Hardware wise yes, that was obvious from the moment we knew they were using x86 architecture(with a few extensions) and off the shelf hardware but API wise a lot could improve.... over the years.

They haven't even been out a year. Look at first year titles on PS3 and then titles this year. Huge difference. Consoles always peak later in their life cycles.
Could DX12 benefit the Xbox One or would TW3 be out before that's released? Not sure when DX12 is releasingI fear the worst (900p on Xbox one) unfortunately...(((
When they are going to release the technical infos?
After Witcher 3
Almost sure it will be 900p on X1. And if CDPR says it will be 900p on Playstation too, they will be slaughter by the PS4 users.
So I'm predicting the same story like Dragon Age Inquisition
(Seems that it will coincide with the release of Windows 10. But it looks like W10 isn't coming out until the middle of next year. Also it appears that DX12 won't be the magical solution that people will be hoping for. It might help them get to 1080p at least by having an easier time developing, but I wouldn't hold my breath at this point.
As for the tech info, I suspect it won't be until sometime in January. I'm sure they are going to spend as much time optimizing as possible and trying to push it as far as they can go. I would guess once they are out of time, then they'll decide and let us know.

Very possible.
But I think there is no chance for a 1080p res on X1...
Negative. The game isn't being designed for dx12 and even if it was, it wouldn't matter.

Hm, oh well. If I were playing it on Xbox One I would rather have a stable framerate than a higher resolution.
PS3 used a unique structure and way of processing, and it was very different from PCs. Xbox 360 was more similar to PCs compared to PS3. So it actually took developers a while to figure out how to develop the multi-platform games on the PS3 and 360 and the the multi-platform titles looked inferior on the PS3 when compared to the Xbox 360. This inferiority was present, because developers did not take time and put the resources to use PS3's full potential. But developers who made game exclusively for the PS3 had the time and resources to unlock PS3's full potential, and so we saw games like Uncharted 3 and the Last of Us towards the end of PS3's life cycle.
PS4 and Xbox one have very similar structures to the PCs, which leads to easy development and the ability of the developers to most of their potential from the get go. That is why Witcher 2 was not developed for the PS3, but Witcher 3 is getting released on the PS4. PS4 is much easier to develop for, because it's structure similar to PC.
We will definitely see improvements, but they won't be as significant as what we saw on the PS3.
There is still a possibility for a 1080p res on PS4.I think it will be 900p on both, just like Ass Creed 54.. oop's I mean Unity
I don't mind, it will still look great and play solid/smooth I hope.
I hope it gets the same on the X1 because I need all the quality!!
But something tells me that 900p is coming...
My guess 900p for PS4 and 720p for Xbox One. The resolution has to drop to add or increase subtle details and maybe even AA gets added. With all those trees and grass in the game, you going to want some AA. But that CPU. Oh those CPU's. No fur tech on consoles is my guess. And no AA for Xbox One.
PS4 > X1. There's no way the PS4 version will not look and/or play better unless CDPR somehow fails to get the perfomance out of it or they pull an Ubisoft, which would blow my mind. So, even if they both are 1080p, PS4 will have an edge somewhere else, be it better framerate and/or better shadows or whatever, so I believe this is pointless.
For marketing though, being 1080p would seem better than 900p with worse effects and other stuff.
Yeah but Ubisoft has used that 8 core CPU as a reason for the 900p Ass Creed game. I'm not sure but GTA 5 might be 1080p on PS4. Not sure if that is true. I'm waiting to see what resolution GTA 5 will be, then there might be some hope.

This is supposed to mean something? Is this the new buzzword like "OMG GDDR5RAMZ!"?
We are already aware that the state of multithreading is not great(for understandable reasons) in videogames currently. It doesn't matter if it's 8 cores or 16 cores if the single threaded performance isn't good enough in the current state combined with the fact that it's only 1.6Ghz and AMD has had a sharp quality decline in CPU architecture after the Athlon days.
Maybe, he just does not know much about it. No need to bully him, he's not a moron.I would like 1080p on XB1 too, but I also feel that devs will choose the best looking and playable option for each platform.
I wish microsoft gave a shit about this from the start, that stupid kinect was the worst idea ever.
Maybe 900p will look better for this style of game than 1080p in some ways, I saw a video on youtube about this once.
Believe it or not, for some games 900p did indeed look better than full 1080p. I forget the reasons why, but in the end I trust CDPR Team
to do a kick ass job be it 900p/1080p. This game should be intense/good fun to say the least, well I hope it is.
