We need a thread stating nobody will pay more than $25 for remasters, after what this developer accomplished and offer such a compelling price

Can't really say much since I played the PC version on my mega ultimate computer. But I'm really glad that they updated the xbone's resolution to 912p. It may be incremental, but it's better than 900p. too bad I thought the games were horrible, so I won't get to try this in all it's 912p greatness.

I'd rather have a steady frame-rate and 1080p...

Sorry, you have to pick one or the other, or say 'PC lol'
Glad to see 4A Games concentrating on a rock solid framerate regardless of the resolution it's running at. That's something I've learned to appreciate more and more over the years, framerate > resolution. Then again that's why I tend to play on PC mostly these days, got my copies preordered. Can't wait. (especially as I never got any of the DLC)
no shit?
Bullshit. I enjoy the console gaming experience a hell of a lot more than I do my current PC gaming experience.
Just because there's a platform out there that that could technically 'smoke' the console games in terms of visual quality, does not mean that this is not a discussion worth having. They are completely different platforms.
It felt like nobody was talking about this release, to the point that I started to question if it was really coming this year, and suddenly the last few days there's all this news.
Only played some of the first one on 360 because I just had an old Mac at the time, and while the game seemed great the technical issues really got in the way of my enjoyment.
But this looks like it will be genuinely playable on PS4.

Obviously. I quoted the person above for a reason, especially if they were implying that the PS4 version was running 1080p/unlocked fluctuating frame rate i.e Tomb raider/Infamous/etc. The article has given the impression that its rock solid across both platforms, so I would rather go for the one that is 1080/60.
That truly rock solid 60fps is fantastic on both consoles, big fan of 4A's commitment to that, especially on the Xbox One.
I'm at the point where I am totally fine with 900p games going forward so long as it means solid frame rates. No way in hell would I sacrifice that locked 60fps for a small boost in resolution for this game, 4A made the right call.

It's pretty clear you're using this thread to make yourself feel better about your console purchase. Don't worry, you're Xbox One was worth it.
The game on Xbone runs at 900p@60fps when compared to the 672p@30fps that the 360 runs at, has much better graphics and a much improved first game and it's not worthy to be called a "remake" just because it isn't 1080p? lol.

Dat 21p difference.
It's probably chosen because the frame buffer fits perfectly into the available RAM at that resolution.

Im buying it on XB1, I wasn't implying anything about the PS4 version or anything on PS4.. All I said was if they had the choice between 1080p and fluctuating frame-rate or 900p and 60 without big drops, i'd rather they did the latter.
Not everything is console wars and digs at other platforms. It was a singular statement about the XB1 version.
If they can get 1080p and 60fps then great and its good for PS4 owners they have done that, definitive version, etc but seemingly for technical reasons/hardware limitations or whatever they couldn't on XB1 and i'd rather have frame-rate than resolution if theres a trade-off and 900p is fine with me.

Sounds like an incredible remaster. 4A Games are wizards. This is one of those games I feel good about buying day one to support those guys, especially knowing the difficulties they've had to overcome during development:

Actually yes, it's like when I go back to old c64 arcade conversions and remember how much I was bitching about wonderboy having black skies, or some other game lacking shadows or parallax etc. but in retrospective that didn't make the experience worse.

For example the clothing animations in the opening of Ground Zeroes are canned.

ms sent their crew there and is a 30FPS game, we have yet to see if there are going to be any visual compromise in the final product too
btw, i could never play it on my ps3 because it had a horrible screen tearing. will buy it when they put this up in the store
I actually copy and pasted the 921p from the first post, so that's why everyone kept saying 921p instead of 912p. Blame the first poster!

Getting tired of these posts, it's nothing but thread derailing. "there exists something far better so all comparisons between yourselves are invalid" gotta love the silly narrative, technical differences between consoles are gonna be discussed no matter what can be achieved on a non fixed non console platform like the pc.
Indeed, I'd also add that the character redesigns aren't up to snuff either being made more cliché for mass appeal.
That said I still liked it, not as much as 2033 but I'll be getting both on PS4. This is how remasters should be done and at a good price (take note Naughty Dog).
I don't know what is more sad...JAYSIMPLE now playing the "it's all about the gameplay" card when he said that he won't buy DC because of the jaggies and the side track textures that felt off or you digging at this guy's post history to find this post from 3 months ago?
They all play the same game. Id say there's no real issue with having that discussion either, especially in a digital foundry thread.
In fact, digital foundry feels the same;

Not sweating it, I keep the Troll shotgun at the ready. I have an X1 too OptimusPayn3. Was planning on the X1 version, but I was unaware of the weird res they had to go with. Just going to stick with exclusives this gen apparently.

Find me a $399 PC that can perform like the PS4 and then we can ibclude, otherwise PC has no place in this comparison
Did you forget about the 300+ extra dollars you'll be paying to use the Internet on your console already? Come on now.
Let's not get into these silly cyclical arguments again, because then we will devolve into the same silly semantics.

And people were complaining that 4A didn't do enough to justify a 50% discount on PC for previous owners. This seems to be a complete overhaul of both games with 4A doing an outstanding job on the technical front.
May double dip in the future. We'll see.

Meh, already played both versions on PC so not much of a change to warrant a purchase.
What in that article screams major overhaul about Last Light beyond graphics / framerate boosts over the PS3 version? That's pretty much the only thing they touch on.
