You can play the cod mode next year. Let me know when ps4 pro owners can play this game enhanced.

When Microsoft lights their Kumbaiya candle...just wait for it.

 

[Esppiral]

Business, business....

Th

Isn't this like Namco making Tekken 7 run at 1080p on the Pro while leaving the Xbox version at 720p?

Xbox One 720p, PS4 900p, PS4 Pro 1080p. In this case, Namco, went for graphics over resolution. Tekken 6 also was under 720p last generation.

 

[Teslerum]

This sounds shady. It reeks of revenge and salt.

Could this be a response to the Modern Warfare deal?

Say it ain't so Microsoft, you're better than this.

I'm sure they have their reasons...but I can't see this helping more than hurting.

A: I really think this is just a case of Microsoft paying for 4k textures.

B: It doesn't really. Microsoft doesn't make any money from ps4 copies anyway.

Ah but it was never announced enhanced and PRO owners can play the FULL game from day 1

 

[NickFire]

Perhaps this will stop the hysterics about Sony being bad the next time a game that actually matters has Sony exclusive benefits.

 

[phil_t98]

BS excuse. The game is releasing this month. Who's footing the bill for the PC resolution?

Erm the graphics cars will be the ones where you change the resolution?

 

[Journey]

No, first off that wasn't some timed exclusivity or paid exclusivety at all. It was a PS and PC game. So I'm not sure of its relevance here or even of the relevance of timed exclusivity deals in this thread in general.

Second, the Saturn version was cancelled because the saturn was projected to sell like crap and they considered it too much work to port it. Nothing to do with anything here.

Why are you skipping over the entire PS2 generation? lol Timed exclusives stretch much farther back than Xbox 360, for instance, Grand theft auto 3 was timed exclusive for the PS2

 

[Jigsaah]

Sometimes I wonder if developers are just a little lazy with the PS4 Pro. I know the PS4 Pro isn't as powerful as the XBox One X, but I think they could of pushed certain multiplatform games a little harder on the PS4 Pro(DOA6 and Bloodstained to name a few). How can you have 4K or near 4K on a Xbox One, but can barely achieve 1080p on the Pro? Is the power discrepancy between the two consoles that wide or is it just much more challenging achieve comparable results? Maybe Microsoft really did allocate resources for enhanced performance on the XBox One X or it's on Sony's end or something?

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the X's GPU is something like 30-40% better than the PS4 Pros. That's pretty significant. 6 TF vs 4 TF also matters in terms of how good the enhancements are.

Well I wasn't referring to Microsoft being hurt by this...more so Take 2. I'm sure they care how many copies sell on PS4.

Lucky for me i'm gonna play this on pc, but sucks for soners guys.

Are you sure about that? I think GTA 3 came about before Xbox. If my memory is correct, I would lean towards Rockstar just not bothering with Xbox until it had a worthwhile install base (if I were guessing).

 

[JLB]

Doesn't matter. This game will be played best with a 2080 RTX.


....oh and mod support

This comment reminds me of my childhood, when with the friends were measuring our dicks to find who had the bigger one.

 

[michaelius]

So much for good guy Phil narrative

The GPU is about 40% faster than the pro at fp32 maths, but it can be 70%+ faster in memory bandwidth limited situations. On top of that, if available memory is a pressure in resolution scaling, then the X1X has an absolutely enormous advantage.

MS didn't fund or publish TOW. But it would be worth their time to pay for X1X enhancements, even if T2 didn't want to. It would be an investment in their own developer.

It wouldn't be worth MS's time funding Pro enhancements. Clearly wasn't worth Sony or Take Two's time either, especially as the developer is owned by MS now.

Seriously, why would MS pay to develop Pro enhancements?

Have you modded your dick to have more chance to win the contest with your friends?

Your salty tears must be blinding you. PC is an open platform, they don't need to re-optimize for performance or recertify like they would for the Pro.

Well, If MS financed the X support for this title, it would be like if some of the guys made the surgery and got an extra inch.

For the Players mang.

