The Xbox One’s pre-launch resolution fallout has become a topic of heated debates around the internet. What began as an isolated plague that had only affected Battlefield 4 now appears to have become a widespread issue for a majority of Xbox One launch titles. Last week, we brought you news of Bungie’s Destiny possibly running at a sub-1080p on the Xbox One in its alpha phase, based on the words of a tester.

It appears that the latest entrant in Ubisoft’s popular franchise, Assassin’s Creed, suffers a similar fate on Microsoft’s next-gen console. During the latest episode of his weekly show, Annoyed Gamer, game journalist Marcus Beer briefly talks about a visible difference between the two next-gen console versions of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. According to him, the Xbox One version looks “fuzzier” and “strained”, while the PS4 version looks “sharper”, “crisper”, and has “better draw distances”.

Unsurprisingly, the choice of words Beer used to describe the game’s resolution, or lack thereof, is quite similar to that of Destiny’s alpha tester.

Furthermore, former IGN editor Jeremy Conrad claims to have heard similar rumors regarding Assassin’s Creed IV’s native resolution on the Xbox One.

   Sounds like AC4 is sub-1080 on Xbox One as well.

      AC4 resolution isn't confirmed, btw. Just a rumor.

Here we go again...

I read about it before - I think the source was at b3d. Still not surprising given MS doesn't have their tools ready currently.

Tagging, this should be good lol but not as good at the COD one

this is actually from more than once source. Jeremy Conrad and annoyed gamer are the sources in the article. i think this was expected though.

that was a 1k glory thread. this one wont even come close.

Na this kind of thing is accepted now. what would be news is if and when the xbox one versions of the multi plats are native 1080

This is probably gonna be the first console that gets trolled and pounded on to no limits but still ends up selling quite well.

Oh boy, here we go again!!!!!

What I'm not getting is why are all these cross platform games not getting 1080p? Battlefield 4 I understand since the graphics on the Xbox One and PS4 resemble the PC version rather than the last gen versions, but Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed 4 which look like nothing more than cross gen ports?
