I did not know that, but I'm not surprised either.

 

[NickFire]

What impressive reporting. No follow-up question about the 10% GPU time sliced that what returned? Seriously, how does someone who covers videogames, and is publishing an Xbox One, accept an answer regarding the removal of Kinnect as pertains to why it is still 900p that only addresses CPU?

 

[Azlan]

Fine by me. The game looks like a lot of fun. Can't wait to see more.

 

[Acquiescence]

Watch this end up being Insomniac's best game since A Crack in Time.

 

[NullPointer]

The Xbox hardware is what it is, so I've set my expectations to 900p as baseline for it's games. If the game has tearing or jaggies or slowdown then I'd consider it technically sub-par, but all of the footage I've seen looks smooth and crisp.

 

[JordanN]

Hoping for a smooth framerate.

Don't you mean locked?
Every game has smooth framerate

Spoiler

till you do something in game that lowers it

.

 

[JetSetRadio]

It has color, that's cool.

 

[Ramrock]

I:SS doesn't push anywhere near the amount of enemies on screen. Looks great, but it takes a ton of processing power to put that amount of enemies on screen.

Like Heavenly Sword on the PS3?

 

[phanphare]

Second Son says hi.

that post's relevancy says "........."

 

[Bgamer90]

Fully expected but man...increasing the level of detail by having it at 900p? So backwards.

I'll still enjoy the game but its clear Xbox one is simply holding games back.

This news came out a while ago (four months or so) and if I remember correctly, they wanted to keep all of the cartoon like details such as the onomatopoeias and the high enemy count/crowds which I'm assuming is what they meant by "details".

I love those details so if they could have only been in the game via setting it to 900p then I'm perfectly fine with that.

 

[BeforeU]

Like Destiny.

You mean opposite to Destiny.

Sure. Locked.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

I:SS doesn't push anywhere near the amount of enemies on screen. Looks great, but it takes a ton of processing power to put that amount of enemies on screen.

And the obvious bit where SO is multiplayer with as many as eight players in addition to all of those enemies in what looks to be a much, much larger and more interactive world. I mean, Seattle in I:SS is probably a small fraction of the size Sunset City looks to be, especially when you look at how high up the city traversal goes in pre-release videos. There's no comparison between them, but I'm sure it will come up time and time again.

Shouldn't be that hard...

Anyway looking at their list of developed games I see Slow Down Bull listed, but I don't think we've ever heard of it. Just an interesting side note.

 

[GayForMaster]

Like Destiny.

Except Destiny is mediocre.

 

[StuBurns]

Second Son says hi.

It's not nearly that busy, and the PS4 is much better, hardly fair.

 

[Cyriades]

Sunset Overdrive is a over the top cartoony adventure game.. along the lines of Dead Rising.

Not my cop of tea

 

[Fisty]

Like Destiny.

Actually you can go to most places in destiny that look like you can get to them (especially Earth and Moon). You just have 5 seconds to get there and back. Probably cordoned off until DLC

 

[Krappadizzle]

Just kiddin'. I don't care as long as it's fun. It just looks fun as shit.

 

[Dragon]

It's Xbox One visual fidelity at 30fps.

No need for resolution talk.

Are you saying there's no need for the thread? tsk tsk

Except Destiny is mediocre.

You've played Sunset Overdrive then?

 

[tringworldso]

A highly kinetic game like this would have benefitted a lot from 60fps.

Agreed. It was an obvious troll post.

 

[rjc571]

Given their last few games I wouldn't expect that to be a solid 30 fps, either. Expect tons of drops.

 

[Pathos]

Are you saying there's no need for the thread? tsk tsk

Considering there was a thread back in June, yes

 

[Bgamer90]

Are you saying there's no need for the thread? tsk tsk

Really isn't considering this news originally came out back in June.

 

[JimiNutz]

Game looks so fun and the only technical thing that I care about is a stable framerate so def hope that's a locked 30 fps.

Maybe im easy to please but I think the game looks gorgeous too.

 

[T.O.P]

Yeah, i thought we already knew this

 

[ethomaz]

It was confirmed months ago

 

[MaximusPayne]

Dig it up, OP

 

[Conduit]

I already know that we will have people come in here and complain about this, but I'm ok with this. I'm just hoping that they mean that it's 30FPS locked

I'm pretty sure game is 30fps locked. E3 previews from Eurogamer ( IIRC ), they told there was frame drops. Especially when grinding.

 

[Indiedevs]

Fair enough. It`s open world, and the game looks good.

 

[Silky]

We already knew this.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Id expect drops. This is a pretty ambitious game with a lot going on. 99% of games do not hold their target frame rate 100% of the time it seems.

 

[Kezen]

I'm surprised the Xbox One can't render this at 1080p...It's not an impressive looking game by any stretch of the word. I could understand Ryse at 900p but this ?

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Was hoping for 60FPS, but still the game looks great. Will be my first game I play when I get the bundle.

 

[BruiserBear]

Yep, especially when the game looks and plays like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ7tsuuWJ-k&list=UUR1wCXM9e7NshYfonwa5BAg

Thanks for the link! Hadn't seen any new footage in a while. Looks great and enjoyed those impressions.

Watch this end up being Insomniac's best game since A Crack in Time.

After seeing the link above I'm fully expecting that.

 

[DieH@rd]

ESRAM is to be blamed.

:-/ Shame that even exclusive games year after launch cannot be optimized to work at 1080p.

 

[Courage]

I'm surprised the Xbox One can't render this at 1080p...It's not an impressive looking game by any stretch of the word. I could understand Ryse at 900p but this ?

This is also an open world game with a lot more going on on-screen.

 

[Silky]

I'm actually way more interested in seeing a detailed run through the character creator. That's where this game is going to live and die with me.

There's a minute or two of the customization menu for you.

--

Gonna bounce out because I can see this thread devolving into the usual. I don't mind the framerate (I'd love for it to be 60fps, but I don't expect it from an open world console game.) and I really couldn't care less about resolution. Sooooo...yehap.

Gimmie this game, on a silver platter with a bag of skins.

 

[mcz117chief]

The game looks very promising but does it have a chance of appearing anywhere else besides the xbox1 (pc,ps3/4,wiiu, etc.) ?

 

[MXRider]

This game is still going to be amazing.

It's dead rising, crackdown and crayons crayon box of strange colors all melded together.

 

[Jockel]

30fps native? What does that even mean? As opposed to 30fps interpolated from 15fps?

 

[alexandros]

The game looks very promising but does it have a chance of appearing anywhere else besides the xbox1 (pc,ps3/4,wiiu, etc.) ?

Maybe PC down the line, though I wouldn't count on it.

 

[cookie-monster]

the animation is awful

 

[outunderthestars]

Forgive me if this is a stupid question:

Is it possible to tell the difference between 900p and 1080p in a living room setting?

 

[Bgamer90]

I'm surprised the Xbox One can't render this at 1080p...It's not an impressive looking game by any stretch of the word. I could understand Ryse at 900p but this ?

Ryse isn't an open world game and it's very linear in comparison to how Sunset Overdrive looks.

 

[OldRoutes]

the animation is awful

Which animation?

 

[mcz117chief]

Maybe PC down the line, though I wouldn't count on it.

all right, thanks

 

[MXRider]

Probably not.
