Call of Duty devs explain the Xbox One resolution difference

Cod ghosts

The PS4 certainly has the graphical advantage right now over the Xbox One when it comes to third party games. Take Call of Duty for instance, which has erupted on the net over the whole 1080P and 720P difference between the two consoles. There’s a reason for that HD difference according to the COD makers. And it doesn’t bode well for the Xbox One.

Speaking to Eurogamer, Infinity Ward boss Mark Rubin was upfront with why the Xbox One version of Call of Duty: Ghosts suffered a bump in resolution. It was all because of that 60 FPS running speed that Infinity Ward wanted to preserve on the console.

“It’s very possible we can get it to native 1080p [resolution]. I mean I’ve seen it working at 1080p native,” Rubin said. “It’s just we couldn’t get the frame rate in the neighborhood we wanted it to be.”

And it wasn’t a lack of effort. It wasn’t that it was like last minute. We had the theoretical hardware for a long time. That’s the thing you get pretty quickly and that doesn’t change dramatically.

It was more about resource allocation. The resource allocation is different on the consoles. That huge web of tangled resources, whether it’s threads-based or if it’s GPU threads or if it’s memory – whatever it is – optimization is something that could go theoretically on forever.

Right now, the PS4 is the bigger console when it comes to hardware and pure graphics. The Xbox One architecture is going to represent a challenge that developers will need to work around in the early days of the console, much like what happened with the PS3 when it first launched.

But in the long run, Rubin hopes that “both platforms will look way better” as the next-generation rolls on. “First launch, first time at bat at a new console is a challenging one,” Rubin said. “That’s just the way it is. For people fearful one system is more powerful than the other or vice versa, it’s a long game.”

      Short game if you own a PC 😛

      Not to mention the fact that PC owners can play their games from the 90s and pop the odd music CD in. Why the hell SONY will not even allow PS1 disks, MP3s or music CDs to work is is just pure greed. I do not care if they allow it in patch 1.00. update 2.0045 Firmware 2.0.

      ITS BOLLOCKS.

        Thing is though, if you own a PS1 game, chances are pretty good you own a PS1. It’s still useful if you want to play that PS1 game. For PC, with OS upgrades and space and so forth, its almost a requirement to move on and up. Remember, many, many, many old games don’t work on new OS’s. I can’t play Black & White, no matter how much I want to. I still have the disks. I can’t play Heroes of M&M 1-4 because Windows 7 (unless I rebuy the games off GoG). So it’s a bit of a shit one.

            I did. I got rid of the disk. That game was so much disappointment. It was way too easy, the creature was completely ignorable (you could literally ignore it and you’d feel nothing in terms of gameplay), and it was way too short. I started and finished it on 1 Saturday.

            One of the biggest let-downs of my gaming career.

        All I care about this time round is having the better more powerful console… I could care less about listening to mps while playing…Care about amazing games and a console that is not limited by resources and get the crappier version…Seems already the Xbone is starting to feel the burn!

          Yeah but again, its a long game. PS3 had a bad start, and it was the best console at the end. Xbone might just end up doing the same. Even the CoD dev admitted as much.

          It’s too early to judge, its launch, everything should be taken with a pinch of salt. Wait a year, see how the games progress, and buy next year December.

            Yes and no my friend yes and no! You see the BIG difference is Cell was technically more powerful than the Xbox 360 but its hardware was a bitch to use, that is what slowed it down… The Ps4 IS MORE powerful to begin with AND EASIER to design games … The Xbone is LESS powerful and MORE difficult to design games… So no… I see these issues becoming more common place than one would think… I could be very wrong… but its not like they need to learn the hardware to unlock more power than the ps4 here…

          • ToshZA

            November 5, 2013 at 09:48

            Technically, they do need to learn the hardware. ESRAM + DDR3 is new. They need to learn how it all works. How to push data efficiently through that pipeline. Its exactly like the Cell, only this time its RAM and not CPU being the major difference.

            GDDR5 is terrible for multitasking too, which I’ve said before. So while PS4 can push pixels much easier by default, if you want to do anything else at the same time, your game WILL suffer. Xbox won’t have that problem at all. And that fits just right with where MS is going with Xbox. They’ve created a social, ADHD-generation-friendly console. PS4 is for the reclusive people who have like 4 friends on their PSN. Like me. Muahaha.

            November 5, 2013 at 10:34

            I do not think it is a hardware problem the ESRAM-DDR3 setup is closer to the classic setup than Sony GDDR5 setup (I think Sony went all out on that design by including large and multiple data pipeline and caches to compensate for the latency).

