Gears of War 4 Devs Had Game Running In 4K On XB1X Within A Day With Additional Horsepower Left

The Coalition's Technical Director, Mike Rayner was recently on stage at E3 Coliseum in an interview with Microsoft's Larry Hryb.

Native 4K with 4K textures and improved visuals? And they had power left ?

Let the games begin.

[super_cuddles]

The games began some time ago dawg, news flash , Ms on damage control with da X

[LexHazard79]

why are you guys saying xbox on damage control. the only problem ive had with the whole presentation was that they ran games on PC for some of the teasers.
MS never said the X was gonna do 4K everything. And kept saying that its up to devs. So when we see games not hitting 4K...go bother the devs not MS.

Ark is running at 1080p/60 on X yet no one is complaining. Oh wait did I hear in a interview that its doing equivalent to Epic setting on PC. Not even the Pro can do that...they got it to High setting on the Pro and only managed 30frames.

The leaked white papers from digital foundry had pointed out that Scorpio was infact using sparse rendering and checkerboard just like the Pro. The only thing was that Scorpio had the power to run more games at Native 4K than the Pro. The only people damage controlling are the ones that feel the loss of the power argument.
Xbox One X, day one.

Dawgs, all dat gigaflops ain't gonna mean shit in the real world, still gonna get mopped dry by the inferior pro... All dat power for nutn...
Pro 4 life Dawgs, greatness awaits. 4theplayers 4 real!!!

It's dynamic res.

Mike Rayner said in the interview.

"With that being our focus, we’re running at 4K 30FPS for Campaign/Horde and 4K 60FPS for Versus with adaptive scaling to ensure a rock-solid frame rate that fans expect from our head to head multiplayer."

[TheCommentator]

Reread your quote:

4K/30 for campaign.
4K/60 for versus with adaptive scaling to ensure a rock solid framerate (for) MP.

This is how the game functioned on XB1. Dynamic 1080p/60 was for MP. Nice try, bud, but the Gears campaign is Native 4k.

[81BX]

Dope. I can only imagine what next gen will bring.

[ooquis]

Any game can run 4K if u dumb down the graphics enough.

[TheCommentator]

Oh, but the console isn't Native 4K because other devs chose to add other graphical effects instead of native resolution. 4K AAA is only real on 1X!

[butchertroll]

But Phil said that Xbonex is a only "true" 4k on market. Well, it's not.

[filchron]

Why not push it to 4K60 then? or at least an option for 1440p/60

[rainslacker]

Guess it has to start sometime.

[zivtheawesome]

People are always being so surprised by this. There is no reason to be surprised when the game is 1080p on the xbox 1. What i wanna see is if other 900p games will follow ubisoft and checkerboard their game

[ApocalypseShadow]

Yeah. It shouldn't be that hard to port from Xbox to Xbox. And make any improvements from a lower spec Xbox to a higher spec one.

Sounds all good to me i just wish fcc would approved xboxone x so pre-orders can start

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Man you and me both. I'm tired of refreshing Amazon and target apps every 5 mins lol

[super_cuddles]

So it's the FCC that are holding back the x bone x... Not Sony !!

[nicsaysdie]

Hahahaha

[ninsigma]

That's awesome. Looks like a comprehensive toolset forgetting games to use Scorpios powers has been made for the console. Gears was graphically very nice so I'd imagine it looks great in 4k!

[Mikey94]

Thats great and all then why is horde still 30fps

[super_cuddles]

That's the power they had left dawg

[cellfluid]

Because the X can't handle it that's why

[Artemidorus]

Here we go again first Forza now Gears.

Microsoft it's seriously B O R I N G.

[super_cuddles]

Zzzzzzz what's next... Halo wars 2 in checker board 4k 30 fps??? Yippity skippity

[super_cuddles]

Misrosoft are on the up n up lately, just a little to late to matter dawg

[super_cuddles]

Fu## all dat noise, gears is some old shit dawg

[XtraTrstrL]

Yet Campaign and Horde will still be locked at 30FPS, Brilliant!

[sadsatan]

checkerboard? 30fps? OMG!

[cellfluid]

Additional horsepower left but it's still gonna be 30fps lolol stop it.

[jackdaddy]

This console will flop. Shame the masses can't see it lmao.

[Lennoxb63]

Couldn't care less how much it sells. I just know that it will be in my bedroom on November 7th.

[Vasto]

Forget Boost Mode.

We got Beast Mode!

Power of 1st party studios :)
