I expect 720p on base Xbox One.

OpenGL2136d ago

How does that make a hater? One X runs it at 1/2 of 4K and it was 900p on regular PS4. Unless they seriously optimized it or reduced visual quality it stands to reason that the regular Xbox One version will be less than 900p.

AgeInTheCage2136d ago

Phil says games play best on xboxone. He never made it clear if it was x or s, all he said is all games play best on xboxone.

Darkwatchman2136d ago

Don’t mind the haters. They can’t accept that the base Xbox One already has 720p games like Battlefield 4, Hardline, and Mirror’s Edge. And routinely pulls in a lower resolution than the base PS4 for more demanding games. If it’s already ONLY 900p on standard PS4 and ONLY 1080p on PS4 pro, no way it’s hitting 900p on base Xbox One. Considering how poorly optimized this game is, 720p is a hopeful outcome for the base Xbox One.

gamer78042136d ago

if anyone cares at all about resolution they should get an xbox one x then, if not just enjoy a great game at a lesser resolution, the choice is up to the player what they want to play it on.

Homunculus2131d ago

lol why so many downvotes? Its a fact, its 900p on PS4, 720p will the minimum for normal XOne

So it’s basically the same game......but really do hope the Xbox fans pick this game up, it’s really good.

jagermaster6192136d ago

Yeah it's basically the same but better! I have it pre-ordered and ready to go on my x.

mrmikew20182136d ago

I hope what you’re saying is true, it’s really a good game.

2135d ago
jagermaster6192135d ago

@mr.mike
What I'm saying is 100% true. I've wanted it ever since it was announced for the PS4. As soon as the pre-order when live for Xbox I purchased it.

Sm00thNinja2136d ago

Basically the same game but... One is rendered at 4k and the other locked at 1080p. Not really the same game

DaGreatOne2136d ago

Is that your stance on all games prior to the mid gen systems as well?

Sm00thNinja2136d ago (Edited 2136d ago )

Yes? If one is clearly superior? Tomb raider was better on Pro than Xbox One when the definitive edition hit which is why I REBOUGHT IT. But then the Xbox One version. Got the X enhancement so they're even Stevens again

To say otherwise is ridiculous. I platinumed Nier on PS4 I'll definitely playthrough the X version

Someday if it ever releases in physical format. Not on board with digital yet

kevnb2136d ago

having a higher render resolution doesnt make it a different game...

Sm00thNinja2136d ago

No one said different in that sense are you dense? Those early PS4 v Xbox comparisons where the PS4 rendered games at 1080p and the Xbox One was stuck at 720p we're huge differences. The difference between 1080p and 2160p or checkerboard 4k is massive.

I could never go back to my standard PS4 after playing on my Pro. Or I wouldn't want to if I didn't have to experience it in standard high definition.

I know it's hard to say that the Xbox version is superior but .... 4k vs 1080p. Big difference. Although the PS4 has a physical edition package so that wins in my book

DarXyde2135d ago

You're arguing that resolution will make a game "not the same"?

Last I checked, The Last of Us on PS3 and PS4 are the same. So is Gravity Rush on Vita and PS4. And Rise of the Tomb Raider on any platform.

Sm00thNinja2135d ago

@DarXyde then your stance is simply a matter of opinion last you checked.

I bought The Last of Us on PS4 and PS3. Why? One was 60fps and one was 30. Sure the game itself has the same content but if my experience is different...

If the initial argument was whether I should purchase the game again on Xbox One because the content is the same then YES THE GAME IS UNCHANGED from the PS4 version, but to be able to play that in 4k vs 1080p? I'd pay money to experience that game again. Nier Automata was my GOTY last year from the soundtrack to the story.

rainslacker2136d ago

Being the same game is certainly a good reason to play it. Resolution or performance aside, it's an awesome game.

cliveo322136d ago (Edited 2136d ago )

DF just tested this said its only 1920 by 2160 half native 4k with maybe chequerboard upscale good game what ever you play it on tbh

2136d ago
himdeel2136d ago

Xbox people better support. Can't complain about not getting games if you're not supporting what you get

ZwVw2136d ago

Xboxers shouldn't complain that they're getting a game a year overdue and lacking a physical release?

