The game looks great and i already preordered but does anybody else miss the snow? That made the game look so georgous and im afraid the atmosphere is gonna be lacking without the skyscrapers and snowed in city
They don't have to add them. The problem I had with the Division 1 was that the realistic setting was holding Massive back. Enemy variety, gun variety, mechanics variety, it all suffers under the yoke of realism. Leveling up and looting aren't as exciting. It's really hard to expand on the concept, when all you are fighting is guys with guns and the occassional Armored Large Man (who's quite unrealistic in his own right). And that's on top of the already unrealistic mechanic of HP bars and bullet-sponges. You can see they're trying to shake things up with the Boston Dynamics Dog Drone. Imagine what they could do if they went with a near realistic setting, like Esoterrorists.
So strange that they've never patched Watch Dogs 2 for the X but there's a Pro patch. There's got to be an exclusive patch deal there especially considering how Watch Dogs 2 came out right around the time the Pro launched. Very strange indeed.
The Division 2 is looking great!
Ubi better drop that resolution in favour of a locked frame-rate. Also, I hate screen tearing, hope it's fixed at or soon after launch.
It is strange indeed. I was wondering the same too tbh. Watch Dogs 2 would've looked even better with an X patch!
Why don't more old Sony exclusives get Pro updates?
Nobody knows. Could be nobody's working on it anymore to do the X patch.
Hopefully the launch version is locked and screen tearing is eliminated. We don't know how old this demo build is, so I am hopeful that they have it locked down by launch.
Yeah, hopefully. DF does say that it's an old stable build, not sure how old though.
Patches cost money and when support of a game is dropped, enhanced patches are far less likely. If the two systems launched at opposite times, we'd likely see the 1X version receiving a patch while the Pro would be unsupported.
We are talking Ubi here, not some small indie dev.
The Pro enhancement was so good, damn shame they didn't bother with the One X.
Yea this is the big negative I had with the first game. The loot especially just doesn't feel special or fun to use after a little bit.
I dont' know if it was just me or what but I jumped into the first game pretty late (after the survival DLC dropped) and tried to play through and hit a HARD brick wall in difficulty where I had completed all the available story missions and the next one I could find on the map had guys taking 2 full magazines to the face to kill and were 2 shotting me with pistols from a block away.
I uninstalled it and never went back.

That would ruin one of my all time favorite IPs.
Just this thought alone annoys me.
Are they adding dynamic Gore to Pokemon this time? I really wanna feel the viseral nature of the animal fights.
I believe that Anthem is native 4k on the 1X. I tried the demo on my 1X and PC and the PC was set to ultra. Pixel peeping screenshots of the same scene between both versions of the game revealed virtually no difference in texture quality or sharpness/resolution.
Now, granted the 1X performance wasn't the smoothest thing in the world (nor was the PC version despite having an i7 and 2080) but the 1X version most certainly wasn't lacking in resolution or visual quality.
All that said, from what I've seen, the PC version of Division2 gets extra graphical goodies that the consoles won't have. Maybe that's the lesson that Anthem should have taken and learned from. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if Bioware scale back certain visual elements on the consoles to stablize performance.
What? They're both native 4k with performance issues due to unfinished code...practically the same.
But only runs in 4k on X, on Pro it was 4k menus and lower res for the game (though I don't remember the exact number it drops to around 60% of 4k, and the upper bound is around 1800p)
Though that was probably higher res counts than other games on Pro around that time, so there's that.
