 11 yes?

Oh my.... where do you get these ideas from? And no, Titanfall doesn't run at 1080p on the XBox One. It has problems maintaining 40fps at 792p with too many Titans on screen. No magic in the world will allow to jump to 1080p given how it performs at 792p at this time.

No, there is not a single line of DX11.x in the PS4. PS4 uses its own HAL (whose structure is close to Mantle from what developers say). The last thing Sony would want to use is an overblown HAL designed for PCs, and then have to pay the licencing fees for it on top of that.
