I guess a lot of studio's just use poor quality control when porting games to pc, I can recall lots of bad pc ports from other studio's as well. No, excuses for Microsoft/Remedy though, they should have done better than this. I'm no pc gamer but if you're gonna do something, do it right. It also didn't help that this was most likely a very last minute port decision. Microsoft should know that's not a good way to keep the momentum for Windows 10, step yo game up.

as tru as that may be, you also have to look at it from the dev's side, and more importantly realise the devs are the artists, while some techniques are used to hide imperfections and such, others are purposely used because it is in the vision of the creative director. after all, its their story and they are telling it the way they feel it needs to be told.

that could be compared to MGM getting a letter telling them to replace the Aston Martin in James Bond with a mustang because the viewer doesn't like the car.

In examples like The Order the film grain works, but the same may be said about QB as it may have been used to lessen the differences between the game and the TV tie in.

"But come on... We are well past that era of cosmetic cover ups."

Sadly we are not.

Considering most games on Xbox cant even achieve 1080p no, we are not past the era of cosmetic cover ups.

And a ton of players are playing the game without any issues.

And you do realize 3200x1800 has 2.78x the pixel count as 1080p and 6.25x the pixel count as 720p. And not to mention the Xbox One runs has almost half the framerate and lacks lots of subtle details like Ambient Occlusion that are present in the PC version and gives it a more darker and realistic look overall.

@FasterThanFTL1 That is incorrect. Ambient Occulsion is present on the Xbox One.

I watched a few PC streams yesterday, and everyone i asked said the only technical issue is that it's a direct port of the Xbox One version. So the image quality isn't as good as it could be.

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP.

MS is not doin anything with it. Plus they're doing a multiverse of their own so Remedy needs the IP.

If MS wants to have exclusive let it be timed for 6 months then go to other platforms. MS seems to be, let's say, generous with some if their games as of late.

Or have QB2 be multiplat from the jump, put it on GP. Keeping QB2 as an exclusive is kinda weird these days.

"I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP."

Good luck

@Lightning77

"MS is not doin anything with it."

Japan Studio is dead nd Sony isn´t doing anything with Bloodborne either! Yet I can 100% guarantee that there´s a far bigger demand for a sequel, remake or even a remaster for that game from both PS5 and PC gamers.

That been said, why don´t you ask Sony tol sell the IP to Fromsoftware now that according to rumors, they bought Elden Ring from Bandai?
