Battlefield 4 PS4 runs at 720p native [DICE: Incorrect]
- Thread starter Horse Armour
- Start date
This is the only game that we're aware of that's 720p on next-gen. Stop pretending as if this is some sort of trend atm.
It's like everyone keep forgeting the CPU in these comparison.
they both use tablet cpus bro
64p is heavily CPU dependent and the gpus are average compared to what's on pc

Yep 720p looks like crap even worst if you sit near your TV .
Even if they could not hit 1080p the should at least be able to go above 720p .

Exactly.
If you want 720p, just buy a PS3/360 or don't upgrade if you do own one.
If you're dropping more money on newer consoles, I don't think it's asking for much to expect much better graphics. That includes IQ.

Launch is going to be incredibly interesting as the multiplatform comparisons come out and rendering resolution and direct capture screens/footage is available.
This is what I feel too and is a good reason to hold off and wait and see for now because I refuse to play any games at 720p now.

My 6950 maintains 50-60FPS, 1080p, high settings (except ultra textures), medium post process AA, no MSAA. This is in multiplayer.
I am not exactly a 'tech geek' like many here. But from what I have garnered, many tech orientated members suggested the 32 ROPS should allow the PS4 push for 1080p without any issue. What gives? How does the CPU play a role in providing 1080p? It doesn't make sense.
First it was "no, no 30fps!!! give us 60!" then after confirmation of 60 fps "yeah yeah"
Now, after confirmation of 720p "booo, boo, wtf is this shit?"
Some people just can't be satisfied.
Personally I would rather enjoy a beautiful 1080p 30fps BF4 on PS4 with, my 200hz LED TV any time. It makes 30 fps a lot more fluid, and graphics can stay more detailed sacrificed.
I blame COD for this damn 60 fps histeria!
Damn you COD!!

Nothing! I said nothing!
I decided to myself that I wont buy any shooters that aren't 1080P, 60FPS and using dedicated servers this gen.
I would prefer they sacrifice any effect to hit this. Of course lots of folk wont mind this one little bit and that's fine as well.

Yup. Something a lot of people never take into consideration.
This is a big, demanding, gorgeous game. 64 players at 60fps with high image quality is a lot to ask of a machine, even a decent PC.
I am absolutely OK with this. 1080P would be better obviously but I love the game and in the end I don't really care if it's 1080 or 720 considering we are getting 64 players and the full maps.
This information will cause a shitstorm on dedicated gaming forums and blogs, but most people won't bother with it.
Sorry but that's the reality.
You'd better start saving for a gaming PC now, then.
Possibly. Jaguar is at the end of the day a ULV processor that will be inside stuff like tablets and netbooks, albeit in a quad core flavour.

don't know why people are surprised. did you forget they are developing with current gen consoles in mind.
Also I don't know whats up with all the BF3 comparisons, BF4 is obviously more technically advanced that BF3

No?
The CPU here is handling 64 players at 16ms/frame just fine if it's 60fps.
The resolution those 64 players are rendering at isn't relevant to the CPU load.

How much would a person who is perfectly happy with Netflix quality streaming notice this (me)? I can definitely tell the difference in FPS but native and upscaled resolutions? I understand that everyone is different.
Honest question

Does that include 40 more players per map too? BF4 will look much better on PS4/X1 than on 360/PS3, come on now.

720p never looks good. It looks like garbage.
This is slightly lower than the 3-4000 pcs they were using at e3, but still far more powerful than these consoles.

My 670 has better benchmarks than your 580 and I never hit 60fps at 2560x1440p in ultra in multiplayer. Average is 40-45fps.

Maybe at ultra settings, but not at high settings.
Do some of you have 100 inch tv's or something?, 720p looks pin sharp on my tv.

I'd be highly surprised. Titanfall isn't dong things anywhere near as demanding as Bf4.
Source is a not a new engine.
Yeah 720p still looks good. I've a 720p plasma and a 1080p plasma, can't really tell much of a difference between the two most of the time.
That's his point.

After playing 1080p games on my PC, viewing 720p games is not too dissimilar to having glaucoma. I play games on a 40" LCD TV.
i know this? you said expect the same for titanfall (720p) and I said i doubt it because it's...the source engine.. and it's old.

Exactly framerate was not acceptable at 1080p so they cranked it down to 720p.
That's because of the viewing distance.

Upscaled and post-AA. Enjoy the blurry mess on your screen.
That makes no sense.
Cranking down the resolution will not affect the CPU framerate. It'll improve the GPU frametime, not CPU.

More reason not to get a PS4 on launch and stick to my PC.
I'm surprised they've had to sacrifice the resolution actually.
BF3 scaled so well on PC that my 7850 could run it comfortably at 1080p and 60fps by just turning off MSAA and injecting SMAA.
Surely even the equivalent of PC medium settings for BF4 should've netted them 1080p and 60fps on the PS4/XB1 and would've been perfectly acceptable.

It wasn't acceptable because of the GPU...
You're claiming the CPU is the bottleneck when that clearly isn't the case.
Doesnt bother me much since i will play on my bedroom tv which is old 720p Bravia. 
But i understand why people are upset since i hooked up PC to 1080p
question: if game is 720p native and then upscaled to 1080p how will that work on 720p TV?
720p upscaled to 1080p by the console and downscaled back to 720p by the TV? How will that look?!?
Or consoles will be smart enough to just output native 720p?

Well i suppose this is the time that my 32 inch tv has an advantage over the bigger one because i can barely tell the difference between 1080p and 720p on mine.
