Is it possible this game is 60 fps on X?

Here's hoping.

I am positive playing RDR on 360 way back I could count the number of frame sometimes. Stand in town and a wagon of bandits comes zipping down main street and the game must have tanked to 10 fps. Great fun trying to shoot them. lol

i would be ecstatic at a solid 30fps at 1800p or 4k
 
I just hope multiplayer isn't a microtransaction filled pile of horse manure. I hate manure.

Yep, don't mind 30 at all as long as it's stable. I always pick the res modes over the framerate modes.

The only time I didn't was Shadow of War but that's because the graphical enhancements mode offered a nice dynamic res increase over 1080p and added other graphical details while pushing LOD out quite a bit. Sadly even in that mode the game isn't much of a looker but I liked the option.

I ended up picking the resolution mode over the Graphic mode because the clarity had a bigger impact than graphical boost on SoW, imo. Yeah, if you stare, you can tell that there is a bit more geometric detail, but the resolution is immediately apparent. it just feels to "blurry" (in comparison) otherwise, and It's really hard to tell what changes in the graphical settings.

The LOD pop in is improved quite a bit over the resolution mode plus often times you are still getting a fairly high resolution.

Not that was overtly noticable, imo. But that It may be more pronounced now that I reached an area with higher foliage levels. I'll check it out tonight.

My biggest wish with next gen is LOD is pushed out much further and also that they do something about clipping, it's sad when a game that looks as good as AC Origins has animals fighting and they just go right through each other.

Yeah, Collision has always been on my wishlist. I wan't everything to interact like they do in the UFC games. Those are impressive.

I've said it before, but I'm glad we are getting the 4k thing out of the way so the next set of gains can be something other than IQ, which can be awesome as a standard. I'm pretty hooked on it. Now, we just need to find the bastard that's going to push for 8k, find him, and pull out his tongue with hot tongs....

not having microtransactions would literally be throwing away money... after the success of GTA5

i am worried about this game tbh, success of GTA5 online makes me fear the attention will go to MP rather then epic SP content

DLC story, yes. I don't expect that. R* would likely rather give you a $15 jetpack and mounted laser cannon for your horse than an extra couple hours of meaningful plot for the same price.

It's still variable resolution but it's always better than 1080p so to me it's worth it, if it were a better looking game overall I may feel differently about the resolution mode but even at 4K it's not really a looker. It looks like an early in the gen game dressed up the best they could with outdated tech IMO.

Can still look great at times.

Not sure if this is the right thread still or not but there was an interesting leak about RDR2 on reddit the other day. Sounds like there will be a first person mode, so thats kinda cool for people who like it (personally I prefer the 3rd person for Rockstar games). There are things like horsemanship challenges & such and challenges for things like hitting a target from 100m with the bow. Lots of other details, including a Battle Royale MP mode, cause it's 'so hot right now' I guess...

If you catch it at the right angle with the right light you can get a nice looking shot, move the camera a few feet and it all comes back down to earth lol. I just hate how the sky is static and nothing seems dynamic, it's so old fashioned for an open world game.
 
Not that I was ever NOT going to buy it, but as soon as I saw there was a bow & arrow in this game it was a done deal for me. LOVES me some bow & arrow. I just hope R* San Diego put euphoria to better use than North did in GTAV...

I just noticed that we've been talking about the graphics vs resolution mode, and that we pick those over the performance mode, lol, which was the crux of my original post. That basically, as long as it's a stable 30fps, for most games, I'll take graphics upgrades... Just thought that was interesting. 60fps is essential for some games, but 30 is still plenty acceptable if I can get a graphics boost. Shadow of War (and Mordor) is a timing based fighting game as well, so it certainly can be done.

I concur. I am playing through Shadow of the Collossus right now in resolution mode. The FPS are still smooth as butter. So far.

Being that most performance modes don't seem to actually hit 60fps when there is anything going on I just skip them, it's nice to have the option for others who want them. But yeah I picked the graphics over the resolution because you still get a res increase over 1080p along with graphical improvements vs just going straight 4K with other things toned down, that game needs all the help it can get graphically lol.
 
Looks like Read Dead is making COD worried, making them change their traditional release date:

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4' Is Scared Of 'Red Dead Redemption 2'
https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikka...scared-of-red-dead-redemption-2/#17977fb76e35

In a surprise Twitch stream today, Activision and Treyarch revealed that the next Call of Duty game will indeed be Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4.

As rumors and leaks suggested, the game is actually Black Ops IIII, apparently using a tally system rather than the more conventional Roman numeral, IV. There's virtually no other information on this at this time other than we now know that a full reveal is coming May 17th.

What's more interesting is Black Ops 4's launch date: October 12th. This is the first time since Call of Duty 2 that a game in the franchise has released in October. Both it and the very first Call of Duty launched in October, but every game since then has released in early November. And those two games came out in late October.

So why is Treyarch releasing Call Of Duty: Black Ops IIII on October 12th, a month earlier than virtually every other game in the series? I have a nagging suspicion that it has to do with Rockstar's mega-release of Red Dead Redemption 2 on October 26th.

Grand Theft Auto V was the fastest-selling video game of all time, and has gone on to sell over 90 million copies. To give you some perspective here, within three days of its release, GTA V had topped $1 billion in sales. We've spent the past several weeks talking about how Black Panther is one of the biggest superhero movies of all time, and it still hasn't crossed $1 billion at the global box office. Right now it stands at a cumulative global box office of $932 million after hitting theaters three weeks ago. GTA V beat that in three days, nearly five years ago.

Red Dead Redemption 2 probably won't be quite the juggernaut that GTA V was but it's still bound to be a huge release. If Activision released Black Ops IIII in the first week of November, it would fall directly in the wake of Rockstar's beast. Perhaps just as importantly, it's very likely that EA's Battlefield game---WWII themed Battlefield V---will launch in late October. Battlefield 1 launched on October 21st, 2016. Battlefield 4 came out on October 29th, 2013. It's entirely possible that EA will also move up that release due to Rockstar's domination at the end of the month, but now early October is a much less appealing window.


With an October 12th release date, Activision and Treyarch can get the jump on both Red Dead Redemption 2 and Battlefield V, entering into the holiday season out front rather than in the tailwinds of its biggest competitors. It also gives the game more time to rack up sales prior to the end of the year. While Call of Duty is almost always the best-selling game of the year, that's far from certain in 2018 thanks to RDR2. With an extra month of sales, Activision might tilt the scales.

Whatever the reasons, this definitely seems like a smart move.

Make sense to me. RDR2 is gonna be huge. I have a feeling the X1X version is gonna be amazeballs. There will be a year under the belt minimum on programming for the X1X, so I think we should see some solid performance/graphics options. I have to believe the game is gonna be pretty big, and then add the 4K textures, I could see this being another 100gb game after all is said and done. I assume most of us are getting it on the X1X?
 
As long as the X1X drops to $299 before then and it looks significantly better, then I'll get it for that. Otherwise, I'll just stick with the PS4P.
