City of Brass To Run at 4K HDR on XB1X, 1080P on PS4 Pro; Nintendo Switch Port Being Considered

thekhurg2195d ago

While the Pro wouldn't be able to run 4k, there's no reason for it to be stuck at 1080p and no HDR at launch. Seems like this developer was paid to add additional resolution/feature support for xbox x instead of just making the best looking versions possible on all platforms.

From what it sounds like... the Pro will be getting some enhancements later. So it isnt all bad.

They aren't getting paid extra. It's just really easy to port from PC to Xbox compared to PS4, especially small studios. It doesn't excuse their lack of attempt to improve the Pro resolution and possibly quality, but hopefully they can do that post release.

It’s paid timed enhancements.
Ol chirtopher down there saying “it’s easier”... it’s the same architecture Christopher.. the only thing separating them is more ram, stronger gpu, slightly tweaked cpu.
It’s just Microsoft’s new thing to hopefully salvage anyone from jumping ship more than they have now.

@ Rude-ro

No, what's separating them is 1.8 Tflops of GPU power, and an extra 4 GB of RAM. Nobody should be surprised by these results.

Ms seems to be holding back on quality exclusives and 3rd party devs are filling the blanks. Ms seems to be holding back on creating games that fully utilize the power you paid 500$ for. Sony seems to invest and trust in 1st party goals and funding.

Vasto2195d ago (Edited 2195d ago )

Whats sad is that you all click on these articles to see the domination and then get upset at it. LMAO

"It is no coincidence that Game Pass coupled with backwards compatibility and the introduction of the X has seen Microsoft’s year on year sales grow strongly whereas in recent months year on year growth of the PlayStation 4 has plateaued"

Based on other games sure, but based on this game/article? why? you won't be getting much more out of it, might as well buy a regular ps4 which also runs it at 1080p. At least wait till they patch the HDR.

You guys keep saying I'm trolling but the amount of comments I see about spending $$ on the X for 4K is justified... spending extra $$ on the pro for 1080p is not money well spent the proof is in the pudding and the X is going to continue to dominate with more 4K as more game releases.

I'm pretty sure most people didn't buy a Pro for this game.

Most people don't even know this game exists, its made by a small independent studio who obviously didn't have time or resources to optimize their game on the PS4 Pro.

And the Xbox 1 X is not dominating anything...

Wow while the first part mite be true of what you said, did it ever occur to you that they tried to optimise the pro like they did for the rest of the consoles.

But you can t be having that you fanboys now can you, instead you will throw out that they favoured the X version instead of it could be as simple as they tried to the same resolution and just couldn't.

I mean come on overtime most realised that the X would do better as more developers got used to the machine it stands to say it's obvious with what's under the hood but for some reason fanboys can't admit that.

It's like I know for a fine fact once the new PlayStation is out that should do better than the x, same when Microsoft bring out there new box which should do better over that playstation.

It's like some people on this site can't get it into there heads that new updated tech should be doing slightly better or more than what has been out a bit ago.

And still won't look as good as Sony exclusives. My $$ for my gaming PC is fully justified. Beats the hell out of what X would give and much more useful. But Sony actually gives me a reason to own a PS4. Xbox One X is just redundant hardware with nearly ZERO backing from its manufacturer. Just a waste. Dominate? lol....City of Brass, huh? I'll take God of War and the rest of the Sony library. THAT is domination.

Depends on the games I've been playing Forza games all they were all 1080p so for me I've been getting the most out of my TV but then again the same could be said about the pro Vs the X at the end of the day unless you're playing the same game on another console side by side you would never know the difference don't get why people bring this crap up over and over

rob-GP2196d ago

but it has got pro enhancements - it's higher quality and higher graphical settings than the base models. The interview never says anywhere that it's 4k on the X, the title is saying that as it's a well known Xbox fanboy ran website. They said HDR will be implemented later on as well, so it is getting enhancements. A higher pixel count isn't the only thing that counts as an enhancement - higher graphical settings are much better then a few extra pixels

Obvious the Xbox One X is likely a direct port of the PC version and this team did not optimize the PS4 pro the best way.Also what strikes me the most in the comment it how he states the Xbox One X has higher framerate,let me thinking that PS4 pro and the other systems will run badly again due to lack of proper optimizition.

