Maybe the xbone was the lead platform. They just made for that then ported to everything else. It is easier that way just make it for the lowest common denominator as then it will work on everything more powerful with the minimum effort.
It takes work and time to tailor effects and performance for every machine. In the games industry "work" an "time" are four letter words.
@Crimzon
I like how you guys just pick out the "900p" part to get to the conclusion you are trying for which is PS4 does it so xbone doing it too is no big deal.
The problem is that it is also 1080p in single player which is the main thing for Uncharted games. You say "UC4 is 900p" I say UC4 is 1080p. See I can pick the part that makes my argument too. Since I only play single player games UC4 is 1080p for me all day.

Yeah parity like the lame mad max game. Freaking parity. Eff you MS.
And then GoG would implement the most draconian DRM that EA could devise.
@Bigpappy
Well they could be aiming for total parity to keep MS happy and then miss the mark like what happened with Mad Max. MM actually runs better on the xbone even though the GPU is weaker. The same thing could happen here if their target platform is xbone.
Yep, always online after all. Mission accomplished.
I think you can only use like 6 cores for games because 2 are used up for all of that social media crap that everyone seems to need these days.
If they freed up those cores for games it would help but then everyone would moan about not being able to do all of the social crap like friend notifications and shareplay etc.
1.6 GHz and 1.75 GHz CPU clock speed is dog slow. I don't think they even make a PC that slow anymore. Yes these CPU are very weak.
The did it because the PS4 is slim and has the power brick built in. There are heat issues. With Xbone the massive case and external power brick allowed them to clock the APU higher. Sony should have done that too. I like smoother games and don't care if the consoles' case was a few millimeters thicker.
They could have had tiered level PS4s. The standard version like now plus an "Elite" version that is all compatible but has better chipset so all PS4 g...
The Move was a gimmick just to copy Nintendo and so was Kinect. The whole "jump around like an idiot in front of your TV" thing is passé . People are bored with motion controls.
VR on the other hand is cool enough that it should do better. It adds allot of immersion.
My only worry about the Morpheus will be the low rez 1/2 HD per eye display. If they listen to most gamers that want it dirt cheap too the OLED displays will be downgraded to LCD w...
"stability updates" AKA locking out hackers who try to jailbreak the system...
Probably not, It would be weird having an old lady like Hillary in a wrestling game.
We all know what is in the GPU of the X1. It is basically a lesser version of what is in the PS4. Less ROPs, less ACEs, less compute units, shaders etc. There is still no secret sauce or magical legendary stacked GPU.
It supports DX12 for every function that the GPU is capable of yes, but it is only a subset of what a full power GPU is capable of such as the ones in high end PCs.
My only guess is that MS paid boatloads of cash for this to be timed for a whole year. It must have been allot of money for them to do it. I guess that is what happens when a super rich company like MS gets in, they can throw their financial weight around.
You can certainly remaster it. You can up the texture resolution, add better lighting and shadows, increase polygons etc. The low-poly characters look awful, like they are made from origami.
This game looks the same as the old gen systems though. It has the same blurry textures and low poly character models and environments. If they were going to keep PS3 graphics they could have at LEAST upped the framerate, otherwise what is the point? As it is it is no "definitive edition" it is a quick un-enhanced straight port.
Not me. Since it looks the same the game should have least run at 60 FPS. The PS4 GPU is many times better than the old 360 so what is the excuse? I could see it if they rezzed up the textures and added more polygons but they didn't. This is no "remaster" it is a port. I would have bought this as it was a good game, but not looking the same as what I already played.
I wonder what they will downgrade to get better performance. They already downgraded the graphics a few times already through patches, very disappointing.
Buying used is legal, piracy isn't so yes it is better.
Unless you don't need to trade off and have both like in the PS4 version...
