DF on Quantum Break

NeoGAF - View Single Post -  Digital Foundry hands-on Quantum Break (XB1)

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/di...-quantum-break From recent MS press event (but likely identical to review code). Basically it's running at 720p... Mostly stable 30fps with some dips... Love their (serious) comment about dark scenes possible helping cover up the resolution lol.

Uncharted 4 may be PlayStation 4's showstopper, but it's Quantum Break leading the charge for Xbox One. Blending cinematic third-person action with live action segments, Remedy's latest title is a coming to fruition of Microsoft's original plan to converge TV and video game content into one package.

 

In fact, nailing down resolution proves rather difficult, due in part to how various elements on screen are rendered. Based on Remedy's own Siggraph 2015 white paper, we understand screen-space lighting, ambient occlusion, and global illumination pipelines are all handled at 1280x720 on Xbox One in order to budget for a 33.3ms render-time. Curiously, the paper also states Xbox One's final output is 1920x1080, and that's where there is some confusion - as we've yet to see evidence of full HD 1080p gameplay in close analysis - barring the title's HUD elements and menus. In every scene tested so far, a native resolution of 720p is the consistent result found in each pixel count test - so while there's every possibility of individual render targets operating at higher resolutions, basic geometry that we're able to measure hands in a 720p result as things stand.

 

In regards to PC version (that they have yet to fully test):

But let's not forget that there's also a PC version in development too. We didn't have time to sample this at the press event, but Remedy were pretty open on the state of the build at that time. Limited to 1080p at 30fps, it still required plenty of work before launch. The developer is promising a maximum 4K experience at 60fps, but it remains to be seen exactly how this will pan out, or exactly what kind of hardware will be required to make this happen.

 

I have a G-sync monitor but I guess there's no hope for me until later in the year for that with how UWP stands.

720p?

What was the last XBO exclusive to be that low?

dunno,.. when was the last time Xbox released an exclusive?

Just a few months ago.

How bad is your memory?

To be fair, it was about 5 months ago and was a disappointment.

I'm surprised with 720p... expected 900p at this point.

[Xevross]

720p 30fps?

Oh dear. Where's that DX12 power?

720p 30fps?

Oh dear. Where's that DX12 power?

In the cloud. Duh.

[Aura7541]

720p 30fps?

Oh dear. Where's that DX12 power?

I guess we should cross DX12 out on the chalkboard

[BananaKing]

720p 30fps?

Oh dear. Where's that DX12 power?

to be fair, the game looks pretty good. best XB1 exclusive by far. but they needed a lot of power to do that, and they couldnt achieve it at 900p or 1080p.

and here is the power difference between PS4 and XB1. Uncharted is 1080p and looks better than QB at 720p

I stand by the opinion that r/xboxone is collectively one of the dumbest subs on reddit.

Maybe of the dumbest gaming subs, but you don't browse reddit enough if you think it's the worst of them all.

True, point taken.
