IGN mistakenly published a previous side-by-side comparison of Call of Duty: Ghoststhat did not contain the full 1080p native resolution footage of the PS4 version. While IGN confirmed the display output setting on the PS4 was 1080p, the native resolution rendered in the game itself was not 1080p for an unknown reason. The footage was captured on non-retail, development hardware running the final build of the game. After viewing, the retail version on retail hardware, it's clear our old footage was a lower resolution. You can see this difference more clearly in this new video.

Wow I wonder how you can mess this up so bad, the difference is very noticeable now.

I'm trying my hardest I really am and I cannot tell the difference. I'm glad I don't have the pixel counting gift; must cause lots of gray hairs.
 
I don't even get why they are using CoD as a comparison to begin with. I get, the game uses different resolutions on the two systems, but c'mon this is the least "next-gen" game out there. It's a port of a series that has put little to no effort in anything engine or graphically related for the last five years. lol.
 
Isn't IGN owned by Microsoft? Kind of like how Fox News is owned by the Republicans?

& both of them have the same exact gameplay......... Threads like this are pointless and lead no where. PS4 looks sharper and has AA applied, and when you don't have that on the Xbox One ho does that change your game.....


It's honestly not that serious and they still look basically the same. You should just game on the PC if this is all that matters to you. Think about the real reason why you even own a console.........
 
People tend not to notice finer details, I guess I've been blessed with good sight, or that I know what to look at/for.

720p to 1080p is noticeable for me, but of course higher resolutions even more so.

Interesting that I never heard anyone complain about seeing jaggies when broadcast TV has been 480i/p since like forever, and 24fps to boot. ;)

Well do you mean back in the day that everyone had 480i/p TV's or after the event of 720/1080i/p TV's?

I notice image discrepancies on a HDTV when viewing a SD program, don't you?

Single screenshots like above side by side.. yes you can see the differences if you look for them...

When *playing* the game side by side ... not so much...

True story.. crushed blacks also go away (or are severely reduced) when setting to 36 bpp color profile versus the default 24 bpp. (and calibrating the TV) ... Though I've a feeling its default because most TVs may not support that level. Though I have a fairly high end TV.

The quality of your TV and how well its calibrated matters as much in how these units display the output result....

Focus on the ;)

Anyways, the point is that resolution alone means cr@p. Let's look at Ryse at 900P; looks much better than anything on either console at 1080P. If we just compare comparable cross-gen games that offer no differences other than resolution (regardless of reason for that), then yes, higher resolution edges out. Outside of these specific situations, it gets much more difficult to just say higher res is better as it is really about the entire rendered package.

If Ryse had a version with a better resolution and was cleaner all-round, thus something we could compare it to then you'd notice, which would mean resolution means something and is noticeable, bad example on your part.

The only time I have a hard time telling is when I cannot compare them side by side and I mean when playing, but put them side by side and I'd be lying if I said I cannot tell.

I have no crushing black issues myself.

...and just before anyone gets it twisted, I have the X1 version. ;)

...and I can see the PS4 version has the edge, just like I can with BF4.

Pointless conjecture since it is what it is and most likely would not have the poly count nor processing effects at higher resolution at this stage of the game. That COD is only doing 720P shows ineptitude on IW's part by comparison.

You brought up that example, all I said was you can't use it when there's only one version.

Generally speaking and not directing this at any one individual, I never said the X1 was weak because of the lower visual quality either, people should understand that by now.
 
I think MS is betting on people not comparing side by side and thinking the graphics are basically the same...... all while adding snap.... crazy people.
 
I wonder if people who say they can't tell the difference are the same people who can't tell the difference b/w 30fps and 60fps? It's pretty easy to tell the difference to see that the ps4 version is much sharper with less jaggies.

The easiest example for people who can't tell is just to look at the satellite and see how it's a bit blurred and jagged on the xbox, while clear and smooth on the ps4. You can see that easily even without blowing the pics up to full size.

Also, it's not a given that the ps4 version has AA applied to it as there are still some jaggies. The bump in resolution from 720p to 1080p naturally removes some of the jaggies on its own without any AA applied.

I was just stating that resolution is not the be all at all. IQ is a function of overall process. Having higher resolution does not mean higher IQ. That is just the point I am making.

I was laughing at the fact that IGN came out defending their review and comparison footage saying that a dev confirmed to them the review version was running at 1080p after everyone called them out for saying the "difference was noticeable" (both were 720p).

Now they finally admit the comparison footage was wrong. I guess they were looking at it from Sony biased eyes.

The difference will look more noticeable on native 1080p sets.

I have a 24 inch 1080p widecreen monitor and what I see is the PS4 version looks like it has better anti-aliasing. More jaggies on the Xbox One version.

Other than that, they are the same.

Of course, I've always felt this "resolutiongate" was extremely overblown. Nevertheless, I hope IW is able to get it to 1080p on Xbox One either later by patch or by their next game. After all, most of these launch games are noticeably rushed.

Yep. I called that they were lying. Glad I've been proven correct.
 
I'm glad I'm playing this nasty COD in optimal resolution. Can't imagine playing this nasty COD at last gen resolution.
