I managed to convert my best friend on 360 to PC, he was a typical dude bro but he has heard about the initial DRM and 720p scandals. He now games on an alienware rig. I don't think it will have major impact to the general audience/casual crowd immediately but what word of mouth will do in future we will have to wait and see.


I wouldnt blame it on Launched rush games.

 

As the generation goes on, Games will get improved graphics and special effects. So even if Xbox dev tools improve a bit, the games will continue to get more taxing. 

I have a feeling they will mostly be 720p-900p on Xbox One.

That Amazon cancellation option. lol!

I'm really hoping I'll have the money and time to get one at launch. At least this helps my chances since I lack a pre order.


But seriously I doubt more than 100 people canceled because of this news.

People cancelling their pre-orders because of Cod need to get their priorities checked.

you gto to be a stupid gamer to cancel your preorder cause the launch games are rushed and don't meet the 1080p. Seriously what have gamers become. What happened to simply enjoy a game regardless on how it looks.?


In the same logic you can ask what the future holds iif games are showing this much difference in multiplats at launch already. PS4 can do it at launch, why not xbox one? 

Its not being a stupid gamer, but rather being a smart consumer with standards. $500 for a console which doesn't garantee 1080p is not justified the price, $300 maybe. 

 
You can say xboxone full potential will be unlocked later when the devs familiarised themselves with the system but that goes for the PS4 too. 


Because there is a very good chance it has nothing to do with power and everything to do with the ESRAM and it being harder on developers.

How is it DICE can have BF4 look better, have more players on screen, have destructible enviornments, have vehicles, and run at the same resolution as COD Ghosts?

IMO Ghosts runs at 720P because of IW and ESRAM. Not because the console isn't powerful enough. If next year comes and we still see the same thing then there is an issue.

Hmm this sounds very familiar to me..oh yeah i remember, "Who needs HD, i'm happy with my standard television". This was said by many when HD and Bluray was introduce. Games are like any other media you want the best quality out there this includes resolution, gameplay, etc. When many people order the X1 which is considered a "Next Gen" console they expect it to perform like a next gen console. Its like buying a damn bluray movie but it cant play in 1080p.

I remember when PS3 came out multiplats couldn't match 360 quality but the more they got the hang of the cell the better looking were the multiplats. I have a feeling that because PS4 is easyier to program for it's easyier to achieve 1080 target but that advantage won't hold for too long and multiplats will be at parity soon enough. When I see launch games like Ryse and Forza 5 I fail to understand how fanboys people can judge X1 with less pretty games like COD...

All this crying over pixels is fucking pathetic.


I think most of the crying is over those $500 for a 720p console.
