Xb1 version was 800P pre patch?

In an email from Ubisoft’s PR containing our review code for the game, we have officially received details on how Trials Fusion will look on each platform. As their first game to release on multiple platforms at launch, it seems that RedLynx has successfully mastered the art of multiplatform development. As expected, the PS4 and PC versions of the game will be running at 1080p while the Xbox One version will run at 900p after the game’s day one patch. On the other hand, the Xbox 360 version of Trials Fusion will run in native 600p, “like all leading games on the platform”, with each version of the game running at a constant 60 frames-per-second.

Additionally, the game’s day one patch has been detailed, which will increase the resolution of the Xbox One version from 800p to 900p, and will improve the frame-rate of the PS4 version. Other fixes will deal with track central issues, leaderboard issues, and replays not being in sync. The game will release physically and digitally on Xbox One, PS4, and Xbox 360 on April 16th, with the PC version coming later on the 24th

Good news all round.

Just a couple of more days! This will be a delight!

 

[TheAdmiester]

Wasn't the X1 version already 900p?

EDIT: Nevermind, missed the first quote.

 

[ShdwDrake]

El oh el.

 

[RyudBoy]

Lol XB1

Either that, or Ubisoft sucks

 

[Toki767]

Are Ubisoft the only ones really doing these post release resolution increase patches?

 

[Nathan_Drake]

was that written to make xbox look bad? it seemed obvious yet professional enough to pass. ha

i honestly would not of heard of this game if it was for the resolution stories.

 

[dazzlerazzle]

They shouldn't even admit game needs a day 1 patch on X1 to pull 900p

 

[AJLma]

Either that, or Ubisoft sucks

Always a possibility.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

They shouldn't even admit game needs a day 1 patch on X1 to pull 900p

Ya, they should either just lie or ignore it! I'm glad they are detailing what the day one patch contains.

 

[StuBurns]

Like all leading games on the platform? What does that mean? That they only consider low res games like CoD as leading?

 

[benny_a]

I don't see the issue with a day one patch for this title. It's a digital-first title, because even the retail version requires that you connect to the internet to get everything that is "in the box."

Like all leading games on the platform? What does that mean? That they only consider low res games like CoD as leading?

I assume he is talking about the previous Trials games on 360. They were both sub-720p.

 

[Tagg9]

I know, that's one of the most hilarious phrases I've ever heard. There are tons of games (Gears, Halo 4) that are native res.

 

[cackhyena]

I think I would have kept this under the radar. Nobody looks good.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

I thought the thread would be about increasing rez to 1080p not 900p.

 

[SFenton]

I think I would have kept this under the radar. Nobody looks good.

I don't know, transparency is important. What if someone bought the disc versions of either console, put it in, skipped the patch/weren't online, and either got frame drops on PS4 or noticed the not-900p on X1? I think it's great that people know "Hey, you're gonna need this patch for this reason."

Remember when CoD on PS4 was only 720p before the patch, and people only found out by playing it that way (if I remember right)?

 

[ethomaz]

It was even lower resolution?

From the title I really thought it was upgrade to 1080p.

 

[Bloodrage]

800 to 900p? Lmao

1080p was never even a possibility.

 

[Freeman]

They dodged the bullet this time, 800p release for this game would have just been shameful.

 

[Emptiiness]

underpowered hardware is underpowered

 

[kadotsu]

The real disturbing part of this news should be the slow erosion of the RTM and the movement to day 1 patches becoming the actual gold version.

 

[Vashetti]

800p originally?

Christ that ESRAM bottleneck must be a nightmare.

 

[Objectively Bad Opinion]

They should do 1920i instead

 

[jabuseika]

The feeling of 900p.

 

[Majine]

Can't wait for all the rage next generation when the consoles can't run 4K resolution.

 

[SgtCobra]

the Xbox 360 version of Trials Fusion will run in native 600p, “like all leading games on the platform”

Sheeiit

 

[Pepto]

PC version can only do 1080p max?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Sheeiit

Pretty sure the past two Trials games also ran at 600p. Unless you're referring to the 'like all leading platforms' comment.

 

[sangreal]

Do you feel the same way about CoD and AC4 on PS4?

I don't see how increasing the resolution in a patch tells us anything other than that final resolution is determined late in development.

 

[Shahed]

Why would there be a day one patch for a digital only game? I understand retail, but for digital surely they'd just patch the server side copy and make you download the one complete file

 

[Metfanant]

Personally I'm all for day 1 patches...there is no reason for them not to continue to work and improve the game after going gold


That being said...I know there is a lot more than meets the eye in a game like Trials with stuff going on under the hood...but I would have thought, that even if it was a sloppily coded mess...the Xbone would have the horsepower to brute force its way to 1080p

 

[MoeB]

800p? Yikes!

 

[Xav]

800p pre-patch?

Something went horribly wrong when designing this system.

 

[nbnt]

Was hoping for 1080p, oh well.

 

[JaseC]

They fare somewhat better than 600p. From Beyond3D:

Trials Evolution = 1152x648 (FXAA)
Trials HD = 1280x680 (no AA, black borders)

 

[KennyLinder]

Because they still have to submit a master build for cert.

 

[eso76]

Previous trials games were 720p on x360, right ? Edit: Nope,just read the above posts

Lol at the 600p comment.

Also, we don't know what the differences are between different versions yet, right ?
Are user created tracks shared across different platforms ?

 

[Mikey Jr.]

800p?

Jesus.

 

[Syrus]

They shouldn't even admit game needs a day 1 patch on X1 to pull 900p

you realize PS4 had day one Res patches?

This shows that the dev may not be fully familiar with X1 tools. On the same hand I can see how this may be embarrassing but 900p is fine with me if the gameplay is great and the game still looks good.

 

[Shahed]

Because they still have to submit a master build for cert.

Fair enough. I have no idea how these things work, but it always seems strange when I download a game, and then download a patch for said game

 

[Vashetti]

"TVTVTVTV -- Kinect, TVTV, SPORTS, TV, Kinect"

Therein lies your answer.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

From Beyond3D:

Ah, my mistake. Thanks for the correction.

 

[Punkster_NY]

hahaha... from 800 to 900?

 

[SHEF]

I was shocked when I saw the title as I was then really expecting the Xbox One to get bumped to 1080p but damn, 800p to 900p... for a Trials game?

I had every Trials game on the 360 but picking Fusion up on the PS4 this time, hope the DS4 is up to the challenge.

 

[cackhyena]

hope the DS4 is up to the challenge.

I was thinking a little while ago, maybe this is the game that gives me the worn nubs so many complain about. So much pressure put on my 360 pads over the years with these games.

 

[fatgamecat]

I assume this means they were struggling to go from 800 to 900p, and 1080p was pretty much out of the question?

 

[Piggus]

800p originally?

Christ that ESRAM bottleneck must be a nightmare.

It's not just the ESRAM.... The GPU is a turd when it comes to rendering at higher resolutions.

 

[Feindflug]

Ah, my mistake. Thanks for the correction.

So even worse IQ on the 360 version? :/

 

[Kinyou]

800p originally?

Christ that ESRAM bottleneck must be a nightmare.

Didn't they also upgrade AC4s resolution post launch on the PS4? Maybe this has less to do with ESRAM and more with ubi itself

 

[jond76]

How is it that Wolfenstein can run at 1080p60fps on Xbox, but super physics Excitebike can't? What is going on? Save us DX12!!
