Support NeoGAF

[FlyyGOD]

I'm not sure if the developer of The Falconeer interview has been posted already but this is amazing news. Microsoft touted 8k but I didn't expect to see any games take advantage of this beside very simple games. An open world game at 8k really shows the power of the gpu.

Lol 8K? Epic

 

[oldergamer]

This is cool and all, but i don't think the falconer pushes the hardware much. I will be more impressed if it could run forza horizon 4 with high detail in 8K

[Donarudo]

Official source is here: Inside Xbox Series X Optimized: The Falconeer

Doesn't seem like a technically demanding game.

 

[JimboJones]

This is the game with 0 textures isn't it, still cool to see the option.

 

[Bluemaster77]

I know this is a visually simplistic game but that's impressive.

 

[Soodanim]

8k60 is impressive, regardless of whether or not it’s a graphical masterpiece of a game. Interesting to have support for such an extreme resolution ahead of its time, too. By that, I mean how many consumer 8K displays are there?

 

[j0hnnix]

but can it do Dynamic 10k 60fps

And in todays news, Pong finally able to run at 8k..........

What is it with you people and completely meaningless numbers?

Not meaningless at all.

 

[Hendrick's]

No interest in anything beyond 4K, but this game definitely looks intriguing.

You're comparing an open world shooter to pong? Atleast try and hide your bias.

 

[quest]

It will be on my short list for January depending on medium and the ascent. Cyberpunk 2077 is first up of course. Hopefully the medium. Then either this or the ascent. Looks fun.

 

[Diddy X]

meh

Give me 1080k at 1440 fps or give me death.

 

[Vasto]

This is the master mind that is responsible.

if they are all 60fps i dont understand why you wouldnt just use 8k...

It can run at 25k for all I care. All that matters is if the game is good.

Aww only meaningless when it suits your agenda.

 

[IbelieveInGenerations]

Cartooney Minecraft, sea of thieves type of game, I see...

 

[The Alien]

Glad the game is 60fps. 4k is cool, couldnt care about 8k.

I am excited for this game. Seen some vids on it. Vibe, gameplay, art all looked cool.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Open world or not, if the graphics are simple enough then its not impossible to run it at 8K. I even remember being able to run Driver San Francisco at 4k in a gtx 970. You can also find people running minecraft at 8K in systems with equivalent specs of the current gen

 

[Mister Wolf]

Would rather have a higher framerate mode. Supersampling does nothing for me.

 

[GustavoLT]

that glorious 8K 60 fps graphics...

 

[Riky]

Is this the first ever 8k console game then? 60fps too!

 

[Digity]

This is supposed to be impressive?

 

[turtlepowa]

This is supposed to be impressive?

It's Xbox news, so of course not.

 

[Digity]

It's Xbox news, so of course not.

Same question would be asked if this was on Ps5. Basic looking graphics can push high resolutions, who would’ve thought?

 

[SirTerry-T]

Game looks damned impressive for what is, for all intents and purposes, the work of a one man outfit?
The developer seems like one of those inspired, rocket scientist type developers from the golden age of game development. We could do with more Devs like that around.
Hope the game turns out as good as these previews look.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

This is cool and all, but i don't think the falconer pushes the hardware much.

I mean, that's why it's running in 8K. I guess it's like when Okami rendered in 4k on PS3. A simple (but beautiful) art style can leave a lot of head room to increase resolution and performance.

 

[Edgelord79]

Probably run at 16k 60 fps on PC if we had 16k monitors.

At the very least it will probably be 144 fps at minimum on PC at 8k.

Nice try though!

 

[MCplayer]

This is the game with 0 textures isn't it, still cool to see the option.

still looks better than infinite

 

[xiseerht]

Wow , the hate for Xbox is so unreal here . I have never seen a page downplay 8K and 60fps like it is bad thing .

Console wars. If your plastic box can’t do it, attack someone else’s. Case in point, Gamepass or haptic triggers.

 

[Rheon]

Who cares?

Is the game actually good?

 

[pasterpl]

Who cares?

previews are rather positive

 

[CuNi]

People saying "0 textures", "not really hardware demanding" etc. Salt is real.
Even if all above is true, this game still kicks ass in terms of aesthetics and art style for like 90% of available games, and those 10% that may look better are all capped to 1440p/30.

People attacking this game for low poly art-style etc. are the exact reason why we're getting 500€ consoles that barely manage 4k/30 and probably internally have to resort to dynamic scaling.
I wish the old days back where the next goal for games was not to hit the next resolution in a playable fps matter but actually make fun to play games.

 

[xiseerht]

It is starting to become insane . I honestly feel sorry for people that are so heavily invested in console wars. It is ok to have some fun , but geez folks.

Cartooney 480p 13 fps post, I see...

 

[geary]

I wonder if Hades will come to 8K on XBSX, the same speech will see.

 

[Great Hair]

Wow , the hate for Xbox is so unreal here . I have never seen a page downplay 8K and 60fps like it is bad thing .

The developer is kinda telling everyone

"look, we are yazl.. we could have added more effects, raytracing, more enemies, new levels? more trees? and have it run at blistering 4K60 or 1440p120+ ... but we didnt bother for any QOL and just upressed the resolution to make "good use" of those 12 tera flops".

No one gonna create a thread when Abzu, Journey run at 8K on the PS5, because 8K is bullshit. Just because we can play Half Life 1 in 16K does not mean, its something to get horny about. Looks shite, even at 16K (4K@4xSSAA).

8K = lazy "remaster"

 

[Tranquil]

if they are all 60fps i dont understand why you wouldnt just use 8k...

My monitor maxes out at 4k.

So there's that.

Nobody will know until game actually releases.

 

[StateofMajora]

Wow you guys are idiots. 8k is 4x 4k resolution, so regardless this is impressive.

Assuming not dynamic anyway.

 

[Quasicat]

So I wonder if supersampling is a thing for 4K when a source is playing at 8K. Before I picked up a 4K tv, the One X looked better on my 1080p tv than anything else I played. Apparently, this is because of supersampling.

 

[Reindeer]

Not sure what the benefit of running in 8K would be today, especially for a simplistic game like this, but it's still cool it can do that on a console.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Just checked out a video. Colourful, cartoony and no significant textures. Of course it could run very fast.

I don't think you could notice a difference between 8k and 4k
