Looks like this 720p thing is a trend...

Luckily for me I have both

I'd heard this via a news stream, it was hardly a surprise tbh. have to wait and see how this one pans out and what spin we get if indeed it is true...

baldmonk · 29 Jan 2014 at 19:13

not surprised to be honest

I think this was always to be expected.

Lucky X1 owners are all about the game play.....

So they keep telling me

Noxia · 29 Jan 2014 at 19:31

Sad for X1 owners tbh, they shouldn't have to put up with 720p visual on that hardware.

Still a rumour so lets take it with a pinch of salt, especially as no doubt it was probably delayed to avoid such possibilities in the first place...

Perhaps that next gen trailer we saw that they accidently uploaded was XO footage at the time?

ps3ud0 :cool:

The hardware is nerfed to hell and back with an extra topping of software overhead.

Thuway is a known leaker who is rarely wrong and only leaks anything when he has two sources.

This.......again......

I like to know how many console gamers would notice the difference unless pointed out to them?!?!?!

I'm guessing this is why MS didn't call it the Xbox 720 like many expected.

PS4 elitists

thought console gamers didn't care about graphics???

12 months ago if a PC gamer boasted about 1080P they be called PC elitists etc.

hypocrites

No lol, 12 months ago people on this forum were already using 1600p and above resolutions.

Nobody is boasting they're just happy they paid less for a console that can do more. 1080p should have been capable on both when 4k is on the horizon for PC gamers.

Im sure in future when they do the update to take out the gimped power of kinnect, it will be pretty even, couldnt believe that it takes up 10% whether it needs it or not.

Noxia · 29 Jan 2014 at 20:06

I am a PS4 owner btw, just grew out of console wars when I hit 12. I wonder how much is hardware to blame and how much is lazy devs.

antijoke · 29 Jan 2014 at 20:07

That's a crap article, pure speculation it's watch dogs.

Mostly hardware, its not a PS3/360 situation where as the PS3 was around the same power but more difficult to harness it.

Ah ok, was this not the case on AC IV as well with 1080p on PS4 and 720 on XB1?
