One of Microsoft's most heavily promoted exclusives for the Xbox One, Quantum Break, is launching next month and over the weekend some interesting news hit the internet. It turns out that the game runs at 720p on the Xbox One, this was confirmed in a test by Digital Foundry as well as Phil Spencer himself but the Xbox head would like gamers to actually try the game out for themselves before judging it on its resolution.
Following on from the report, Spencer was asked on Twitter about Quantum Break's 720p resolution, to which he replied: “I encourage you to try a game before you make any pre-judgements about what makes a game good or bad”.
This isn't the first 720p exclusive to hit Microsoft's console, Dead Rising 3 was part of the console's launch lineup and was also limited to 720p and 30 frames per second. However, there will be a PC version of Quantum Break right off the bat that will be able to run at higher resolutions, like 4K. The Digital Foundry report noted that the game was running at 1080p/30fps at a recent press event but Remedy expects to bump up the resolution by launch.
However, we do not know if the PC version of Quantum Break will be locked to 30 frames per second or not.
KitGuru Says: It is a shame to see a current generation console not managing to consistently deliver decent performance at 1080p. However, I imagine those that only game on an Xbox will still want to play Quantum Break regardless of the resolution. I am a little more concerned about the PC version though, which right now may end up being limited to 30 frames per second.
Next-gen, ain’t it great 😀
Nope.
Yes.
😀 ooooh you Microsoft loosers. Lock the game on 30fps, and i aint even touching this!
loosers? as opposed to tighteners?
First the confirmed UWP-exclusive gimp release on PC, a severely inferior Xbone version and now Phil Spencer essentially begging Xbots to try the game, lol. RIP half of Quantum Break’s sales. Micro$haft is going to RUIN this IP before it even takes off.
It’s Xbox 720 for 720p Gaming
After gears of war PC………microsoft have yet again screwed up a launch.
SLI/G-SYNC/V-SYNC/GAMESWORKS/DOWNLOADING ISSUES/NEVER HEARD OF AMD CARDs
So don’t care, won’t be getting it. (On PC)
How long does XBOX have anyway? MS are closing studio’s, not paying for exclusives.
Trying to reap a few extra euro’s from PC gamers and failing.
Still the same microsoft guy is running the show…from the failure that was the XBOX launch event till now.
JUST SWITCH TO PC.
He’s right, it’s all about the gameplay.
What is the gameplay like?
Meh, it’s another generic linear AAA story hollywood shooter game thing who cares. Look forward to the huge backlash the windows store gets for this being locked down.
Hate those faggots that actually complain about this stuff, everyone knows that Xbox One and PS4 are garbage consoles is it really a surprise that Quantum Break runs at 720p?
The only problem I have with the game are it’s Windows 10 exclusivity and it’s unusually high specs for PC considering DX12 was supposed to make your hardware more effective at running games and make it easier for devs to optimise a game for hardware, it leads me to believe that Quantum Break would run like shit
The fact that it’s a Windows Store only game and not available on Steam is not an issue, I play Uplay and GOG games independently from Steam on a regular basis so I don’t see the issue here. Once it’s available on my platform I don’t give a flying fuck, nobody has to make games for PC, considering it’s got such a low community compared to Xbone and PS4 I think it’s a miracle that developers care to bring their games to it
UNIVERSAL WINDOWS PLATFORM = NO BUY. All PC games should be released in w32 or w64 format. UWP = 10 steps backwards in PC evolution. It’s a Shame because i would’ve totally bought this game.