            The dev’s comment on they had the hardware for a long time and that resource allocation is the problem give me the idea that they have a hard time competing for memory and processor resources with the OS, Kinect and all MS real time features. And with all the 180’s they probably had a lot of system changes forced on them during the final stages of development.

          • ToshZA

            November 5, 2013 at 10:42

            It still is a hardware problem, with the points you brought up. I do agree with most of your points, however I still believe the ESRAM-DDR3 combo is causing trouble. Remember, a console works differently to a PC, it allocates and uses resources differently. While the hardware is similar enough to a PC, its usage and function are very different. It’s like comparing an iPad to a MacBook. The hardware, and software are similar enough, but their core functions and implementations are vastly different.

            Using one type of RAM – GDDR5 – is easy enough to work around and it’s not brand new. Devs have been working with GDDR5 for years. ESRAM however, and its combination with DDR3 IS completely new. While they’ve had some time to work with it, its still much newer than GDDR5, and is essentially new architecture.

            Well the first year can make or break a product since it is so important in making back the huge R&D costs.

            Even with the PS3 being technology revolutionary and the best console during the end game the huge knock it took during the first couple of years eventually it is deemed a failure as a product and Sony still lost billions (estimations ranging from $1.5b to $4b).

            And we have seen in the past with Atari and Sega that it can mean the end of a console series.

          Talk about the FUTURE of the better more powerful machine.

          SONY made a dick move. No reason why they removed it unless they want to sell THEIR products to a trapped audience.

            I am with you on that. A console is for games and SONY never ever said that the PS4 will have MP3. But still, when one is paying so much for the pinnacle of gaming tech one would imagine that one could play a CD let alone a DVD.

            The next gen is an anti-climax.

            3 years on average. In the mean-time, we have PC’s (if I’m getting your posts correctly), so it’s not like we miss out on the “next-gen”. Plus all the best games will be on specials and classics or platinum status. We get a nice backlog to work through.

          its not the fact of if you actually use the mp3 player, its the fact they are trying to make money on something that doesnt cost anything to include. sony fans praise the playstation and we brag and boast about how good it is to others and we are dedicated to it mostly. for them to remove a option that even old computers have from the 1990s 20 years ago is just a slap in the face. it might just start off with a mp3 player you dont use but where does it stop at? in the world we live in we are getting use to accepting when we get screwed over and then it gets done over and over so much that they stretch a inch to a mile. next hting you know you have to pay to be online even though you alreayd pay your cable company to be online, then your double paying for online passes even though you already paid your cable company and your console company your now triple paying the game company. so how far do they take it? as far as we let them. if there wasnt this huge backlash about the mp3s who knows what sneaky thing they would try to make us pay for next. prob charge us 5 cents everytime we hit a button on the controller.

        i agree with everything you say but you actually cant use some old pc stuff, thats the whole shit of windows. i did graphics and music and accumilated alot of expensive programs. ive found that when i upgraded my computers the old programs wont run on newer windows so i have to keep my old computers just to use them. its really a shame, they make new technology but then you have to rebuy everything. its all a scheme for them to make more money.

        playstation is built on greed for money, wanna know why? research “petro dollar” its the fact other countrys need to build things in order to make americans buy them so they can make american money to buy oil. the same people who make all our products are related to music companys, which are related to movies, which are related to oil companys and this is all related to the one huge power the almighty banks which are linked to the federal reserve the people who make the money.

        supposenly they are patching the mp3s but it goes back to the old saying you give someone a inch and they expect a mile. sony knows xbox lovers paid for a gold membership, 60 bucks a year when they already pay for a internet connection. so they are double paying for something they already pay there cable company for lol. sony sees this and says hey we can get away with ps plus charging them but lets take it one step further lets see if we can make them pay for mp3s as well and if theres a backlash then we will already have the backup code ready to install.

        these game companys are sneaky, this is why i always complain about everything they try to pull, you have to or else they just let it go and say deal with it. you have to complain over and over and over again. some people say give them time the game just came out or chill out itll get fixed but chances are if they released it broke to begin with then that shows they dont care much about it even getting fixed

          hear hear. I have a friend at work that just re-plays his old games over and over and is not interested in modern gaming and all of the bullshit that comes along with it.

          I think he has the right idea, he is still a hardcore gamer as all of his free time is spent playing videogames. He just enjoys speed running his games over and over and over.

          We all think that the next gen is the next big thing. It is not. It still has exactly the same gameplay.

          So while the magpies all run around looking for that shiny piece of silver at the hands of some real greedy fat cats. Some gamers are still in heaven with their golden oldies.

