New Wolfenstein will be 1080p on Xbox One

1 min read

When I play zis game, I will be sitting in mein kampfy chair.

Man, Xbox One owners have been getting the short end of the stick of late. Most games have run at lower resolutions and worse frame-rates than their PlayStation 4 counterparts. Even the system’s Flagship title, Titanfall, fails to hit that 1080p sweet spot.  Some good news then; Wolfenstein: The New Order will be 1080p/60fps on the Xbox One. I bet you did Nazi that coming.

This information comes from OnlySP, who confirmed the resolution with Bethesda. The game has been set for that smooth 60fps across all platforms since inception – but the Xbox One resolution was until now, unconfirmed. It’s running on idTech 5 – so it’s likely that the PC version is going to be capped at 60fps too. And it’ll be 60fps on 360 and PS3 too.

Don’t worry PlayStation 4 fans; the game has been confirmed to run at that resolution and frame-rate on your platform of choice too. Führer information to come out of the previews is that the game will have a 12-15 hour single player campaign – which is a lot for a shooter these days. Hopefully MachineGames can manage to keep it fresh and interesting throughout. According to neoGAF, you can dual wield sniper rifles on the moon…so yeah, I think it ‘s Goering to be great.

Here’s OPM’s video preview, showing you the game in action – and how it retains that insane 90’s sensibility, but has a sombre, dark tone more common in modern games. I haven;t played a good old-school shooter in ages. Hard Reset tried to capture that spirit and was a pretty decent game, but it was just too short. And it didn’ let me kill Nazis.

        Eh? No one’s taking multiplayer away from you for other games. Just nice to have a FPS that has no multiplayer, too, which means 100% on single player. COD etc, still there and I’m not dismissing them. Enjoy!

          Disagree, RTCW was a great SP game, one of the best. But the MP was epic too! It add so much more value to the game and that is where most fans put 99% of the hours into. And we the fans have been waiting a long time for a successor. And to even suggest COD is an alternative to RTCW or ET is blasphemy! 😀

            You are talking about old games where they actually cared about SP and MP and about the gamer and not their own pockets ?!?

            You cannot compare it now …. You will rarely find a FPS game in the 21st century that will have an awesome 20hour+ SP and an awesome MP game.

            @Tauriq Moosa trying to say that he would rather have a SP only FPS game with proper content than a half arsed 3hour SP game with MP.

            Maybe, but if I had the choice I’d rather let the new Wolf be MP

            February 27, 2014 at 10:52

            Yeah exactly. Glad people have their MP, but there are fewer single-player focused FPS’s and I would like more. Last great one was Dishonored. (About to start Thief – even if it’s “bad”, it’s still at least attempting to focus on SP.)

            That we should be happy that the new Wolf does not have MP.

            Nope. What the 60fps cap does, is that it removes inconsistency. Higher framerate feels better, provided you have consistent framerate. For a movie you don’t have input, but for a game each input is updated faster with a higher framerate.
            But if you have a 60hz lcd, its not going to look better, only feel better. On a 120hz CRT or low persistence display it will look smoother too.

    I rest my case!
    EDIT: My case being that we can now please put this bullshit pixel counting to rest! Xbox One is more than capable of outputting at 1080p 60fps! It is more complicated to code for the Xbone (common knowledge) so I blame the developers for sub par performance on multiplat games! Does it really make a difference? I don’t think so! If this means it will degrade gameplay I’d prefer an option to change to a lower resolution please! Some fanboys got caught up in this pixel counting crap and fail to notice the reality! Thief runs like crap on PS4, it’s more jittery than an alcoholic in church on a Sunday morning FFS! KZ had the same shit, forcing Sony to ad an option to lock at 30fps via an update! Most pixel counters have not played both versions or don’t even own a next gen console but they just love mouthing off and joining the masses! Maybe they’re looking for acceptance, maybe they’re just hipsters, I don’t know. Anyway, I’ll keep an eye on this game to see how the gameplay is before I decide to get it! I’, sure this pixel counting shit will continue for a couple of years, myself though, I’ll be playing Titanfall (which might just also come out at 1080p if some sources are to be believed!)

    If the XBone can handle this game at 1080p / 60fps… Then what does that say about the engine? Either it’s below expectations or it’s a bloody good engine! Guess we’ll have to wait and see when it’s launched.
