    Meanwhile everyone moans about how "underpowered" this gen is, great devs like the coalition have put in the effort to optimise the game along with a good PC version.

    • @ethansequeira2431
      @ethansequeira2431 Před 7 lety +24

      ikr.. I feel like if devs spend a bit more time delivering polished titles, they'll receive much better reactions and sales

    • @GermanLehmann98
      @GermanLehmann98 Před 7 lety +28

      It is underpowered, its pretty obvious that exclusives like Uncharted or GoW will play like a dream on consoles but just imagine how they would look if consoles had better hardware

    • @ethansequeira2431
      @ethansequeira2431 Před 7 lety +41

      German Lehmann I feel like people judge a game too much on its graphics. The games are realistic enough already tbh. I feel devs should spend more time making a fun game

    • @GermanLehmann98
      @GermanLehmann98 Před 7 lety +3

      Ethan Sequeira I agree, but we aren't talking about quality in a game, we are talking about hardware, yes devs should focus more on the fun factor but that doesn't change the fact this gen was under-powered

    • @Edmundostudios
      @Edmundostudios Před 7 lety +13

      German Lehmann The game looks great on Xbox One and if you want the graphics a bit nicer get it on PC, if anything this shows the potential UE4 has on PS4 and X1.
      What exactly is your solution? Realistically MS cannot release new hardware every year while maintaining relations with devs and consumers.

  • @AFryingPan
    @AFryingPan Před 7 lety +120

    I like how gamespot gave the game a lower score because of performance issues. Even when digital foundry completely praises the technical performance of the game

    • @dark1x
      @dark1x Před 7 lety +31

      I'm genuinely wondering if there's something wrong with certain Xbox consoles. I captured the first four acts of the game (80% of the game) on normal difficulty and ran through the analysis tool. It was completely stable throughout. I have genuine proof, so it's clearly possible to run completely smoothly, but I know some other users have run into performance problems at certain points. I was never able to reproduce it and I've now played through most of the game twice on Xbox One. It's a very curious thing.

    • @VideoGameChimp5
      @VideoGameChimp5 Před 7 lety +1

      A Frying Pan the performance issues are mainly multiplayer tbh

      My xbone has been running pretty badly since the windows update, I get randomly signed out or sent to the dashboard and have to sign in 3 times sometimes, due to random error messages. Lastly I cant enter the store for the life of me (also due to error messages) I remember Snoop Dog being in the news bitching about Xbox live about the same time my problems started, so I know its not just me.

  • @khushnoodadilrafique4792
    @khushnoodadilrafique4792 Před 7 lety +235

    Even if this game is cracked and served to me for free, I'd choose to buy it merely for the amount of love and care the devs showed for the pc community.

    • @Bang4BuckPCGamer
      @Bang4BuckPCGamer Před 7 lety +5

      UWP removes any reasonable possibility of modding, though.
      And the particles update at 30fps, remember Bioshock 30fps physics? That kind of thing belongs in the previous decade.

    • @Alcatraz760
      @Alcatraz760 Před 7 lety +3

      I thought Bioshock's was less, it felt like 15 fps.

    I'm in total disbelief. Gears of War 4 is giving me 120+ FPS at 2K Ultra with my GTX 1080 while playing 5 person Horde mode. 120+ FPS in a game that looks this good is impossible. How did they get a Windows Store game running so insanely smooth and why didn't they do this with the other games.

      It true. The coalition have done such a great job. And with play anywhere it doesn't matter when you buy the game. You can literally buy it now and play it on pc and then play it on the Scorpio when that releases next year!

    • @sotohc96
      @sotohc96 Před 7 lety +1

      This is how Sony/MS and their $300 consoles make revenue. Not from hardware sales, but from selling completely overpriced games. and of course the online fee. 3 of those $100 "ultimate edition" games, and you payed as much money for games as for the hardware. It's ridiculous.

    • @nichamahamek3590
      @nichamahamek3590 Před 7 lety +2

      yeah me to my Xbox PlayStation and nintendo collection is huge probably 1200 games also I have bunch on steam to cause it's cheap but I'm not that good with mouse and keyboard always preferred a remote even though u can connect it to a PC I hate when people say no but it doesn't assist u much at all on PC and started my retro collection I just love physical and I like achievements a lot and trophy's idk I find achievements more fun then the games I play sometimes ha

    The Coalition has jumped up in ranks with this one. Digital Foundry is baffled on how good this came out to be for the Xbox One and PC. Digital Foundry is rarely impressed on the its technical analysis but they have now at least three videos on this game alone. I will be downloading tonight to Xbox and thank gawd that I can switch over to my PC if need the extra umfff.

      @zybch Před 7 lety +14

      But they didn't even do that. ALL the praise went to the UE4 engine. DF are simply incapable of being unbiased when it comes to anything non-sony.
      BTW The Coalition is a microsoft owned studio in the same way that Naughty Dog is by sony. Essentially, both are not much more than external departments of their parent companies.

    • @asderr77
      @asderr77 Před 7 lety

      Mike Caddick You both have and don't have a point. If it wasn't UE4 the game wouldn't have looked the same, but if the devs were shitty the game wouldn't have been what it is now.

