just wait until microsoft unleashes the 2nd gpu. 5tb xb1 has all been but confirmed, the writing is clearly on the wall.

lol :D

Or maybe 720p isn't so bad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Run8gMVYj2Y


xD Lol of the day.. Thanks!

You know what would have been hilarious? If Microsoft had actually called it Xbox 720, like many people did before the official name was revealed.



"Well certainly with the Xbox 360, we had some challenges at the launch. Once we identified that we took control of it. We wanted to do it right by our customers. Our customers are very important to us." -Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb (10/2013). Note: RRoD was fixed with the Jasper-revision 3 years after the launch of 360

"People don't pay attention to a lot of the details."-Yusuf Mehdi explaining why Xbone DRM scheme would succeed

"Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity; it's called Xbox 360,”-Don Mattrick

"The region locking of the 3DS wasn't done for profits on games"-MDMAlliance

I wonder how graphically killzone shadow fall would have looked if was developed/rendered @900p resolution.. But i guess Sony main agenda was to hit 1080p no matter what.. As for MS i guess it was to look on par or better from PS4 at whatever resolution it might be..

Enjoy.. 

Nice. This is better

u just did not... ok, lets dance.

 

there was more but i guess u got my point.. Even so that Quantum break cut scene running on PC hardware.. shows no sign of it being superior to Infamous.. i.e (Character Model, textures, light maps etc)

Translation: "ESRAM is the handicap probably for now, but a workaround will come. Hardware power of Xbox One is always behind PS4, though and never changes without a complete hardware update [which will of course be impossible without breaking compatibility]. 720p-900p will be the norm. Games will be good though (and that's what matters) they will just struggle more to work on Xbox One."

Not really surprising given the hardware differnces*, but there you have it from a credible source. Seems Microsoft was a bit too frugal when designing the system (weak GPU, cheap RAM). While that doesn't mean the games won't be good or fun, they won't be on par with their PS4 counterparts on a technical level.

*
Xbone: 1.18 TF GPU (12 CUs) for games
Xbone: 768 Shaders
Xbone: 48 Texture units
Xbone: 16 ROPS
Xbone: 2 ACE/ 16 queues

PS4: 1.84TF GPU ( 18 CUs) for games + 56%
PS4: 1152 Shaders +50%
PS4: 72 Texture units +50%
PS4: 32 ROPS + 100%
PS4: 8 ACE/64 queues +300%

Of course none of this is new and it shouldn't come as a shock except to those firmly shielded from reality by a that thing that sounds like a river in Egypt. ;)

Do you understand how consoles work? Thats the specs of the parts off the shelf, what MS and Sony do to them is another story. For all you know is XB1 GPU could have the power of a Nvidea Titan (unlikely) Its called modifiing. Just like a car. A modified Car can outperform a standard car.

Uh Oh. Gameplay alert..... gameplay alert.

 

Oh yeah. I just did. La da da da da DAH. La da da da da DAH.

Gotta love when gameplay looks the same as Cutscene. Exactly the same.

Ha! That would have been epic. Still, the name "ExBone" is kinda growing on me.

What can I say: I don't dislike the idea of having 720p on a game with thousands of hundreds of thousands zombies and 95% of the buildings having indoors.


This has always been my complaint about a lot of gamers.  They focus on one metric and thats it.  There is a lot to a game then the resolution and I believe a lot of people are willing to have a more smoother game that still looks great but also does a lot within the game then having the highest resolution.  The resolution is the carrot for people who cannot enjoy a game for its gameplay.

To be more back on topic if COD is 720p on X1, im going to blame Activision for that not the X1 hardware, the game looks extremely dated.

That's from the footage running on PC though. If you take the challenge, don't cheat.

The particles in Resogun demands even more calculations.

I agree 100%. Iv been gaming on 1080p for the past 4 years and its nothing new. Id rather a game push the bourdarys of the system by adding in more effects etc. I feel sorry for the people willing to buy a console for its power. When both these systems are under par to a decent gaming Rig of today (and the consoles arent even out yet) People talk up the PS3 like it was suppose to blow everything out of the water which it didnt. Im hearing the same stuff again about PS4. Its sad, really sad.

Way too much "Ha Ha", "Lol", "LMAO" and even an unprecedented "La da da da DAH" in this thread. What am I missing?

I'll just toss in a "Skiddle liddle fiddle dee" and leave the thread. Have fun with your mini flame war, guys.
