I have a great TV, the game it's self is what's not looking so good. Believe me I have plenty of games that look great but this is a 900p game that came out in 2013, it's not going to hold up well on a 4K tv compared to something that came out in the last few years and runs at a much higher native resolution and is probably using improved tools and enhanced techniques over what was available back when this game was made. I still think some of you are basing your thoughts on what you felt when this game came out vs how it looks compared to newer games today.

I haven't played it recently. I may have to get it and see how it looks upscaled.

It was only $10 the other day that's the only reason I bought it and I've only played a few chapters so far so my impressions are based only on up to the point of the beach raid section. I can see why people would have been impressed at launch compared to last gen games or even X1 exclusive launch games but we've had so many better looking games that are not only larger in scale but also run at higher resolutions that it just doesn't stand out today IMO.

Might be something wrong with TV.
I suggest you unplug your TV from the power outlet for 34 seconds then replug it and see if issue is solved. Good luck!

He's not wrong in that it has lost it's luster because we have been exposed to a bevy of titles that are more complex and at least as visually impressive. The 900p resolution doesn't look that great on a 4k TV. That said, it still incorporates rendering techniques that rival the best lookers today, imo.

I played Ryse on my Xbox One S (up-scaled on my 4K TV) in February of last year, and based on my experience it is easily in the top 10 for lookers. I think that has a lot to do with being so linear. I have not played it on my Xbox One X. "IMO"

The resolution really does take a lot of punch out of the visuals. I'm waaay too used to playing at higher resolutions now for it not to look blurry. Try it on the X, man. Especially after playing something like Ass Creed Origins or Far Cry 5. Resolution increases also add color depth and all by itself can massively elevate a games existing graphics. I think if they released a 4k patch for it, it would be right back near the top.

LOL Nothing wrong with the TV, it's the game, it's not a bad looking game but it's also not top tier anymore either.

If TV is great model, I think you can't go wrong with at least trying to fix the problem you're experiencing. Unplug and get back to us, good luck!

Microsoft reportedly gearing up to join Movies Anywhere

It appears Microsoft is close to hopping on board the Movies Anywhere bandwagon.

In late 2017, Disney relaunched its Movies Anywhere service with a greatly expanded scope, bringing on several other major studios and allowing users to watch their movie purchases across Google Play, iTunes, Amazon, and Vudu no matter where they were originally purchased. At launch, Microsoft wasn't in on the program, despite having been a part of the service's previous incarnation. However, it looks like all of that is about to change soon, adding Microsoft's Movies & TV to the list of partners.

Twitter user WalkingCat, who has been a reliable source for numerous Microsoft-related leaks in the past, has posted what looks to be a new introduction video for Movies Anywhere. The curious part for Microsoft followers, however, is that Movies & TV is listed as one of the partner services during a portion of the video.

As noted by Neowin, the video looks to be an updated version of the introduction video posted on the official Movies Anywhere Youtube channel.


Microsoft has been said to be in talks about joining Movies Anywhere since at least March, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the company join the service soon. Combined with word that Microsoft is also working on bringing Movies & TV to Android and iOS, this would be a big boon for users of Microsoft's devices and services.

Interesting. Been trying to come up with theories with how this tech could work as well at Netflix despite latency and frequently throttled internet. My new guess is that the local hardware packs a lot of pre-processed info into memory. Local hardware processes inputs and decides what to display.

I really want Microsoft to crack this. If they can, it means a mid gen refresh or any hardware upgrade could come without additional hardware expense.
