Forums - Microsoft - Remedy has replied back regarding the 720p output of Quantum Break

Quantum Break’s 1080p output is a temporal reconstruction from four previous 720p 4xMSAA frames. This approach gets us high pixel quality in combination with complex shading and effects, allowing us to achieve a cinematic look. However, varying sample counts between passes and temporal upscaling makes talking about resolution, as it is traditionally understood, complicated in the case of Quantum Break. Since the start of “Quantum Break’s” development, the most important thing for Remedy and Microsoft has been delivering a compelling gaming experience with superior artistic quality. This is what Remedy is renowned for. We’re confident that we have achieved this, and can’t wait to hear what fans think on April 5 when they play the game.

So it's 720p with 4xMSAA?

Why couldn't they have just said it instead of saying however long ago it would be 1080p.

If it looks great it looks great the number before the 'p' doesn't matter.

"Cinematic Look"... so The Order again? xD



In Sony We Trust!

 

Weren't kill zone devs sued over claiming 1080p when it wasn't?



I guess it's clarified. Sounds kinda sneaky to me. I just hope it's good. Tired of fps games

So without going into the bush with tech lingo, the game is 720p or not?

It's very similar to the Killzone multiplayer.  

Basically rendered at 720p, saves the last couple of frames, then mixes them together properly in a way to be 1080p without it being noticeable.  


Digital Foundry didn't seem to have trouble figuring it out. The game does look great regardless.



The funny thing is, Remedy fans and Xbox players ain't even bothered. Furthermore, that's what Xbox platform does, push gameplay boundaries. If you want tech demos choose a different platform to play.

The number before the p does matter. Imagine if they told you is was 360p people would be pissed. With that said I agree that they should have just been straight forward. Playing games like this is only going to piss people off and make them feel mislead.

Bare in mind I said the 'p' doesn't matter if the bolded is true.
