I took 3 screenshots on my XSX, just before upgrading.
Then I took 3 screenshots just after installing the upgrade, more less in same spot
Top: XBox one version, Bottom: XSX (Performance off, so it means Quality mode, i Guess?)

Honestly I am not sure what to say, I only see upgrade in AO quality and even in Quality mode it seems it is 60FPS, that is all. But I may miss something or do wrong here.

I 'member

first Half-Life, 3 screen-shots

So I've been replaying Half-Life 1 lately and I remembered how iconic this was when I played it for the first time. Probably a weird thing to say but how could you not be impressed at the NPCs back in the day? Really added to the atmosphere when you first enter Black Mesa. The...

I can't see a lot of difference tbh, but only spent ten minutes in the game after the update

 

[Mephisto40]

 

[Ribi]

Slight lighting difference maybe? Will this break all the mods

 

[StereoVsn]

 

[chromhound]

Do people with the disk version get this update ? I don't see a big difference really

 

[Dorfdad]

60fps is the big sell, but since Xbox already have boost mode many people don’t see much difference.

 

[adamsapple]

You should be banned for that clickbait title.

 

[Kacho]

 

[rofif]

lol what is it we've been waiting for ?

 

[Pop]

So Bethesda just officially unlocked 60fps for consoles.

Wow what an update

 

[Methos#1975]

Quality mode feels and looks 30fps to me

 

[adamsapple]

Quality mode feels and looks 30fps to me

Because it is 30 FPS, unless you have a 120hz TV.

Seems like a bummer update. Gonna try to keep my version un-updated as long as possible cause I already get 4K/60 with Ultra equivalent settings there.

Can you use the 60 FPS mod with the Quality mode of the new update ?
Thus keeping it with the new ultra setting but unlocked to 60.

 

[mitch1971]

So much effort....

 

[thismeinteil]

Was this update really just to break mods?

 

[Insane Metal]

This right here, I see literally no difference.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

lol this generation really is complete dogshit

 

[Shin-Ra]

What did they break this time?

 

[MikeM]

They spent years on this??

 

[Inuteu]

You should be banned for that clickbait title.

I almost regreted playing FO3 again. Just finished mothership zeta yesterday

 

[kingfish]

You know what you did.

 

[Portugeezer]

We got scammed.

 

[Inuteu]

Only the DF guys will be able to see the difference

 

[StereoVsn]

Ok, I expected low effort, but Todd exceeded my expectations. They f-d modders, players, devs for Fallout London to basically produce a shittier version of 60 FPS mod?

 

[Starbuck2907]

I see a pretty clear difference in lighting quality and shadows. It’s pretty obvious. I’m not sure why y’all aren’t seeing it.

 

[Danknugz]

i see fallout4. where's this next gen fallout you mentioned in the thread title?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I agree except its now in ultrawide for me though the lighting is different

 

[UniformDeliverance]

So this is interesting.

Quality Mode is running at 40fps (at least I think.. It's smoother than 30 for sure)
Performance mode is 60fps

I'm seeing that quality mode is looking sharper on my display. Shame that there's no HDR support though, that would have been a nice touch.

 

[Svejk]

Even PS+ was like,... "Nah... Don't bother."

 

[Laptop1991]

And this update is what loads got hyped for lol, now Fallout London has me hyped, but not this lol

 

[Rosoboy19]

Yeah, this new version removed the Series X enhancements like Auto HDR. I can’t tell a difference in frame rate right off between Performance mode “On” or “Off”. They both look 60.

 

[Portugeezer]

How did it double in size from PS4 to PS5?

 

[keraj37]

How did it double in size from PS4 to PS5?

Exactly. On XSX it is just +50% but still I see no justification. PS5 upgrade is a joke.

 

[Laptop1991]

How did it double in size from PS4 to PS5?

On PC there is an official HD Texture pack that is quite large that doesn't really look any different in game, but does affect performance, they might have done something similar here

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[Hugare]

Imagine expecting much from a free next gen patch made by Bethesda

At least they've increased shadow quality and AO. I was expecting a bump to 4K and an unstable 60 FPS mode.

 

[Flabagast]

When you compare that with what CDPR did for The Witcher 3....

 

[Shin-Ra]

Properly SSD-optimised games usually see an install size reduction as there’s less asset replication used to reduce HDD read seek delays. That assumes the game was HDD-optimised in the first place and nothing’s actually been uprez’d of course.

On top of that potential for more efficient texture and audio asset compression on newer platforms.

[Stooky]

 

[Hudo]

The Half-Life thread was far more rage inducing.

 

[Portugeezer]

Not even an FOV slider.

What an amazing update.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Just play the 60fps mode I guess

 

[coffinbirth]

 

[SmokedMeat]

Were you guys expecting some major graphical overhaul?

It’s a 2015 game that you now play at 60fps.

 

[Braag]

 

[BigLee74]

Won’t even install it as I played it at 60fps on the Xbox years ago!
