thismeintiel said: So Xbox fans are taking this as a victory, when Killzone would run and/or look worse on their console? I guess you have to take what you can get. Even if you have to twist it sometimes. As someone else said in this thread, "You live by the sword, you die by it." I agree. Just like Xbox fans boasted about superior multiplats last gen, even if the difference was minor, now they have to deal with the bad publicity from inferior multiplats this gen.

C'mon man, that can't ever be proven/disproved. Even the equivalent Sci-Fi FPS for X1 will supposedly run at 60fps at all times and will have to sacrifice image quality. So even Halo won't be a proper comparison. I guess we'll never know....

Epic Twist!

It's still 1080p though. Not Full HD. But 1080p.

That's because Killzone isn't upscaled. It's kinda like the order 1886.

Both games are native resolution, but they're rendering a lot less pixels than 1080p. With the order this is just done for artistic reasons with black bars, but with killzone it's solely to save processing power.

What killzone does is actually kinda cool. Basically if you're standing still, the image is 1920x1080. Fast moving objects however are 960X1080. It essentially applies a motion blur before waisting resources on rendering those objects. It'll look different in a video, but here's just one frame.

What the game does is overlap the current 960X1080 frame with the previous 960X1080 frame. In zero motion areas this would theoretically make a perfect 1920X1080 image, but that's not really happening. There's still some blur and smudges associated with this effect.

It's pretty much just 1080i.

lol its slightly more then 720 but less then 792p

The term 1080p doesn't care about vertical lines. 1080 horizontal lines is technically 1080p. Gran Turismo did the same thing. That's why Sony didn't lie when they said Killzone is 1080p They never said something about 1920x1080 or Full HD. Sure, it's marketing talk and a little fishy. But nevertheless correct. 

Not that I would really care though. I mean, you gotta admit it's a pretty good solution if it takes 3 months for people to get behind it. 

@Joe

I can't reply/quote I'm using opera mini browser on mobile

so that's what that outline blur along the edges is? when you run its a kinda like a minute tunnel vision effect eg giving effect of speed if you know what I mean

what is it actually doing when that specific blur is there,

hard to believe, cause being an avid PC gamer running all my PC games at the highest settings, and then played KZ SF SP and MP , I can easily assure everyone shadow fall is definitely is full HD, ;)

soooo haters gonna hate ?

It won't. Killzone SF MP still looks better than Titanfall Maxed out on PC because of the old engine. That's why I expected Titanfall to run at 1080p 60fps on X1 before they revealed it was 790p

At this rate, Brand new PC builds in less than two years from now. Will be considerably more powerful than the consoles and cheaper than $500/£430 

The screen is broken up into even and odd pixel columns. Killzone renders the even columns for a 960X1080 resolution, and then for the next frame renders the odd columns. Still a 960X1080 resolution, but they're different pixels. It goes back and fourth repeating this over and over.

On screen this causes the current frame and the previous frame to be displayed at the same time. In the picture above can you see the "ghost" red laser on the gun? That is where the laser was in the previous frame. If you zoom in you can actually see how it's every other pixel column.

The real laser looks solid though. There must be some program in place that selectively mixes the two beyond just placing the pixels next to each other. This program stops fast moving objects from looking like ghosts and bleeding together, but it's also the reason for all the visible artifacts in the scene, such as the outline around the gun.
