A next gen sequel which not only looks worse but also runs worse than its last gen 'prequel'. What a let down

Joke post, right!?



Just fyi, if you go to Nintendo Deutschland, they have a variant of the stream that at least seems to be of higher quality with fewer quality issues and dropped frames and a more crisp image:

Also, did anyone notice the Nopon character Tora was using a different shield to what he had at E3 despite having the same Blade?  So it seems you can get new weapons or upgrade/transform your weapon.  



I hate that format, I wanna see the game in full screen not sharing it with those 3 guys.

Yeah, I wish after the stream they posted the direct feed.  The Nintendo Deutschland version I linked seems to be the best quality, visually.

Did you watch the video and also play XCX? Then you should know I'm not joking. Look at the comment section there. Many people agree it actually looks and runs worse than XCX even though it's a next gen game.

You are alone in this then.Very few are saying this.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I hope the sound effects are improved. The sound in XCX was some of the worst I heard in a modern AA game. The footsteps almost forced me to stop playing the game.

Hum ... is that serious ?

Yeah.  I'm serious.  Go listen to the sound of footsteps in XCX, then tell me what you think.

Do you realise that is compresed video of offscreen stream footage, and that quality of video is very bad and we have slow downs beacuse streaming!? But even with that, graphical improvements over XCX are clearly obvous, we know that even before this low quality video, not to mention that game is still in development. It's interesting that you brought up YouTube comments like proof of something when they are always full of trolls, while in same time you ignoring comments from this thread, also just one post above your last one.

lmao. If it was off-screen then you should see a TV. 

You can easily distinguish slow downs caused by streaming issues or if they're part of the game. After 16 minutes you see huge framerate issues with sluggish camera movements while the movements of the three guys in the lower corner are smooth. This means the stream itself is a steady 30fps, while the game is not. You can find many more examples of the game running smooth in certain areas (28:00) and sluggish in others (35:40). This means the game is having difficulties running smooth at certain areas, not that the quality of the stream exactly in those areas was either better or worse. 

I've played XCX for a few hundred hours and the textures in this game were worse to me from the second I saw the first trailer. Some ground/rock textures remind me of the PS2-era.
