IW says they are both native 1080p, sp and mp :S

And so it was with the X1 version until it wasn't. We'll have to wait and see.

The MP/SP resolution difference would explain the relative X1 frame rate comparison for MP and SP.

If they'd captured the video at it's native resolution, the words 'Logan Walker' should be rendered in crystal-clear 1080P... it isn't.

How does the text appear on PC?

Good question. Watching the video in motion, that text is expanded using a rather low-tech effect, so the aliasing may be a byproduct of that rather than a helpful hint .

All I can think is to look at the UI elements for aliasing - as, obviously, the XB1 UI simply should not have them if it's a native 1080P feed.

 

[AlNom]

mm... Yeah, I was curious about the HUD too. I suppose wait and see for retail captures I suppose.

Whats the resolution here?

They say PC is running at 1080p
(Geforce 780 GTX, 14 GB RAM, maximale Grafikeinstellungen, mit Fraps aufgezeichnet in 1080p)

Allow me to suggest that the answer from IW has a whiff of 'bull manure' about it.

Day 1 patch for the PS4 to make the SP 1080p native.

That's that then. Any further commentary can be taken to the other thread.

edit: @Cyan post moved to other thread.

I had written my post before reading yours.

That's it then. Still, the Polygon reviewer has a great sense of vision.

NFS:Rivals 1080p on both PS4 and X1.

Dunno about the resolution but Rayman Legends will have uncompressed textures on PS4 and Xbox One.

[Gitaroo]

buy rayman is mostly 2d assets.......

 

[Inuhanyou]

actually is 3D assets mushed into a 2D plane

 

[Sigfried1977]

Still, that's like going from a max quality jpg to a png. Strikes me as very pointless. "Now our game takes up 4 times as much space on your tiny-ass HDD for no discernibly visible reason. Enjoy!"
Rayman looks pin sharp on every platfrom already. (the 3ds version of the first game was awful, though)

 

[betan]

PNG is compressed. (relatedly, misleading headline?)

Also some lossless compression algorithms may work better for mostly flat textures with occasional sharp changes, compared to cosine transform based lossy compression algorithms.

 

[taisui]

PNG is designed to do primarily lossless compression.
The "uncompressed" in Rayman probably means "lossless" or "lower compression ratio"

 

[Shifty Geezer]

PNG is compressed. (relatedly, misleading headline?).

I think it's self-evident they mean 'not lossy compressed' as lossless compression wouldn't make any actual difference. It'd just increase load speeds!

I think it's self-evident they mean 'not lossy compressed' as lossless compression wouldn't make any actual difference. It'd just increase load speeds!

Because hdd read speeds are slower than cpu/mem combo, raw (uncompressed) images would actually slow load times in contrast to any reasonable compression technique.
