Not unexpected, other games where they tried to keep both at 1080p (Sniper Elite 3, for instance), the Xbox One exhibits screen tearing and horrible frame rates. You don't get something for nothing, and the expectation that the Xbox One should be able to match the PS4 is unrealistic, given the limitations of it's hardware.

You will see 1080p on the Xbox One version of Destiny...but at the expense of shadow detail and other effects. I have no doubt that Xbox One owners will still have an enjoyable game, it just wont look as good as on the PS4, that's all.


This.

I wish devs would man the F up and give consoles some 'advanced' options that interested users could enter and adjust settings. We have a tiny taste of that with switchable frame-locking on a handful of titles, but what's sorely needed is a resolution option. Particularly for owners of 720P TVs this would be roses.

Imagine Titanfall with a 720p mode that significantly reduced screen tearing and slowdown in the multi-titan battles. Imagine Sniper Elite 3 @ 720p without screen tearing. Etc/infinity. Even Destiny PS4, 720P @ 60FPS 8xAA, or 900P @ 60FPS 4xAA. That kind of thing.

I know they're scared of confusing people, so hide them from the average noob, but let the people with more knowledge have some freaking options.


Well, as a PS4 owner, I am pretty happy with the quality of the games I have been getting...but I would STILL like those options myself!  I would MUCH rather have a solid 60fps, which actually benefits GAMEPLAY, than have fancy particle effects, for instance!

The interesting thing is...there is actually a game on the market that lets you choose between 720p and 1080p on the PS4!  The new Final Fantasy MMO.  Let's hope that more developers follow their lead...both on the PS4 AND on the Xbox One.
