First UE5 game runs at 720p on consoles.

[MeachTheMonster]

Top of the line was the wrong wording, but we see how fast PC’s evolved over the course of the last 3 years. another 3 years it will be even better, i dont think it makes sense to expect console manufacturers not try to keep their hardware somewhat up to date also

Thats the problem with setting expectations for the entire generation around some tech demos with no real gameplay mechanics baked in. It creates a false pretense early on, and this always happens. There are so many notorious tech demo’s the consoles never live up to, the first quantic dream tech demo, FF7, Zelda for GameCube, etc.

The games don’t even look better.

If this game had some crazy amount of detail or lighting to justify the 720p that would be one thing.

But just telling us this is new technology but it looks/runs like shyt ain’t gone be enough.

GTAV ran on Xbox 360 at the same resolution.

We got a long way to go to get to this gens GTAV

New hardware would give these shytty 3rd party games more head room for brute forcing better optimization. For first party studios they could do a lot more

Maybe these UE5 games will manage to run at a 1440p resolution, or better if it actually includes DLSS

Don’t nobody want brute force. That’s what they getting on PC for $3000.

The reason why it's 720p is because it has all of this @60fps.

To the eye it doesn’t.

I understand they are using new techniques. But just looking at it, it doesn’t look much better. Definitely not worth the sacrifices made to get there.

He was ahead of his time.

Still not convinced these consoles are all that more powerful than last gen. From day one this shyt was not impressive.

Being one of the first UE5 games was their only selling point, so they said fukk it and just went all in even though it didn't make sense to based on the hardware they were targeting. So instead of selling off being a graphical showcase, the resolution and image quality is so bad they negated all the benefits of being a Ue5 game.

They mismanaged this shyt completely.

 

[Why-Fi]

told yall they rushed these joints to retail, and bet too much on tech thats not time tested, proven, and reliable. the amount of cross gen games we have should tell you this gen simply wasnt ready

thats why i laugh my butt off when people trash the nintendo switch. yea that shyt is old tech but its tech thats already tried and true. still dropping the biggest and best exclusives on the strength of that

yall are gonna see. this joint being 720p, starfield being 30 fps...these handicaps will be their saving grace because its the content that matters. im glad theyre being humbled and forced to focus on the content. fukk the spec race

A bunch of these games started development around 2018/2019 during the PS4/XB1 era so they carry the stench of last gen on them.


There’s even several games STILL coming out for the PS4 next year.

I haven’t seen 480p since like the 6th or 7th grade on those big booty monitors they had in the computer lab

The Series S is a disaster

"big booty monitor" always gets a chuckle out of me; I'm immature as fukk


That's all I have to contribute to this conversation.

We called the "phat backs" I had a stock on like 4 that I gave to the smash crew years ago since they need them for that game.
