Microsoft has once again decided to respond to the Resolutiongate scandals that have been plaguing them since the console’s release. For those of you who haven’t been keeping up with the scandal, games on the Xbox One don’t always run in 1080p, nor do they always run at 60fps. Meanwhile the PlayStation 4 seems to run pretty much every title in 1080p.
So what do they have to say? Apparently resolution isn’t that important. “Resolution alone is not the final determination regarding if a game looks great or not,” said Microsoft studio manager Mike Ybarra. “It’s one of many different levers and it’s up to the game teams to decide what is best for their unique game experience.”
Ybarra was speaking in response to a comment about Ryse: Son of Rome . The game only runs in 900p, but is still considered a very graphically adept title. Then again, it’s gameplay is kind of lacking, so a 1080p resolution may not have saved the title on the market.
