Looks amazing, can't wait to try it!

Alexious2856d ago

Imagine in HDR mode. Now I'm pissed at getting a 4K display without HDR

zombiewombie2856d ago

I did the same, oh well. I still like my TV.

2856d ago
NatureOfLogic_2856d ago

My 4k tv doesn't have HDR but it does have Wide color gamut. I'm not really sure what's the difference between the two.

indysurfn2856d ago (Edited 2856d ago )

Man I played a PS3 game only 1080p the opening scenes looked so good on my HDR tv that I was cringing at seeing the game play. No need it was upscalled to look very good just 4k not hdr so you still have a good experience I'm sure.

But as for HDR I now WAIT for movies to come out on HDR instead of seeing them in theater I much more prefer the HDR blue ray tv experience. I cant copy the pop corn yet but I'm on it.

Anyone got HDR I say get MADMAX I usually get used to better graphics but not yet! I bought that movie back in MAY!

I'm waiting for someone to do a comparison between the xbox one s HDR and the Samsung player HDR if it is a
toss up I'm selling my expensive hdr player before people catch on(It can happen look at PS3 compared to blu ray players last gen)

medman2856d ago (Edited 2856d ago )

Don't be too mad...a lot of people don't realize that many 4k HDR capable sets suffer considerable lag in cinema/movie mode, which is the mode you have to be in to get the HDR benefits.

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

If you're a single player gamer primarily, or don't play many fps type titles, the lag in this mode may not bother you depending on how significant it is for your particular set. The lag induced on my 4k HDR set doesn't bother me, if fact it's not noticeable at all to me, and it's not nearly as bad as some on this list, and being a primarily single player gamer, I can't complain.

with all this hdr talk i feel like i'm missing out

mark_parch2856d ago

im going to wait for some comparisons before getting a hdr tv as they are very expensive compared to a normal 4k tv

Alexious2856d ago

Next year HDR TVs will be sold at decent prices. We just need to wait a little

indysurfn2856d ago

mark_parch they have been doing that for a few YEARS now try CNET, TOMs hardware, tech guru. And most importantly try AVSforums.com they have articles and users that compare owning them with real life video sources.

indysurfn2856d ago

Alexious I thought the same thing a couple of years ago. But our good old buys in congress decided that red tape was keeping us from competing we need to allow companies to have a MINIMUM price guaranteed (which MRP) dont get the MRP maximum mixed up with the MRP minimum. This is only used for high end tv's tough.

Long story short big companies can (AND DO) change the price of a exact item at every store in the USA up or down, and the retailers can't do anything about it! Take my tv I paid 3,499.99 (bestbuy because I had 45 days to return it) before taxes and warranty in May 2015 you could only find it for 2 dollars (not a typo) cheaper on ebay. come Holiday season they drop to 2999.99 three weeks before black Friday(EVERYWHERE). A few days before black Friday it jumps back up to 3499.99(EVERYWHERE) when I say that I mean it may be a 2 dollar difference at one or two stores online. Then after Christmas it jumps up to 3799.99 everywhere and stays there because of MRP. Low and medium and they dont do that on, but the high end they do.

MatrixxGT2856d ago

I'm going to wait and see for myself first.

rainslacker2856d ago (Edited 2856d ago )

It's pretty impressive to say the least. But honestly, there is so little HDR content out right now, you aren't missing out on much. Jump in when you feel it's time, the content that does exist now will still be out there, along with a ton more stuff to make it a more worthwhile purchase.

@indy

That's a contracted price established by the vendor with the stores to prevent them from undercutting one another, and in theory, control the perceived value of their products. Bose does the same thing.

However, since there is competition, the companies that do that will have to lower their prices to compete, otherwise, the stores won't buy the TV's from the vendor, and they will see nothing. Competition is ramping up, and this holiday is when UHD players will start to come down to a more reasonable price, with plenty of decently priced HDR 4K TV's already on the market from various TV makers. For the most part, outside the budget brands, they're all roughly the same because they all compete against one another, and they all cost roughly the same to make between manufacturers.

freshslicepizza2855d ago

@rainslacker,

i might upgrade my tv next year some time. not in a big hurry right now but what i want to do is build a new pc first. i was thinking of getting a nice hdtv to hook it up to but computer monitors are much better but so pricey.

