Any gaming laptop that can handle 4K on ultra settings ? Maybe an asus ROG or an Alenware?

Maybe an Alienware Area 51m, but I'm not sure why you'd get one unless you had a lot of cash to burn.

 

[aerts1js]

The graphics are AMAZING. I think this would be a great game to play if you just want to chill/relax. I could see it getting a tad boring after awhile. VR would be so immersive though...

Sorry, not trying to cancel this simulation as it has quite a following.

I watched a number of YouTube videos on this and those guys are hardcore flight sim.

Don't get upset.

Sorry . I had just come from the 'Next Gen' thread when i wrote that post.

 

[digitaltrance]

Now is the time for me to upgrade my video card to this upcoming gen and for this masterpiece, I am all in!

 

[stranno]

I played with wheels, joysticks, pedals.

10 inches of dust in each, just scavenged from the attic

Remember, this is not a next-gen game because it is always online and next-gen doesn't start for another 3-4 years because ND hasn't released their game.

Yes but FS2020 will likely have a better story than the next ND game

[#Phonepunk#]

as good as MSFS2020 looks in the sky, of course don't expect it to have the exact same high visual fidelity at ground level

it is a game about flying planes tho. you aren't going to be on the ground for very long!

i am quite amazed by the clouds in this. they look very realistic. some of the darker rain clouds look so good!

 

[ManaByte]

Yes but FS2020 will likely have a better story than the next ND game

And more actual gameplay time too.

 

[SirTerry-T]

See you after Naughty Dog's PS5 game reveal. That's where next-gen starts.

Now, now children there's room enough on the bus for BOTH games to start Next-gen.

 

[Endless Fluff]

I just hope it's going to be as good as Flight Sim X in terms of online interactivity. That shit can be really funny depending on the people you play with.

 

[Bodomism]

Here are just a few examples of the attention to detail in ND's games. The tech.

BOTW is more impressive than TLOU 2 in physics and interactivity.

MS FS is the most advance technically and it makes TLOU2 looks like Justin Bieber in comparison to MSFS power metal Sabaton.

 

[wordslaughter]

We may not see DLSS 2.0 on this game, but we'll definitely get DLSS 3.0

Rumor is that it's trivial to add DLSS 3.0 into any game that supports TAA, which this game does.

 

[GaviotaGrande]

People here are really comparing Flight Simulator to The Last of Us?

Spoiler

 

[IbelieveInGenerations]

But but but I thought PCs ran all games at 4k/60fps with ease.

If not even the most expensive gpu can do It, so 4k/60fps is a distant dream for 95% of PC players.

PCs are not ready for native 4k. Devs should make It at lower res.

It's a pc game, run it any Res you want....

[Windle Poons]

• Map streamed by the Azure cloud service is several petabytes worth of data
• Terrain generation, skies and clouds of unprecedented quality
• Very heavy on hardware. 2080 Ti/4K/Ultra settings nets around 30-40fps
• Scales very well with lower settings
• CPU-bound at around 70-80fps on Ultra
• Currently, AMD GPU's performs much worse
• 10+ hours of play-time used around 7GB of data

Time to sell my kidneys to fund a new pc.

That's hilarious!

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

This should've been at the July showcase tbh. C'mon, Microsoft

Yeah but then Craig would be sitting in the cockpit and everything would be 900p/30fps

 

[pasterpl]

Now, this is what I call next gen. This looks crazy, and it is probably the most impressive game technically I have seen so far. Dynamic time of the day based on different time zones, dynamic And realistic weather that replicates the real world weather (I think they have mentioned that there are up to 60 layers of weather simulation on top of each other and condition change with altitud), whole planet available in the game, a first game that shows that "power of the cloud" is not only a marketing slogan. This game should be a benchmark of what next gen is, not only because of the graphics but also because tech behind it.

 

[Md Ray]

Oh but muh Naughty Dog. See the bolded? This whole thread is doing just that The tech in FS2020 is light years ahead of any ND soap opera.

Eh, not really. Just because it tanks 2080 Ti to 30fps and streams Bing map images into the game, doesn't mean it's "light-years ahead".

 

[93xfan]

Basically the next step, just a shame its a flight sim, if I coukd fly a helicopter with bf controls id play it

It got a VR mode?

I love the BF controls. I miss playing helicopters being in Battlefield.

 

[Manstructiclops]

Lol no problem, just shows what you think a game is.....to each their own. I think its just a boring simulator that will eat up your data and make no impact on the gaming world. I need great gameplay....but that my opinion....enjoy the simulator bro....the clouds look fantastic.

How many videos about Kojimas walking sim did you make again?

 

[Silent Viper]

But I thought Xbox One was holding back next gen visuals?

