Diablo 3 for Xbox One Will Run In 1080p After Day-One Patch

When a developer says, "it's locked at 30" or "60" it means that it is capped from going beyond that value and that it is at least hitting that mark 50% of the time. Now, some developers do mean "solidly" and you will seem them state that...from time, to time. When a console is locked at a "solid 60fps" it meeting that, that threshold is being met the majority of the time, around the clock. Take the majority of games touted as 60fps, such as Battlefield 4, for PS4. It is the worse of the bunch. The majority of the time it is hovering around 45fps and only seldom actually hits 60 or even goes beyond the low 50's. There are framerate videos out there on it.
So, why is Blizzard acting like this is such a big deal? Just market it as a 60fps and be on your way...that's what most others are doing. EVERY SINGLE console game marketed as 30/ 60FPS drops below that mark, up to 50% of the time. Think of it that way. If a developer claims "solid," then take it more seriously and that figure is probably trimmed down to only around, 5-10%
The funny thing about the console industry...they poison your mind into thinking that it has to either be "this round number" or "that round number..." not even many PC's are running a silky-smooth, fixed 60FPS...and many of us will trade off our 60FPS for extra quality graphics/ flitering....we're happy if a game is averaging 45-60+FPS. 45 FPS looks virtually indistinguishable from 60...but there is a difference between 30fps vs 40-45fps.
Face it, framerate dips occur! Just because a game gives you 60fps in corridors/ rooms, but drops to 40-50 in open spaces, doesn't mean it needs to be framerate locked at 30fps or the resolution dropped. That's stupid thinking and it makes no sense...and anyway, when has a top-down hack n' slash RPG ever been demanding on a console? I've seen the screenshots, if Blizzard has a hard time running that at 1080p/ 60fps then they have the most in efficient, shit graphics engine out there and I somehow refuse to believe that, that is the case. I can probably run the PC version of this game at around 120fps, with ease. In fact, my wife, with her GTS450 1.5GB Nvidia card can probably run this at 1080p/ 60fps...and that isn't as powerful as what is in these consoles.

blizzard and their 2004 graphics. lol pretending it was hard to make this 1080p

Graphics party

Xbot: *Crashes Party*..........We have a 1080p game you losers!!

PS4 & PC Users: *Blank stares with crickets chirping*

great

What i don't understand is why this patch isn't already in the game at launch since is a day one patch, doesn't make any sense. Unless...hmmm.

Even though I'm glad that the Xbox One players will be able to enjoy the 1920x1080p native resolution with 60 FPS, I just wish that I could be able to import my PC characters on the next-generation consoles.

So a low impact graphic game still needs a patch to reach 1080?!?

Jesus this system sucks...

I wonder if the patch actually boosts the resolution from 900p to 1080p or if it is just going to upscale it. I assume the latter.

I bet it hurt Eddie Makuch to write this story. Like physically hurt him.

If I could use my existing PC characters I'd purchase it. Good move for X1. Don't understand why it wasn't done prior to launch though. Always felt kinda iffy about day one patches.

I'm happy for the xbone owners since now they can enjoy the game on higher res.

And the Sony fanboys GOES NUTS!!!! Also calling this game GARBAGE now! You guys got double standards leaking outta your ears! -__-

Doesn't matter much, the game has terrible art assets anyway even in 1080p it looks like crap. Textures looks like they're from the 1990's.

sweet, still getting the ps4 version however

The power of the X1 is finally showing!!!!! Being able to run a low demanding game in 1080p is great news. What about Witcher, Far Cry, AC Unity, Batman??

And long may the Sony Sheep brigade cry themselves to sleep

Good to hear even if I'm picking it up for PS4

Yay!

a 2 d game 1080 p. riiiight. still looks 2 d i bet. Honestly how does this make a headline

if it does not run at REAL 1080p on my precious PS4 I will sue. again.
