Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One Gears of War to Have “Best in Class Visuals,”

That is good news, for sure, but this makes me ask two things

1-If Black Tusk is now hiring for an AAA game, what have they been doing since now? Remember last E3 when they showed a demo of the engine they were using for their game? Are you trying to tell me that that game wasn't an AAA game or what?

2-I haven't played Judgement, but as far as I know, all the complains were about the story of that game, not because it didn't looked good. Shouldn't they be hiring writters to bring new stories?

I'm guessing they're going to aim for 60 fps. That seems to be one of MS's objectives for shooters.

Can't wait, Gears is one of the biggest reasons I'm in the Xbox camp.

What do you think about 30 FPS campaign, 60 FPS multi? I actually wouldn't mind that...Lower framerate in single player, but more eye candy in terms of graphics.

Do we know if development for the next gears has actually started yet? Or are they still in the "planning" stages?

Doubt it, they just purchased the IP. Unless they were working on it before knowing they had the IP on lockdown lol...

I think Gears 4 will most likely come out 2016, maybe 2017 at the latest.

Since you seem to know so much, how many of the Uncharted sales were bundles? If you can't give me a concrete number, don't bring up the bundles argument. Your comment is even more off topic than ours lmfao.

He has a point, Sony has included Uncharted in Holiday bundles for at least 2 Holiday seasons that I can think of, and considering how many PS3's sell during the Holiday season I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of it's sales come from bundling. 

I think Gears 3 might have been included in one Holiday bundle, I don't really remember.

You didn't read my question? Ok then lol. You wouldn't be surprised if the majority of it's sales came from bundles? The game sold like a million copies on the first day alone lmfao.

Jesus Christ you're so funny.

Edit - They even shipped 3.8M copies on the first day!

I would assume all those copies have been sold now, therefore meaning that the large portion of it's sales DIDN'T come from bundling.

Man, this thread has really gone where it shouldn't. Making me sad as a big Gears-fan... But I am leaving it now.


Funny thing is if the mods would have moderated the first page this thread wouldnt have ended the way it did.  The first page had a very baiting comment that we all knew would end bad, but the mods let it go.

Well that pretty much confirms it won't be 1080p/60fps ^^;


The human eye can't see past 30FPS anyways

a-and 7-720p is best f-for cinematic ex-experience.



One more Uncharted post.

Say "Uncharted" one more time. I dare you. I double dare you. Say "Uncharted" one more god damn time.

I doubt it. Or at least, if they decide to go with 60fps then the resolution is going to take a huge hit (which would kinda defeat the point in trying to create top end visuals :p).

"Best in class visuals" and 1080p/60fps are two aspects no game this gen is going to see, neither on the PS4 or X1. In-fact i'd say no game of this type is ever going to hold both those stamens under it's belt for as long as the static hardware model exists for consoles.

My guess is they will go with either 1080p/30fps or 900p/30fps, depending on the amount of polish.



I am of the opinion that for every generation that happens, more effort is needed to max out the resources that becomes available with new hardware. From PS1 to PS2 for example there was a greater need for artists and programers to use the extra processing power that became available in the PS2 chip set. With this new gen I believe Microsoft has its work cut out for it to compete directly in graphics with the PS4 (which has more power) but because the job of maxing out each systems full potential has become so great this time, Microsoft can innovate and possibly beat Sony here and there. Some would say Ryse was already an example of that happening in some ways vs Shadowfall. Technically they could possibly do that again like they are implying. But, wIll a new studio like Black Tusk be able to beat Naughty Dog though?
