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.

I agree that a game shouldn't be judged on the ability of the system hardware.
A brilliant game will be brilliant regardless of resolution/frame rate.

However, the standard of 1080p @ 60FPS should be one that can be achieved by the game. If anything, I would rather run a slightly lower resolution to achieve 60FPS instead of 1080p at 30FPS. The game feels much smoother and is more enjoyable.

I think that's the key point here, the game quality isn't defined by the resolution and frame rate but the game's feel is.

both consoles are crap compared to pc's but he is right in terms of consoles dont judge it by res and fps cause they probably wont be better in that aspect either way, just try to play the games and enjoy them, its a choice what platform you play on, i chose pc because i saw more pros to it.

Because he knows the PS4 has better resolution and framerate on most games, unlike every Xbox fanboy.
