That's not true at all. Look at any of the latest preview threads. A lot of us have noticed the visuals not looking as impressive as they used too
What the hell at that animation/shooting right at the beginning. It looks like there literally isn't any animation for aiming, he just snaps up into shooting position instantly. Dude is crouched facing left, then immediately snaps his body 180 degrees so he's facing right and aiming. Then he's up against that pillar aim around the left side of it, but the character is still aiming with his body facing right, and he shoots straight through the pillar. That stuff doesn't look great.

I recently played gears 3 again, and was still impressed on what that did on the system. Compare that to what those milky videos show of QB from a few weeks ago, and you would be hard pressed to think it wasn't running on 360. I'm not tying to stir shit, but I'm getting it on pc. I can't stand the milky filter that's on display in the xbone videos. Hopefully it goes away with the higher resolution on pc.

This just proves that resolution isn't as vital as everyone thinks. Quantum Break is the most impressive looking game I've seen on the Xbox One so far. It's combination of effects, gameplay and overall level of detail really put it way up there for me.

This bothers me so much more than the resolution.

The game play looks kind of dull in general. Flashy but lacking the kind of on the fly planning and strategy of max Payne.What the hell at that animation/shooting right at the beginning.

Should have added a shoot dodge. Cover is not as fun as shoot dodge.
Look a couple of pages back. 6 months ago there was also 720p debate.
"While speaking with Eurogamer Italy, representatives from Remedy Entertainment fully debunked the inflammatory graphics rumors. Rather than a 720p output, "Quantum Break" will reportedly run at 1080p with a 30 fps limit."

The game looks solid despite lower resolution. This shouldn't be a problem if Microsoft/ Remedy revealed it before. Clarity has been biggest issue with Xbox this gem. Nonetheless quantum break will be a good game. I hope it sells well.

Exlains the requirements.
Just want to know if recommended is 30 or 60fps, assuming it's for 1080p

I agree. It looks absolutely amazing in motion. It has flaws, but I think it's the best looking game on Xbox One.
Wtf is that !!!!

Giving me those max payne vibes. kind of reminds me of uncharted 1 corner exploiting.
Presumably they've been showing the PC version.
Whenever there's a multi platform game, it's safe to assume it's the PC version being shown.

It's from SIGGRAPH 2015 (Aug. 2015) when PC version "didn't exist".
Nah. If I remember right they've said several times it's the Xbox ver.

You have clearly, clearly not watched enough footage of this game in action. It smokes Max Payne in every regard pertaining to planning and strategy. It takes Max Payne's formula and makes it so much better many times over. There's way more depth and strategy involved based on early footage I've watched, and I've watched a ton of it.
That animation was suppose to switch to show shooting from left side, but it glitched out, right? Right?What the hell at that animation/shooting right at the beginning.

A PC version wasnt even announced back then.

Sounds like when they say the final image is 1080p, that could be because of the scaler? Every final image on XB1 is 1080p, despite the naive game resolution...
It's still a weird comment to makefif the game is really naive 720p..

They also said it's 1080p so...

It bothers me that he shoots through the wall. I like it when bullets actually originate from the barrel and not the camera.
Game still looks great. It always looked soft to me (even from the first reveal), but I always chalked it up to YouTube compression and post processing out the wazoo. It wouldn't surprise me if the game really is running at 1280x720. I'm curious how it would look on my TV though, and just how soft it would look in person.

Nope, they've confirmed that some of the best footage available for the game was the xbox one version. Also, people that have play tested have confirmed they played on xbox one. And what's annoying about people focusing on that silly gif up there is that there are so, so many more gameplay vids and gifs that showcase things looking way better than that. We're ignoring the whole .

Gonna be great to read the comments on those that won't play thequipment game due to the rest. Alan wake was 540p and got shat on. Years later people still love it. Won't be missing out on a good game due to its resolution

This is not true though. Videogames are an input driven audiovisual form of entertainment. The visuals are always a big part of the equation, especially in a game that aspires to be a cinematic story driven one. Being 720p means the overall experience is somewhat compromised in comparison to if the game were to run at a higher resolution.
Standards and expectations have changed over time. If we are going to sit here and say that graphics aren't an important part of what makes up the overall experience then new consoles wouldn't come out, new graphics cards wouldn't come out and the whole industry would be stagnant from a graphics technology standpoint.
A flagship title being 720p/30fps in 2016 is far below expectations.
That was not the point. All the footage shown was on Xbox One. They confirmed it many times. Even on this site. We havent seen any pc footage yet.

The footage isn't really playing the game correctly, like at all. Playing it as a cover shooter is the worst way in the game and doesn't do the mechanics justice.
