I don't own any console (PC gamer) but I find it funny that PS4 owners go on about 1080p @60fps all the time, yet Killzone ShadowFall runs at 960x1080 (not the standard 1920x1080) and still only manages to average 50fps.

"Shadow Fall uses a horizontal interlace, with every other column of pixels generated using a temporal upscale - in effect, information from previously rendered frames is used to plug the gaps."

Quite pathetic really.

  • Keep your discussions around what belongs here: platforms, games, developers, publishers, and stats.
  • Do NOT quote more than two images in your post.
  • Do NOT have more than four quotes in your post (quote pyramids).
  • Do NOT post or bump extremely abusive discussions (account suicide threads/adult material/illegal activities/illegal advertising/etc).

960x1080 for Killzone ShadowFall ... interesting... What happened to 1920x1080p?...

You put next gen and 720p in the same boat... shame on you. Nothing in our day n age should be anywhere near close to the fugly 720p.

Flagged. Ask one of your buddies to create a topic on this. I didn't even know about the Killzone resolution if true. Hell, I don't even own a next gen system yet.

Just for shit n giggles.......

Would a 1080p/30fps game run on a 720p TV have higher than 30fps or would it be locked at 720p/30fps?

The reality of these next gen console's is that both of them are underpowered. Both should be using something like a 7970ghz and up. They should have also gone with stronger cpu cores, I don't see why they couldn't have AMD stuff is not expensive.
