Mmmm that almost delicious cross gen sandwich. Sorta like chicken but with a slightly fishy after taste.

 

[stktt]

What resolution was BF3 running at on consoles?

1280x704, I believe

Edit: beaten.

 

[sam27368]

Sigh, like I said in the other thread. 720p confirmed for the PS4 alpha build. ALPHA. THIS IS NOT FINAL/SHIPPED. Some of you need to understand how game development works and when console optimisations and graphic tweaks begin.

 

[Templar_Dante]

Would be funny if it's 1080p on XBone.

Um.. its not impossible on either console, but you would have to drastically decrease effects.

 

[madmackem]

1280x704, I believe

Edit: beaten.

I thought it was very slightly sub 720p?. It doesn't look very sharp on either console.

 

[KAL2006]

The difference between 720p or 1080p isn't a huge deal for me. I would prefer a spectacular looking game at 720p that a average looking game at 1080p.

 

[Soma]

That's unfortunate if true, but with 64 players at 60fps with those environments I don't think it's that bad of a trade off imo.

 

[Spongebob]

Only next-gen game (whether it be next-gen only or cross-gen) to be running at 720p?

 

[Horse Armour]

Sigh, like I said in the other thread. 720p confirmed for the PS4 alpha build. ALPHA. THIS IS NOT FINAL/SHIPPED. Some of you need to understand how game development works and when console optimisations and graphic tweaks begin.

You're seriously expecting a 2.25x resolution jump in the next 2.5 months?

It'll be the same on retail. Mark my words.

 

[Loudninja]

Its a cross gen launch title atleast to me I am seeing some effort here.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Is this an indication that multiplats will look more or less the same on PS4/Xb1 or is this a special case? I'm guessing the first

 

[Ryuuga]

Embarrasing. If Killzone can pull out 1080p and probably 60 FPS in multiplayer, so should they.

False Equivalence: The Thread.

 

[uncharted86]

Would be funny if it's 1080p on XBone.

When they are only confident to show off the PS4 version currently? Yeah won't happen. It will be upscaled 1080p like PS4.

 

[plainr_]

lol. Still getting the game though along with KZSF.

 

[SiRatul]

Embarrasing. If Killzone can pull out 1080p and probably 60 FPS in multiplayer, so should they.

64 players on one map is no joke. Especially huge maps with destructible environments. Let's wait till we see the actual product before dooming DICE.

 

[RetroStu]

Absolutely nothing wrong with this, 60fps is far more important anyway.
I'm sure the game would of been able to do 1080p at 30fps which would of been the same as Killzone so no need for people to jump off that building yet, they decided to target 60fps instead.

 

[XeNoN89]

This is unacceptable for a next gen game. 1080p should be the standard.

 

[Feindflug]

What resolution was BF3 running at on consoles?

1280x704.

I was expecting something like 1280*1080...that being said if the game runs at a steady 60fps then I'm fine with 720p.

 

[madmackem]

That's unfortunate if true, but with 64 players at 60fps with those environments I don't think it's that bad of a trade off imo.

Yeah it's a shame but as long as it looks amazing 60 fps 64 players its a good trade off for a launch title.

 

[Horse Armour]

I thought it was very slightly sub 720p?. It doesn't look very sharp on either console.

It runs at 704p unscaled so it is actually just as sharp as any full 720p game, any difference in sharpness you experienced would have nothing to do with resolution.

 

[RulkezX]

Not all that upset with this. It's still going to look and play great.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Embarrasing. If Killzone can pull out 1080p and probably 60 FPS in multiplayer, so should they.

Even though they are both playgrounds. They are entirely different playgrounds.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

No way. AWFUL!!! Pc it is!!

 

[Law Abiding Stranger]

Wasn't this and framerate confirmed months ago?

Actually it was.

[Duxxy3]

That's a big letdown.

 

[IMBored]

I think one EA guy said NFS:R might end up looking better on one of the next-gen consoles, but I'm not sure by how much.

 

[KAL2006]

At first I thought Battlefield 4 was technically he most impressive looking launch game. But it seems now Killzone Shadowfall will hold that title.

 

[madmackem]

Not sure how your reaching that?.

 

[Nozem]

There won't be a bucket of popcorn big enough for that GAF thread.

 

[funkystudent]

COD it is then.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

That's not a good way to start the first BF on a new gen of consoles.

Still, the dream of 1080p on next gen consoles was gonna die anyway over the years, sooner or later it was bound to happen. Most tittles will be 720p in a few years.

 

[bodyboarder]

almost 2014 and still 720p

cmon son

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Lulubop]

The feel of 1080p

Lol.

 

[Dahaka]

BF3 also needs a beefy pc for maximum settings@1080p for unconditional 60fps. I am not surprised.

I am using a i2500k with Windforce GTX 670, 16GB Ram, SSD installation and the minimum is not 60fps.

 

[Violater]

So disappointed.
If this is true I might just ......

 

[Coolwhip]

A cross-gen game running at 720p? Pretty disappointing.

 

[Uno Venova]

This is unacceptable for a next gen game. 1080p should be the standard.

But really, how much should they care that you find it unacceptable.

 

[Rapstah]

It runs at 704p unscaled so it is actually just as sharp as any full 720p game, any difference in sharpness you experienced would have nothing to do with resolution.

Am I missing some basic fact about how scaling works for how they make up for those 16 missing vertical lines without scaling? Black borders?

But really, how much should they care that you find it unacceptable.

Shut down NeoGAF, a developer isn't directly and personally touched by an opinion held by a poster!

 

[sam27368]

At first I thought Battlefield 4 was technically he most impressive looking launch game. But it seems now Killzone Shadowfall will hold that title.

Shadowfall does look awesome, but they're both unreleased. GAF should know by now that trusting screenshots released is not the best indication of final.

 

[stktt]

This is unacceptable for a next gen game. 1080p should be the standard.

For a game like Battlefield, I prefer a higher framerate, more players, and more dynamic environments to a moderate boost in image quality.

 

[Canis lupus]

720p is BAD, everything 100m away was too blurry in BF3 when using the tank cannon.

 

[Rebel Leader]

A cross-gen game running at 720p? Pretty disappointing.

a cross-gen game running at 60fps with 64 players is not.

 

[Horse Armour]

Am I missing some basic fact about how scaling works for how they make up for those 16 missing vertical lines without scaling? Black borders?

Exactly. 8 pixel black bars on top and bottom so it looks exactly like a 720p game.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I really hope this isn't going to be the cop out that devs use. Instead of making it native 1080p, upscale it from 720p because you know you can do the same for the X1.

 

[Spongebob]

I can't recall any other game on next-gen running at 720p...

 

[rvy]

They won me with 60fps. 60fps + 720p is the winning combo for the next generation.

 

[ebullientprism]

Embarrasing. If Killzone can pull out 1080p and probably 60 FPS in multiplayer, so should they.

LOL I dont think you know squat about either game's multiplayer aside from what resolution they run at.

Or at the very least your ignorance definitely is heavy on BF's side.

 

[uncharted86]

Am I missing some basic fact about how scaling works for how they make up for those 16 missing vertical lines without scaling? Black borders?

Yes, BF3 on current-gen has some very subtle black borders in top and bottom.

 

[sam27368]

720p is BAD, everything 100m away was too blurry in BF3 when using the tank cannon.

Draw distance.. Has nothing to do with resolution
