Seems that M$ found that Blizzard should have been able to hit 1080p. They then helped them get to it. Not sure what the point of this is about. This falls in line with the can't win for hitting 1080p, can't win if you don't. No matte what M$ does, people will complain.

I was just talking to SvennoJ since he had stated that he has a 92" screen. Even 1080p is not needed as much for the general consumer, I usually have a resolution under 1080p ( though over 720p to be exact 1366*768) on my 32" screen and it looks really good.

It's been known for quite a while that MS are nervous about the whole resolution debate... this just confirms it further.

It's not the developers fault, its the hardware thats at fault. They can get it closer but there will always be a tradeoff.

1. I thought graphics didn't matter and 2. How does the lowest install base get to demand shit?

Because the parent company has a lot of throwin' around money.

1. How does this mean they were "forced"?  

This is eveidence that M$ knew that the  XB1 could reach 1080p and they provided help to do so.  

2. How is the game suffering?  It is 1080p and 50+ fps...  Not much suffereing going on here.

Because all of the haters in VG forums have demanded 1080p or they won't buy it.  Like I said, now people are complaining that M$ helped Blizzard achieve 1080p.

Who cares about these consoles hitting 1080p if they can't even maintain a smooth 60 fps? Wasn't that supposed to be the point? 1080p AND 60fps locked? If they can't achieve something I've been able to enjoy on the PC for YEARS, then they might as well stop trying. Diablo III is a superior game on the PC anyway. Why play this on a console??

I tryed for a few minutes in the DF article... I could notice a few less blury spider webs on some walls.

1080p is only a talking point in the console war.
