Digital Foundry: Quantum Break tech analysis

Found this quite interesting. DF goes over the tech.

Positives include

• high end Global Ilumination
• great quality assets
• big use of physics, being it environment destruction or with the time distortion effects as entire pieces of the environment warp.
• in-game character models look good. Obviosuly, the detail isn't 1:1 has the cutscenes, but it remains quite high in it's own right.

Negatives include

• temporal anti-aliasing (unless you prefer a somewhat blurry IQ for that filmic look)
• shadow quality
• alot of pop-in
• low res light shafts
• Hair quality

All of these negatives should be fixable in the PC version, except the hair.

Framerate analysis for latter

oh noes

Well no one enjoys low res shafts

Nathan Drake has better chest hair

OH YEAH!!!

Look they made good picks on which areas to focus on. Yeah, PC should fix the rest.

I'd give that article a 6/10

You guys are terrible lol

bruh

Shadow Resolution and better Draw Distance is what PC version needs to fix. Other than that, it already looks stunning.

Cool new modern engine on shit hardware, shit has to get scaled back somewhere.

Those shadows....

I always found this game to look great, and it's amazing how close the in game characters resemble the real actors.

Hopefully the PC version fixes the bad.

Fancy 720p, but let the lems attempt to tell us different.

Dat 6 though!

Dat 720p tho'

yeah,i hope the pc version isn't fucked like these others w10 games.

If it can disable the TAA i can see it match Battlefront for best overall graphics so far (haven't seen RoTR)

How they take 6 years to make something you beat in a week and say... meh after you beat it xD

I know gaming is going downhill but damn... i remember the days of their best game... Max Payne 1. That game left me saying... BEAST!!! How long it take them to create that beast game... 1 or 2 years? Damn i need to play it again soon, not waste my time with QB lol

@KillzoneSnake: Games take much longer to make nowadays. 6 years is too much for this title, but 2 years is too fast now

@deadline-zero0: True, i'd also rather have no AA, than AA that makes my game blurry.

But yeah the PC version had a AA on/off option. So it's probably TAA or no AA.

Far Cry Primal on PC is also a real looker. Can't wait to see QB on PC :)

Shit, i forgot about how they have AA on/off. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Does it really matter at this point? Not only is this the first and only 720p title in 2016 but its also a 6/10 game.

Yeah it's really sad, it's the same with Final Fantasy. If these companies would just focus more on gameplay and overall fun than on graphics, we'd get much better games.

Better than Mark Cerny? You know who might argue

Now I know why most of the cutscenes have people walking into or away from the camera, if something goes across the camera the illusion is broken.

QB is a fraud lem hype
