Watch Dogs: Legion - Xbox Series X Inside Look

re: the HDR comments, wouldn't it be a bit weird for WD:Legion not to have native HDR 'support' and therefore need the auto-hdr mapping?

I'm guessing the reason they didn't do that is because they couldn't keep 60 even at 1440p and 1080p was too blurry for them. Otherwise I'm sure they would've done it, for peeps like yourself who could gaf about spatial resolution.

At least give us the option. Most people have less than 40 inch TVs, and you're not going to see hardly any difference there in resolution.

I've only done 5 or 6 main missions and it's less about the characters and more about the events that are happening and the main baddies of the story. The very first mission actually hits pretty hard compared to WD2 and I thought it was done extremely well.

Right now though I've spent more time recruiting and messing around the city. I spent a whole hour on the football minigame already. I loved WD2 and this one is really good so far, but it's also different enough to not feel too much the same.

Download will probably take around same time as Karak Karak review, so I am downloading it while cooking my dinner.

Huh, why is this game has looked ugly as hell to me in all the other media, but this actually looks really nice.

That RT though
 
watching it in 4K on my 4K monitor, this does looks upscaled. I can see the shimmering line edges.
But the RT is mad smooth.
 
Just watched it again on my 65 inch TV this doesn't look clean atall , like a native 4k image is this YouTube compression or the game is upscaled
 
I'd expect a performance mode on both consoles post launch, maybe before Christmas. They want to push RT on console for marketing.

I wish they would actually do a side by side comparison on this stuff... show everyone what they are missing in a real comparison.

Yeh lol, who said that XsX isn't able to play next gen games and doesn't have RT?
Did i miss something?

The last 2 months lol. The series x has the worst api ever so RT is long ways off. Series x has rdna 1 Shader cores the daily bad news err rumor threads.

Yeah I thought the same but the people will think upscaling is a bad thing, it's nice seeing AAA open world games running smoothly with Ray tracing
 
Having a blast playing this on PC. Its got that typical Ubi-jank but its a lot of fun.

Per the graphics, its hit or miss. At night when you can really take in all the raytracing, its damn beautiful.

This is not necessarily FUD... the scheme for the Series X shader unit and what AMD showed as the RDNA2 shader unit is different.
 
Watched on a 4K TV and something seems off. Most likely is the Youtube quality, even though I watched using the 4K option, of course.

Or maybe I was expecting more. Should've know better, I guess.
 
Looks good, about on-par with what a 2060 can do. The game can run surprisingly well even on weaker hardware, eg I can do 30 fps @ 1800p with a nice mix of settings and even ultra textures + hd pack, on an RX 480, which is basically a slower GPU than the one in the One X.

I think if this game wasn't so knee-capped by CPU performance (due to the devs' fault) you could've definitely had a 60 fps mode because the Series X GPU can handle it. But as it stands even on PC with a 10900K @ 5.3 Ghz you're not promised a locked 60 so it was never going to happen for consoles.

This is @#$%& insane 😮😯🙉 absolutely Stunning. London looks incredible and so alive. I could just imagine now Valhalla with Dem Vistas 🙈🙉 Series X

I actually going to stop playing Legion on the X and wait for UPS to deliver XsX on launch day.

Nov. 10th almost here!!

?? Does PlayStation 5 only have "ray tracing?" Wtf is up why does the series x and s version say "fully benefit from the hardware accelerated raytracing" but the ps5 it's just "ray tracing and immerse"

I think it's just PR talk so they didn't copy and paste the same thing.
