Showan Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Looks like Battlefield 4 won't be true 1080p. But as long as they nailed the 60fps, it's all good with me. http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2013/08/23/battlefield-4-runs-at-720p-on-ps4-dashes-hopes-of-a-1080p-generation/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcfan Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 yeah its been know for awhile. The only game on ps4 that is known to run 1080p 60fps is COD,but that could have changed from being a goal to getting the actual performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phouchg Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Well, framerate is indeed more important. They haven't got around with the new kind of metal, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot B. Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 It does frustrate me somewhat. The last genetration of "HD consoles" ran most games at 640p and upscaled them to 1080p. This generation will presumably run most at 720p and upscale to 1080p Will it take until the next generation of consoles before the majority of games will run natively at 1080p or higher? This would be a long time after the HD specifications were released, and it just seems cheeky to call consoles from as early as 2005 "HD gaming ready".

Noir Angel Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Most high end PCs will run it at 1080p. It's rather sad that "next gen" consoles are barely better than the previous gen Raa, fusi0n, Buttus and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noir Angel Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 With the rate hardware is advancing you're probably right. To me, it's just nonsensical calling something next gen when it's not much better than current gen KingCracker 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rather sad that "next gen" consoles are barely better than the previous gen That's the thing, the hardware is much more powerful yet they've only gone from 640p to 720p. I'm sure the games will look better and run smoother, but I'd rather 1080p @ 60 FPS with slightly less detail than 720p @ 60 FPS at full detail - even though I probably wouldn't tell the difference :D djdanster 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noir Angel Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I've always preferred PCs anyway. I brought all this hardware (except the SSD and Monitor) in 2011 and it still runs 1080p at playable framerates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2xSilverKnight Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 ridiculous seriously. I've been running 1080p games for a while on a pc, why can't they make it work on a "next gen" console that is not even out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSlob Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 My only issue with this... the back of EVERY SINGLE GAME will claim it supports 1080p. Misleading the average consumer. Dick Montage and Aergan 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGHammer Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Because, for all too many of us, we have no wish to spend the money upgrading everything? All those games that are going to be on the PS4/XB ONE will (for the most part) also be on the current-generation PS3 and/or XB360 - that means, strictly from the console side of things, two different sets of specs. The developer will likely target the lower set of specs and rely on up-rezzing to make up the difference (which was the case with PS3/XB360). A LOT of folks will simply skip the upgrade cycle altogether (cost/price). For the PC side, it's a lot easier, and has been for a while; however, the resistance even there has been greater - or have we forgotten Crysis 3 already? For all those willing to spend money getting the latest/greatest hardware (whether console OR PC) there are lots of others that refuse to move whatsoever. Finally, it's proving out that you don't need a high-end PC (except when it comes to portables) to run BF4 capably; a quad-core CPU (and almost any of them) along with GTX 660 or better/HD7850 or better will do nicely.

KingCracker Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I bet when the ps4 and xbox one is released they wont see as many people buying the next gen as they did with the ps3 and xbox 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 That really really blows. The article only says Playstation, if Xbox is the same way. I will completely skip it and get it for PC. I can play BF 3 on ultra currently. Maybe i'll get a new card. I have 1080, I want it to play 1080, not upscaled, native. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerzdawg Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'd imagine within a year or so we see more 1080p games @ 60fps, launch titles usually start off with the "growing pains" but I'll wait and see what other developers are able to pull off.

Astra.Xtreme Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I just have a sneaking suspicion that Sony and Microsoft were in too huge of rush to get their next-gens released that the overall quality won't be as good as it should have been. And that also is leading to game developers having a tough time getting the performance they were hoping for. I'm kind of expecting some sort of huge flaw (lagging, freezing, overheating, etc) to show it's face when these are released, and for that reason, I think I'm going to hold off on buying a launch day console.

Dick Montage Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 May I offer a thought - and feel free to dismiss it if it is nonsense, and I will gladly offer that I know little on this: Is 720p upscaled to 1080p being chosen as a "sweet spot" so that is can be downscaled to SD sizes better than downscaling the gaming, interface & text from a 1080 render would be?

They better not be sacrificing anything in these new consoles in order to work with SD. SD is dead and has been for several years. No way can there be a significant customer base left who are going to buy $400-$500 consoles who are still using a 480i display.

I believe they'd have two UI rendering pipelines, one SD and one HD. UI scaling shouldn't be too difficult of a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