rainslacker2855d ago

I was going to wait it out on 4K, and it was because I was content with my TV. I wasn't even really that versed on 4K at all, and it's not like the TV makers or companies marketing 4K are making it easy to understand for the person just shopping around in the store. I ended up getting one because a store here was going out of business, and I got a nice Samsung 55" 4K HDR TV(current model too) for $550, and figured it wouldn't be any cheaper a year from now, so what the heck. Just happy it has the HDR standard, otherwise I'd be stuck having to replace it like my receiver which isn't HDR compatible, even though I brought it because it was supposed to be 4K compatible.:(

Nice. FH2 already looks so good and FH3 looks so much better. Can't wait to try it out. I'll most likely get Scorpio next year so I hope we get a patch for the game when Scorpio arrives. I wonder how it'll look on scorpio

@Bakpain

Scorpio is out? Who said that? Anyways I'd love to see FH3 with upgraded visuals on scorpio. PG has done a terrific job with Xbox One hardware and I'd like to see what they can do with scorpio.

LexHazard792856d ago (Edited 2855d ago )

Lol...wait the Scorpio is out?

Edit:@game, I'm a console gamer. I'll wait for Scorpio

GameNameFame2856d ago

If you really cant wait, just get it on PC.

It is not like you even need the xbox to play the game.

LexHazard792855d ago (Edited 2855d ago )

Hey crappy attempt at being funny on my part Chris. But you did change your comment. Which made seem as tho Scorpio was already out. I know it releases nxt yr. I was just messing.

Edit: me too, I know it will look amazing on the Scorpio. That vid you linked yesterday was great. I want those same visuals on my Xbox console.

christocolus2855d ago

No worries bro,I got that. I'll always post new vids as soon as i find them. I'm already saving up for Scorpio. I hope MS does a proper reveal of the console late this year or sometime early next year. I want to know more.

@Gamenamefame

Stop your concern trolling. You keep telling everyone to run out to buy a PC but has it ever occured to you that not everyone is into PC gaming? For xbox fans who love console gaming and want the best specs there will be Scorpio launching next year. ok?

OldGuyStillGaming2856d ago

Well here's already one thing I won't get out of my launch X1

Eventually I'll upgrade but I'll enjoy the non HDR version for now

KiwiViper852856d ago (Edited 2856d ago )

Ye theres no holding back technology. Its the same with any device, day after launch it's already outdated...

ElusiveAura2856d ago

We can't use hdr in game mode so if we use HDR then we will have horrendous input lag

2856d ago
Alexious2856d ago

It depends on the TV, I guess...

DragonDDark2856d ago

I just use my pc moniter lol

DragonDDark2856d ago (Edited 2856d ago )

Edit: double post

LexHazard792855d ago

@dragond, does your monitor have hdr? I also use a monitor, but its been hard finding one with HDR.

indysurfn2856d ago

not if you get a high end HDR.

So far, it doesn't look like it.

dumahim13h ago

I dunno. Might actually be better than Forza Motorsport 2023 was at launch.

dumahim8h ago

@DivineHand125

Yes. All of the ones on Xbox since the beginning. I even have the original Best Buy demo copy and FM2 limited edition that they didn't even sell in the US.

BeHunted59m ago

Did you actually read the article? They're talking about open world games like Forza Horizon, The Crew, etc. Not circuit racers; otherwise, they'd mention Gran Turismo.

Jingsing16h ago

Only a competitor if your game works fully offline and isn't some service.

DigitallyAfflicted15h ago

it sounds like this game is stuck in last generation.

Skuletor15h ago

Personally, I wouldn't want my game compared with The Crew at all, I certainly wouldn't be the one making the comparison either.

ElaBosak3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

How so? It's a very successful and popular racing franchise. Any game entering the genre is competing with racing games including The Crew.

Skuletor2h ago

It wasn't very long ago Ubisoft shutdown the original The Crew's servers, making every copy unplayable. I wouldn't want to be associated with that controversy.

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan4d ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin4d ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

_SilverHawk_3d ago

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Co CEO prefers gamers to boycott.. so be it. I’ll never buy a gaas.
Just imagine buying a game you cannot replay in some years.. this shit must stop.

