If recently leaked details are to be believed, the Xbox 720 and PlayStation 4 (PS4) will have a resolution of 720p rather than the higher-definition 1080p. Both will also have a 60 frame-per-second (FPS) refresh rate.

The details were gleaned from a leaked report about EA's upcoming Battlefield 4 by Edge Magazine and will appear in its April issue. In it, the magazine discusses a number of juicy details that mostly don't bode well for either console.

We'll start with the good news first. Battlefield 4 will support a 64-player multiplayer mode for Xbox 720 and PS4, while current-generation consoles will have a 24-player maximum. The game will feature fully destructible buildings and environments thanks to the Destruction 4.0 engine and there will be randomized dynamic weather effects including sandstorms, rain, fog and haze.

The game is set in 2020 but reportedly has a modern-day look that does not appear overly futuristic. It takes place in China.  

The leaked information first appeared on Chiphell Forums.

Now for the bad news.

Battlefield 4 uses the Frost 2.5 engine and runs natively at 720p. That any next-gen console would run at less than 1080p is pretty unthinkable, but then again, perhaps the Xbox 720 moniker has more to do with the system's resolution than it is a nod to its predecessor.

EA is set to officially reveal Battlefield 4 on March 26, but for those of you who can't wait, we've provided a full log of the leaked details below, courtesy of Gamepur. Please note the log is translated from Korean and the English is far from perfect:
