So to summarize
720p@30 fps with dips on console (bodes really great for performance on pc doesn't it?)
UWA windows store exclusive locked to windows 10 and locked at 30 fps too with promises to do better later?
If that's how Microsoft wants to force me to upgrade from windows 8.1 they need reality check

I don't get why all the people here saying they are now getting this on PC wouldn't have done so in the first place? If your PC is capable, it's obviously going to be the better place to play.

For cool points
What? PC is up to 4k/60fps
Same here, only those stylized time shiftinh effects looks great but overall quite bad. They game always look look blurry and muddy, I was surprised when they said it was suppose to run 1080p. Preview from a couple of weeks ago showed some super low quality volumatric light and terrible shadow draw distance. Game looks interesting enough that i want to play.

720p is incredibly disappointing for a current gen title in 2016. I will still be buying the game though as I love Remedy's games.
If anything, this just 'illustrates' how necessary an Xbox One.5 is for Microsoft to improve their 'image' (ok I'll stop) and regain some market share. The initial concept/specs of the pre-launch, always online/cloud, Kinnected Xbox is crippling them and they desperately need a machine that reflects their new game plan to stay competitive.

60? That would be disappointing. Games should never be locked on PC. 90-144hz are a thing :/
It looks good but I've never been blown away either like I said many times on different topics but that's not really because of the resolution but most likely the art style choose for the game itself, it's a Remedy game so it should be great but I'm not really sure about the TV stuff, we'll see...

UWAs support gsync. It's total nonsense that they don't. They do. Rise of the Tomb Raider sure does. I haven't played Gears, but the developers said it does, albeit it the first release had some issue with cutscenes and gsync (but not gameplay).
I'm getting tired of shooting down that misconception.
This will support gsync. Absolutely. 100%.

I seem to remember them also saying that Alan wake was 720p so I'm surprised by this turn of events.
Alan Wake was below the 360 standards and you managed to like it.

Yep, that's is why this whole debacle feels weird.

This either is the best use of film grain effect I've ever seen, or this game is way above 720p.

Many people think Alan Wake is one of the best looking games on 360 inspite of it's resolution. You may not feel that way, but it isn't really a fact that it was somehow below 360 standards. I appreciate you're excited about the game either way, though.

I did something I hardly ever do and I just canceled my retail preorder of the game (I prefer physical) and went with the digital version. Sole reason being is to get that Windows 10 copy.
While my current rig would not handle the game all that well, the rig I am building to support Oculus will. This way I do get to also get to experience the game with higher technical specifications. Win Win.

I was not the only one to post that the game looked quite blurry in the preiew thread. Some effects are greatly implemented, but the picture quality -and the animations- is (are) pretty mediocre...

They have already sent review codes to magazines.
The game went gold a month ago and MS sent review codes. It's very unlikely that it's not the final res.
But eh, nothing is impossible so i guess we'll know very soon.

There's no guarantee the version they evaluated from that event is the same as the final release sent to reviewers

Didn't know we're still in 2006...
Heaven forbid that some simply want the best balance of looks alongside a game that will play well on a console that was outdated at launch.
Not everyone is in the same group but yeah, there are definitely some that wouldn't know a game's resolution unless they are told it.
we sure this isnt another "but the xbox outputs ALL games in 1080p" regardless if the game is rendered in 720?
This thread is a discussion about the Digital Foundry hands-on of Quantum Break. The copy of Quantum Break that they're testing appears to be running at a resolution of 720p. Quantum Break "went gold" on February 19th, one month ago.
It stands to reason that Digital Foundry has been testing the release version.

That's what I was thinking. Set it to 640 x 480 I'll still be in day one. The lighting and wind effects in Alan wake were amazing. I understood why it was the result it was. I'm sure there is a reason this is 720p. And not just the weak Xbox one
This is what I think. It's just the scaler again
Digital Foundry states right at the beginning of this video that the build they were playing was labeled as final code.

The game looks good to me on Xbox One so that's all that matters to me. I don't think it will run natively at 720p. There is always the PC version which is being offered free with Xbox One anyways, since I pre-ordered it digitally.

Nothing to get over as I was never going to buy it. Just an observation.

Fuck me, one year later and we're still seeing half of a thread arguing semantics about The Order's resolution... and this isn't even an Order thread!
The posts implying Quantum Break's engine might be "bloated"... come the fucking on. Have you seen what the game's actually doing?
I'm more concerned about the game itself than its XB1 resolution (which to be fair doesn't affect me in the slightest) or imaginary engine bloat. Animations look off, AI still looks dumb, and the powers look like superfluous tools outside the puzzle/traversal sections because the game just looks so damn easy, like you're using them because they're there and they're supposed to be the point of the game, but you don't seem to need them. We've seen videos of people playing it on hard like they've never touched a gamepad before and Jack just seems to soak up tons of bullets before we reach strawberry vision.
Level design also looks bland. We've mostly seen one-level, rectangular arenas with standard TPS cover and the odd pillar here and there. I realize that the amount of fighting done indoors, in buldings with realistic architecture, is likely the main culprit, but still... It just looks okay to play, but not great.

UWP concerns?

Alan wake had awful tearing and sub 720p still one of my favourite games ever made. You will be fine with Qb if the game warrants it
Wait for the ot

Could've sworn I read it was 1080p...
On a side note, Alan Wake did indeed look gorgeous despite the sub-HD resolution.

I remember a french site (gamekult) who attended the same event and said QB looked blurry. (And they got ton of shit in their forums because of it).
People can definitely tell if a game is crisp or not. It might not translate into resolution numbers for them, but they can actually see the difference.

Gsync is fucked up without Exclusive Fullscreen. I don't know how long you've been shooting down that "misconception," but unless UWP has been updated to support Exclusive Fullscreen, and the devs have already updated their games to take advantage of it, adaptive vsync is still very much borked on UWA.
*insert Aaron Greenberg's everything is 1080p quote*

This was unexpected.... Oh well it is what it is. Not the worse thing in the world. But I'll still play it.
Maybe the rendering resolution is 1080p but the most of the assets are rendered at anywhere from 720p to 1080p.

Either way, I'm making an exception for this one. Like many have mentioned already, Alan Wake looked amazing on 360 and its resolution was a pathetic 544p. Remedy seems to be doing the same magic here.

I don't care at what resolution it runs.
The real problem is why are there no bullet casings falling to the ground? After the max payne games how can Remedy omit such an important detail
