Were both games native resolutions? Try PC where you can make it the proper resolution. Huge differences there.

I've played games at both resolutions on my 42" TV at home. From my couch the difference is miniscule. It's a matter of whether or not that difference is enough to bother you. I'm saying that for most CoD players it's not.

Yes, it's a big difference mathematically, but it's not a big difference visually, especially in motion. From 6 feet away most people aren't going to notice any real difference. It will only be the ones looking for it that are bothered by it.

I'm not sure what your comparison there is meant to illustrate. Yes, the same principle holds in both situations, but the difference in resolutions is still going to be more apparent on a phone that is a foot away from your face than it is on a 42-inch screen from 6 feet away, particularly when you're playing a…

I don't know, everything I've heard from people who have actually had their hands on Titanfall say it's the FPS game to play. A return to fast-paced FPS games with vertical design to its levels. I've even heard Tribes enthusiasts, of all people, saying that it scratches the right itches for them.

I can tell the difference between 720 and 1080 on my phone.

I know what he was saying. I was correcting his misstatement about the number of platforms, and I was pointing out that the number of overall sales of the two titles is unimportant when comparing the two because they're trying to achieve very different things. One is trying to continue being the leading video game…

Probably because they aren't as familiar with the hardware architecture, and rather than spend the extra time/money/effort to optimize for it, they just said "most of our target audience won't notice the difference from six feet away on their couch anyway."

Yes, and so does the XB1. This has nothing to do with the hardware itself, and everything to do with how the developer has optimized the software.

BF4 didn't look better on XB1 when I saw it. The contrast was turned up higher, so it looked more "vibrant," but the textures looked considerably better on the PS4, in my opinion.

There is a considerably bigger difference between 30fps and 60fps than there is between 720p and 1080p, particularly when you're talking about playing on a television that is 5-10 feet away. Half the framerate is half the framerate, regardless of where you're sitting. The difference between 720p and 1080p becomes…

Do either of those games run at 60fps?

No, it's a sad stereotype that tells us more about your own lack of cognitive ability or original ideas than it does about the CoD community.

I think a great game being an exclusive probably has a much greater effect on sales than a bunch of abstract arguments about consumer rights, online restrictions, and used game policies to your average consumer.

Probably because the PS4 was the lead dev console on this title, and rather than spend the extra time/money/effort to optimize on the XB1 side, they just scaled down the resolution since 90% of their target audience won't know the difference.

Titanfall is releasing on 3 platforms, and regardless MS has already paid EA enough to cover their lost Playstation sales (or else EA wouldn't have made an exclusivity deal). It's all about having that one killer app that sells your consoles, and right now Microsoft has it and Sony doesn't. Microsoft isn't…

I'm assuming those millions of people who buy and play Call of Duty games care. I get it, you're a gaming hipster, and you stopped playing CoD back before it was "cool," and now you only play indie games I've probably never heard of, but this is a gaming website. Why wouldn't they talk about the most popular gaming…

No way. Microsoft's exclusivity check was cut to EA, not Respawn. This was EA's decision all the way. MS was likely willing to put up a huge amount of cash (enough to cover what EA is losing on potential PS4 sales) in order to have a "killer app" that would give them a leg up on the console launch competition. …

I understand not having a gaming PC, but I can't imagine being someone who wants to play Titanfall, but doesn't want a gaming PC.

I disagree. XB1 has a list of exclusives that hits several different genres. Dead Rising, Rise, Killer Instinct, Forza, Crimson Dragon....
