Press Play: Xbox One GPU to be Competitive For Many Years, Curse of Brotherhood Runs At 1080p/60fps

GamingBolt were able to get in touch with Press Play studio director, Mikkel Thorsted to talk about the next gen platformer.

Game looks great and has some great platforming having watched their previous work this gameplay ---> http://www.youtube.com/watc... Man I need to get more into platforming games :) Will try when it comes out on X360.

[BattleTorn]

I can't wait to get Max on Xbox One tomorrow!

I got into platformers really late. Like, playing R&C:aCiT last summer - I now love nearly all them.

My favorite nextgen game might actually be Knack. (that statements shows how new I am to platformers :P)

[lastofgen]

it's pretty surprising it's coming out this friday.
definitely a good christmas surprise. :)

1080P 60FPS on small non resource hogging games maybe.

Xbox One is already suffering 1080P on more resource demanding games. Only way Xbox is achieving 60fps is downgrading graphics and effects.

[mikeslemonade]

This isn't evidence for "Xbox one gpu to be competitive for many years".

It's a sidescrolling game. Donkey Kong game can rival this game.

[gcolley]

@ GameNameFame - 2 words... launch games.

[windblowsagain]

By the looks of that game, it should run 4k 60fps,lol.

[4Sh0w]

No that should be Knack.

[Eonjay]

The Xbox gamers need to appreciate ever effort being made to make the Xbox a viable platform. They paid more money, they should at least get some content in 1080P. COD may be too much for now, but these smaller scale titles will look great on the Xbox as they would on any contemporary platform.

The game does look fun btw. I would definitely play.

[Mister_Dawg]

Why should xbox gamers appreciate every effort being made to make the xbox a viable platform?
That statement just stinks of a Sony fanboy.

[Eonjay]

Because for the price you got a TV box with a built in video game system. Its nice that they are going to still try to make it seem like a viable option for gamers. You don't have to be a fanboy to speak the truth. Be grateful they even bothered. You wanted TV didn't you? You got TV. Now you want games to? Well damn. You would have gotten a game console if thats what you wanted.
Stop being a brat and be grateful.

[BattleTorn]

He's absolutely correct.

People who want high quality games (in 1080p) should be sure to support the 1080p content that gets provided.

There isn't really a lot of 1080p on Xbox One as of now. And 1080p games getting poor support will only reinforce the direction Microsoft is taking, which is slowly away from being gaming-focused..

[Mister_Dawg]

@Eonjay

Ok Sony lover. The XB1 is nothing more than TV box with a few gaming features tagged on as an after thought. Was any of your post an original thought or are you just a sheep following all the Sony masses?

I suppose you should be totally pissed at owning a PS4. Having all that 'gaming' console power and the developers couldn't be bothered to make any decent launch games to show it off.
I guess you should just be grateful they even bothered to make any games at all.

Don't be an immature person and be grateful for what you have, as many don't have much at all.

[mhunterjr]

The games are what make a console a viable console for gamers, and and there has never been an indication that the Xbox one wouldn't have good games on it...

If you think 1080p is required to make something viable to a gamer, then you aren't a typical gamer. MOST of us put fun above all else.

[BattleTorn]

Who created this paradigm that games are either fun or graphical?

Aka Gameplay vs Graphics.

Cause whenever someone argues for gameplay>graphics, or "fun above all else" - it comes off as saying graphics don't matter.
And same goes for graphics whores. (which I am admittely)

Why can't we have both? Graphics and gameplay?

Why can't games be immense fun, and look great?

[mhunterjr]

@battleTorn

No one is implying that graphics don't matter. I'm stating the FACT that graphical potential has NEVER been the determining factor in what makes a game system 'viable'.

It's always been about whether or not people enjoy playing the games that are available for it.

There are many cases, where a games graphics make the experience more enjoyable. But there are MANY MORE cases where the most well received games aren't the prettiest, or available on the most powerful system.

