Another day, another bashing thread I suppose... I'd rather play these games at 900p than wait for them indefinitely. I'd rather they go with customization and coop multiplayer than single player only with no replay value in the long run... yep gotta know your priorities. Content > resolution.


I agree that these silly resolution comparisons need to stop. They are worthless, especially when talking about exclusives like this one.

Current and future XBox owners obviously didn't purchase their console because of resolution. They prefer multiplayer shooters to single player cinematic experiences.

They prefer their exclusive franchises, regardless of resolution. A few pixels here and there do not lessen their enjoyment of those games.

They prefer entertainment apps, snap feature, achievements etc. so they don't mind playing an inferior version of a multiplatform game.

They enjoy having exciting new TV shows such as Halo and Every Street United, they are willing to trade off some plug and play capabilities.

Those who were not willing to make that trade off have moved on to other gaming devices.

So no amount of arguing about an insignificant peculiarity like a slightly lower resolution or framerate will all of a sudden make them abandon all those preferences. And that is very comendable.

It would be a very sad world if all of us liked the same thing. That's why there are choices in life, and we all try to choose what's best for us given the possibilities and preferences.

Don't really care. The game looks very good for me.

Bolded = great thinking... I'm not sure about the rest of your post though. Is it so bad playing on X1? Maybe I'm blind... I played a lot of the other platforms except for WiiU and yep, I'm fine with what I have and I'm not trying to downplay anything the others have...

You mean like if resolution was the end all of games we'd all be playing on PC right now?

When did i ever say differently? It's you who tried to compare two completely unrelated things, not me ^^ The WoW example was just to illustrate why your other comparison of two different games with different goals based on nothing but content is idiotic.

Your original comment was pretty amusing though. You criticized this as being a "bashing thread" and then proceeded to bash on something else :P

is the game going to be fun? YES

will the 900P 30FPS hurt the gameplay NO (although this is the kind of game that actually gets an advantage at 60FPS, but i have no problem with it because it is not as fast paced as Bayonetta, ZOE, Vanquish, or a racing game)

the thing that surprise me is that this isn't a very demanding game in terms of visual fidelity (don't get me wrong it looks great but it doesn't have a realistic type of visuals like Ryse or Infamous), and it doesn't look like it has a lot of characters in screen like Dead Rising, so i don't get why it cant have the 60FPS or a higher Frame-rate... that's what surprises me.

Don't get me wrong, all I'm saying that for every choice there is some kind of a trade-off. And everyone should choose which side of a trade-off they want to be, what they are willing, and what they're not willing to accept. I was just giving those examples as trade-offs currently in play when opting for one choice. Nothing more. I do believe the examples are correct, I tried to remain factual.

Yep sometimes you have to use violence to counter violence ;)

My comment originaly refered to countless comparisons with another game that SO "copied". It's always the same idiotic comments that lead to another idiotic comment... am I right? People talk about their preferences in games, resolution seems to have taken the better of a lot of people as I don't see people bragging about less content in their games but more about not achieving a certain resolution.

I don´t really understand what you are saying. You do know that Ryse runs at 900p right? So there are no concessions to reach 1080 since it´s never run at that resolution. Same goes for SO, they go for 900p, not to make concessions in order to get it to 1080p.

It made concessions to look as good as it does, but still loses to a game on ps4 that is vastly more open, and runs at 1080p and higher frame rate, several ps4 games in fact.

They sure made concessions to be 900p and not 720p, but let's just ignore it.

Moare Secret souce, put some Secret Souce in the Cloud nw lets do it. The One has got by my calculations a 700% power boost already with the new dev kit + DirectX12 + no kinect + PR spins its better than a 1000$ PC already.

Now beeing serious it doesnt matter the game will be super fun. Sony side needs to drop the resolution comparision crap and MS side needs to drop the "XOne has got a 20000000% power boost now that we added this new sproket to the XOne therell be parity now crap"

Awesome!!!! Another resolution thread. This game is going to suck now that it is only 900p. I was totally going to buy it if was 1080p. Now it is the worst game ever. I love playing the resolution in games!!!
