Metro Exodus Devs Targeting Full 4K On Xbox One X, Reveal Was Running On PC

Metro Exodus developers have shared some new information regarding the state of the game on the Xbox One X.

[KingKionic]

"the reveal was running on a PC that had comparable specs to the Xbox One X."

Dang it i hope Xbox One X ends up the same. It looked fantastic.

[Nitrowolf2]

What a joke, this is the same thing that happened with both x1 and ps4 original reveals with multiplat.

Companies need to stop doing this. We are 3 or 4 years in this gen, this shouldnt be happening.

[KingKionic]

I think it will reach it. Its disappointing but if Anthem is anything to go by they should be able to pull it off.

Anthem was running off Xbox One X.

The game was built to take advantage of Xbox One X .

[Obscure_Observer]

@KionicWarlord222

"Anthem was running off Xbox One X."

If true, X most probably will reach native 4K on Metro

[Overload]

I won't be surprised to see Anthem get heavily downgraded (like Watch Dogs or The Division) and gets moved to 2019 instead.

[81BX]

@Kionic
Do you mind posting a link to that co formation? Thanks if not, no worries

[GTgamer]

If you guy think anthem and Metro will look like anything like their E3 reveal then guys have learned nothing this generation.

[Gh05t]

@81BX

The game was introduced on stage with the quote "Lets see what this game looks like running on an[sic] Xbox One X."

At ~2:34:18 of the twitch xbox channel recording of the conference https://www.twitch.tv/video...

[JasonKCK]

Metro and Anthem will look like that on PC and Scorpio, and only those two.

[foxdie2014]

What is funny xb1x is suppose to show its true native 4k phil said they are bringing with the xb1x and they are running the games ok pc

[thehitman1398]

You are half right and maybe secretly trying to do it on purpose. But x1 did and was caught many times doing this, while on the other hand the ps4 NEVER did this. You had fanboys try n say it was happing but, there was never any times it was true. So let's just get that cleared up, ok.

[BenRC01]

If anthem looks like that I'll eat my brand new one x.
If you think it will, this must be your first e3.

[MrCrabPuss]

Xbox presentation or not of course companies are damn well going to show their game running on superior PC hardware, and then hope for the best that they can shoehorn as much into the XBOX etc as possible. Good old marketing. People should realize this shit by now, the smart ones do at least.
What can one expect from a sub 500 machine anyway? Its shitty processor has already been proven to be the bottleneck and the gpu is no 1080ti.
But hell, its good enough for its 2 year lifespan, 3 if you're lucky, at least until the next semi-obsolete money box gets released to all the suckers...THATS the real joke man. Consoles.

[Gazondaily]

Well the One X version will be the closest to the PC vesrion in any event. Still, they should have shown the 1X version

[SpaceRanger]

"Well the One X version will be the closest to the PC vesrion in any event."

You would hope so. Because right now the only game looking "beastly" and taking full advantage of the "BEAST" is Forza. Aren't I right Septic? The year long wait was worth it.

[KingKionic]

Assassins creed Orgins as well is taking advantage of the Xbox One X Ranger.

http://www.ign.com/articles...

I found it very impressive at E3 as well.

But almost every game that was on stage was running 4K or 4K enhanced. Very positive support.

[Gazondaily]

Well it should easily eclipse the PS4 Pro in terms of performance. That much is obvious no?

[ThePope]

@Space ranger

So does Anthem

[Sunny_D]

You sure sound more humbled and calmer now Septic. Lmao, what happened to the hype you had about THE BEAST!!!111 😂

[Gazondaily]

It's still a BEAST!!

[Null1980]

Lol Septic, so much damage control! I almost feel sorry for ya!! (not really, you've been digging your own grave for a long while!) Yes true, it will be closest to PC on a console, no denying that. It was still a dirty move and I'll take it on PC. It's not so much a "Beast" as a cute little furry bear cub, possibly an adolescent compared to the true superior Grizzly PC version.

[Cryptcuzz]

@Septic

"Well it should easily eclipse the PS4 Pro in terms of performance. That much is obvious no?"

