LakotaDakota Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Digital foundry tech analysis & eurogamer tech comparisons. Xbox One X is the way to go with much higer resolution & better performance. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2018-red-dead-redemption-2-face-off?fbclid=IwAR1UG7ydLhOTOPDq2XluXP4BlAYUmQ40DXVhvBS7j0bedH2v3ldykFar5BA At the top of the stack sits Xbox One X, rendering natively on ultra HD displays and looking magnificent. Taking the runner-up position here is PlayStation 4 Pro, which uses a reconstruction technique - likely checkerboarding - to take a native 1920x2160 framebuffer up to 4K.

hogso Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 A review I've read from a trusted source gave it 9/10. A little too easy with a lack of interactivity with the narrative being the main points for the dropped mark. On a positive note the writing seems to be improved from GTAV (plus all of the stuff already pointed out). Roll on midnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Some reviews have focused on the scripted missions being a little frustrating. Apparently they have opted for a more Uncharted style cinematic presentation for quests which can leave the player failing the quest if they miss a cutscene trigger. It shouldn't be a huge issue, but it's something to watch out for when doing some of the games more set piece heavy quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I'm hyped. Got a bottle of whisky, ordering a pizza, and just going to play for hours tomorrow after work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as long as they aren't too regular I'm sure I'll be able to put up with it. Have to say it's been a long time since I was this excited to play a game. It does look like it could be close to a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakotaDakota Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Not sure what sony have done but seems to be a few reports of the base ps4 actually looking better than the pro running it on 4k screens. Something really doesn't look right with the pro version and just jump to a little over 5 minutes in on the video below to see the difference on X/PRO, Most comparison vids look maybe a little different but this looks like different generations of console.

hogso Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Played the first couple of hours or so. Slow paced, and I'm fine with that. It's honestly hard to comprehend some of the things you're looking at at times, it looks that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay.P.A Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 IGN have given this a perfect 10 rating. Called it a masterpiece. Can't flipping wait to get it after work!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 I really like the 'RPG' elements too, they don't impose themself too much, not like those in GTA SA, for example. It's a really immersive experience, and those systems aid themselves to that. As annoying as it may be when you leave behind your long guns on a horse, I actually like that! Also, the companion app is available now too. You can use it for a hud-less game, as it'll display the map with your real time in game location, and there's access to the journals and stuff. Pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
