Xbox one representative said that it will play games in 4K resolution?!?!

[Tundral]

Hello, a few weeks ago I was at Digiexpo in Helsinki (<--- capital of Finland). Its the biggest nordic games and electronics convention.

 

There was an Xbox booth there where you could test the thing, after waiting for like 20min first. And me and my dad had a chat with this Xbox one representative person and I asked him that will the Xbox one be able to run games in 4K resolution and he said something like (NOT a direct quote) "Yes totally, like the old Xbox 360, the Xbox one is made futureproof and will run games in 4K resolution".

 

At this point i was like WTF. with the quality settings that most games are at it will run them about 50-60FPS, how the **** could it possibly run them in 4K resolution, even if it supports Mantle which will give devs the ability to make games more and more optimized I don't think it will be even near to running games at 2K.

 

I would like to get your opinion of this and maybe spark a little bit of conversation.

he must have a HUGE paycheck to say that.... and stupid fanboys to beleive it...

[Kirihuna]

It does play 4K.

 

Upscaled.

[MJSBLUES]

For most games it will upscale, only for games that dont require much horsepower it will run at native 4k.

[Sarcasm]

You people realize that every system can run at 4K resolutions right? Assuming the hardware supports 4K output, any game can be played in 3820x2160.

[helping]

it doesn't even run games at 1080p, 4k would be like a slideshow

 

 

not a normal powerpoint slideshow either, I'm talking windows photo viewer slide show, because that shits fuqd up. 

[Snickerzz]

Its upscaled, like how the 360 plays 1080p... Upscaled from 420

[kuzimins]

Yeah it will, at -5 fps.

[EChondo]

Because of the HDMI limitation 4k will only be playable at 30FPS max.

[simtransporter]

Depends on the game... Technically it could easily play a simple game like 2D chess, pong, or minesweeper at 4K resolution.

[Extingquish]

Because of the HDMI limitation 4k will only be playable at 30FPS max.

and because of the xbox's gpu 

[Tundral]

For most games it will upscale, only for games that dont require much horsepower it will run at native 4k.

 

I don't believe it could even run anything natively at 2K, anything more intensive than minesweeper 

[GoodBytes]

I don't get why people have trouble understanding this... anything can output 4K, you don't need power to run a 4K resolution. You just need a connector that supports it.

If the screen is black, and had the connector for, I am sure the old Wii can output 16K resolution at 500fps, if it wanted too.

4K will probably be Blu-ray video playback, and at best, simplistic 2D indie game or some minimum graphics upscale, on BOTH (XBox One and PS4) console.

The power of marketing. Can we go back to bed now?

Here is how its goign to work...

 

4K@30FPS and crap graphics

 

4K@30FPS rendered at 1080P or less then upscaled to 4K.

 

I seriously doubt the Xbox will render a native 4K image without any trickery.
