This whole concept skirts the issue. Sure good graphics don't make a game good, and poor graphics can ruin the experience. But the whole graphics fight shenanigans really only applies to multiplatform. If i have a ps3 and a ps4 i'm likely going to get the ps4 version because it's prettier. Same idea but to a lesser extent with XO. If i had both next gen systems and assuming everything else was equal, why wouldn't i pick the one that's slightly prettier if it was indeed the...
Same for me, i don't mind that much as long as they're good enough to maintain immersion, but i was a little underwhelmed when i saw them.
Basically damned if it's too close to being GTA or bashed for not being GTA. Watch Dogs definitely had its flaws, but i do think it could be more appreciated if people didn't just expect it to be GTA plus hacking.
I love the hideout missions, playing them pure stealth is a blast.
Invasions are quick and exciting, I bet the campaign could recreate that feeling if it were 2 hours long, but I don't exactly want to pay $60 for a 2 hour campaign.
Cant help but think this may have something to do with the supposed bitcoin virus. I imagine your performance while playing the game would be affected if your computer is mining.
It was the best of settings, it was the worst of settings, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness.... right?
While I would like to suggest some rationale as to why the scenario isn't quite as bad as you suggest, I recently saw a post on a multiplatform article (so both sony and microsoft fans would be able to view it if they were only clicking on their respective tabs) Comment said "xbone sucks" and had 21 agrees and 7 disagrees. So would suggest about 75% of N4G pop is violently anti-xbox one. Small sample blah blah but it still demonstrates a point.
If it's fun and different enough from the other games I've been playing recently so that it feel like it's its own game, that's good enough for me.
And for honestly sake, no I have not played it. Also haven't played most of the games I'm excited for, but that's just how these things work.

I think the source of this huge amount of attention paid to resolution comes from 2 main ideas. First, lack of meeting resolution expectations from last generation. And secondly console disparities. Going into last generation gamers were intrigued by the idea of 1080p gaming and that's what all the e3 demos and press made us believe. After awhile we realized that this was pure fantasy and besides some grumbling about games not even meeting 720p this eventually made its way to the back bur...
Think it's more of that it was a good game but there was room for improvement. So hopefully when the new game comes they can put into action any lessons they learned from the previous.
Does seem a bit bizarre, but I guess as long as it doesn't affect quality or load times, doesn't really matter.
Digital Foundry did a thing on it and they didn't really spot any differences.
Game looks pretty cool but I've got to ask what kind of dev wouldn't hope their game would be the best. Besides that hilarious quote about knack targeting a 7, I really don't imagine too many devs hope for mediocrity.
Quite frankly surprised, had xo been 900p60 and ps4 1080p60 maybe they might have needed to trim some things to maintain frame rate but I find it a bit strange that running at 720 on xo that something like that would be cut unless for example the tech was provided by sony and thus only the ps4 is allowed to benefit. We'll see.
Games will likely still share some of the good ideas that cod had or at least fps staples that they streamlined even after it's gone.
Would think opinions of the games would effect the number of good idea people perceived they had made, not the presence of any to begin with.
An important side note to this as well is that rescaling a video requires the addition of material that previously did not exist and therefore causes a drop in the crispness of an image, therefore by having a resolution that does not require rescaling on a 1080p display, the end result even if the pixel count was the same, is a superior looking image.
A joking retort to this concept of course would be that my statement advocates for a 1920 pixel wide game that is only 1 pixe...
In the traditional sense when we're talking about resolution 1080p for example it refers to the 16:9 aspect ratio meaning that there is 16 horizontal pixels for every 9 vertical pixels. In the 1080p example this means 1080 / 9 * 16 or 1920. So called 800p would be 1422x800. The order on the otherhand is 2.4:1 aspect ratio therefore when considering which of the P resolutions that it falls under it can seem a little difficult to determine which it falls under as it doesn't have 1080 v...
Good looking numbers, interested to see what they look like come Japanese launch.
Depends on how important the specifics of the character are to the developer. Gender choice in uncharted wouldnt make sense but it does in say an mmo.
Testing the free to play market in preparation for ESO.... right? :P
