Call of Duty: Ghosts will only run at a native resolution of 720p, but this won’t be the case for all Xbox One games. We already know that launch title Forza 5 is pushing the full 1080p resolution, and now Harmonix has confirmed that Fantasia: Music Evolved will pump out 1080p visuals too.
“The Xbox One version of Disney Fantasia: Music Evolved runs at 1080p natively,” lead programmer Mike Fitzgerald told Gameranx. “The Xbox 360 version is at 720p.”
Fitzgerald explained that the “gameplay in Fantasia: Music Evolved only requires us to run at 30fps, which has let us focus on making our frame-to-frame visuals really shine”.
He explained that a balancing act is required with all video games.
“There’s always a balance that needs to be struck between resolution, frame rate, and graphical fidelity,” he said. “If you want to add a complicated lighting effect, for example, you may need to spend more time per-pixel rendering it. If you want to hit an aggressive frame rate goal without sacrificing your lighting and other effects, you might want to reduce your game’s effective resolution.
“Every game has to make tradeoffs on these three axes. With Fantasia: Music Evolved, we’ve been able to prioritize resolution and graphical fidelity while running at 30fps, which we feel successfully elicits the magic of Fantasia.”
Fantasia will feature music tracks from over 25 leading artists, each with two unique remixes in addition to the original recording.
Expect more info as the game’s 2014 release nears.
