Phil Spencer says not to Define Games by Resolution and Framerate

4.5
Xbox boss Phil Spencer has once again taken to Twitter to hint new information about his next set of plans and announcements. First of all, he believes that having 60 frames per second in the game does not make a better game. When bugged by fans about the lack of Xbox One games that support 60 frames per second on the console, he stated that there are a lot of games on the console that support that standard but one should not define a game’s quality by resolution or frame rate.

Moving ahead, he also commented on the recent announcement that Sony won’t be attending Gamescom. He stated. “I saw that news. Makes sense, E3 and GC are very close this year, more challenging on news. Paris show is a good show.” Spencer’s comment here makes a ton of sense since E3 is taking place later and Gamescom is happening a bit earlier than their usual dates.

He also revealed that he will be at Gamescom this year, indicating that Microsoft itself will be attending the show in Cologne. Furthermore, it seems that Microsoft have relaxed their ID@Xbox Policy for Lab Zero Games. The company tweeted to Spencer and asked him whether they can have a chat to end a certain policy. Spencer stated that: “I’m glad this worked out. Happy to get your input on how we run ID@Xbox. DM me.” We are not sure what that policy is but one can assume that it’s ID@Xbox controversial parity clause. We have followed up with Lab Zero Games to get more information on this.

Better FPS and resolution is obviously better, but they do not define whether a game is better or worse than a competitor.

lolohnoeszsz FPS and resolution don't matter? Lol are you kidding me? So a game that's advertised to be 60 fps constantly dips into the 30's is ok? A game that's not even 1080p and has jaggies everywhere is ok?


The mindset of these xbox guys is stupid.


So you telling me, when you are playing a fast paced game such as call of duty, fifa, battlefield etc you sit there and admire the graphics? No you dont! even in single player games i would rather have a bigger/longer story then worry about graphics too much as that is what gives you the enjoyment. Yes fps and resolution maybe important at times but not as much as some of you make it out to be, if you really gives a shit about fps and resolution stop crying about little frame rate drops and just buy a pc which should fit your needs. Both console's xbox one and ps4 are good in their own right, simple as that.

I don't understand you guys. "I agree, who cares about graphics"

Ok, using that logic go play games from the early 80-90s if you really don't care.

I agree with him, I'd rather have a great game with good graphics instead of an decent game with brilliant graphics.

Erza Who cares about who has the better graphics play what you want


PS4 users. I personally could care less who has better graphics. I went with Xbox One because that's where my friends are and that's just what I've been playing for years and years. Plus it has better exclusives :D

Honestly Xbox Is the better console, Ps4 May be slightly better graphics wise, but it's nothing compared to PC. So I'll take a slight graphic loss and bunch of extra features, instead of a slight better graphic and not to much else besides gaming.

If I cared enough about graphics I'd be on PC

CM_Punk_BITW Yeah phil, good job try to minimize the damage, but we know the console can't handle 1080p.


That sucks how 360 can handle 1080p but the One cannot.

If people are defining the best console my FPS and resolution.. doesn't that mean all Playstation fanboys admit PC is better as it doesn't have a capped framerate and supports 4k resolution?
