Microsoft says 1080p Xbox One games will become more common
Xbox director of development Boyd Multerer told OXM he "fully" expects more developers to hit 1080p over time, saying: "The [graphics processing units] are really complicated beasts this time around."
Multerer said that as developers learn the ins and outs of the Xbox One hardware, they will eventually be able produce far better looking games.
"The hardware is basically baked," he said, "and what comes next is people discovering better software techniques to take advantage of it, especially in the ordering of the data so it flows through all the caches correctly, and I think there's a lot of opportunity there."
He also claimed the developers of Xbox One launch titles didn't have a lot of time to tweak their games and get them 1080p ready in time for launch.
"Once these engines - the engine developers like Frostbyte and those guys - they really wrap their heads around this particular GPU architecture, then all of the titles coming out of that studio will take advantage of it and get better," he said.
However, Multerer was also quick to state that resolution isn't everything. "Part of it is learning how to tune, part of it is I think a very legitimate question of quality of pixels versus number of pixels, and of course both are interesting."
A number of multiplatform games have rendered at a higher resolution on PS4 than Xbox One since the two consoles released in November 2013, including high profile release like Call of Duty Ghosts and Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. And some Microsoft platform exclusives like Titanfall have also failed to launch at 1080p.

OdinToque What does BF4 run at? Because really that almost looks better than forza 5 which I know runs at 1080p
I think it runs at 900p upscaled to 1080p which isn't much of a difference.
it runs at 720p on xbone - 900p on PS4 :P

I don't really care if a game is 1080p. I can't really tell the difference between 720p, and 1080p.

MedionMiss Very good news. Was really disappointed when I heard it only supports 720p at first. Glad 1080 is coming back, it's a lot better than 720 in my opinion.
Only supports 720p? What are you talking about? Xbox One has had games at 1080p since launch.
It's not common though, less than 10% of the XB1 games are native 1080p.

Am i the only one that just doesn't care for resolution? All new games look good through my eyes. I still play Call of Duty 2 and enjoy it.

PC nerds need to really descend from their high horse, the ps4 fanboys really need to understand that there isn't much of a difference, and the Microsoft trolls need to quit taking everything so personally. There is a great ball of energy outside called the sun, utilize it.
