Nothing matters.

As far as freedom I can take my disc and do whatever the hell I want with it, on PC not so much at least not legally.

Did it matter last gen? Shouldn’t matter this gen. Uncharted was 720p. Did you care? Most Multiplats were 720p at most last year between both consoles. Did you get the 360 version of the game, or the PS3? And think before you answer that last question.

“If resolutions matter, then gamers would get PCs already.”
Dumbest shit i read today. I play on consoles and want the highest resolution for my games. Should I not care how my games look because I play on consoles?

Another note. I didn’t care about resolutions when I built my PC in 2009. I only did it to play Team Fortress 2. Not Crysis.

Have you actually read the Lens of Truth/Digital Foundry? And are we talking about strictly resolutions? And you’re right almost all games performed better on the 360 last gen. You forgot one thing, the majority games were running at 720p, NOT 1080p ON BOTH consoles.

“People didn’t by 1080p TVs for nothing”. I’m still waiting for 1080p content for cable television. Other than Blu-ray and On-demand movie streaming. There isn’t much content. Last gen consoles didn’t help it either.

I love when people say that consoles = freedom. You’re wrong on some many levels.

You’re confusing resolution with graphics and not looking at the big picture. Stop putting PC gamers in one group. Its more complex than you think.

Resolution may not matter to you but it obviously matters to many others or this wouldn’t keep coming up.

It always mattered. You must have been living on a deserted island last gen if you missed all those multi plat comparisons from Lens of Truth and Digital Foundry. Almost all games performed better on the 360 thus helping almost all multi plats to sell better on the 360. People didn’t buy 1080p tvs for nothing. If resolution didn’t matter they would have stuck with 480p.

Also, what you have to understand is most gamers prefer the ease, convenience, affordability, and freedom of consoles so PC gaming is out of the question for lots of console gamers. I’m not a PC gamer but I’m pretty sure keeping up the highest resolutions is pretty expensive.

I disagree FSB that resolution matters but agree Hardline on PS4 will overtake X1 sales.

I continue to submit the argument that people are generally dumb. Yes Ill use that broad brush without any qualms.

I did like the title of this episode and its very very appropriate for the discussion you all wanted to have. Although Richard taking into account the difference in a single games sales ( X1 vs PS4 ) as a barometer for whether or not resolution matters is really light on substance. I believe Jake pointed out rightly so the genre of the game is more important/relevant to a difference in sales on a platform than resolution. Some games are associated with certain consoles or experiences.

Resolution whores are out there but I dont think people are informed enough to care or as Gary said to even really know the difference between 900p and 1080p. All they know is who they killed and who killed them.

Always enjoy hearing Charles on the show.

If resolutions matter, then gamers would get PCs already. It didn’t matter last gen and gamers had great games all across the board. If it didn’t matter then, why should it matter now?

Actually if you look at the statistics for amount of players online for the game you will see the PS4 has the highest amount worldwide. BFH did sell better on XB1 in the US though.

If you are one of the many gamers fed up with EA promising the moon and releasing a buggy product instead, this is the time to really be critical of what you see.

In fact, let’s forget the exclusives for a second and think of it like this; people have been asking for a sequel to Battlefront 2 for years. We are finally getting one, but the catch is that it’s being published by a company who has shown that while it can change for the better, it has also demonstrated time and time again that it can make fucking with consumers look like an art form. It’s also being developed by a studio which like I said, whose past launches leave a lot to be desired.

What I’m trying to say is if there was ever a time step back and take a wait and see approach with a game, this is the one.

I really want this to work out, but there’s just too many questions and caution lights at the moment.

