Did the Xbox One prevent Quantum Break from being a technical marvel?

I really noticed the ghosting when I first started the game, but had gotten used to it after playing a while. I can see why Remedy did the upscaling.

Still, I'd rather have seen the game without it and wished that the PC version was built from the ground up.

So did the Xbone limit the power available for this game ... yeah, perhaps it did.

It was supposed to be the game that would be challenging Uncharted 4 for graphics king on console. Now a month after its release it seems as if it is only a distant memory. It didn't even beat Tomb Raider on Xbox One. Now with the latest Digital Foundry video crowning Uncharted 4 as the emperor of console graphics, Quantum Break seem extremely underwhelming.

If it were released on the PS4, do you guys think it could have traded blows with Uncharted 4? Not in terms of gameplay mind you as it seems to be two or three notches below but purely in terms of being a visual showcase.

If that was the case no doubt it would have been superior to UC4 just due to the massive power of PC and the fact that QB is actually a ground up current gen game not held to the restraints of last generation hardware.

All ribbing aside, I am actually impressed with what they created in Quantum Break on xbone, but clearly they were trying to push for more than what the system could handle graphically and ended up making the game suffer for not maximizing what it could actually achieve unlike what ND did with UC4 for PS4 hardware.

lol no need to get cheeky buddy, I come here the same as you for da system wars shits giggles and info leaks. Any one who frequents this board on a regular basis becomes a part of the system wars mini-society so everyone here "live off this stuff".

If not and you think yourself above others who come and engage in the system wars mud slinging contests (which you do quite often), why don't you remove yourself from posting here so you can show everyone you are above all this "stuff".

Otherwise don't try to come off as if your aren't just another average biased, mud slinging, trash talking system wars reject. However you aren't going to leave system wars and stop posting here because we all know (in your own words) "you live off this stuff".

No the X1 didn't limit anything cause Remedy knew the specs of the X1 before hand. It wasn't like MS surprised them with it before they decided to start making the game and QB is a very good looking game. Uncharted is definitely one of the best looking games this gen for sure but that doesn't diminish what Remedy did with QB. QB is a good looking game but Uncharted is just phenomenal.

It limit it so much that even on freaking PC every single resolution is reconstructed using the same cheap trick the xbox one use.

On PC is you are on 1080p you are not really on 1080p,is a reconstruction from 720p.

This ^^ doesn't happen on PC,even better looking games than Quantum Break don't resort to those kind of tricks,so yeah that bad the game was hold back by xbox one hardware.

The reconstruction can now be disabled on PC, it is ridiculously demanding on 1080p, I can't get acceptable frames on 1440p w/o dropping settings

@tormentos:

You're a game designer? A game developer or made any games on the X1 or PC for that matter lol. How do you know anything about them being limited, did they ever come out and say they were limited?