Please this is Just crapy studio. The problem isnt the pro. How can a game on the pro run with the same rez as the xbox s. One is a 4.2 teraflop machine and another 1.30 teraflop machine. Do the math.

Whats even worst are gamers saying the pro is crapy because of a crapy game like this when the its where You find the best graphics. The pro set the bar to beat. And You can buy it for 349 in many retailers.

Yet City of Brass isn't the first game to have a better resolution etc on the Xbox One X over the PS4 Pro though, so are all those other games due to "just a crappy studio" like you claim because that can't be used as the excuse for every one of them can it now

bluefox7552196d ago

Well, when you see what IS possible on the pro, these lazy pro optimizations are hard to defend.

Christopher2196d ago

Having better resolution isn't the problem, having no apparent attempt to maximize for the Pro is the problem it seems. Looks like this is a case of easy porting from Windows and ignoring the rest for potential.

CaptainObvious8782196d ago (Edited 2196d ago )

Obviously most of us sony fans acknowledge the xboneX is more powerful than the Pro, so it's no shock when some ports have a little bump in resolution, but when it's 1/4 the resolution, possible without HRD, and is the same quality as the xbonxS version, obviously someone's being lazy.

Agree 4 Disagree 2

Kiwi662196d ago

@Christopher I did say resolution etc which includes everything to do with a game and to everyone else I'm assuming that the team is a small one with less resources than bigger studios so the fact that their first focus is on xbox doesn't make them lazy does it ?

Agree 0 Disagree 1

corroios2196d ago

Of course it can. Its impossible for a game to run at 1080p on the PRO if the Xbox One also runs at 1080p, except its something like tetris.

I know its a very good clickbait title and good for saying crap about the PRO, but if you needed a 4.2 teraflop machine to reach just 1080, hell, this gen almost all games would be at 480p.

This game should run at least at 1440p.

It's just some goddamn corridor fps narrow as sh!t and they can't get it to run at a resolution above 1080p when some devs pull off dynamic 4K deemed by all who saw it as very close to native 4K on an open world game like Horizon Zero Dawn??? The PS4 Pro has run games in native 4K @ 60 fps that were more complicated graphically than that.

Nobody noticed that the guy interviewed never once said it was 4k on the X? all he said was it's 1080p on the Pro with the higher quality textures and detail effects. The site put 4k in the title of the article, but the dev literally never said anything. For all we know, it could be 1440p or less on the X

Doughhead2195d ago

The game has been confirmed to be enhanced for the Xbox One X. Can you tell us the full specifications of this version as well as your thoughts on the hardware as a whole?

With an Xbox One X, the game will output HDR10 if your TV supports it. It’s also got 4K resolution, higher quality lighting and higher quality shadow resolution/draw distance. And of course, the framerate is higher. Basically, the game just looks and runs better.

Mithan2196d ago (Edited 2196d ago )

Seems funny. X1X doesn't have 4 times the power. 1080p to 4k is 4 times the pixels. Something else going on here. I would have suspected the usual 50% difference (4k vs 1600p or whatever), not this.

I suspect the 1080p version is less optimized or actually has more effects on while the X1X version is running higher resolution.

People talk about God of war like there will never be anything better. Glad it's getting such high praise because it will make Xbox developers push their games that much more and it justifies the fact that the single player campaigns are far from dying...just give it time and we'll see more and more single player adventure games being developed (for all platforms, exclusive and 3rd party) using god of war as a benchmark.

on the other hand, take fortnite as an example. For a free game it's managed to pull in $126 million in february alone which I doubt god of war will do in the same time frame.
