This guy somewhere in the video says it's 1080p on X and not 4K. So clearly that's coming later down the line. Either way, this is a video worth watching.

Framerate after landing looks very smooth as well.

It is definitely more than 1080p, just look at my screenshots, this stuff is clearly downsampled from higher resolution, no question about that.

I think it'll come. Probably didn't want to crash the servers on the first day, plus it'll probably up to the Devs. That's my guess.
It's not up to the devs, it was a requirement of the program. It's why every single Game Preview game has a trial except PUBG. This isn't fair on the other developers and Game Preview games of course should have trials as they're unfinished. Microsoft shouldn't be able to make an exception for themselves.

Where are you reading that there's no trial? Do you have a link? That's really disappointing (if it stays that way after launch tomorrow).

Na I understand where there coming from they will probley give it a week. The servers would litterally explode if they had a free trail.

Hmm. Interesting, although not surprising given how poorly that game plays (IMO).



I'm a bit surprised there's a 4K pixel count/HDR on release when we were told (or presumed?) that the X stuff would come later, so I get it. Would love confirmation one way or the other.

I don't know anything about pixel count but I think they were talking about more enhanced features and hi-res textures if I'm remembering correctly.

Why no 60 FPS option?

I run the game on very low

Seems Xbox is on medium which is impressive...but the game is totally okay on low or very low l, especially for the FPS tradeoff

Is it true they will make an option?

Nobody has any idea aside from a comment by the developer that the X runs (or now, will eventually run) at 60 FPS.

Welp this game has revealed to me how shit my Elite controller is. Tons of inconsistencies because my left analog stick is loose. This is not an issue in other games for the most part. If my stick is not 100% straight I basically don't move at all.

for now, try upping the center dead zone until it stops drifting

Is anyone from US/East Coast able to successfully purchase from CD Keys now?

Considering doing that and gifting my physical copy...

Does he say it offhand? Because Kage Maru counted 4K.

Just as a disclaimer, I could be wrong. I only recently started pixel counting but if my measurements hold up, it's native 4K in the picture I quoted earlier. It's also clear that the 1080p shots are being downsampled. Assuming I can include the blended pixels from those shots, I'm coming up with a native 4K image again.

Would be curious to see if a more experienced counter can verify my counts.

I seem to be the only one bothered that Microsoft has waved the Free Trial requirement for Game Preview games with this game. The whole point of requiring a trial was because the games were buggy and unfinished, without it what's the difference to it being a normal game? Feel they've done this to get more sales and it isn't fair to all the other Game Preview devs that have to have trials. Microsoft shouldn't be doing this.
Totally agree. Bending the rules will make other devs think your "rules" are a joke if you don't enforce them yourselves

I definitely get that it's early access but they didn't have to release it this rough. Needs more time on the oven to be more than playable.

Not sure it's worthwhile yet. I will say that the menus and inventory work well even with a controller.

Well I'm loving it. It's definitely a little rough, but after I got used to the controls and recoil, I don't have as much of an issue with the tech. Performance.

I wonder how much better the desert map will run after seeing the big performance jump on PC. Let's hope The Coalition keep after it.

Ya but Minecraft ran pretty great when it came out. Not saying pubg is bad becuase I'm so fucking pumped to play it it's not even funny, but if a game triple AAA publisher makes a game like this it will do gang busters. Also they will becuase the Shooter market is to big to ignore unlike well really not niche but only one game broke out in the building sim.

Minecraft?? The PC version ran java. Ya, it was stable or fast on all machines at all at first.

Can you reset you character without playing a shit ton? The game wasn't loading faces so I thought you hit A and it created the character for me. A character I hate

All day? I was lucky to finally get my code redeemed about 3 hours after purchasing. This was after waiting 2 hours for a confirmation / download link, then another hour for the link to actually start working.
Yep ordered around 10am ET got the email from PayPal and that was it. Like I said in another post others are in the same boat and CDKeys have yet to say anything.

Just watched about 20 minutes of a livestream on the base Xbox One, performance looks sub-20 FPS in the waiting area and plane sequence but it looks like it stabilizes and hovers over the 25 FPS mark in actual gameplay. Visuals don't look too hot but I wasn't expecting much on that front.

Looks playable though, that's what counts.
