Huw Beynon, Head of Global Communications at THQ has recently posted an image to his Foursquare account teasing some new information on Homefront 2. The image he uploaded was a logo from Crytek and with that, a caption.
Xbox Series X's FPS Boost is game-changing when it works and disappointing when it doesn't. While frame rates are often consistent, many titles make concerning sacrifices. This lost compiles 20 FPS Boost games that make major sacrifices, detailing their drawbacks.
As someone with the Series S, it makes more of an impact there than on the X. From what i have seen, if the game already supported One X enhancements, then its best to just let it be on the Series X.
Great to have options I’ve gone back to playing dragon age inquisition and it runs superbly. Good article though detailing differences.
Wow, these downplaying articles are rife this week in the lead up to E3.
Funny how it is only this week these articles are surfacing, even though we knew about Series X not running upgrades from Xbox One X BC games months ago. As per article :-
"If a game doesn't run at a stable performance level, the Microsoft backwards-compatibility team can't adjust game settings or resolution to best reach the target frame rate."
Well yeah, you can not change some other developers game code, only they can enhance their own game via next-gen patches.
There is even one now on how Gamepass for PC is "broken".
Wonder what we will see next? We have had Xbox not making any money on any console ever, gamepass for PC is broken, FPS boost has lackluster upgrades, xbox division is being ran in the red at a consistent loss, gamepass has never been profitable, all in the lead up to Xbox and Bethesda's E3 showing.
Funny times, roll on E3 for me, can't wait.
In short :-
All 20 games on the list, are running at Xbox One resolution with FPS boost enabled, instead of the Xbox One X enhanced versions resolution.
This is a known issue, even when running the same games through the BC program.
A secret Timesplitters 2 port was hidden in Homefront: The Revolution and a team of people have finally worked out how to unlock it.
Still have my PS2 copy, and a multi-tap with my PS2 for 4 player split-screen.
"Unfortunately, there's no info on how these codes might work on the PC version of the game, although it wouldn't be surprising for someone to figure it out in the near future." I wonder if the same codes would work if you plugged a controller to the PC.
We've known for years that Homefront: The Revolution hides an arcade cabinet where you can play a couple of levels from TimeSplitters 2. Now, evidence has come to light that the entirety of TimeSplitters 2's campaign was designed to be fully playable in native 4K.
if crytek is doing it im game!
They need to hurry and get info out on this game, there is going to be a mad rush at the beginning of 2013 to get games out before the announcement of the new consoles. I have a feeling that developers know the announcements are going to happen before E3 2013.
The reason for an announcement before E3 would be to kill some of the steam Nintendo will get from releasing a new console a year before the competition.
Crytek is handling the development so it can't be worse than the first one...can it?
I had just enough enjoyment out of the first game that I am willing to give #2 a chance. While I was disappointed by the single player of Homefront, I saw just enough to see true promise for the game. MP wise I felt Homefront was quite good and fun but lacked in graphical fidelity.
Homefront 2's biggest challenge is going to be finding a spot between BF3 and MW3. How unique can they become? I mean vehicle play was good in HF but its great in BF3... Shooting is really good in both MW3 and BF3 ( one being more twitch than the other ) so .... can it be better? Or good enough that gamers will buy it and support it? That's a tall order if you ask me.
Dear THQ. To hell with Homefront and any other cod clone you're cooking up. Market the hell out of Metro 2033 and Last Light. Shooter fans are dying for unique experiences and Metro could be just the ticket.
