Microsoft Defending Xbox One And Games With No 1080p

Ryse Son of Rome (1)

Microsoft has continued to defend the Xbox One and the lack of games that can output in full 1080p.

Microsoft’s studio manager Mike Ybarra told MyXboxLive the following about the topic:

Resolution alone is not the final determination regarding if a game looks great or not. 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.

Basically he’s saying that resolution shouldn’t really matter if the game is good or not. He went on to say that Ryse: Son of Rome is one of the best looking games on Xbox One even though its resolution is only 900p.

Do you really care if next-gen games are 1080p or not?
