Rage 2 has gone gold - 1080p60 on Pro and Xbox One X.

Because the range of hardware is much better than what's in these consoles? If you want a wide range of options it's PC gaming you are looking for.
it's not a 1:1 performance trade off, they'd have to optimize for different things to get 4k/30fps running smoothly vs 1080p/60fps
Because that's how it has always been. If you want the option to choose ALL the time, then you know where to go.
Would of still liked to have the option to make it 4k at 30fps if possible. Have this already paid for on the X. I enjoyed the first game a lot back in the days. Really hope this has a good enough narrative to the game over all the hours. I'm not expecting Last of Us Narrative here but something that's least entertaining.
Same. I really wish they would just give us the option.
Do we have any info on the review embargo? The game looks fun, but I'd like to see what couple of my most trusted sites/reviewers say before I bite the bullet.
Getting this day 1, but hope they've learnt a lot from Mad Max, which was poorly supported... especially as they are talking more like games as a service type language. Still miffed that you couldn't reset the camps and track rings in mad max, meaning achievements were a nightmare to complete (and Im not playing mad max the whole way through again as it was a boring slog doing all the activities).
Having ID doing the shooting mechanics will make this a 1000% better game than mad max.
Well, they aren't really asking for a wide range of options, just a second one. Plenty of other games on console have multiple performance profiles, it's not unheard of.
No doubt, the shooting/combat looks great. But still not set on the tone, seems to have gone from totally serious right over to the other way of totally silly, but still hopeful that is lands more in the middle.
Is that it on the 1X or is there no 4K at all...? we should have the choice in every game for this from now on...
EDIT: ok just noticed your bigger then...we should have option for 30 or 60/4K or 1080.
I'm not sure what you'd qualify as fast paced, but the pace of Rage 2 seems pretty brisk to me. Based on all the footage released you're constantly moving forward, mixing abilities with gunplay, and not just sitting behind cover playing whack a mole.
It's not about 60fps not being a good thing. The problem is quite clear... the X is faster than the pro - by quite a margin. Essentially here you have both systems running the game at the same quality and the same frame rate.
Sooo... either the pro is seriously dropping frames and is nowhere near 60fps... or the X is really pushing detail and loss everywhere...
But regardless, the systems pushing the same? That doesn't make sense. If the game is hitting 60fps on pro, then it should be able to easily hit 1440p on X at the same detail.
So I have no idea what's going on here but i really hate the way the x is given such a hard shoulder by devs sometimes. Just screams wrong to me.

Hopefully it won't be an issue anymore next gen. Unless someone decides that they need to do cinematic gameplay because the human eyes can't see more than 24 fps.
My next gen dream is most games being 1800p/60 fps as a base. I play plenty of games on my 4ktv at this setting and I'm hard pressed to notice the difference between 1800p and native 4k.
With HDMI 2.1 allowing 4k120, 30 fps is just so..awful.
Next gen is why I feel like we are seeing more uncapped 60 games with drops. With the new consoles (well at least Xbox) I'm expecting these games to run at a locked 60 at perhaps native 4k.

With raytracing being a focus next gen you're going to get more 30, not less
This is kind of my issue as well. I'm hoping this means the X version has a ton more detail, shadows, and the like.
do you think they should do a special optimization for the Xbox One X? that is too much work, was clear from the get go that this machine won´t be pushed to the max at all because it would be much more work for developers to achieve that.
"just screams wrong" is nonsense imo, you can´t expect that devs will go the extra mile for one console, they will try to achieve an equal level for both upgraded consoles and that is it.
people expected way too much out of the X´s performance advantage...
If technically possible, they should give the option of 4k/checkerboard 30fps for the campaign....and lock 1080p/60fps for multiplayer modes down the road.
But also it's about the playing experience they planned from early on. If their vision was based off 60fps gameplay, then I think it's ok to respect that. This is a Studio that should be given the benefit of the doubt. Trusted.
Everybody. There isn't a single case where 30fps is better than 60fps. Only people who will disagree are people who have never gone back and played something they are used to in 30 then play it in 60+. You will never want to go back. The downgrade is too big.
...or they disagree with you because they'd like the option.
Hell, if it's a rocky 60fps full of tons of dips I bet you'll here even more people asking for a locked 30fps.
I don't care
I play all of my shooters on my PC in 120fps
I don't care
The framerate limitations will not hinder my enjoyment of a single player first person shooter
In your opinion maybe, not everyone prefers framerate over resolution, or else we wouldn't have had the options in the first place.
I wasnt a believer in 60 FPS until recently. After playing Halo, Forza games and some other games in 60, I could clearly see the difference. But I would still prefer the option to choose.
Again, my biggest concern for this right now is its delivery of its narrative. With ID over seeing the gameplay, I'm not too concerned regarding the actual shooting.
I mean, the X is significantly stronger than the pro. It should easily be able to run the same game, at the same framerate, at a higher resolution compared to the Pro. So it's dissapointing that the large power gap isn't being used.
We'd see this same discussion crop up if the PS4 wasn't running a game better than the base xb1
Exactly why I'm just passing on the game. Devs can't be arsed then neither can I.
