So you believe MS paid him to overrule the reviewer's opinion, that's shared by others outside of Polygon mind you, putting the site's entire reputation on the line, and risking losing everything, in order to have it written that the Xbox One version is preferred over the PS4 version. That's what you're saying?
The game having bad framerate in either version has nothing to do with the hardware and everything to do with this s***ty game and it's s***ty engine and it's s***ty developer.

When you type it out like that, it all sounds so ridiculous. Clearly, MS didn't ask him to ignore or override the reviewer's opinion, just to have the professional courtesy to publish the review that MS has prepared for them verbatim.
I'm not implying he took cash for this review but MS has paid him before.
In regards to COD:G on consoles altogether, none of these guys has shown me where the game dips and IGN has said the PS4 looks better and has the odd minor hiccup, very different than Polygon's comments about their imagination thinking it may have looked better on PS4, kinda loses credibility to say s*** like that imo.
Again, not saying he/Poly took money from MS, don't misunderstand, just not really agreeing with this review for COD:G.
looks the same and the guy said the brightness was turned up on the xbox version
Is it just me, or is the brightness always turned up in every xbox game (well aside from that crushing blacks episode)? Seems odd...
Gee I don't know...Gies is Reviews Editor for LOLygon?
Professional gaming "journalists" and reviewers who can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p, or say the difference isn't worth discussion, or lofl even worse that 720p looks better than 1080p. You just can't take any of that seriously. Last gen, a few lines of resolution would tilt the favor of reviews one way or another. Now, 2x the resolution is negligible.
Crazy pills. I feel like I've taken them.
So you're not agreeing with it because of what? IGN echoed the frame rate drops. Other reviews, as posted in this thread, have selected the Xbox One as the console of choice for CoD: Ghosts. And, you not agreeing with this review based on what? What basis are you using to disagree with the review?I'm not implying he took cash for this review but MS has paid him before.

And his $ from MS has nothing to do with this. Call upon that all you want. It's meaningless reaching and is nothing more than an attempt to discredit a review because people don't agree with it.
they already took 700,000 dollars from MS i doubt they care about their reputation.
$700,000 is meaningless when you're talking about a website that makes substantial money and has a rather large, paid staff for a video game website.
IGN also said PS4 is the choice to go for if graphical fidelity is important to you and indicated that the FPS were minor hiccups that won't disrupt the gameplay.
I don't know yet. Still a lot of mixed reviews coming in for both versions. Just buy the one on your preferred console of choice, once again.
And what does that tell you? Neither one is head or shoulders above the other and the resolution difference is rendered meaningless all things considered, or at the every least, not as big of an issue as others have made it out to be last week. Get it for whatever system you're getting and don't base a console purchase on what seems to be a massively dated engine that isn't friendly to neither next gen console.
700,000 means nothing now, but i doubt they had the money to start up polygon without the 700,00
I swear it looks like that in every single comparison video. I also notice stuff missing in the xb1 version like background items and what not.
I wonder what the pay scale would be to give an "inferior" game not only the same score, but to give it a .5 edge...
and no....not being serious
It sounds weak for anyone posting a review to say anything to the effect of "It's possible that the PS4 version looked somewhat sharper, but that may have just been my imagination after confirming the hard resolution difference." That just makes them look stupid. IGN video shows one version is sharper than the other, watch the IGN video, need a link?
Another problem I have would be "Ghosts suffers from consistent framerate drops on the PS4" as opposed to "the odd minor hiccup" from IGN.
If it is true that the frame drops are consistent, then Polygon should have had no issue showing us that in motion. Right? Did they? I don't know, I'm asking.
Relax, I told you that he's taken money before, not that he did now, how am I reaching exactly? why so edgy?
You're coming across really tense right now, ease up. I'm not physically fighting you man. lol
Must be your eyes then...
"GC: So, just finally, I have to ask: why does the PlayStation 4 version look so much better than the Xbox One? Is the resolution really the only difference?
MR: [laughs] Yep, it’s the only difference."
why is everybody arguing about this.
the ps4 struggles to run the game at 1080p 60fps.
the xb1 doesnt' even run the game in 1080p but steadier framerate.
it's cod.
this is pathetic across the board for next gen consoles.
