That's how low we've become?! Publishing non-reviews?!

GametechUK3249d ago

Yea you already left comments on my youtube video saying how low i am. Go outside and get some fresh air.

kraenk123249d ago (Edited 3249d ago )

There is an article on N4g about the actual terrible state gaming journalism is in these days. Go read it!

Rating a game without even having finished it is as low as can be, sorry.

Slanty3249d ago

@kraenk12 Guessing that's your age, how about you check out this article http://www.motherjones.com/...

@Slanty

It's my year of birth ignorant.

Why am I trolling?! I'm only critisizing and I have my reasons. Gaming journalism has become a shadow of what it once was.

MadMax3248d ago

You know perfectly well what you're doing, so no need to play stupid. YOU better watch giving false unprofessional, so called reviews on here man. You're just merely fishing for hits. Journalist my ass, lol! You're an Internet fake and a fraud who has just been exposed by some of the public here. Now go run along and don't attempt it again. You should be lynched!

Seems like just about anyone can write a review these days, and pretend it's legit! Even a troll like this. Weak review that doesn't count and should not be taken to heart. Joke!!!

GametechUK3249d ago

How am i a troll for posting a FIRST IMPRESSIONS review. You should be more careful leaving comments like this...

Slanty3249d ago

Jesus the keyboard warriors are out in full force today. Whats your problem guys? He has taken time making a free FIRST IMPRESSIONS video. They are the key words FIRST IMPRESSIONS, how about you guys get a grip and calm down a bit its only a gaming video lol

kraenk123249d ago (Edited 3248d ago )

@Slanty

No he doesn't. He calls it a review.
There is nothing like a First Impressions Review! Either it's the one or the other! You're just striving for clicks by pretending it being a review!

You were just tested on YouTube a moment ago by nicknasty14 and its proven, you are indeed a troll! What a pathetic form of human being you are. You want to give false and unprofessional opinions on games for clicks, then have the nerve to call others names and attack their channels? Lol like I said, you go ahead with all your gang of 2 minions on YouTube and leave all the comments you want on my videos, haha! I'm not there for subs or hits you pathetic loser! Bring it!

Looking back to the failed parkour of 2016's Mirror's Edge Catalyst

Kaan writes: "Mirror's Edge will likely never get a third try. The second game does not look like a cheap effort. By all accounts it is beautiful, especially with its FPS Boost enhancements. The city glows at nights and shines in the day. Lights will reflect off of Catalyst’s many structures made of glass. It’s spectacular to run through. But such a lavish production often comes with risk aversion and sadly Catalyst crumbles under this pressure. It’s held back by the pressure to conform, rather than trying to be genuinely different."

The parkour was great. It was just the story and characters didn't get interesting until the final moments and then it was to late.

FPS Boost at 120fps: Battlefield 1/4/5 - Titanfall 1/2 - Mirror's Edge Catalyst Tested

Digital Foundry: Microsoft's FPS Boost support expands again, this time with 120Hz upgrades for 12 games and a 60fps boost for one! We decided to check out the improvement to some of our favourite games in the line-up, including the three Battlefield games that are supported, Titanfall and Mirror's Edge Catalyst. Which consoles support which games, what's the performance really like and are there resolution compromises?

FPS boost is a nice feature. Cant wait for more games to get that.

Eonjay1463d ago

While FPS boost is nice, I feel like it is the bare minimum in upgrades and only helps those with 120 capable TVs. Most of these games are PC titles as well. These games should be patched to run high/ultra PC video setting.

ActualWhiteMan1464d ago

Microsoft is killing it. Meanwhile Sony only lets developers upgrade older games if they make a PS5 version. Which means, less games getting upgrades on Sony’s offering.

jukins1464d ago

Alternatively seems to be a focus on releasing newer games? People barely played the games before 120 fpsnisnt gong to change that. Not to mention the people with the capable tv.

Soon this will not be the case though, and all of these other added perks like 120fps on older games will just be other great additions and features that PS users do not have available to them. I think any additional updates to features for games is something that shouldn't be discredited. Once Microsoft starts rolling out the new games on a regular basis, this argument is not going to age well. For now, you are correct on the new game front, but that is all going to change here soon enough. Sure most argue the "Wait until E3" remark over and over, but that will certainly be a thing of the past with everything Microsoft is working on now. Good things come to those who wait is the way I look at it for now.

***Once Microsoft starts rolling out the new games on a regular basis, this argument is not going to age well.***

This argument hasn't aged well for a long time now.

foker1463d ago

They are really killing it,.. They haven't released a new first party game in 600 days if not more

SpineSaw1463d ago

Now wait that's not true. 600 days is looong time and they did release a few First Party games that no one played or no one can remember by name but you do make a good point and it don't really matter if its been 6 days or 6yrs for Xbox First Party what they've released has been poor at best.

Army_of_Darkness1463d ago (Edited 1463d ago )

@actualwhiteman

Killing it? Ms? Lmfao! Boosting fps on old last gen games on a new gen console while not releasing a single first party next gen game is killing it to you?! 🤣😂
Meanwhile.... Sony what? Oh has been focusing on releasing actual new first party games. Funny, you forgot to mention that part bud.

Christopher1463d ago

***Meanwhile Sony only lets developers upgrade older games if they make a PS5 version.***

Well, this is just factually incorrect. The Division 2 got an upgrade for PS5 but is running the PS4 version. Other games have had similar.

Man, that makes me want to reinstall the OG Titanfall... seeing people still playing it. Memories

Destiny10801464d ago

battlefield 4, 720p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer drops down to 98fps
battlefield 1, 792p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer locked
battlefield 5, 1080p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer locked
mirror's edge catalyst, 936p 120fps, campaign locked
titanfall 2, 810p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer locked, series s not so good
titanfall 1, 792p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer locked, no s support for this game

its better then nothing, if they were upped to 4k i would have been impressed, titanfall 1 looks so much better on Pc

darthv721464d ago

It is called "fps boost"... not "res boost"

Destiny10801463d ago (Edited 1463d ago )

titanfall 2, is 4k on the xbox one x, why not "fps boost"
Battlefield 1, is 4k on the xbox one x, why not "fps boost"

DJStotty1463d ago

"titanfall 2, is 4k on the xbox one x, why not "fps boost""

Erm, no

"In general, the One X plays out between 1440p and 1800p with rises to 4k (2160p) in quiet scenes with little activity."

On topic, this is a FPS boost, not a resolution patch so you did not need to add the resolutions for base vanilla xbox. BC normally uses the xbox one version, as opposed to the xbox one X "patched" version to answer your question about resolution.

Either way, all games will use the built in upscaler on either your TV, or the xbox series X to display an upscaled 4K image (not native).

That along with Auto-HDR should result in a good enough reason to replay these games at the new improved framerate.
