No, a HDTV has several resolutions that are supported.

Please see the below link, and at the "Supported resolutions" you'll see that are several resolutions supported (480p, 720p, 1080p), but 900p is NOT included.

What Konami is saying is that the native resolution is 900p, but it will finally be upscaled to 1080p.

A HDTV cannot output a resolution of 900p. A HDTV has the following resolution signals:480p, 720p,1080p.

So in order for a HDTV to play a 900p game, it has to be first upscaled or downscaled to a resolution signal for which the HDTV was built for.

In case of Metal Gear V, it is said that the final output is 1080p, meaning the game will be...

Final output means that the game will be upscaled to a 1080p resolution signal.

Generally, A HDTV can output the following resolution signals: 480p, 720p, 1080p.

So, a HDTV cannot output a 900p game without being upscaled or downscaled to a resolution signal that was built for.

In case of PS3 and X360, we have a subHD resolution which is upscaled internally (in game software) to 720p.

In case of X1, we have a 900p native reso...

Dude,

Stop posting links from Gamespot, as if they were some experts (your link clearly demonstrates that they are not).

In case of X1 the native resolution will be 900p, but will be upscaled to a 1080p TV signal.

There is no TV in the market that could output at 900p. Generally, a HDTV can output the following resolution signals: 480p, 720p, 1080p.

So a HDTV cannot output a 900p resolution without being upscaled to 1080p.

Correct!

From the PR (20x the power of X1) and by the media (X1, the most powerful console), Crackdown 3 should play at 1080p 60fps with ultra texture....

But it's not the case! In fact the game looks very last gen judging from the graphics and animation.

Come on!

People are so easy to fall for hype and PR scams.

The fact of the matter is that Crackdown 3 is the proof that the Cloud will not help X1 to ra...

What is so next gen in this game?

For me it looks totally a last gen games with those graphics and animations.

3832d ago 1 agree15 disagreeView comment

What is so incredible?

Will the game run at 1080p 60fps? No

Will the game have ultra textures? No.

Will the game have a photo realistic look? No, in fact it looks cartoonist.

So 20x the power of X1, but does not improve the graphics nor the performance of the game. This were the improvements that X1 fan boys were bragging about 1 year ago.

Nobody said that cloud computing does not exist, but it was said that...

"The new API inspired by Mantle..."

I suspected for a long time this and I read somewhere that MS secretly bought the Mantle from AMD.

The history of the API is as follows:
- AMD announces the new API, Mantle (a specific presentation is announced on this);
- 1-2 months after, MS announce DirectX 12, an API VERY similar as Mantle;
- after this nothing has been heard about Mantle, but AMD's engineers (strangely/ surprisingl...

@CernaML is right
@shloodbmm3 is wrong

Only 2-3 games perform better on X1, while in the rest of the games:
- in ALL the games (with some minor exceptions) the PS4 version either has a better resolution or better performancd;
- in the majority of the games the PS4 version has better visuals AND better performance (Dying Light, Project cars, F12015, Batman AK etc).

You should keep up with the news if you are making such statements.

Both COD AW (around 2 months after release) and GTAV (around 3 months after release), received patches that solved any performance issue that PS4 had.

The same thing cannot be said for X1, which still has performance issues in GTAV.

In conclusion, only 2-3 games perform better on X1, while in the rest of the games:
- in ALL the games (with some minor exceptions) the P...

There are some numbers circulating on the NET regarding June sales.

PS4 ~ 365k
X1 ~ 297k

June's gap ~ 68k
US overall gap ~ 770k (more for PS4)

3852d ago 3 agree0 disagreeView comment

I didn't buy it, so I am happy to hear about the patch.

Separately, your statement that the game drops to 18 is false.

According to Digital Foundry, the game is capped at 20 fps when ever the game goes lower than 30 fps. However, such situations are very rarely found in the game (the swamp section is one of them).

This strange behaviour (dropping to 20 fps whenever the game cannot stay at 30fps) is due to the double buffering implemented ...

Indeed

I don't understand why they went with 1440x1080 resolution on X1, as there are a lot ot issues in visual department (missing SSAO and shadows, ugly tearing) AND performance performance (10fps lese than PS4 - veraging at 45-50 fps).

Indeed.

Has anyone noticed that this article (having only X1 in the title) was posted in the PS4 section?

I wonder why?

Well, it is very simple to make suppositions having in mind that NO context has been given in the article (no hard numbers, no comparisons).

While everybody is commenting on the vague statement given by a MS representative (it is his job to say good things about X1, even if they are not 100% true), AMAZON SPAIN could tell us the concrete story about how well the X1 is selling.

@PistolsAtDawn

Since you are such a big fan of the X1 and defend it so much, I give you the article from Digital Foundry with the performance analysis of Project Cars AFTER the release of the patch (using the 7th core of X1).

You are right. The 7th core cpu was used for Project Cars, but we all know that even with it X1 version was lacking behind PS4 in both visual (X1 was only 900p) and performance (10-12 fps less than Ps4 according to Digital Foundry.

This is not news in the first place, but just click bait and ammunition for console war.

MS released the 7th Cpu core (more precisely 50% of it) from last year.

So all the games from this year used the 7th core ( 3858d ago 16 agree12 disagreeView comment