Why did the ps2, dominate its generation? Why is the 3ds crapping all over the ps vita? Neither of those devices could muster the graphics of its competition, but people still flocked to them... Because that's where the fun was to be had.

[4Sh0w]

ding, ding, ding, ding= you are correct mhunterjr

[Mister_Dawg]

Here here.

A person of common sense and reason.

[staticdash22]

A microsoft developer speaking good about the console his game will release in a few days.

Am I missing something? Just saying lol

[Sheikah]

On top of that, The entire dev team at Press Play were given Xboxes, courtesey of Microsoft :) not a bad gift, I wish game devs where given more freebies like that - but comments from devs, praising the companies they are owned by...? I wouldn't trust such a comment to be neutral... That gies both ways, Btw.

[staticdash22]

I see what you did there lol

"Gies"

[AngelicIceDiamond]

@Dash Because Sony, Nintendo and all major devs do it allll the time.

Yeah you missed Business 101 go learn how it works.

[lastofgen]

so the next time naughty dog, gg, or any other first party sony studio say something positive about the ps4, you won't change your stance?
I assume you will show the same sort of "brush aside/rolling eyes" attitude with them as well, right?

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I am really looking forward to Max. Wish this site would have spent more time talking to the dev about the game than stupid flame-bait questions about the GPU being competitive.

[lastofgen]

yeah, same here.
I honestly hate it when conversations center around the visuals/specs and whatnot.
I'd rather hear more about the gameplay aspects, challenges, making the game, etc.

[stuna1]

Really does it matter as far which is more powerful? No it Doesn't! I thought it did too. But seriously Microsoft are going to get the developers that they want on board on board, just like Sony will get the developers they want on board. In the end they are two different machines, made by different companies, and if there are titles on the competing system you want, you are either suck it up and buy the competing console or, do without! Plain and Simple, unless of course you try to wait it out in hopes that it comes to your system, but still there's no guarantee.

I´ve grown tired of the quest for power that will always increase, all that should really matter to any of us is being well fed on games, and let the rest sort itself out.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

With your comment there is hope for this site yet. Hopefully you can educate others now.

I'm gald you see it for what it really is.

[MegaRay]

I think power does matter when your buying a weaker console for 100 dollar more.
However to each his own, I myself wont upgrade till later next year, and by then if xb1 isnt cheaper or atleast equal to a PS4 then my next-generation console is surely is PS4 (unless WiiU surprise us all)

[fr0sty]

I agree. For someone who doesn't care about Kinect, paying $100 more for less is not a good value. Even if it were $400, I'm still paying the same for less. Give me a kinect free XO at $350, then we'll talk.

[Antwan3k]

The Xbox One costs more but also does more.. Universal voice controls, full body motion tracking, live TV integration, "snap view" multitasking, more apps, and etc are typically reasons enough to justify the extra money..

in time, the consoles will roughly cost the same thanks to pricedrops.. But in the meantime, the "you're paying $100 more for a weaker console" argument just isn't accurate when ALL the features of the consoles are considered..

some people may not care for those extra features and that's fine.. That doesn't discredit the many people who DO care about those types of features tho..

[nategrigs]

Looks good. The xbone needs more of this type of game

[saber00005]

As an IT guy, regardless of what item you have.. In the computer field, 5 years is the max of when things will become outdated.

[Volkama]

Edit: reply was boring. Deleted.

[saber00005]

Have an upvote....

[sandman224]

I hope it runs 1080p 60 frames. The game looks like last gen.

[assdan]

Sorry, but this is hilarious. The xbox one is not powerful because it can run some games in 1080p at 60fps. Framerate and resolution are determined by the dev. They trade those for better physics, textures etc. The ps3 can run games at 60fps 1080p.

[mmj]

All MS studio titles will sacrifice graphics so they can brag about being 1080P/60fps, the AAA multiplats will run at 720P and MS will say that gameplay is what matters.

[jacksjus]

So MS decided to release the superior version first on X1 before releasing the inferior version on the 360?
Great sales pitch MS. Smh!
