It would be nice if we got the choice to have black borders instead of upscaling. 1600x900 is fine, but leave the other 17% black or put the hud there. That was common practice in the old days. Like this:

That's a play area of 1670x920, avoids the softness that upscaling adds.

Good.

Great graphics and a smooth framerate at 720p-900p > inferior graphics/framerate at 1080p.

My god. The paranoia and delusions some of you have lol

Witcher 3 could run at 720p on your precious 1080ps4 and still be the most technically impressive game on it by a mile so how about you all calm your tits and stop going on and on about "omg parity clause! Pathetic! Disgusting! MS forcing shitty PS4 version!" just because CD is saying 1080p is PROBABLY out of reach for this IMMENSELY GORGEOUS (in case yall forgot), huge ass game.

Seriously. Dafuq is wrong with people this gen

People saying parity clause I doubt it. Witcher 3 is an absolute monster and its going to be difficult as hell to get it 1080p. I still hope PS4 can manage it but there is no game on console yet even close to it. I mean its a massive open world and it looks like this

Since Microsoft are their partner, it smells party clause

Every game can get 1080p on Xbox One and PS4 but it takes time.
Swear to god it's like people forget that games have budgets. If they spent more time on the game it can get 1080p but that means more money.


it's also a price of multiplatform development, they'll never squeeze as much out of these systems as exclusives. always been that way

 

Question is, how much will I have to tone down to get it to run 1080p/60fps on my PC...

witcher 2 wasn't all that well optimized

Witcher 2? Shit Witcher 1 has terrible optimization, swear to god can't even get it to run at medium settings at 30 fps. Yet I can get Skyrim to run on High with no framerate drops.

If this comes out under 1080 p on PS4 and with the exact same resolution as XOne there will be so much parity clause beeing shoutted around...


And it would be justified

Yes because two games at the same resolution automatically means parity. That explains why so many here find 1080p Driveclub better looking than 1080p Horizon 2.

Until we actually have an example of a PS4/Xbone game like Witcher or COD running with the exact same resolution, framerate, and graphical quality across both platforms, this "parity clause" nonsense is a conspiracy theory with no more standing than claims we didn't land on the moon or the CIA created HIV.

We will see then ( well i think we already had such games but we can say lazy developers or not talented, but it wontb e possible with such talented developers ) , if there is no technical differences, we will know it's because of parity obviously)



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

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

COD/Witcher/etc will not have the same graphics and performance across PS4/Xbone. No multiplat so far has, except maybe stuff so undemanding that both consoles breeze through it.