This not gonna to Xbox one. Quote me on this

 

[dwish]

Wonder how this will be priced considering the data streaming off Azure. Will it be a one time purchase? Aircraft as MT similar to DCS? Subscription? Ads?

 

[Silent Viper]

Why wasn't the same passion and care taken with Halo Infinite visuals? Every other MS team and project seem to know what they're doing except Bonnie Ross and her Island of Misfit Diversity Hires.

Multiple reports say 343 is worst managed studio inside MS. All other MS studios collaborate with each other but no one collaborates with 343. They got very arrogant and abusive heads with no one creative vision. Its a travesty that our beloved Halo franchise is with them.

 

[Silent Viper]

It is coming to Xbox.

Yeah Xbox seriesX and Lockhart not One

 

[M1chl]

That isecurity of ND fans is amazing, then again they got cucked into playing TLoU 2, so it's not surprising.

 

[GaviotaGrande]

Eh, not really. Just because it tanks 2080 Ti to 30fps and streams Bing map images into the game, doesn't mean it's "light-years ahead".

When I don't like and don't see any point in comparing Flight Simulator to The Last of Us, downplaying the tech on display here is just silly.

 

[LooseLips]

I love the BF controls. I miss playing helicopters being in Battlefield.

Me too! They did show in the video how the control schemes are scaleable - so you can make it as easy or complex (realistic?) as you wish. I think it's trying to be as acccessible as possible, which I think is great.

I'm intrigued as to how well I'll be able to run it, I have a 'mixed up' PC. A 9900k at 5.1GHz, 32GB of 3200 RAM - but an aging 1070 FTW and a sluggish 30Mbps internet connection and a 1440p monitor, I hope for mostly High settings, but not confident...

I reckon you can easily run high settings with that spec. There are various different data settings so you can tune that to your connection restrictions. In the current build you have to be online all the time but I believe there is going to be an offline mode in the full release where you can download a specific area of the world, there is a low bandwidth mode where you can just stream in the bing maps and nothing else and (amongst others) there is the full mode where it will stream in the Bing maps and then stream in 3D assets to overlay on top. The data usage options look to be really tuneable.

 

[Martinski43]

This game looks very scaleable and already looks fantastic on medium / high settings so it will probably run fine on my setup. Thinking of even getting a Logitech joystick for this.



This guy says it runs smooth on his GTX 1080 on Ultra, but he don't have an FPS counter and maybe thinks around 30-40 fps is smooth.

 

[hyperbertha]

Showing up close looks amazing as the game streams in even grass blades for the terrain. Not sure what you are getting at.

When you get closer to the terrain its nowhere near as impressive

 

[metareferential]

Landmarks though have higher fidelity models.

Of course you can't expect to have that kind of fidelity on any random building.

Still, it's the biggest jump in scope and detail we've ever seen. Anyone failing to understand that is just stupid or trolling.

Scope? Haven't Flight simulator always have had the entire world to explore? Also in terms of detail, the cities and everything are really simple geometry models. They just give the illusion of detail from far away. The tech is very impressive and accurate layout for the whole world is definitely next level tech, but in terms of pure graphics this isn't on the level of the epic demo imo. There is nothing next gen here except for the AI algorithm that converts 2d map images to 3d models as far as I have seen.

That's just downplaying it, really. And it doesn't mean there aren't other projects that are equally impressive.

Watch the video if you haven't already.

 

[TheContact]

The amount of detail is nuts. The cockpit isn't just a static image, but each instrument is dynamic.

lmao. This game will get canceled for the Xbox One. Bookmark this.

I think it'll release it's just going to be severely neutered compared to the PC and XSX releases.

 

[Birdo]

So many streamers are going to dox themselves looking for their house in this game

 

[Journey]

I fail to see your point.

 

[Zoro7]

You need to be a special breed to enjoy this game. Looks amazing I agree but gameplay isn't fun for me.

 

[Skyr]

Can't wait to scout for forced labour camps.

This feels like weaponized autism at this point.

[Mattyp]

Glad waiting until the 3080ti drops for this.

Did someone just post ND corridor gifs compared to the entire world. Next level autism.

 

[aerts1js]

Imagine going into a flight simulator thread and feeling the need to bring up the last of us.

 

[eNT1TY]

Xbox is water king regardless of phase state. But on a serious note, low terrain detail and reduced geometry architecture isn't uncommon on a flight sim. As long as airports maintain a high degree of fidelity and not very aggressive LOD'ing on approach you will never know the difference.

 

[Freeman]

Remember, this is not a next-gen game because it is always online and next-gen doesn't start for another 3-4 years because ND hasn't released their game.

So my PC is already nextgen? Didn't see that coming.
