Do you think Anthem will get a downgrade graphically?

It was supposedly shown on Xbox X, so I don't know cause I find it hard to say how powerful XBX really is without being on the market. If DF was right comparing it to a PC with GTX 1070 than I'm pretty sure that quality is achievable (frostbite is pretty impressive).
I totally doubt PS4 / XB1 can do it though, they will much certainly suffer a good downgrade compared to this.

I didn't ask that I asked WHAT DO YOU THINK? Do you think they're lying or not?

Now with this I agree 100%. This is a good reason for concern, that gameplay section was extremely scripted.

I don't even know how "real" what we saw was. Regardless, abso-fucking-lutely.
I said "You should still question it, even if you love the brand" and never made a claim about if it's real. I can't say if they're lying or not, but there's reason to question E3 trailers. Why are we going in circles on this?

God's had his chance.
Well yea. Like.... yes. Of course.
Won't matter if they actually built what they say they did with this open world and stuff...but yes of course. The question is how much...

If even The Witcher was, what chance other have ?
yeah but the game still has to scale down to a bare minimum.
i dunno, really depends on how big each area is. could be uncharted territory for frostbite or not too off the mark from what's been done before. but you have to remember this will be made for hardware from 2013

So did battlefront though and it's the best looking game on any platform.
and battlefront 2 looks even better than the 1st one

Oh man, I haven't seen the comparisons yet.
I am itching for the game to launch almost solely because I want to see what the peeps in the PC screenshot thread do with it this time...

Frostbite. So no. Not on PC.
Tbh, could be a graphical upgrade by end of next year (on pc). Ps5 version should look fairly amazing

Yeah, that's true. Is Anthem on Frostbite though?
VlaudTheImpaler
tl;dr
Yes,
”Our developers at BioWare have been creating something special," said Patrick Soderlund, Executive Vice President of EA Worldwide Studios. ”We're pushing Frostbite to new heights, developing a game, unlike anything EA has ever made before. We're telling a new story, creating a social, co-operative experience, and putting it in a contiguous open world that is dynamic and will be ever-changing for years to come."
EDIT: That site has one of the coolest negative space fillers I have ever seen.
There was a short alpha in the beginning of the month but they wouldn't let people share anything . I only have a 1060 but the environments are a HUGE step up imo. I cant wait to see what it would look like on a high end rig.

So you demand to know if I think they're lying, and I reiterate we can't tell. Now you laugh like you won something and say you're done. Lame argument.
like i said it depends on scale... most are under the assumption this is about Destiny sized open areas going through the hub fairly seamlessly. if that's the case i don't see battlefront being comparative
Well, yes, I expect PSP4PRO, Xbox One and PS4 to scale down, but thats OK. The presentation clearly stated that was the 1X version.
Well, but following that logic, game would look even better, not worse.

I don't think so. I can't remember any frostbite game being downgraded this generation.
VlaudTheImpaler
tl;dr
To be fair, he did say that he wanted to believe earlier just that he is going to remain skeptical for now.
I was referring to how games scale between systems and how this impacts how good a game can look on better hardware.
The lower end has been holding everything back, but this doesn't stop some multiplatform games from looking mindblowing.
I gave battlefront as an example because like anthem it uses frostbite and IMO it's the best looking released game atm and it is also a multiplatform game that scales across many variations of hardware including the base consoles you where talking about.
Everyone has a right to be skeptical though, I am as well since what we've seen is supposed to be open world at this fidelity.
Though new progressions in gaming tech happen all the time and this is a huge AAA company we are talking about who are more likely than others to have the $ to develop some sort of breakthrough.
If this was coming from a smaller dev under a smaller company I would be infinitely more skeptical than I already am.
IMO, we are going to see a lot more of this kind of stuff. Larger upfront $ investments in these games. Because a good GAAS game is something that these companies are salivating for since they have seen how it brings in the $ in the long run. It makes sense for them to invest more initially since they are intended to be supported for many years. Building a good base that can be updated easily will pay off in the end. Making sure the game looks good so that it holds up years from now is also important.

Dude it's already confided using checkerboard 2160P on Xbox one x. I can see it's going to be hard for people to accept certain things, but this console has more than enough power to pull what was shown in that footage.
VlaudTheImpaler
tl;dr
My question is, will it be more of a downgrade, or a side grade? Surely not an upgrade right?
Also, I'd be interested to know what people would consider a downgrade. Literally any deviance from what we have seen? What would you consider an upgrade and not a side grade?

why bother making this post when context clues tell you what i'm talking about?

If you are using a PS4 or an XBO, I wouldn't expect it to look like that.
With a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X? Yeah, give or take creative changes.

Is there a single Frostbite game that has had downgrades this gen? I can't find any with a quick search.
I know battlefront was called out before release, but it ended up being upgraded lol.

You and I both know how this industry works. Doesn't matter what they say.
And it will likely look very similar, if not the same, on the Pro. Count on it.
Icecold asserted that BF1 and Battlefront were downgraded:

No, at least on Xbox One X and PS4 Pro.
Horizon is out and shows that this level of graphical detail in retail games is already very real and possible.
