    That's a crazy patch!

    Has any patch done that before?

    Zone of the Enders 2 on PS3.

    Though that was a complete trainwreck of a port, so the "patch" is actually the entire game re-done by a different team. Without the patch, the game is 1280x720 and struggles between 40 and 60fps. After the patch (New Team) the game is 1920x1080 and runs at a solid 60fps locked along with extra graphical details and particle effects.

    Thus proving a lot of **** ups in ports is down to the teams used.

    yeah the frame rate issues are from the unpatched upscaled from 720p version

    So it's currently upscaled to 1080p as opposed to native ?

    And yet all these "experts" everywhere online were claiming it was so easy to tell the difference, and stating that the PS4 was native 1080, while taking screen shots to "prove it" ?

    it depends on if they were using a retail disc or older code to review from

    "...Indeed, even the occasional screen-tear generated by the game is upscaled from 720p."

    I think there are a lot of reviewers eating crow at the moment. I don't want to say Polygon
    BUT I WILL :D

    Stupid question, which is worse:

    a. IW knew about this and lied

    b. IW didn't know about this massive cockup of GAFtastic proportions

    So after all the debate about which version is better, I guess we can all agree that this game is little bit broken. The 2 extra platforms were probably just too much to crank out in a year.

    The gif in the opening post on Gaf sums it up well.

    http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=715089

    Have any reviewers commented on this? Did they review the patched version or the upscaled? Everybody that said they couldn't tell the difference may have been right lol.

    This is getting even more stupid. Polygon are now claiming they only played the mp on ps4, which means their score is based solely on the mp.

    And as we know MP looks worse than SP.

    So yeah. You'd think they'd have mentioned that earlier.

    Sooooo does this patch fix the "supposed" frame rate problem with the PS4 version?

    I'm slightly confused with all this and was wondering if his game is worth playing online with the frame rate issues being reported.

    There will be a launch day fix for the frame rate.

    On whether you should play it or not, well.... many people online are saying that it will be the last choice (after KZ:SF and BF4), and with a few free psn fps's also available from launch day, they won't buy it. But, each to their own; your choice.

    "...Let me try and get this straight.

    Activision/IW say that CoD:Ghosts is running at 1080p on PS4 and 720p on Xbox One.

    Activision/IW don't inform the media or consumers that a patch is needed for the resolution difference in singleplayer.

    Singleplayer runs at 720p on PS4 pre-patch but is still 1080p in multiplayer pre-patch (with some frame rate issues). Xbox One is 720p in both singleplayer and multiplayer.

    Members of the media compare the graphics in singleplayer and incorrectly surmise that you can tell the resolution difference.

    Members of the media compare the graphics in multiplayer and incorrectly summise that you can't tell the difference.

    Activison/IW reveal that a patch is required for the resolution bump along with potential frame rate fixes.

    This is a comedy."

    The submission packages can easily have different support configs for both retail and QA/press. There is no reason to think they weren't playing 1080 native.

    So the versions that reviewers played at the review events were 720p for the campaign on BOTH versions (according to Gaf), and nobody noticed that the PS4 was outputting 720p but they still claim that it looked superior even though technically it wasn't (at the time)? Wow, reminds me why I don't put much stock in what reviewers say...bravo Activision, you've successfully trolled reviewers everywhere :p

    And while all this Resolutiongate stuff goes off, EA confirm that NFS: Rivals runs at 1080p on both new consoles. I think it's quite clear here that it's Infinity Ward that are just crap at developing anything that isn't an Xbox 360 game...