          After seeing a handful of friends at work who all had the RROD 1 month after the warranty expire, it does not take the Bishop to figure out that gamers are the best demographic to pull a fast one on.

            AMD can’t keep up for the non-gaming stuff though, so it’s a solid rig, and future proof for at least 5 years. AMD would need to be updated in 3.

            Ah, see I earn a living using a PC for high-end non-gaming stuff. So it matters a LOT to me. In fact when buying my machine last year, I skimped on graphics card to get the i7 3770k instead of the i5. I’m feeling it now in games, but not in overall performance.

            So you work for Continental, or Prime Media perhaps?

            But yeah, web is frustrating (that code gets a bit much sometimes), but cool when you get it to work. Animation & Video is hard work but loads of fun, most of the time. But I mean, “how much do you like your sleep?” kind of hard work.

            hahaha I wish! Small Signage company! The code is the hard part about web.. Flash Websites I had a blast making.. Normal ones not so much… Always wanted to get into 3ds max and maya. Play around with Zbrush though.. I wouldn’t mind the sleep part… I struggle to fall asleep as it is lol..

            Ah then you’re like me. Perfect for the industry. It’s like it was designed for insomniacs. Flash websites are great, but they don’t work on iPads and are not the most viable for our local market. Web in general is moving away from flash and into dynamic Jquery/Javascript & CSS/HTML5 as well, so yeah. It has its place, but its lost its charm.

            November 5, 2013 at 11:11

            Yeah I really need to start teaching myself everything.. Been 2 years since did any Web designing.. I miss CSS/Html and javascript to be honest.. Miss Actionscript in flash too lol. thinking Should look into it… But problem is really want to get into 3ds Max

    I looked at comparison shots sitting in front of my 27 inch 1080p screen, and the difference was night and day… then I took the same shots downstairs to my 42 inch 1080p tv, sat a bit closer than I normally sit, and couldn’t tell which was which. I think it’s because both had MSAA applied though… I distinctly remember being annoyed by 720p PS3 games previously. Which are the worst current-gen offenders? Having said that, it’s quite nice to sit right up close to the tv when playing FIFA or a splitscreen game… at which point 1080p is a must

    If you want best graphics, go PC. If you want best all in one entertainment, go Xbone. If you’re not sure what you want and this whole “gaming” thing confuses you, go PS4!

    PS: How is it possible for Forza 5 to run at 1080p/60fps.

      It’s easy. In racing games like forza the only heavily rendered objects are the cars racing on track. The background objects usually move very little and are not nearly as detailed. Basically “static” compared to the cars on track. So there is much more hardware resources just allocated to the cars.

      Then you get more open world racing games where the environment is more interactive or more multi-player elements are added. Hence the framerate drops to 30fps. More resources need to keep the cars looking good but have to crunch through all the other extra activity as well.

      Good example was Forza Horizon compared to Forza 4 on current gen.

      But yeah….in theory……with the new generation the problem should not exist….

      Forza 5 is a First party game.

      They have had time to work close with Ms and with the console long before the “3rd party” devs.
      So I think its just a new hardware thing, once they work it out all games on both consoles will be 1080p.

    What is really funny is how MS went out of their way to market COD, I mean really, Twitter and Facebook are spammed with ads. Did they foresee a shortage of sales on xbox or are they just hand in pocket with Activision?

    Scary thing to see how developers are struggling with both consoles to hit 1080p 60fps with all the bells and whistles enabled. Either 30fps/lower resolution with some features enabled or 1080p 60fps with features disabled.

    Same like with the UFC article. All I read there through the cleverly disguised PR talk is the consoles are not powerful enough to do what was originally the intended plan.

    Hopefully it’s just the lack of optimization but this does not look good in the long run. By the end of the next five years some PC GPU’s will most likely run 4k at high settings as easy as they run 1080p now.

    This resolution nonsense should have been a thing of the past.

      Like this gen, they all harp on about 1080 and then realise that they can save their money by making 720 the standard.
      The consoles have 8gigs of RAM, I am sure they can kick out 40000pi but bugger it. If FAR CCRY 3 can make a good profit with its 25 frames a second then expect more cost saving.

    Honestly I believe its lazy development. I mean Dice said through a patch they will optimize the Xbox version or Battlefield 4 by adding to it. Dice deserves the real money here for making their game fully optimized at the end. COD is out the door regardless. I’ve seen some articles that stated Mr Rubin was saying he believes Titanfall will be 720p also. I’ll laugh if it’s running at a higher resolution than COD. I might borrow call of duty but I’m not buying it. I will show just as much effort playing their game as they have making it.
