You don’t need the HUD at all. I turned it on just to see the difference and it’s quite something. In Exploration mode you can still use the eagle to highlight things and still markers when you get close to them. I’m the map you can still most things as well. It’s just removed from the main gameplay screen. I hope they keep this idea for future games. It’s excellent.
Do you have a good 4K HDR tv? If not I'd just wait till next gen but you're gonna want a new tv stat.
Yes sir, but I still refuse to upgrade to the X1X. Maybe if I could get one under $300 I'd pull the trigger.
Do you have a Pro?
F**k me this plays like DLC to Origins......which is no bad thing....the RPG dialogue tree is a joke....No branch in story line I can see....looks wise Origins looks way better on the X
Yes sir. I already bought this today, I just haven't gotten around to caring enough to open/install it.
It'll look plenty good on the Pro.
That's good to hear. I was concerned that "Explorer Mode" would turn out to be weakly implemented, but it sounds like they did a good job of it.
Any comments on this, though?
"The game does indeed allow you to work things out on your own, but that's only to a point. Once you're confident that you've found the right place, you'll receive confirmation of that because a popup will appear telling you that Ikaros, your eagle that allows you to highlight objects and locations in the environment, can now be used to find the exact location of your objective. After all the work you've done to just find the general area of your goal, it feels like this mechanic works in complete contrast to what exploration mode is going for. It's not like this option becomes available once you're right on top of the target either, because the popup appears once you're within range of about 200 metres. It feels like cheating in a mode that promotes the idea of going it alone. Sure, you could just ignore this option and continue to search on your own, but the fact that it even exists breaks the immersion almost completely."

I am reading it's a drop in quality from Origins.
I both agree and disagree with that. I think they tried to implement a new idea, and that works great, but they also did some hand holding on the mechanics to help players adjust.
I’ve payed the new mode from the start and I absolutely love it but equally it hasn’t left that it’s been challenging. It has improved my enjoyment of the game significantly though that’s a great.
Not a chance. It’s better than Orgins in nearly every way save for the fact it wouldn’t be as good if it didn’t have Origins to support its base.
Here's the DF analysis for the base consoles, if anyone's still stuck using those.
PS4: 1600x900 -> 1920x1080
Xbox One: 1344x756 -> 1600x900
X1 has longer loading times and worse framerate.
He seems to think that he HAS to use the eagle option, just because there is a prompt for it. I wonder, is there a way to turn that prompt off? That would make it easier to forget the option. And do you know, can you find your way to the objective without the eagle spotting for you?

You don’t need to use the eagle. But you do get prompted for it when you get close to an objective. I don’t think you turn that off. Honestly with exploration mode being so immersive when you get prompted for the eagle it just flows in naturally with the game play. But you can find objectives without using it. When you activate a quest you get some bullet points on the top right of the screen explaining how to find it. And detail of those descriptions depends on the questions you asked the quest giver.
Graphics are amazing. My only complaint is I’m not a big fan of the weapons.
Yes sir. I had no issues with how origins looked last year on the Pro.
