Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Quantum Break: Digital Foundry Hands-On (XB1)

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.

So wait .What resolution is this game running at,720 or 1080p? If 720 it should be 60fps but they say it's a solid 30fps.So Remedy saying full 1080 but the pixel counters only getting 720p?



Wow, it's 720p? Thought I heard it was gonna be 1080p.



Watched the video. Looks great. Shadow draw distance aside.

I'm expecting a day one patch. Went gold mid February.



720p this far in seems absolutely mad, especially for a game that visually fails to approach battlefront at half the framerate. The wording isn't conclusive, but you'd imagine this is gold and review code as it is already out there and they are free to play large portions of the game.

In any case ,Microsoft is mental for allowing df to publish this so early. There should've been an NDA for between launch and review embargo. If the game is highly rated, less will care.

Looking so damn good and if you read through the whole thing instead just "720p omg!!!" impression is quite positive.

Why bother. Much more fun to hate on something you have or never will have interest in actually purchasing. 

 

Video points out a tonne of positives. They're actually impressed by the presentation. They say so a few times, actually. 



720p, no thanks. Also FPS drops and judder is unacceptable.