You don't say? The PS4 Pro has been out for how long now? Whereas the Xbox One X isn't even out yet. LMAO.

[_-EDMIX-_]

SMH

So basically what you're telling me is this game was shown on another platform?

Ok bud.

I mean all this is showing is the irrelevancy of actually owning an Xbox One X

[choujij]

What a coincidence though, cause this game was shown running on the platform which it will look best on... :D

[KillBill]

@SpaceRanger - did you not see Anthem and Middle Earth: Shadow at War?

[Inzo]

@Septic
"Its still a BEAST"

Its a limping beast.

[Ashlen]

I knew it I am going to continue and guess whole show was on PC. I knew it as soon as they said "in engine" and not "on Xbox"

[Gh05t]

They did say on Xbox One X for at least Anthem.
~2:34:18
https://www.twitch.tv/video...

[Mystogan]

It had comparable specs so it probably will look the same or better.

[_-EDMIX-_]

In that respect all this confirms is I should just stick to my PC in regards to upgrading....

I mean all this is actually showing is just how Irrelevant this actually is to most consumers.

[foxdie2014]

Hopeing is one thing but since its not console exclusive and phil saying they are bringing native 4k with the xb1x now saying they will try lmaoo shame

[Cryptcuzz]

A lot of spin, hopes and damage control so soon after E3 barely started.

[xsta1ker]

for all you nay sayers here in pony land check out sit down with ark survival evolved developer
x1x will be true 4k 60fps on epic pc settings lol

whats that i hear crickets thought so.

[xsta1ker]

all you nay sayers will soon run out of bs after x1x proves you all wrong you should just embrace
the 500$ true 4k console Microsoft built for console gamers not just fanboys preorder now and be part of
the future of gaming the beast is real.

[SpaceRanger]

Damn...and here I was thinking it would look remotely close on console. I'm sure the PCs they use are speced out!

Nonetheless, the game is looking good!

[Gazondaily]

Yeah best get your One X if you want a console version that runs close to PC :)

[ecchiless]

Nah, better on pc, pc actually have new games and some are "exclusive".

[Sunny_D]

Moving goal posts baby😂

[BiggerBoss]

Septic is so far in denial that his ego has imploded into itself. That e3 conference broke him

[foxdie2014]

What is the point in upgrading to xb1x other than it being a lil more powerful than ps4 pro when it has no good games at all smfh nothing to show for it no new triple a ip no new sequel triple a exclusives either out of all those 22 exclusives only 7 were console exclusives and in the mix were indies shame

[Gazondaily]

Lool what happened in the E3 conference? Did the One X specs get downgraded?

[Babadook7]

Scorpio will be very close indeed

...to Pro

[Null1980]

Yea Septic, you know I as primarily a PS4 player I recently jumped in on the XB1 community..... on my new laptop. I love some Forza. Can't put FH3 down.

But I knew the XBOX's magic processor couldn't possibly hold up to my i7-7700HQ (multithreaded to a max 8x 3.8ghz when in overclock), even at a $500 price. I was told continuously by people that the XBOX would stand toe to toe, with my admittedly just "mid-range" GTX 1060. (I know it's not the best of the best, but it's good for the price) and 16gb DDR4.

The reality is setting in. It's not quite as "Beast" as it was played up to be. I know you just like to playfully get a rise out of people. You play PS4 as well, SOME.

I know not everyone wants to invest in a PC. (I needed to, bc of work) Some people may just need to invest in 1 or 2 components which could put them on par, for possibly $500 or less.

I'll be there enjoying some XB1 games, may even play some Sea of Thieves with you. However, the exclusive lineup was severely disappointing... now finding out that they cheated by showing PC footage of Metro? For me, the best combo is PS4 Pro (for sheer exclusives) and PC.... with a Switch on the way by the end of the year, I hope!

[Ron_Danger]

@septic

The console specs didn't get downgraded, but crackdown sure did.

[nowitzki2004]

Hang in there Septic. You are doing good for MS, keep fighting

[Gazondaily]

Lord Phil! Bestow upon me your bounties for my loyalty!

