hehe, patch the Xbox One version to 1080p plz.

 

[Ozone]

Should've made it Pre-Order Bonus DLC.

"Pre-order now for exclusive pixels, only at GameStop!"

 

[Risk Breaker]

Videogames journalism, ladies and gentlemen. NOT A SINGLE "journo" realized this, not even the Polygon guys who would have REALLY REALLY wanted to expose this.

Now every review should be redone/revisited when the game/console actually launches, lol.

 

[cripterion]

Just wondering... for the people that lambasted the reviewers saying they should get their eyes checked cause they couldn't tell the difference between the Xbone and PS4 version : are you going to eat some crow?

 

[CambriaRising]

What the fuck..

 

[Wereroku]

So uh, what if the PS4 version was in 720p when people were noticing fps drops? thatd sure be interesting, although I know not every build suffered from this problem of course, seems to potentially be retail copy specific

Might actually fix it if the engine was bugging out from the incorrect output.

 

[Jackpot]

Reviewers: It looks the same to my eye.

Fans: OMG TEH BIAS MONEYHATZ POLYGON LIES

I'd say it makes the reviewers look worse as they didn't realise it was limited to 720p or even ask as to why 50% extra pixels made seemingly no difference.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Shit like this is why I don't understand why people take reviews serious.

 

[ChainsawFilms]

Explains why the screenshots looked 720!

Wonder if this config mess up will have any impact on the "one slowdown every 6 hours" complaint.

 

[Beer Monkey]

So uh, what if the PS4 version was in 720p when people were noticing fps drops?

It probably was outputting 720p but (sadly) still rendering 1080p.

If you set your PS4 to 720p in the dash, games should really be coded to recognize this, use a 720p frame buffer, and give you fewer framerate dips.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

IW is buttcheeks

 

[DryvBy]

Wow. This is just mind blowing. IW, I hate I even bought your game now.

They will not! But they oughtta!

 

[Macleoid]

Rather have 60fps patch.

EDIT: Online-only console generation. If you aren't online, you are fucked.

Looks like it's going that way.

 

[RaikuHebi]

It's going to be one of those nights again.

 

[BobTheFork]

I honestly didn't know you could do this.

The launch has been crazy stupid, it's fucking great.

 

[Tenki]

The patch probably downloads more RAM: http://downloadmoreram.com/

 

[Curufinwe]

I guess it really was Arthur Gies imagination after all.


LOL

Gies didn't say that because he didn't review Ghosts.

It was Russ Frushtick.

And at this point who the fuck knows what those journalists were actually seeing at the launch event.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

Interestingly enough...I've seen a sixth axis video comparing multiplayer between the systems and the PS4 version seems somewhat sharper--it even is apparent in the compressed videos. SP, on the other hand, looks nearly identical (not withstanding gamma differences).

 

[Prince Vultan]

What a clusterfuck this game has been.

I'm amazed it even hits 60fps considering... most of the time anyway :/

Clownshow.

 

[Zyae]

bububub shills?

 

[LordMuffin]

So every single review out is basically null and void because of this? At least graphics wise

 

[Wereroku]

Videogames journalism, ladies and gentlemen. NOT A SINGLE "journo" realized this, not even the Polygon guys who would have REALLY REALLY wanted to expose this.

Now every review should be redone/revisited when the game/console actually launches, lol.

Again they are saying it was explicitly retail code a lot of these folks reviewed prerelease code where the resolution was correct.

 

[Cat Party]

Polygon redeemed. Amazing.

 

[Man]

Hah, I need to watch that IGN video review again.

"As you can see, the PS4 is a bit more crisp" (shows single player)

Games Journalism on fucking auto-pilot.

Polygon COD review redeemed haha.

 

[Ricerocket]

I didn't know games on console were just a configuration setting away from changing res.

 

[VE3TRO]

Lol oh snap.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Just wondering... for the people that lambasted the reviewers saying they should get their eyes checked cause they couldn't tell the difference between the Xbone and PS4 version : are you going to eat some crow?

They are still blind precisely because they COULDN'T tell the difference between the supposed 1080p and the actual 720p on PS4. They deserve all of that.

 

[Interfectum]

oh shit

 

[mattp]

LOL

 

[Jonboy]

"There was a configuration issue in the retail version on single-player mode only."

So did reviewers use the "retail version" or prerelease code?

 

[darkwing]

how about the PC version

 

[bob page]

So every single review out is basically null and void because of this? At least graphics wise

Theoretically, yes. I guess we'll see how it looks once the patch hits.

 

[Dragon1893]

What a fucking mess.

 

[Ghost Cell]

Polygon is still awful.

 

[Kacho]

Oh this is great. hahahahaha

 

[Beer Monkey]

I'd say it makes the reviewers look worse as they didn't realise it was limited to 720p or even ask as to why 50% extra pixels made seemingly no difference.

In motion, at typical viewing distances from typical televisions, most people don't notice the difference.

I'm all for all reviewers sitting four feet from 60" screens, but it's not realistic to expect it.

Sites like DF and LoT can do the pixel counting, I don't really expect reviewers to do that.

 

[baphomet]

Infinity Ward a bunch of fucking hacks confirmed.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

This funny is so many ways.

 

[The Omega Man]

Don't patch it yet!!! I want to know if there is any frame rate different between those 2 resolutions!!!!!

 

[Black Republican]

1080p patches, fuck me

 

[foxbeldin]

Does the patch fix the framerate like giantbomb told us it would?

 

[Nerokis]

Hmm, seems all the people calling others out for not being able to tell the difference between the two versions need their eyes checked.

 

[cyberheater]

They didn't even realise that the retail and review versions were at 720p for the single player experience until the pixel counters found out. What the fuck? How does this even happen and how did the reviewers. Wait, the reviewers. I bet a lot of there commentary looks a little silly now.

 

[Salex_]

Just to clarify, this means that multiplayer is and has always been 1080p on PS4, correct?

Yep, so that means what people said in the reviews were somewhat accurate. I was surprised by the amount of doubters who said there was no way it could be 1080p since the Xbox One version was 720p.

 

[Red Chocobo]

So this explains those poor comparisons that were clearly 720p.

I'm glad I wasn't imagining things.

 

[Havel]

Just to clarify, this means that multiplayer is and has always been 1080p on PS4, correct?

Yep.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Again they are saying it was explicitly retail code a lot of these folks reviewed prerelease code where the resolution was correct.

Yet the IGN footage shows 720p video from PS4.

 

[Wereroku]

"There was a configuration issue in the retail version on single-player mode only."

So did reviewers use the "retail version" or prerelease code?

Thats the part some of these folks are ignoring. I wish people would not just jump on other outlets that saw a difference.

 

[george_us]

At the very least this console launch has been entertaining as hell

Most entertaining launch I can remember honestly. I sure as hell don't remember the 360/PS3/Wii launch being this hilarious.
