Frame-rate over resolution in Star Wars Battlefront

But it still looks rather nice.

As some of you might have noticed, neither the PlayStation 4 nor Xbox One runs Star Wars Battlefront in full HD, 1080p. A fan took to Twitter to ask DICE why this was the case, who was answered by technical director on Frostbite at Electronic Arts, Johan Andersson, who wrote: "frame rate & fidelity is indeed king, dont want to sacrifice it for resolution. but a choice each game team does."

Because of this we now have a game that runs smoothly in 900p on PS4, and 720p on Xbox One. This is the same resolution that was used in another Frostbite game earlier this year, Battlefield: Hardline.

Thanks, DualShockers