[Null1980]

Lmao Septic, I actually gave you a vote up for your hilariously entertaining delusion!

*I saw over on the N4G community on PS4 where you agreed that the game showing for Microsoft's E3 was weak. ;) You're a madman... all over the place! ha

[choujij]

"Lord Phil! Bestow upon me your bounties for my loyalty! "

I sincerely hope he gives you a free One X just for trying. You definitely deserve that much.

[xsta1ker]

septic
don't worry about x1x it will deliver true 4k in those are the facts...
it's all these pc elites and sony fans can't handle the truth x1x for 500 will smash most midd range pc's
and the pro has no shot fact. and how about sony's press conference all this talk exclusive games
wow what happened that was hands down the worst press conference of all time.

almost a complete showing of e3 2016 this show was and is total garbage lol good luck sony fans
greatness is still waiting another fact😢

[Relientk77]

Or you could show what it looks like on Xbox One X instead of misleading everyone watching

[GTgamer]

It's funny how they choose not to say it's running on pc on Stage oh yeah I forgot Ms is all smoke and mirrors.

[Gazondaily]

Isn't just MS doing this. Sony has done this too. Could be worse though; they could have done a Killzone 2 and flat out LIED and MISLED everyone. Shieee

[GTgamer]

@setpic I loved how you went allllllllllllllllllllllllll the way back to killzone 2 lets talk about all the recent Sony Shown Exclusives Running on Base PS4 :) Sony learned MS didn't end of story but of course, you will defend MS BS to the bitter end.

[Gazondaily]

Or how about Batman Arkham Knight. That was this gen and Song showed gameplay on stage which later turned out to be running on PC not PS4.

😙

[GTgamer]

@Septic ill take one game doing it on ps4 over 90% of the xone's lineup doing it :) and during that Batman presentation Sony didn't put 1080p at the bottom of the screen even tho devs haven't even hit it yet on the console but yesterday MS did give us the impression it was running on the xonex in true 4k hdr and now we're hearing that the game might not even be native 4k -__- and I'll say you this Batman looked exactly the same on PS4 on release but i bet money Metro won't one the xonex.

[Sunny_D]

Septic on that damage control. It's hilarious. Have fun playing those indie games in glorious 4k at 30 fps!

[SmielmaN]

Cry some more Septic. Just keep on damage control. You have to be 40 by now and I can't help but feel bad for you and your Xbox conference party chat. Must have been a lot of sighs and cmons going through those headsets. Buddy that conference blew and your bias is shining hard.

Don't worry about taking your time avoiding this site after the conference. We all noticed that virtually all the Xbox regulars were absent for the rest of the night. Kind of like MS exclusive AAA games were missing from their show.

But keep crying buddy. We are all getting a great laugh watching you jump article to article defending that pile of garbage.

[DonkeyWalrus]

@Sunny_D
Um... what games are you going to be playing this year? Knack 2 and GT Sport? Lol.

[Dmagic]

lol killzone came out looking better than the demo besides the facial expressions it kicked the original trailers ass in every way.

[jukins]

Smoke and mirrors. They made a big deal in how forza was ported in days but theyre still showing games running on pc

[SmielmaN]

Typical Microsoft. All bullshit, all the time.

[fatbastard11]

Why would they showcase a game running on PC at a conference supposedly showing off Xbox One X gameplay?

[yeahright2]

They do that all the time. Make it look as good as possible to build hype and get those pre order numbers up. they don't care how much X1X sells, they care how much metro sells.

[FunAndGun]

Probably because they didn't have many high quality games to show. So in order to get this in the show, it had to run on PC.

[cellfluid]

Because they are deceiving the people by way of making it look like it's running on X hardware when it's a pc behind cloax doors... A Dezam shame Microsoft..

[testerg35]

So when the same thing is done for games done on PS4 its ok?

[Lennoxb63]

When games are not yet ready to run on console they're run on PC. This is a common practice. Sony, MS, EA, Ubi, etc, all do it.

[ILostMyMind]

Jokes aside, i have to agree.

[trooper_]

Deception and trickery.

