Why? There was nothing wrong on the presentation front. The issues were decision making, messaging, under delivering. Same as the last 5 E3s then.
No, nothing wrong with premiering next-gen 4K/60 and 4K/120 games at 30fps. OK...
I agree with everything except for the framerate. The game runs 4K/120. I don't care if that's just a MODE. They showed it at 30fps, all of it. This is a dumb move.Dirt is confirmed to have a 120fps option it's not just that by default, clearly it's going to sacrifice visuals to get there and that's totally fine, PC players that brag about framerates often leave out that most of them have to cut back on visual features and resolution to get it.
Honestly the framerate had nothing to do with it the way the show was perceived, most people were mad because we barely saw any gameplay yet this was made to sound as if it was going to show us what XSX was going to be capable of. It was just a poor choice on MS's part to not only rush this stuff out a month earlier than it normally would have been but to also choose to showcase games made by mostly small studios. That game "Medium" a few of the guys here are impressed with only showed about 8 seconds of gameplay and it was all cut up so you couldn't focus on anything for too long, all she was doing was walking or in one scene running by herself, nothing else was happening and honestly it didn't really look much better than what we have now, hell it still had s***ty white toothpicks for rain
I have no doubt the console is capable of much more than this, the event was just ill conceived from the beginning, I'm sure they'll learn and do a better job next time. Hopefully the whole industry learns from this and stops advertising "gameplay trailers" that only show gameplay for about 10% of the trailers length, most companies do this and it needs to stop.
One thing the should of done was slow down some of the editing. They were chopped with an exceedingly fast pace. Still though, we saw gameplay and what we saw looked amazing. Games for next gen just feel different from any other gen I can remember. They felt like movies IMO.
Yeah, not disagreeing with that part at all.
People expect them to deliver what they promise. Something they haven''t managed to do for a long time now. It is bulls*** PR with them, they are turning into EA.
I don't think they are being purposefully deceptive. I just thing they are disconnected, and lack a singular vision. I know these are tough times with COVID, but let's be fair. Zoom (or Teams, in their case) the F out of it right now, and get in the same page! One message, Microsoft!!! One message...
It is purposely deceptive. Gamers ask for gameplay. Xbox makes hypes up they are giving us gameplay. Show end ends with very little gameplay, none of which is presented as gameplay.
No, Dirt 5 will run in 4K @ 120fps. I didn't know that until I watched the Colt Eastwood video that I already posted. Edit: looking for clarification elsewhere on that.
I don't know why he would purposefully want to upset gamers, but I'm not buying that at all because it defies logic. I'm sticking with incompetent on messaging. Phil seems too genuine to me to be the purposefully deceptive type, anyway. Like I said, it would actually defy logic to do so... But you can keep all your spite. If he were a different person in interviews, I might understand.
No, Dirt 5 will run in 4K @ 120fps. I didn't know that until I watched the Colt Eastwood video that I already posted. Also here:
Yeah, I actually just changed the source for the 1 min that you quoted me after realizing my original link was a message board posting, but yeah, I heard it on that video, so maybe he misspoke.
Yeah, 4K/120Hz seemed too good to be true. I wouldn't exactly expect Codemasters to push a launch game that hard, either.
That's actually a pretty valid point, too.