Anything MS does to promote exclusive benefits for one of two consoles will perpetuate the industry's excuses to rake in the Sony cash for deals like MW.

 

[DedEmbryonicCell]

I mean lets be honest here, the graphics aren't going to make this game .. it's going to be Obsidian finally making another classic RPG .. 1K, 2K or 4K won't make or break it ..

 

[Hendrick's]

Your salty tears must be blinding you. Do you think the game codes itself?

No. I think Phil Spencer personally coded in the X enhancements just to stick it to PS fanboys.

Exactly, Who buy this game doesn't give almost a fuck about graphics imho.

Same thing with games like elex or greedfall.

 

[scalman]

i dont care i will play it on PC. game dont have best visuals anyway so , 4k wont help there much i think. its good in other things. thats what im gonna explore for hrs

 

[Journey]

Nope, there was actually a 6 months exclusivity deal for not just GTA3, but the subsequent games, Vice City and San Andrea's, same 6 month BS.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Any enhancements for switch would be great.

 

[DynamiteCop!]

Who gives a shit. The Xbox one X hardly got any of the updated Ps4 Pro patches for a lot of games.

The only game I can think of that was updated for the Pro and not the X is Metal Gear Solid V, that's it.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Any enhancements for switch would be great.

Just pray it even runs on the thing at a stable 30fps.

Watch dogs 2 and tekken 7.

Can't say I had a similar childhood. That's kind of weird......To each his own.

 

[DynamiteCop!]

Watch dogs 2 and tekken 7.

Those games were both released and enhanced on the Pro before the X even came out. Like I said to my knowledge MGSV is the only game to get a patch while skipping the X while both are available.

 

[JLB]

Can't say I had a similar childhood. That's kind of weird......To each his own.

ohh c'mon, you havent done that? lol

 

[Blade2.0]

agree but as people are saying that Microsoft started it with the DLC and stuff on the 360 I had to point out it goes back further than that

We are talking about timed dlc not games. That's the rub and Microsoft started it.

 

[93xfan]

Maybe they wanted to keep the fan noise down.

 

[Snake29]

This game doesn't look really fun to me.

 

[phil_t98]

We are talking about timed dlc not games. That's the rub and Microsoft started it.

So your using what fits an agenda. As pointed out it went back further, earthworm Jim had different levels on megadrive and SNES so same thing

 

[Bogroll]

Maybe the devs have really sensitive ears

 

[Teslerum]

BTW: Footage of the PS4 version by GiantBomb

Quick Look: EX: The Outer Worlds (10/16/2019)

Obsidian's Leonard Boyarsky and Nitai Poddar stop by to unfreeze Ben and Brad and experience life in the corporate colonies.

Looks good actually (Image Quality wise)

Everything should be blamed on MS, even before they had a console

 

[Virex]

It's Obsidian. I'm just praying the game will actually run.

 

[Virex]

The Switch version is getting dehancements

 

[Teslerum]

It's Obsidian. I'm just praying the game will actually run.

Actually no, for the switch. Virtous (FFX, LA Noir, Dark Souls) is handeling the port.

 

[Virex]

Don't worry, the game's going to be buggy and a technical pos on all platforms. It's Obsidian after all.

This is literally all that needs to be said. Why enhance if you can't even optimise on any of the platforms. All their games have been buggy pieces of shit when they launched. Even PoE, Tyranny and PoE2 ran like shit and buggy messes when they launched. They hardly even tried to fix Tyranny

So it turns out, CNN...I mean Windows Central got it wrong....they have a habit of trying to make the Xbox look better....should have known. File this under Fake News

Hahaha!

So MS didn't cockblock PS4 Pro, and definitely didn't interrupt pre-existing publisher arrangements. Hoo boy!

Sure the MS haters are going to be in here walking back their statements any moment now ...

Did they get it wrong or are they getting hit with a shit ton of negative feedback and are retroactively changing their stance?

 

[jshackles]

The game comes out what? Next week?

There is no way in hell a team - even one with unlimited funds - could put together a Pro patch for a game like this and have it pass through Sony's verification process all in less than nine days.