[StormLegend]

And then you have an honest company like Sony who showed each PS4 game on a original PS4 last year. MS I can't believe this SMH.

[testerg35]

/s

[arkard]

Lol I thought everything was running on Xonex hardware?

[LexHazard79]

Noooooooo! Man, see thats what I dont like, cause I thought it was running on Scorpio. My hype was throught the roof...cant say Im not a bit disappointed.
I hope it looks just as good tho.

[Abnor_Mal]

I have to give you your props bro for at least being honest in saying that you were decieved and are now a bit disappointed. No spin added, nice.

[LexHazard79]

Dont worry haters.. still day one buy!

[kenwonobi]

So in other words don't trust the presentation? Gotcha. SMH.

[shiva1]

Yes. You did get that but what you dont get is what ever the final release version is, it just runs far better than Ps4, Ps4 slim and Ps4 pro.

[cbuc1125]

They did it again!....Why am i surprised?

[MADGameR]

It will play at 4k but NOT at 4k 60FPS that even a GTX1080Ti can't even do for every game unless you drop the settings slightly.

[kenwonobi]

Well I'll just lower my expectations on everything shown then. These guys can never be trusted at presentations.

[Dirtnapstor]

Oh no...Angry Joe will be ranting once he hears about this! He was thoroughly impressed with Metro on the eX!

[FernDiggidy]

SMFH!

[Aenea]

Typical MS! 😂

[boing1]

lol

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Should be a relatively painless port.

[Psychotica]

Well it's good to know it will look good on my PC..

[cellfluid]

Why the stuttering when asked what was it running on?? If it's the same as the Xbox x then why not show it running on my the X??? To much cloaking Goin on.. Microsoft has dropped the ball for real...

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Yeah it will definitely look better on the Pro by a wide margin

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Hopefully Metro on X1 will look just as good. I'm looking forward to jumping back into that series. I loved feeling like I'm always about to run out of ammo.

[Doomeduk]

Power of the cloud to double Xbox one power ,hidden GPU ,and now a hidden PC ........wow just wow
Breaking news David Blane hired to front the next Microsoft reveal

[343_Guilty_Spark]

6 > 4

[corroios]

Same tatics new console

[ILostMyMind]

lol. Now that they can say "XBOX/PC" will games shown always on PC version.

[Realms]

LOL. It was running on a PC, come on guys I hope for the sake of the people that drop 500 bucks on the X that there is no difference otherwise why even buy one.

[BenRC01]

Starting to think the one x isn't anywhere near as powerful as it looks.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Still more powerful than the Pro

[BenRC01]

Is it powerful enough to play tlou2, Spider-Man, gow2, days gone or skyrim in vr?

[343_Guilty_Spark]

The specs says it should be able to but those games are only for PS4.

[ASSASSYN]

Every E3.how people are expecting anything different is beyond me. Even destiny wasn't running on PS4. Said at the bottom, equivalent graphics on PS4 pro. Shocking.

[i3eyond the Circle]

What if I told you.. there will never be a AAA developer that will say they are targeting 4K on ps4 pro.

[REBORN71]

most people as case in point is after reading these threads are idiots with lack of common sense - soo here are some idiotically simple observations using common sense:
games are designed and developed on pc - im yet to see xONE(insert any letter here) or ps(insert any number here) that can run photoshop aftereffects maya etc.
as such when its time to showcase a new game they are shown on surprise surprise a pc -- if they do show them on console do you think the bits shown are:
A) prescripted scenes with minimal amount of animation, textures, voiceovers ai processing player choice and consequences resulting in not following the pre-scripted path
B) snippet of gameplay from the whole game slightly different from the final release including all textures dialogue ai etc

if answered A - do you think there is likelihood of needing to scale the shit down after considering all parameters like budget constrains, shitty 5y old pc specs constrains, and even shittier console constrains, meeting deadlines, meeting developer/publisher money cow expectations, meeting whiny players and fans expectations and so on?

if answered B go google common sense and if you have no understanding and experience working in creative development - stick to commenting about shit that you have experience with
