Long time no see everyone. I went to post this at TXB and wondered where the heck the community went. (what happened to TXB??)

There is a massive thread over at GAF. Several well known "insiders" are stating the Xbox One version of CoD is going to be locked at 720p. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=702055

Has anyone here heard anything about this? GAF is melting down right now.
 
Yeah i have been posting about this ridiculous rumour in the Xbox One thread. It is goddamn ridiculous and i wouldn;t call those insiders well known at all. From what i understand is that they have had plenty of wrong predictions and simply bulls*** in the past, but GAF at it up and it spread like wildfire. Like the yield issues bulls***, and now apparently a crashing and faulty OS in the Xbox One. Funny thing i never read about it, and i check several forums and sites, yet GAF of course knows all about it, lmao. Then you got a moderator or two intentionally teasing and what not..and everybody seems to think it's a fact or at least..the majority seems to hope its a fact.

Long story short...a game like CoD ghosts that truly looks like s***, i mean watch the PS4 footage on IGN, has current-gen written all over it, yet it can't be more than 720p on Xbox One? LOL. Sure it is curious that even though CoD is really an MS 'thing' we haven't seen the gam running on Xbox One yet, to my knowledge. And we do get a full week of PS4 footage on IGN and for some reason the IGN guy keeps saying 1080p PS4 in his tweets.
 
Yeah I'm going to go with no one will care what resolution this game is running at. Final answer.

Does it matter? It is still going to sell a gazillion copies, and besides, it looks like crap in whatever resolution it is.

Well....it does matter. Look...i don't give a crap about CoD, but if they cant even get that sucker 1080p...that is worrying. Worrying for other upcoming third and first party games and to be fair....except for Forza 5, all the exclusives are not hitting 1080p. Maybe the devs did that intentionally so they can implement other things, i don't know..but still. It would be really bad if Ubi's AC4 is 1080p on PS4 and 720 on X1. How noticeable the differences would be is unknown yet, but it would be pretty bad. Didn't MS more or less promise during E3 that Halo 5 would be 60fps? But they didn't say anything about resolution, right?
 
GAF has been both right and wrong in the past. I've been posting over there for years and followed the "insider" tips long enough to know that the specific posters in question have been right many times. The mod in question is solid ... it wasn't so much "teasing" as it was an "oh s***" reaction after he verified the information via PM's.

With that said I was curious to see if a more Xbox centric forum had heard anything about this stuff. I used to post on TXB religiously. Was really sad to go to the old board and see it filled with autobots =(

Oh...all i saw was one mod indeed saying..oh s***, going to bed now, closing my fallout chamber extra tight, or something. All the folks there saw it as confirmation it seems, but i really cant make anything of that reply. If this is true, i expect it to become real news pretty soon.
 
I like how there was a thread dedicated to how s***ty the PS4 version of CoD looked (it looked like the BF4 360 beta), then it turns into an Xb1 CoD is 720p thread.

Makes sense.
 
Yeah I agree the PS4 footage on IGN looked pretty bad for a next gen game...
 
Or maybe he can't give a answer because hes not from Infinity Ward? Ever though of that? Gamefaqs is too ridiculous to think about logic.
Gamefaqs? Surely you mean another forum?

Either way...i don't know man. They let IGN confirm...almost stress that the PS4 version is 1080p and Penello cant just go out an say...it will be 1080p on Xbox One too? You could be right though, it's possible that he really doesn't know or isn't allowedto say so. But he had to give an answer, might as well just say it looks amazing i guess. Of course the folks on that other forum are seeing this as confirmation...which it really ain''t.
 
The game is probably gold by now. Wasn't all the console footage so far from the xb1 version? Gaf has a crack team of pixel counters that would have caught a resolution difference that large you would think.
 
Albert can't say anything unless IW has confirmed it publicly. Same reason why no one can talk about BF 4 numbers.

Yeah but its still an odd situation. I mean...CoD really has become something for Xbox, really important. Those timed exclusivity deals they had and what not, you'd think Acti and IW let a media source like IGN confirm the great news first about Xbox One...and later on about PS4?
 
