Sunset Overdrive: 900p/30fps

For all the people saying well BF and Destiny will be 1080p why can't this game too? Keep in mind that those games are just estimates right now. BFH doesn't even run at 1080p on the PS4 yet and we have not seen anything from Destiny on XB1.

At this same time last year we were told COD Ghosts would be 1080p60 on both systems too.

That's a shame.

Developers like Insomniac deserve to be on Playstation so they can fully bring their art to its highest potential. They made a mistake.

Developers like Insomniac could develop for PC if they wanted to do that... The only difference between this game being on the 2 systems is probably the small increase in resolution, and it sure as heck doesn't change the game from being fun or not. Who knows if Sony would've actually went and spent the money to fund and advertise a game as much as Microsoft has done for this game so far. Just because it's not on your console of choice doesn't mean the devs made a mistake. Even on PS4 the game would still be 30FPS locked as that what the devs seem to be going for.

I don't understand what you are all so surprised about. Insomniac make great games, but has unfortunately in this case has been hindered by weak hardware. If you were Insomniac, you'd want your art to shine as brightly as possible, which in this case it cannot.

If you were Insomniac you'd want to get paid for your work which Sony wasn't willing to do for Sunset Overdrive unless they kept the IP. Studios don't care about bullshit console wars, it's a business. They will make the best game they can regardless of the console they are working on. Platinum made games for the WiiU and now they are making a game for the XB1 because they have been hired to do so.

900p is HD.

Sub-hd is less than 720p.

I wasn't talking about 900p but just in general. But you are still correct to point this out, as there is no X1 or PS4 game that runs below 720p, so sub-hd shouldn't even be brought up.

For me, even 720p is starting to look rough on a 55 inch TV + But 900p isn't bad at all (I would love 1080p), but it is what it is. I'm more concerned about whether they can lock the 30FPS down.

EDIT: My original statement was stupid. Not trying to dodge it. My apologies.

I agree. They should have put all their PS2 games on the Xbox.

Did you ever own a PS2? if yes then you should've been really sad back then given you that you care so much about developers bringing their art to it's full potential, talk about an immense amounts of botched art and mistakes from a lot of developers back then.

Getting real tired of this 900p faff

Let's look at the bright side: if this self-sustaining resolution (and framerate) "drama" persists over the next years, the console manufactures will not forget to focus adequately on performance with their next gaming system. As we learned, they do care about bad publicity (with resulting bad sales) and are willing to change accordingly.

Don't. Don't say this bullshit, please. The difference of pixel number it's vastly more. This non sense needs to end from awhile.

Yes, the difference in pixel number is greater, however the jump in visual fidelity is not.

Yeah, 720p is somewhat disappointing. I'm hoping devs can stick to 900p on the X1 from now on though as I find 900p to be perfectly fine.

If they manage to lock it at 30 then I think the game will play fine. I don't agree that 60fps is entirely necessary.

So what you're saying is that games never looked good or like art until the PS4? Really?
 
I mean hopefully there is still time left. Hopefully, they can make 1080p but his quote was extremely disencouraging that it's not on their priority list.
 
The Chef said:
WTF do you think it means?
It means HOW can a game like this not be 1080p and 60fps?
There is no way the xbox hardware is incapable of doing that. The bright fun colorful style of this game demands 60fps. Insomniac are just plain terrible for not making that so.
Get it?
Click to expand...



Oh we get it alright, you're basically saying that a game that looks cartooney should be easier to render, amirite? Toy Story graphics are so PS2 era lol.

After looking at the reveal CG trailer, I was interested to see how it would translate to actual gameplay, and I was pleasantly surprise how amazingly close it looks. The game is a work of art and you obviously have no idea how much technical work has been done on this engine, and disrespectful to be calling the developers lame.
 
The game looks incredible. So vibrant. Wonder though, with the One struggling for 1080p a lot so early on, as the gen goes on will they push for more visual effects and continue to struggle or will they get their heads around the hardware better and resolution/frame rate etc will improve?

I am utterly confused by the people saying they "don't care". No matter the type of genre but especially for a action game like this , 60fps is a must.
Click to expand...

Because it isnt as important to some people as it is to you maybe? You know, opinions.
I'll take a locked 30fps with better visuals over 60fps every single time. The difference between locked 30 vs 60 just isnt significant in my eyes.

Unfortunately, Xbone is the first console in history where the graphics will get worse over time. I know this because of a drive-by post by a Sony fanboy in a thread this one time.
 
Eh, I haven't really followed this game, but even I can acknowledge it's got a nice art style. Most people won't care about that resolution when they see it running.
