Forums - Gaming - Killzone ShadowFall Multiplayer runs at only 960 x 1080 resolution

GamechaserBE on 03 March 2014

960 or 1080 or 360 the game is not good so why care what resolution it is? In a few years people will pick this game up and don't understand people could spend on money it.

Am I the only one that the 960x1080 doesn't make sense to at all D: I mean... this totally sounds like a splitscreen mode in terms of resolution...

I'm also pretty confused about this. It's a very weird resolution to go with but I will trust Eurogamer unless they're proven wrong.

Might be so they can say it runs at 1080p, since technically it does have 1080 vertical lines of resolution running progressively. It's just not the real 1920x1080.

Not directed at this game in particular, but I wanted 1080@60 to be the standard this gen :( ...Oh well, not that big of a deal I guess.

Now, there are some mitigating factors here. Shadow Fall uses a horizontal interlace, with every other column of pixels generated using a temporal upscale - in effect, information from previously rendered frames is used to plug the gaps. The fact that few have actually noticed that any upscale at all is in place speaks to its quality, and we can almost certainly assume that this effect is not cheap from a computational perspective.


Probably because the GDDR5 is fast enough to do this kind of magic without affecting quality?

I think you are mistaken, it is 1080 pixels in each vertical line, not 1080 vertical lines. But your point stands, it is "technically" 1080p.

They should have gone with 1080p @ 30fps imo.

haha, I thought it was "embarrassing that a next gen console couldn't do full 1080p" and now The Order and this and many more games will not be full HD ps4 games. I hope this will put an end to these annoying endless arguments about frame rates and resolutions, but this gen PS fans will keep gloating how their games look so much better than X1 games. To be fair to them, xbox fans were very arrogant last gen about third party games being better on their console so I guess these arguments will never end.


What is really embarassing, and people seem to dont understand that,  is paying $100  more for a less powerful hardware when the other console $100 cheaper has the best versions of the games, then you have the possibility to get a better version of the games for a better price. So no, obviously, having a better framerate or  better resolution, better everything( yes, people are to focused on these 2 things whereas there is many others technical aspects) for a better price will always be a thing, and that's the way it should be, that makes sense if you're a smart gamer. Why pay more to get less when you can get more for less ?

Do you make room for the possibility that some people care about games more than pixel counting?

Do you make room for the possibility that the people who care about games are enough smart to also care about having better versions for the best price.
But if you care about the exclusives, this is an other story ( even if the console is still too expensive , it's not like if the price could be justified by more exclusive games, at the contrary)



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

GG got away because of this kind of technique. Using frames from previous ones to blend on to the other blank ones. It only means that if this technique is use by a lot more devs and perfected, more devs are going to be able to finally cheat their way to 1080p and 60fps without a lot of people noticing the difference.

 

I think it is genius to be honest considering a lot of devs don't have the resources of 1080p assets from previous gen(japan games mainly).

A lot of people choose their consoles based on the exclusives. That's why games like Halo, Gran Turismo and Mario Kart move systems.

Oh yeah, I could have worded that better.

People should wait if exclusives are more important for them, until an exclusive Halo  then, especially knowing a price cut will come very soon.

Maybe they enjoy Forza or Dead Rising?