I don't know this resolution thing proof...You can have a game at 1080p looking like crap because cranking pixels at that res can't use any AA or other effects. You can see it comparing KZ vs Ryse. There's always something to fuel the war without knowing the full systems specs.
 
Yeah I think someone just made up a stupid rumor since IGN released ps4 being 1080p tonight just to laugh at the meltdown. I've seen it all just like about Dead Rising 3 going to xbox 360 few weeks back...
 
So... what is the take home on all of this?

Are they suggesting that the Xbone version will look s***tier than the PS4 version that we just saw, that looked absolutely jacked and definitely not the 90fps monster "insiders" were claiming before.
 
Yeah i guess, but still pretty goddamn ridiculous if true. Could mean quite bad things for other third party games on Xbox One. Would surprise me if we're gonna see resolution differences right from launch, it would surprise and well...ain[t gonna lie...sadden me a little too. I dont like Penello's response though, i see little reason why he wouldn;t be allowed to confirm it for their system too.
 
Famous has an update on GAF and his source is garbage and then he says he doesn't believe it. I'm on my phone but someone post it.

It makes me think he is a Sony shill trying to spread fud.

Yeah that is true also, I rather see footage of xbox version before really carrying about resolution. I mean Ryse looks pretty damn good and its not 1080p. Not like resolution is the king of the crop.
 
Supposely Titanfall is only 720p also. Either way I don't really care, I hate graphic whores... Titanfall looks pretty damn good to me in trailers I seen, so I could careless what resolution it is. IMO gameplay > graphics anyways. DA Origins was one of my favorite games last gen and that game looked like crap for current gen.

I want two sources on anything I post here or talk about on my podcast but this I really, really wanted two sources on. And there's a few wrinkles to it as well which are interesting (if they are true). I just cannot say whether it's true or not and this is obviously a huge f***ing deal. Sales are at stake. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if MS put a goddamn hit out on me.

Anyway, this is the rumor. And it's thin. It's f***ing thin. To be completely honest I don't believe it. I mean... it's just weird. Anyway - supposedly Activision is doing a controlled environment review process that only huge ass games can get away with. What I heard was you got to chose a version.... either xbox one or PS4 and you didn't get to see the other one. You then go in and play it at their setup for a certain number of hours and that's it. Someone who saw the Xbox one version claims it's 720p.

Did this person count pixels? Is this known info they are telling people? Is it upscaled? I don't know the answers to any of these questions. It doesn't even make sense to me... CoD is a pretty s***ty looking game, why in the hell could it not run at 1080p? I feel like if they took the time they could get the 360 version at 1080p if they wanted to... the engine is older than me. But, that's what was said.

It's impossible to get a second source because everyone is, obviously, under NDA. No one wants to get blacklisted by Activision.


And now for my opinion....

Driveclub being delayed I was pretty damn certain on. It wasn't a flimsy rumor like this. But the one thing that I'm noticing here is that the non-responses are the same. I was nervous about the driveclub thing because I was out here by myself with some random ass site I never heard of (kudos to them for being right though) and if the info ended up being wrong I was going to look like a huge a******. Each non-answer given made me feel better about being right.

If the game is running at 1080p there's no reason to give non-answers. That's not info you want to hide. So looking at it from this angle - the rumor exists and non answers are given - I feel like that gives credence to the rumor.

But... but... but...! I've been right about a lot of s***. I should have never teased this because this rumor is f***ing flimsy. More flimsy than PS4 in October which the entire internet believed. I'm not saying it's true. I expect 900p to be honest. That's a guess. I don't know. I do know there is a lot of chatter about the xbox struggling to hit 1080p.

Also, why the f*** not, Titanfall has been rumored to be targeting 720p on the xbox one as well. I'm sure that probably came up in this thread already by someone... but, yeah, that rumor seems more solid than this CoD one.

yeah it's definatley a flimsy rumour ... but still. Why isn't MS PR immediately coming out to deny? I guess it will be even a bigger megaton if the rumour is proven false.
