Xbox One X required us to generate two images, an HDR one and a LDR one, to be used on non-HDR compatible TVs. On PS4, this process is done automatically by the system, simplifying things greatly. Overall, the process has not been too costly because Mercury Engine 5 already worked with HDR assets.
neither will the Xbox version as it's a Steam game on PC and not a UWP one from what I can see. The textures and assets will be the same across all four consoles - just like about 99% of all games since the X came out, with the X maybe having a slightly higher texture filtering meaning if you zoom in 300-600% then you'll see things a little sharper.
@fr0sty - "The only reason it would be held back is for marketing reasons." - how's that tin foil hat going? Is it blocking all the media bias or are you still seeing it in every game even though it doesn't exist?
It's a known fact that HDR is much easier to implement on the PS4 console than the Xbox ones. On PS4, the systems are built to accommodate Checkerboarding and HDR at a system level with tools that allows the games to pretty much do it all aut...
I thought they said every character and every stage was coming back - because they didn't want to think of anything new so they decided to just put them all together and hope it pleases everyone.
I've not read the article, but going off the title - why is everyone presuming that MS are the only ones getting games ready for the next gen? Don't they think that Sony plans things in advance and is probably deep in development on new games for the new system when it arrives? They won't say or admit anything yet though because they are most likely under their own NDA that they can't talk about them until the console is officially announced - just like 3rd part companies and ...
"Sony famously has been against this"
Couldn't be more incorrect - plus on the perfect game!! Let's go back to 2012:

Good. I'd rather them focus on 1440p and deliver a stable framerate with good quality textures and shadows. I loved Pure Farms visuals but it was native 4k and ran a bit sluggish. Real Farm ram okay in native 4k but the shadows had terrible pop-in and the textures were toned down. 1440p could be the sweet spot to make an optimised farming game.
I wouldn't call it a walking sim tbh. about 1/5th of the game is moving around the hotel as you find clues into what the keycode is to open the puzzle doors. The main game though is the actual puzzles, which are brilliantly presented and occasionally adds new mechanics to keep them fresh and new.
I've not tried those yet, still awaiting the developer to send me a review code for both of them. This game is guaranteed to make you jump and nervous though. The quality in VR is awesome as well - I really do believe it's the best looking game I've played so far.
It's a shame it doesn't have a demo as I believe that will draw more people into the game - all VR games should have a demo.
Thing is, they weren't talking about PSN - they were talking in general in regards to Defiance and cross play between PC and consoles. Xbox used that excuse - which looks very similar to the reason Sony initially gave when Xbox wanted all Minecraft users to have a Live account with the gimped out version...
A similar thing was said by MS when Valve asked for Cross play with Portal 2 as well - would you say Valve is 'a complete mess' as well? Valve opted to work ...

I meant the same as in you have the two choices of either the 30 or 60fps modes - couldn’t really care less about the resolutions as I’m not satbtehre comparing the two and wishing my 1080p TV would downsample a higher base pixel count. But having the option to run at 60 is good - and it runs really well on the pro - the 4k mode isn’t the greatest though when the action starts to pile up.
Been playing it for almost a week now on the pro for review. You can certainly see th...
Same as on PS4 Pro - it's 1500p at 60fps or 2160p at 30fps on the Pro :)
BTW, cross play hasn't been officially announced - the message on their Kickstarter is: We're working on having cross-play and cross-save but take into account that some platforms don't allow that (PS4).
So they are 'working' on it, but it isn't 100% confirmed. The game isn't' out til 2020 anyway
@chiefJohn117 - The OP means it's not helping Xbox in terms of the console sales as they are constantly third behind both the PS4 and the Switch. So adding new things like this isn't helping the brand as a whole in shifting more units and getting new consumers.
@SarkyPlays - 'Revenue' being the key word and not profit. Lets take an example. Let's say there are about 300k paying gamepass subscribers - that would be about 3m dollars a month in revenue (I t...
Is it just Fortnite though? H1Z1 is doing really well on PS4 as well as they have another map coming out shortly and are still bragging a few million players in that F2P game. I know PUBG isn't on the PS4, but many people own both consoles so a lot of the playerbase may have just moved over to the less buggy game instead.
Why? There is no logic in that - it's named 'remaster' but it contains various new features and modes as well as a few things from games throughout the series, such as the puzzles and missions, which weren't in the original Lumines.
So technically, the only 'remaster' about it is the assets, gameplay, and the songs - which are supposedly the same as the original Lumines - as I expect them to add ones from later games as DLC or something.

@muddy - and? You do realise having a higher resolution doesn't mean anything if the game is crap. Nobody saw any actual gameplay footage of Gears 5 - it was all a CGI/pre-rendered trailer. I'd take a game at 1080-1440p with amazing graphical settings, great AI, perfect animations and smooth gameplay over a game that pushes a higher pixel count just because that's the only thing the console can do with second-rate developers in charge.
I don't get why you lo...
@darthv72 - we still see differences in the way HDR is implemented though - The HDR in Nier, for example, is terrible on the Xbox and the one provided on the UHDs is nowhere near the quality you get via a stand-alone device. There have been other games as well where the PS4 has got HDR but the Xbox hasn't and some where the PS4 got it first.
Xbox will probably get it for this game later, but it does appear it's more work for the developers to add in HDR, especially...