I’ll take 30 fps more (60 fps) ANYDAY over resolution! Look at the Forza first week sales! They prove it! Thats why last years most beautiful game was Titan Fall at 792P but A blistering Framerate of 60fps or less, more then made up for it BITCH! Just look at last years March NPDs. Titan Fall changed EVERYTHING just like Otherzinc predicted!!!!. Having the price advantage, XBOX LIVE GAMES FOR GOLD takes a proverbial DUMP on PS PLUS! This is why games aren’t playable on the Playstation Network AT ALL!. The extra $10.00 is worth it HANDS down and thats a Fuckin FACT!

The batteries in my XBONE controller and headset adaptor is brilliant as FUCK!!! Microsoft and XBOXONE is FLAWLESS and has NEVER made a mistake, NEVER!!! PS4 has absolutely NO games, NO Features, a do nothing Camera that just is a good camera, and the controller SUCKS balls!(Not Opinion-FACT! Look it up Bitch!) Im playing FORZA 5, MCC and watching Halo TV for 8 months + while the poor PONY’s play BloodBorne, and shitty multiplats at the highest resolutions across the board…. FUCK that!!!. IDIOTS! Thats why OTHERZINC is the shit. Investors see what Forza 5 is doing for the BONE! and DAMMIT Ill play FORZA 5 every damn day and screw you if you think you are having more fun than me ya retarded bastards! Halo MCC is not a port and has fuckin ALWAYS worked! ALWAYS!!!

PONYS lied and show me one game that compares and I’ll tell you to kiss my Ass because you aint shi and Sony laid off EvERYONE n the history of the company and doesn’t have money for a BigMac and Small Fries!!! Project Morpheus isn’t real because they can’t afford to release it! DONT BALEE ME JUS WATCH! The investors Know that the XBOX is outselling PS4 here in America because Mark Cerny lied, I don’t trust him and,..AND.. Forza 5 is 60 Frames per second! Mark Cerny’s pathetic shirt will be the reason fans stop buying PS4s, I garuntee it Bitches! When’s the last time you looked at that shirt! Go look again! I garuntee you will throw your PS4 in the damn trash!

Richard, Charles, GARY all of those fools have no more knowledge then me because I’ve actully wiped Bill Gates ass and saw Windows 10 from my house BITCH! Im calling it now, Direct X12 will double the power of the XBOXONE’s CPU AND GPU and make Hot chocolate all at the same time! and the PS4 GDDR5 will not get any better and will actually tap out in power! My gaming Acumen is off the charts and you will believe me or ill shit in my pants! Mark Cerny’s security guard will not stop me! I will take his shirt and wear it on the next Co-op podcast if they let me get on the show and talk over everybody!

AYE CHARLES! CHARLES!!! What chew got CHARLES!! I WIN! I WIN! You loose because you can’t understand my logic/Acumen!

Aye TONY! Tony! You gone talk TONY!?!!! What games the PS4 got TONY?!!! Huh TONY? Im waiting….. Let me know when there is an opening for me to get Psychiatric treatment please! Thats what I really need. Until you do that for me, I will continue to spew piles and piles of BULLSHI!!! like I do everyday for the honor of Microsoft! Knowing that I am neither a business man or a Investor. I just talk shi and obsess over Mark Cerny’s shirt! One day he will bloody notice me! I’ll be BACK! Gotta go to work

– OtherZinc’s conscience

I’m sure people like Ori & Scream Ride, however, I’m glad they aren’t on the list. Indie Games are filler games till the AAAs arrive. Investors aren’t high on such games unless they’re near Minecraft status.

I have no idea where you get your numbers.

Hardline may have sold better on XBOX ONE due to online being King with XBOX Live.

Resolution isn’t as important as FPS. No one on earth wants choppy Internet (for example only), nor choppy stuttering gameplay due to up & down Frame Rates.

This is why I like Forza Motorsport 5 & can’t wait for Forza Motorsport 6 this fall. The FPS in Motorsport never drops no matter the cars on screen. The game is always at a blistering pace.

@Final_Stage_Boss,

Terrible, Dameon wasn’t on the show this time so I should not have listened.

So yes, resolution does matter.