    • @zybch
      @zybch Před 7 lety +2

      HellFire in the same way we could look at how well Recore looks and runs even though for some reason Unity was chosen for the engine. Compare it to virtually every other Unity based game out there and it blows them out of the water. Even graphically simplistic titles like Firewatch run like crap on it, but Recore (by Concept and Armature) knocks it out of the park. Unless you're told it's Unity you'd never know.

If you don't believe me,look up tech videos on how its done.

    • @BaneDane_JB
      @BaneDane_JB Před 7 lety +2

      Destiny did have that budget, (GTA 5 also had such a budget) but you have to remember those games are lot larger in scale, and you do have to spend just as much time texturing the entire world, as Gears does its linear campaign and maps. (im not hating on Gears its my favorite shooter, im just saying) Meaning you get a lot worse graphics because the "budget on texturing wasnt as condensed" if that makes any sense.

    Xbox One's Highlight of 2016. Holy shit we thought Quantum Break would be in that position. Oh how the mighty fall. QB is still fantastic though and (forgive me god) it has the best graphics on any platform this year. Still, gears of war 4 is damn good.

    Even with MIcrosoft STORE issues/headaches its great that this and FH3 have been available on PC, do look forward to the cross play on this fully working with XB1 consoles which is just another bonus for Xbox compared to Sony PS4. Sony may have their PRO console coming but right now fans of Xbox/Microsoft just got two major franchises appearing on PC where they can already be enjoyed beyond what the Scorpio will offer in the next year. This is one thing Sony cant compete with.

      No reason to by an XB1 *IF you already have a gaming PC. Even a lower mid range one. I recently sold my XB1 because I have no reason to keep it when I can play all it's games on my PC and have a better experience.

      jugulator95 wish they simply had a longer campaign that actually answered questions from halo 4 and made sense (and of course splitscreen and lack of modes that should have come at launch) only improvement I would acknowledge would be multiplayer, which I have admittedly enjoyed the most in halo 5 out of all of them.

    • @zybch
      @zybch Před 7 lety +7

      Its something any on-line vid simply can't get across.
      There is a difference that is immediately noticeable when you turn it off, sort of in the same way as when you turn off the surround audio channels in your home theater. With a good setup you shouldn't really be aware of the surround speaker's presence, but turn them off and its IMMEDIATELY noticeable in a bad way.
      PCs with appropriate video cards and capable screen can do HDR, but its not really done much yet as its much harder for a development team to do over the wide range of hardware combinations on PC rather than the set target of console.

    This PC port is extremely well done, huge kudos to MS and Coalition. Now we just need MS to add it on Steam for the huge player base. Granted I will buy it on UWP and maybe more will be tempted to follow suit with this title. I am just scared the PC audience could die out a little fast. I guess we will have to wait and see.
    With this and Forza H3 both being ported pretty well maybe more will give UWP a chance. Knowing the PC community stubbornness though, doesn't seem likely. Excited to see the dedication Microsoft will be showing to the PC community regardless. I hope to see Crackdown 3 running as well as Gears 4 if it releases to PC.

    How is this being compared to Uncharted 4? Despite both being third-person cover shooters, theyre completely different games. UC is about a dude who loves adventure and treasure, GOW is about a dude trying to save humanity from aliens. Everything about these games are different, their characters, setting, story, even though theyre both TPCS their gameplays feel extremely different. Makes more sense to compare UC to Tomb Raider and GOW to idk anything but UC lol.

      There's a huge difference. Look at the textures, foliage, object count, ground clutter, shadows, ambient occlusion (although that's more subtle and easier to miss), and anti aliasing (again, probably harder to spot with lots of motion in the scene.) The easiest difference to see is the textures.

      I always like to see the average fucktard in his natural environment

      Doctora Ciel As expected, the average fucktard tried to use a funny insult, as always, it failed.

      Interactive movie? U4 has better gameplay overall, for instance, taking cover in Gears 4 is like playing with magnets

    I wish gears would go back to its roots with the gothic dark setting from the first two games. Now the characters look cartoony. They are trying too hard to appeal to kids. Gears 3 reminded me of sunset overdrive with its colors. I want the old gears back ! Not this cheesy cartoony crap

    I have played through the first Act and a little bit of the second so far on PC. With an i5 6600k @ 4.6GHz and a 1080. Almost a perfect locked 90 fps at 2560x1440 on Ultra so far. The game is not only looking great but plays great too.

    And now we have it running on the series consoles what are you waiting for if you don't already own it, it now looks and runs how it was originally intended.

    You guys just can't bring yourself to give any direct credit to anything on the xbox/windows platform can you.
    Its NOT an 'unreal engine 4 masterpiece' its just a 'masterpiece'.
    You guys are so sony biased. Look at the title you used for Uncharted 4:
    "Uncharted 4 Tech Analysis: A PS4 Masterpiece"
    And now you pull this crap giving ALL the credit to the UE4 engine. Yeah, coz of course the devs had NOTHING to do with it, its ALL down to the engine.
