XB1 4K Resolution? World of Tanks for XB1 announced

Theres an interview on the Xbox E3 Live app with a lead developer of World of Tanks. They announce crossplay with the 360 and that the game was built from the ground up for XB1 with 4K resolution. Not my type of game, but I tip my hat to them.

Yup. Read this earlier. Read it and weep baby cows.

E3 lost confirmed

Lol. Resolution is important again now?

LOL World of tanks.

Okami on PS3 is 4k downsampled

Power isn't important now?

Anyone else hear that Sony is remaking pong in 8K? LOL 4K

@draign: Well the consensus keeps changing. When PC gamers talk about it, console players say it isn't. When some PS4 and X1 game come out with a little higher resolution, the other fans say it isn't. I play most games on PC at 1440p, so I don't really pay attention to what's the current consensus. Hence the question.

Console players are foolish to argue about graphics with PC players. I just find it interesting that the weak piece of shit console that can't run games in 1080p, now has a game coming in native 4k resolution(supposedly).

LOL. It's almost a 5 year old game.

Not anymore, its built from the ground up for XB1.

Wow. Cows avoiding this thread like the fucking plague.

Aww it doesn't benefit me!

4K isn't the greatness they are waiting for.

Why waste the resources?

I mean it looks great with a lot of games but seems wasted here.

I'd much rather have 1080p @60fps

Well if this video is any indication, the backdrops are pretty damn amazing.

I can't wait to see how the framerate is.

While I agree with you.........to a point. Console (Xbox ONE) running games at 4K will bring this resolution mainstream. PC only still has it in that nerd niche zone. Not to offend, just stating our world we live in.

Especially being able to crossplay with 360 owners, Im sure the devs didn't keep framerate in mind.

xbone users didn't ask for this game, they didn't ask for free to play stuff like fable legends or neverwinter nights mmo or smite

xbone users asked for good games like ff7 remake, and no mans sky, uncharted 4, these games are what xb1 owners crave not what phil spencer is offering were done pretty much with the xb1

It look like an xbox game from 2002...lol

They are getting it anyway, and in 4K(supposedly).

@ProtossX: world of tanks was announced when the Xbox One was in its first year. Many ONE players who left 360 never got to play it. Their is interest, trust me.

Dont lie no more.

I guess 4K is better than the 792P they normally get with the bone.

Looks like a game at the graphical fidelity of a PS2 game is gonna run at a higher resolution than 720p. What a shocker, never thought the Xbone could do it. This is even a bigger joke than E3 conference was.

@ProtossX: Man you're salty these days. Just go ahead and get an XB1 already.

That's pretty impressive, looking forward to seeing how it all pans out.

It'll either run like shit or just won't happen. I own an Xbox one and it can't run 4k res.

Are you a game developer? Are you creating this game? Do you actually know what the technological limits are as a developer for this console?

Of course not, but you don't need to know all that because you own one, that clearly supersedes everything...

They found the second gpu guys

I know how video cards work and how Titans are having trouble running 4k res games with 60 fps. The power isn't there.

Get ahold of me when they can run their current games correctly in 1080p.

You know the extremely unoptimized capabilities of a non-ASIC general purpose PC setup which is not designed for gaming. Titan's have trouble running demanding games not designed specifically for them at 4K, this game was rebuilt for the Xbox One from the ground up and is not graphically demanding, big difference.

Kool-aid must taste good tonight.

Nothing stopping the Xbox One from outputting 4k. 4k is just the resolution the rendered image gets drawn in. If you reduce the amount of rendering you need to calculate each pixel by enough, you can render any game at 4k at a reasonable framerate on any modern platform. The trick is getting that framerate somewhere playable. If it takes you 3 seconds per frame to render, then you've got issues.

World of Tanks isn't what I would call a graphical powerhouse. Any modest PC rips through that game. It's not unbelievable that the Xbox One can run that game at 4k at probably 30fps.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Got a link? I want to read it.

Salty butthurt cow confirmed. lol!!! Win10/DX12 won't do anything. lmao!!

It's unbelievable. Just ask the cows who keep saying 1080P isn't possible on the XB1. Microsoft included a 4K HDMI cable with the XB1 for a reason. I doubt it was for World of Tanks only.

The Powah of One. :P

Cool news, I'll give it a try if it's still F2P.

The game looks pretty decent IMO, running that in 4K is impressive alright,

Still waiting for the link to the story.
