For Honor getting the 4K treatment with Xbox One X Enhanced patch tomorrow

For Honor is set to get a whole lot prettier on Xbox One X with a bump up to 4K and improved visuals.

[Gazondaily]

Beastly!

[TheVetOfGaming]

It definitely is a powerful console. As a PlayStation player, I have to admit that it has the power and some good tools in its box. It pretty much guarantees that next gen will be 4k as standard, and that's a good thing for gamers.

[andydalum]

I've always wondered why people think 4k standard is a good thing. Gameplay should ALWAYS be ahead of graphics i'll take a game like skyrim and would rather it play better than be prettier but i guess that is just my opinion after all.

[ocelot07]

@andydalum

You are spot on. 4K is nice and all but if 4K is going to be the standard in the PS5/Nextbox. Then it's jut going to be this gen all over again just with higher resolution.

For the PS5 I rather they guarantee that all games will be at the bare minimum 1080p 60fps. Than go on about 4K.

[Obscure_Observer]

Another AAA game running at 4K on Xbox One X in comparisson to 1440p on the Pro?

This is massive!

[Kribwalker]

it’s only a little bit more power 😜

especially with this
Improved Water Reflections
Improved Distance Level of Detail Improved Shadow Resolution
Improved Texture Filtering

[Professor_K]

You said a little

But now that seems like a lot!

[GUTZnPAPERCUTZ]

Well 1.8 TFLOP (PS4 GPU Equivalent) power gap gives you 4k, 12gb fast RAM gives you all the bells and whistles to make it prettier and faster CPU makes sure you get a decent frame rate at 4k with extra bells and whistles ;)

I hate to be the party pooper here and I'm not dogging the X, but "another AAA game???" Didn't For Honor completely flop and now has an average of about 3 regular players on the servers??

[C-H-E-F]

let them have their victory, they deserve it it's been 5 long years you know. lOl

It is funny to add 720p sometimes 900p (xbox one games) --> 1800p (ps4 pro) they said ehh it's barely noticeable but 1440p(ps4 pro) --> 2160(xox pro) they can see so much difference.

[TankCrossing]

It had all kinds of peer 2 peer issues, and exploits dominating all the competitions and stuff.

Still, after-the-fact ubisoft moved it all to dedicated servers, and Ubi do seem to be pretty good as far as supporting their online games is concerned.

I'm still tempted to give it a go. Not 'full-price' tempted though :)

[Obscure_Observer]

@bloop

Do you even know what an "AAA game" mean, dude?

[bloop]

@Obscure: IMO a AAA game is usually a big budget blockbuster, but more importantly actually delivers on quality too. You could even argue that a AAA game doesn't even need to have that big budget, take Hellblade for instance. When I do think AAA, games like Uncharted, Gears, Halo, Horizon, GTA come to mind. Games that actually lived up to expectation. For example, I wouldn't call The Order or BF:II triple A as they didn't deliver a triple A experience but still had huge budgets. Similar to For Honor. Anywho, as I said I'm not dogging on the X. It's a mighty impressive bit of kit and I will definitely be picking one up in the near future.

Out of interest, what do you consider to be the definition of a AAA game then??

[Obscure_Observer]

@bloop

"Out of interest, what do you consider to be the definition of a AAA game then??"

It is what it is. A big budget game. An expensive video game to develop funded totally or partially by a large company/publisher. Quality, popularity or critical acclaim has nothing to do with.

Think about Mass Effect Andromeda for instance. We could say that game lacks quality, popularity or critical acclaim. But, no one can´t deny that it´s a genuinely AAA game.

[KingKionic]

True splendor xbox gamers.

The rivers continue to stream straight gold.

*Raises chalice *

[OffRoadKing]

This game is what you consider to be "straight gold" um ok.

[BlacKJesu5]

Right......i stay out the way for the most part but these lames are getting overly excited over trash games getting support

[Black0ut]

Can't wait to see how this looks! Add another to the list guize 👌

[maybelovehate]

Cool, I guess.. Not really a game I care about. But... Destiny 2 will get updated tomorrow! Oh yeah

[NoPeace_Walker]

Destiny 2 is native 4K and HDR on the X! The patch is already out.

[maybelovehate]

Taking the day off haha, so excited

[Obscure_Observer]

@NoPeace_Walker

"Destiny 2 is native 4K and HDR on the X! The patch is already out."

Wow! I heard that Destiny 2 would run at checkerboard 4K on the X. Just like the PS4 Pro.

Have a source for that?

[NoPeace_Walker]

Obscure_Observer,

Bungie confirms it in their patch note today.

https://www.bungie.net/en/E...
4K and HDR Support:

1. Upgraded resolution to adaptive 4K with high dynamic range on the PlayStation 4 Pro

2. Upgraded resolution to 4K with high dynamic range on the Xbox One X

[Obscure_Observer]

@NoPeace_Walker

Thank you! Great news! Cheers!

[Dlaw76]

You taking the day off really bruh

[maybelovehate]

Yup! Well technically most of the day off, currently at work. But not for long

[Shineon]

Thats it might be getting a one x for a 3rd party console, need something simpler than my PC that shows off my 4k tv

[TankCrossing]

Would have been nice if they'd confirmed this last week, while the game was reduced on the Black Friday sale. Fortunately I'm not short of things to play, so I can wait until it comes back down :)

[obidanshinobi]

Does anyone play this game still ?
Don't mean to be facetious, just can't imagine many people still playing it.

[TankCrossing]

Ubisoft support their online games really well. For Honor, The Division, Rainbow 6 Siege are all still going pretty strong. Even the real flops like The Crew and Steep get decent support.

Credit where it's due.

[mellkor]

Sony offer you new exclusive games Microsoft can offer you old games in 4K... shameful

[Enjoigamin]

I own a pro. Playing the first ni no because i never played it on ps3 and my ps3 took a shit I want the 2nd ni no when it comes out and was basically forced to buy ps now because sony thinks that BC is irrelvant ....so yeah i wish sony would offer me old games that are updated and in 4k. Shameful....Anyways someone get this pony a tissue!!!!

[LateNightThirst]

Didn't realize Sea of Thieves, Crackdown 3, State of Decay, PUBG and others aren't new games....oh wait you're a troll

[Lighter9]

How many external hard drives will you need?

[coolbeans]

All the external hard drives. ;)

[TheColbertinator]

The beast

[Trueflames]

The beast strikes again

[Elda]

Old. Next.

[boing1]

Hahaha. I just love reading comments since XBX launched. Everyone's so petty. It's amazing how a piece of hardware can turn you into a bigot.

[aaronaton]

Another turd getting polished tomorrow.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

That'll be awesome for the 5 people that own this game :3

[Gunstar75]

I've been really impressed by the x1x updates. Suuuuure, they take forever to download, but I can now see why PlayStation fans were such bitches in 2013 when it came to resolution, except now the gulf is absolutely enormous.

It truly is a beast and all console gamers need to buy one

[Vectrexer]

Definitely Far and Away the best console experience for this game as with EVERY other AAA third party game!

[aaronaton]

Third party, Third best. True parity from Microsoft.

[Bandit50]

Yep ...sure am glad of my 4k tv purchase !! my one x is a beast and moving forward its only going to get better , my pro is no slouch but its not on the same league as the one x but thats how it is.

[Donnie81]

For honor looks really nice!

[frostypants]

This will be thrilling to the 10 people who still play this game.

[TheOttomatic91]

No HDR support? :(

[quent]

So a 4K turd?

[dunnyone]

Isn't it still a broken mess of peer-to-peer nonsense?

[OffRoadKing]

People still play this game?