manabyte772136d ago (Edited 2136d ago )

No they should be thankful they’re getting a Japanese game that will likely see only a mild return at best at all. Xbox fans don’t like to hear the truth, but they don’t support games unless they’re highly Westernized. Sunset Overdrive’s sales we’re a travesty, and that game was both western and fantastic.

j15reed2136d ago

Well by the estimates it only sold 1.5 mil on PS4 so it shouldn't have to sell much to cover the port on Xbox.

mark_parch2135d ago

I will 100% be picking this up but after I've finished with crash bandicoot and state of decay 2

I feel like Yoko is downgrading Automata because he has expressed multiple times he'd like to revisit the universe, but Squenix hasn't been keen about it. We know he loves 2B and would love to take her out for another spin, so maybe this is how he gets the company to think about it.

gold_drake10d ago

u do realise that Square made Nier a franchise after Automata right?

Taro is downplaying it cause hes not a snob like most of the directors that think their games are gods gifts to the human race.

he said the same thing when being interviewed during the development of Automata too, that he couldnt have done it without the devs.

hes just a humble guy rly.

shadowhaxor10d ago

I mean, Neir existed before Automata with both OG Niers and Drakenguard. I don't count NieR Replicant, since it's a remake of the OG games. Sure, we have Reincarnation, which is still stuck on mobile devices (quite a damned shame). I just remember Taro saying he'd love to revisit Automata if Square Enix lets him. I do recall there was supposed to be a sequel to Automata, but it wasn't confirmed and I'd imagine it was just for Reincarnation.

Enjoy Taro, he seems like a cool guy, who loves the ladies and is humble. But damn, don't put down one of your masterpieces.

Cacabunga10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

I really liked Automata and cannot wait for Stellar Blade

isarai10d ago

I get he's giving them some credit, but i strongly disagree based on the demo. I honestly don't think any aspect of it feels good, it's not bad, it's just kinda ok but definitely a little jank. Also the souls like formula it is adopting does not help it imo. I was looking forward to this for years, now im just kinda let down honestly 🫤

fsfsxii7d ago

Its not a souls like, its a dmc-ish game with rpg elements. Any game with a third person camera and a sword is souls like to these buffoons

H910d ago

Man exputer can you stop putting words like that after someone's name, i read Yoko Taro Passes and just went blank

Snookies1210d ago

Same... Awful way to word that title's beginning.

exputers9d ago

Whoops. Sorry to startle you.

H99d ago

It's alright brother, maybe I am just slow

Hereandthere10d ago

Thats because Sony had a heavy hand in funding and developing this game.

purple10110d ago

They sent in XDEV one of their traveling support studios to Korea to lend a hand if I’m not mistaken, Sony pulled out the big guns to help this studio

jwillj2k410d ago

(From the demo) Stellar has better direction in terms of stage layout if you like that ninja gaiden type feel. Nier is more polished by far.

Is Square’s ethics department gonna insert themselves into this one?

CrimsonWing6960d ago

They weren’t around “last time.”

isarai61d ago

Yoko Taro doesn't play that sh!t

61d ago
Dirty_Lemons61d ago

If it can be done right then amazing, yes please. Yoko Taro seems to change it up each time so I'm curious what a 'sequel' really means.

blackblades61d ago

Either way hope he learns and give her more outfits like Stella got.

vTuro2461d ago

On a sidenote assuming this is indeed Nier 3 then I kinda wonder if Yoko Taro will stick to his guns of creating new characters and stories each time, or if he'll continue with 2B & co due to their skyrocketing in popularity. I guess he'll probably do whatever Squeenix pays him to do lol, but I'm hoping for the former. 2B and her gang got a decent enough conclusion (especially for a Yoko game) and I feel like continuing their story would ruin it.

vTuro2461d ago

Actually, now that I think about it, a new Nier game would technically be Nier 4 since the gacha Reincarnation was declared as the sequel to Automata and is therefore Nier 3.

Dirty_Lemons60d ago

Oh man, that game was a slog. Graphics and music were excellent though, and it's nice directly strongly to Automata.

Red3f1ned60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

Tifa is a good sign. There's at least some hope, lads.
Just maybe they'll leave things alone.

Plus, like people are saying - Taro don't play that sh*t.
