Eh, it's a cross-gen title. There is a low ceiling in place. With that in mind, I'm not surprised at all that the effect-heavy mecha segments suffer. When you consider everything they can do, that's quite a jump from kicking people in the head or bullet effects.

I still don't understand why this isn't 1080p.

1080p means a good game? Tell that to Killzone Shadow Fall and COD Ghosts...

No 1080p means the hardware is good not just expensive

Anyone with the beta? What your take?

No, 1080p makes a good game better. His question is why this good game isn't made better.

Source, they are using the Source engine. Left 4 Dead 2 with mechs >_> Im not sure what effect the 360 version has on the rest of the product.

I think he means for the visuals on show he expects 1080p, 900p minimum. Though the X1s GPU seems to be struggling right now. CoD: Ghosts for example. Nothing to do with the quality of the game itself.

Except that it does have something to do with the game's quality, no one ever mentioned quality(by which I assume you mean fun).

It's a fair question to ask because:

1. this is supposed to be a next gen game

2. It's an exclusive, so it should be better optimized

3. MS and Respawn both touted the great potential and power of the cloud which whould help make the game run better by outsourcing some CPU cycles to the cloud.

Even on PC with max settings it looks ugly. Apart from the image quality, it feels like a 360 game. Super fan to play though.
