This all about MS trying to cover the fact that sparingly few X1 games could hit 1080p in the first place. They're just pulling this '4K gaming' stunt to convice people that X1 is the most powerful console on the market

Most Xbone games are 1080p, lol.

 

People don't know that, because there's no GAF/Chartz thread unless the PS4 versions have higher res.

Well... you can start to make a thread for each game on X1 with 1080p, what is stopping you?

I don't care?

Seems you care enough to complain about people not doing it, and that when there is differences people care to show it.

So if you don't care, why not drop it?

No one was complaining, friend. Just correcting someone. Hope that helps :)

One quote says you need a 4K tv to see any benefit and the other quote implies strongly that 1080P with a higher frame rate and improved effects is very possible. Quite different.

The only issue with the quote is your interpretation. The second quote never says "you need 4k TV to see any benefit", rather Phil Spencer said "Scorpio is designed as a 4K console, and if you don’t have a 4K TV, the benefit we’ve designed for, you’re not going to see."

I hope you understand that you will never be able to see 4k graphic on a 1080P tv, sure you might get slightly better graphic and performance from Scorpio on a 1080P TV but it won't be 4K graphic what the console was designed to output.
 



The first is just leaving some flexibility for the developers, while the second is merely an attempt to keep selling xbox1's in the interim.

I'm sure when he pushed to announce the Scorpio this early people had mixed feelings about it given how it could affect sales of the xbox1/slim, so he's steering people in that direction. I've little doubt they'll stop saying that nonsense once the scorpio is out.



Doesn't it have a mode for 1080p 60fps?

The same way you could play Xbox 360 games on 720p TV and CRT TV.



It's getting clear that 4K for Xbox Scorpio is the same as 1080p for Xbox One. It will be possible in some games, but it won't be the standard.
