IGN admits that their pre-release COD Ghost footage wasn't 1080P.

Yep. I called that they were lying. Glad I've been proven correct.

But your also wrong because you said that the shots IGN had previously where of 1080P and 720P even though it was obvious they were not, now heres your proof.

No I didn't.
 
I said two things:

1 - the media they showed looked nearly identical, and anyone claiming otherwise is clearly wrong/biased...
2 - There was not proof that the media from both was truly 720p... And that much was true when I stated it.

Now, both my remarks have been validated/proven true.
 
Even at 720p the PS4 version had less jaggies and the color temperature was different.

IW tried to gimp the PS4 version to give consumers a similar look and even at that point people could see the differences.
 
I'm glad I'm playing this nasty COD in optimal resolution. Can't imagine playing this nasty COD at last gen resolution.

s*** sandwich or s*** sandwich a la mode?

Isn't IGN owned by Microsoft? Kind of like how Fox News is owned by the Republicans?

Ziff Davis.

IGN has no control over what resolution a game renders at. Though it is absolutely hilarious to note their claims and them sticking to their guns after evidence was put forth, only to concede now.

False.

That's psychosematic, nothing more. It absolutely was not any less aliased.

This is a joke right?

It's actually evident, sorry if that upsets anyone.

The gimp is my assumption, the rest is evident by watching the two side by side.

Edit: Also to explain something before everyone attacks IGN.

“Call of Duty: Ghosts runs natively at 1080p on the PlayStation 4. There was a configuration issue in the retail version on single player mode only. This has been addressed with a day one software update. People will be able to download the day one update when PlayStation 4 launches in their territory and play at native 1080p.”

Edit 2: Watch the video here this is the IGN video review when the SP was 720p on both platforms, you can see the PS4 has less aliasing and color temp is different as I said.

Even at 720p the PS4 version looks nicer.

Edit 3: I just remembered something which could make my earlier post be further misunderstood and thought I better clarify.

When I said IW tried to gimp the PS4 version, I did not mean the development was intentionally gimped, I meant with "a configuration issue" which is quoted in red.

I'm not trying to push that IW intentionally made the game 720p for both systems in development, it's known the game is 1080p native on the PS4 but my gimp remark was in regards to the timing of how the PS4 version was only outputting @ 720p like its cousin at the time when the two were being reviewed.

PS4 version of BF4 looks slightly better, but the online net code is much worst than Xbox one ( I owned a Ps4)

Same goes for Nba2k and others. Also currently Xbox One had some exclusive titles that PS4 didn't. Dead Rising 3 is a blast to play and PS4's only exclusive Knack and Killzone I didn't like at all.

Games are king and I currently say that the Xbox One is a better system because of it. I actually think Ryse is cool and looks much better than any game I owned on the Ps4.

Color temp different between the two: correct. One having less aliasing than the other: wrong. Seeing things A7?

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.

I have a 1152p 23" monitor and I can see that in addition to more AA, the PS4 also looks more crisp and sharp evidenced by the ODIN satellite.
 
I think it's obvious that PS4 version has the edge.....a very very slight edge though, it's not like a big difference, barely noticable if you're not looking out for it.

1. The resolution was identical, but you refused to admit it.

2. Completely false. Any competent examination of the pixels determined they were both 720p. Beyond3d and neogaf called it within hours of the video going live. Even kb and I both said they were both 720p and you continued to deny it.

You refused to admit they were both 720p while using their obviously same resolution as an excuse to claim "almost nobody can tell the difference". It was impossible for anyone to tell the diff. between 720p and 1080p in that vid in the first place because they were both 720p. That's outrageously illogical, convoluted, and contradictory, rivaling Astro himself.

That was also the thread where you blatantly declared someone's opinion was "false", then later wrote a tortured textwall to pretend you didn't.

What's sad about all this is you probably know how contradictory, broken, and illogical your claims are, but you're doing it on purpose for whatever reason. Nobody is going to buy more of your company's products because of your or astro's broken logic, falsehoods, and denial.

1. I think you linked to the wrong video. The one you linked to doesn't show both running at 720p... that said, I have seen the video of them both running at 720p, and they look identical.

2. The color temp is noticeable, but the aliasing is identical. You're simply wrong/incorrect to suggest otherwise - factually. It's how the Beyond 3D folk were able to tell they were running at the same resolution, and IGN was simply lying.

When they both ran at 720p, there was only one noticeable difference - coloring. Aliasing was identical. To suggest otherwise simply exposes your bias, and weakens your credibility.
 
Not that it's case anymore post patch, and it's weird that the conversation is even still on this, but the aliasing edges were an exact match in that first footage. User kb posted an upclose gif of the edges and you could literally hand count them and see they were the same and matched up.
 
The resolution wars are so comical. It makes such a "huge" difference but supposedly not enough for them to notice the mistake they made.

I can easily tell the difference. Although I've been gaming at 1080p on computers for how many years now so anything less looks like poo.
 
I thought Ziff Davis owned IGN.

And even if they were owned by MS:
-They proved their opinion can be perfectly swayed by the power of suggestion.
-The fact that the footage was actually 720p isn't their fault, they cannot control the rendering resolution of a game. That is on IW/Activision.
-What do they gain by displaying their ignorance and then getting ridiculed for it?

I am seeing things, the differences are there, I'm not saying they're night and day but they're there and that is what this is all about, some people obviously can't see things.

That is the weakest argument I've ever read coming from you and wished you'd not try to play that BS bias card, especially considering I own the X1 version.

http://au.ign.com/articles/2013/11/13/day-one-patch-brings-cod-ghosts-single-player-to-1080p-on-ps4

The video is both of them running side by side, try to pay attention to rounded objects, from the guns to the Odin satellite even, try full screening the video for a start and maybe consider making the video HD res and not 480p.

If you can't see that then your eyes need checking.

No. No difference in edges. I have it at 1080P on an IPS display and have been a CG artist with a history of picking up single stray pixels. Aside from camera being at slightly different angles at times thus creating differing edges at certain side by side moments, it is the same when you have the cutscenes, they are identical aside from color variations that highlight pixel edges differently at times. But again, the aliasing and anti-aliasing used is more identical than different. Now if you think that the color output is different, the you'd be correct for most scenes.

No, the PS4 version now has the more stable netcode after last weeks patch, according to most people on the battlefield forums.

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.

They basically confirmed their bias.

What's worse, those that can't see a difference, or those that see a difference where there is none?

It's a given fact that the turds will be shinier, this generation, the PS4 will have the shiniest turds of all.

Hahaha... just caught this... yep, it's really, really funny. They talk about what a big difference it makes in the videos (when there's virtually no perceptible difference, other than color)... granted, the real difference is definitely noticeable, and I hope in the future the delta is smaller or eliminated across multi-plat games, but IGN lost a great deal of my respect with their obviously biased reporting. Very, very sad day for them.
