Upcoming AAA Ubisoft Title: 1080p on PS4 / Sub 1080p on Xbox One


Recommended Posts

If people want to post rumors as if they are news, so be it, but is it wrong to ask the OP to use a correct title? It does not mention 720p or the name of the game, so why have words been added? It just looks like it was done for effect.

If you like reading about that stuff as part of the console war rubbish, have fun wading through the crap. Are you trying to say you like the flaming and console wars? That's much different than wanting info about games, which is what I like.

 

Didn't mean to insult you.  Usually though you are the voice of reason in these type of threads, kind of the "Why can't we all just get along" guy.  Not that I see that as bad.

Well I appreciate you making that clear. I wasn't sure what you meant.

It sounded like you were saying I didn't want to hear about game info like the technical details. My goal is to get the important info I need to decide which game to get or which platform to get it on, while dodging the console war slings and arrows :laugh:

With all the delays im worried the game is even going to be good.   Its kind of sad how some people are so concerned about resolution that they would turn away from a good game because of it and not just enjoy a game.

 

I finally got my ps4 and its wonderful but because my xbox is on 24/7 because i run my satellite through it and use netflix and what not i get all multi platform games on it just out of convenience.

If you buy out of convenience why couldn't people buy for technical reasons? You can't really call someones choice to buy the prettier version sad when your reason is because your Xbox is turned on 24/7.

 

And no I'm not saying your reason is sad, I don't think any reason is sad, I just want to highlight your slight double standard.

Can we have a xbox vs ps4 vs pc comparison then? I like to run my games at 2560x1600. Resolution seems to be so important, right?

 

 

We could, but pointing out a high-end rig beats consoles would be completely pointless; we already know that. Comparing 2 consoles released at the same time is interesting because they are competing against one and other. If we start to see a consistent trend of one platform running games better than another then I think that is an appropriate discussion to have a tech website's gaming area.

I agree completely, as long as posters can keep their cool and not make it about scoring points for either side.

Can we stop posting these 720p vs 1080p threads? I think we've had enough of these.

Why?

I don't recall too much people asking gamers to stop saying the 360 controller was better or that multiplatform titles were better on 360 than PS3.

Well considering the topic is only a rumor

I'll give you that as long as it's not confirmed it is irrelevant.

What does that have to do with anything?

 

 

I think he is pointing out  that people on here can't be OK with promoting one systems values (PS) or advantages over another's(Xbox).

Promoting is fine, but countless topics about the same thing is pretty excessive. If the norm is 1080p on PS4 and 720p on XB1, then let's just leave it at that.

If people lose interest in these topics they  will be ignored and people will stop starting them. Complaining about the fact they exist keeps them alive.

 

I own neither system, knowing how well multiplatform games run on either in important to my future buying decision.

Such a substantial difference in resolution is far from unprecedented given the titles released so far, so there is merit in discussing such rumours. Of course people want to know if one console will perform better than the other, especially if they haven't yet committed to a platform. Personally I considered 720p incredibly dated for the last generation and would expect much better from the "next" generation.

 

As for criticising the topic, that's valid too but once that opinion has been expressed it's time to move on - repeating the same point does not contribute to the topic.

No, I personally like knowing which games I am interested in not making what I feel is next gen.

So then I can feel cheated by thinking I bought the wrong next gen system.

 

1080 is NOT new.  It's been out for years.   The xbox one is a NEXT GEN system.  It should be

able to do 1080.  If not then they shouldn't have released it.  I think it's honestly

ridiculous that they cannot do it.  

 

If I am paying a ridiculous amount for this system, extra controller, xbox live, and games, I want

it to be a good investment.   It so far isn't living up to next gen. 

The Xbox One isn't really a next gen console anymore, and for that matter neither is the PlayStation 4. They're now

both current generation consoles. They stopped being next gen when they were released last November.

 

The actual next generation of gaming/entertainment consoles are several years away.

Yawn. Who cares? This is a rumour from a source who likes to poop on the XB1, especially when anything moderately good happens to the XB1. That "drama" yesterday on NeoGaf about Cboat and the MS "insider" obviously rattled this guy's cage and so he had to immediately spread some FUD.

 

 

 

Why can't we just wait until the game comes out, look at the differences, and then just buy the damn game and have some fun without insisting on having a massive argument about the pixels?

Promoting is fine, but countless topics about the same thing is pretty excessive. If the norm is 1080p on PS4 and 720p on XB1, then let's just leave it at that.

I don't think 720p will be the norm on the One. There's already 1080p games on the One anyway and there will be more in the upcoming years. I think it is nice to know at which resolution a game is running. I personally think it should even be written on the back of the case the resolution at which a game is actually running.

This said this is just a rumour so I don't think anyway really care all that much for now.

From what I can tell the xbox approach is more software optimisation as opposed to the PS4's hardware grunt, so it makes absolute sense that devs need to learn these optimisation tricks whereas the grunt on the PS4 is just there.

 

The thing is when the devs do start to use the tricks properly they should open up more options for getting games running better, faster etc, whereas on the PS4 that power cant really be enhanced upon.

 

And I'm not talking about your standard optimisations here, there is some clever ###### going on with the xbox that needs to be used for it to be a benefit. Both systems will see optimisations but the xbox has more potential in this respect.

 

Just the way I understand things folks.

They did some of that last gen. I have ps3 and 360 games that would list the resolution they supported. Now, I haven't seen any next retail games that list that. I suppose its a bit different now since both console can upscale to 1080p.

Yeah but upscaling is not as good as native. I know most people wont see the difference but there's one specially on big 55+ inch TV. It's not all that important for people with small TV 720 does the job but when you have a big 1080p TV you really want to display sources at 1080p native as much as possible.

Maybe the thread title could use a tad bit of adjustment though, for the sake of clarity.

 

I agree, but seeing as this is just a rumour from Twitter I'm stuck with what to put.

 

Will gladly change it if someone offers a good suggestion.

I think multiplats will mostly continue to be inferior in frame rate and resolution on the Xbox because I highly doubt they'll optimise for the Xboxs embedded memory, just like last gen hardly anyone optimised for the PS3 Cell processor, leading to mostly inferior multiplatform games. I think the only 1080 games on the Xbox one with decent graphics will be exclusives. 

I agree, but seeing as this is just a rumour from Twitter I'm stuck with what to put.

 

Will gladly change it if someone offers a good suggestion.

My suggestion would be:

[Rumor] Upcoming AAA Ubisoft Title: 1080p on PS4/Sub 1080p XB1

Since neither the name watch dogs or the sub res was mentioned directly from the source, that title seems more legit.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more.