Days Gone did zombies in a very original way. The story was also so engaging. You actually only meet Zombie hordes later in the game. There are many more enemy groups to deal with.

MrNinosan3d ago

@Notelin
I am one of the few who bought Days Gone on release day and loved it completely.
However, "more online trash" is phrased like Sony has put out alot of trash online games.
We got what, 2 games? Helldivers 2 and GT7, 2 of the most sold Playstation games where both is loved by millions.

You, me and especially shinoff has no idea if Fairgames, Marathon and Concord will be trash.

Just because we (as in you and me) don't love or support online games, doesn't mean millions of other do.

And we don't know what Bend Studio is working with? We don't know if they're forced to make a online game or another amazing single player experience.

The only thing we do know is that it's not Days Gone, sadly due to poor sales the first 6 months.

shinoff21833d ago (Edited 3d ago )

More online trash wasmt meant how insee it comes across. I should've worded it different I was meaning the focus they currently have on it.

Anything online is online trash to me. How long did naughty dog spend on that dumba last of us multiplayer, how about Concord, or even the other couple we hear about. I fk with Sony because rpgs and their 1st party single player games. Been like that for years. I hate seeing them waste time, money, and talent on trash. I understand bot every game is gonna be for me but this focus they've seem to had on multiplayer is extremely disheartening. Even at the state of play the only things I was really feeling were Astrobot and silent hill 2 and I'm content with that, not everything is for me. It's just the online focus I hate. Ms bought up 3 to 4 wrpgs developers, Sony just ignores rpgs 1st party wise.

And a days gone 2 would've been much better then whatever online sht bend is working on. I do know sometimes I get very idk emotional. I do need to work on toning that down a bit lol

SimpleDad3d ago

Ammm let's see... That All-stars, Foamstars, Babilon 5 wass gaas...
Concord... can wait to play that...Marathon uuuu... Last of them gaas... U
Horizon Zero dawn has a project that leaked as a Fortnite lookalike.

They bought Destiny that is a dead gaas...people love ti.

Helldivers 2 was luck.

Jimbo was all in and pushed Sony single player games 5 years behind.

Spiderman gaas was cancelled... I mean every 1st party studio was doing gaas.

Bend had to pitch a gaas game... Open world coop something

I can't remember more... Of that crap.

tay87013d ago

@simpledad. Destiny 2 isn't a dead game. Its the number 5 most played game on steam. I dont play it, but alot of people do.

MrNinosan3d ago

@SimpleDad
You failed to mention a single PS Studios game that has been released last 10 years.
Either your reading skills are crap or you think Sony own every studio in the world.

I rolled my eyes at concord not only was it just yet another cookie cutter hero shooter but that qucik look for the hero select.

Already has a free section then paid section along with a they/them she/her dei crap top right.

Nothing like a day off of work to fire up concord to read about the new characters sexual identity and or preference then a paywall do you want o buy this character shit like no i just want to shoot my gun have fun.

-Foxtrot4d ago

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

ThinkThink4d ago

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

shinoff21833d ago

I mean it's not out of the realm of possibility at this point.

Grilla4d ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5234d ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin4d ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-643d ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

Cacabunga3d ago

The guy’s just a moron.. he should have stayed within game development. His choices will have a terrible impact on the brand in the long run.

tay87013d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Dude is pretty pathetic. Sounds like a guy who's girl left him for someone better. Always talking about days gone sequel that never was, even though he is no longer at bend and hasnt been for a while. I for one am not upset about the lack of a sequel. It is one of the worst 1st party games in recent memory. Completely jank, played like an xbox game. The only redeeming quality was the hordes.

excaliburps4d ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla4d ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

derek3d ago

@Notellin, of course you'll believe an embittered ex-employee with an axe to grind because it's evil Sony he's complaining about. You guys act like days gone was this huge success and somehow Sony hates easy money a sequel would have generated. The game was mid and so was the response to it. They're still supporting the developer who is making a new ip that could be great.

shinoff21833d ago

Days gone was fantastic. I bought day one but didn't get around to it for months. When I finally did I was pissed at myself for waiting so long lol

But if it’s true what this guy says it sold better than Death Stranding

Yet that got a sequel and Kojima aside out of them both DS didn’t really NEED a sequel compared to Days Gone which ended on such a cliff hanger twist.
