Come on, Best Buy, you louse.

But then they wouldn't have been able to have the inevitable sequel Middle-earth: The Fields of Ithilien or whatever.

They should have just branded it LOTR: Shadow of Mordor if they're going to go that route.

MS friend playing the game isn't too happy with the image. Says it's definitely nowhere close to 60fps that he can feel, feels it's much closer to 30. Image is somewhat blurry, "extremely so" at some points, on foliage especially. Distinct lack of AA too. I guess we'll find out Tuesday.

I guess that explains why they weren't sending out XBO review copies or talking about that version.

720p/30fps confirmed then?

 

[antitrop]

720p/30fps confirmed then?

Nah, could very well be 900p with an unlocked framerate that varies between 30 and 50 or something like that and still fit the description.

 

[RoboPlato]

720p/30fps confirmed then?

Sounds like variable resolution and framerate with little to no AA.

 

[hwy_61]

Sucks for Xbox One owners if its as bad as the MS friend is describing. Oh well.

Sucks for Xbox One owners without a PS4

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

PS4 seems like the big winner here.

Superior performance, exclusive content, you can't lose.

 

[Dead Prince]

720p/30fps confirmed then?

I'm going with a random 866p with unlocked 30

True. I'm fortunate enough to have both!

 

[matrixman92]

I have both, but I will probably end up going for xbox one. Gotta use my 230 dollars from that gamestop promotion before it expires lol

This game has exclusive content for the PS4 version? What is that?

LMAO... damn you made out!


Fuck, I'd have no problem getting "free" games regardless of lesser performance.

Haha, sounds good! If there's anyway they could patch it so it looks less blurry, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, I guess. But maybe that's now quire how that works...

 

[neurophd]

If true this is disappointing, will wait to play if I get a PS4 someday. Not excited by the AC/Batman mechanics, but the Nemesis system is intriguing.

 

[UnrealEck]

It's the 'big' winner if the rumours of Xbone's 720p resolution and 30 frames per second performance are true and if you only have an Xbone and PS4 to play it on.

 

[fedexpeon]

The game is coming out soon and no one knows the specs for x1?

 

[antitrop]

The game is coming out soon and no one knows the specs for x1?

The devs were specifically asked on a stream and completely avoided the question, from what I'm aware of.

PS4 isn't confirmed, but targeting 1080p/60, I guess. (1080/variable wouldn't surprise me)

Flashbacks from last gen... :/

 

[Solidsoul]

This X1 news is making me very sad.

Tuesday should be fascinating.

You get a few exclusive missions, similar to Watch Dogs' exclusive content.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014...lusive-playstation-pre-order-extras-detailed/

In these exclusive missions, you’ll go head-to-head with the deadly Blood Hunters, and the fearsome Flesh Burners, two of the most savage Warbands in all of Mordor (and two groups of hunters determined to personally bring your head to Sauron).

 

[drotahorror]

Is there still no concrete word on if the ps4 version is 60 or close to it? (How could so many reviews be out but not mention it?

cancelled my amazon order and went digital on psn.

This game has exclusive content for the PS4 version? What is that?

From Gamespot;
According to a post on the PlayStation Blog from developer Monolith Productions' Community Manager Andy Salisbury, preordering the game for PS4 will get you the PlayStation Legion Edition missions. The exclusive missions will have you battling two more Warbands in Mordor: the Blood Hunters and the Flesh Burners.

The Blood Hunters, he said, are master assassins who travel in packs, and defeating them will earn you the Stinging Blade Rune. The Flesh Burners are a band of elite archers, and defeating them will earn you the Black Arrow Rune.

The missions included in the PlayStation Legion Edition are on top of The Dark Ranger preorder bonus you get no matter what platform you preorder the game for. It includes the Dark Ranger character skin and the Test of Power Challenge Mode. Both are different from the retailer-specific preorder bonuses.

Some extra missions/enemies, standard console exclusive stuff

[Admiral Woofington]

What are the chances that Liam O'Brien, Nolan North and Troy Baker all hang out in this game and just bro out?

[Patroclos]

Wonder if the runes you acquire from the PS4 exclusive stuff are available to all through other means. Fuck skins and crap, but the actual content stuff being absent is bullshit on either system. Hate that BS.

Dawg said the PS4 framerate was pretty damn solid.

 

[MMaRsu]

30 Minutes of good quality PS4 footage

They mess around with killing a few captains nothing spoilery. No story stuff.

Man this game looks fun as hell, I can't wait to play wednesday!!!

 

[Inceptional]

You've had to wait this long, another 24 hours isn't gonna kill you. It's not looking good though. I'm glad I have a One (FH2) and a PS4 (SOM-1080/60).

866? Would have to be 864 or 873.

 

[Draper]

Is there some convincing gameplay footage out there? I'm still on the fence.

hyyyyyyyyyype

 

[ProjektXero]

Honestly, why can't Lith just answer the question regarding the XB1? I wanted to buy it for the Bone (even though my PC is more powerful than both next gen consoles), but their lack of communication is putting me off the game entirely.

 

[roMonster]

I wonder if the button prompts for the pc version with a controller plugged in will look like 360 buttons or xbone buttons.

 

[MMaRsu]

There is a shitton of gameplay footage on youtube. Literally hours worth.

 

[Dawg]

Could be a really solid 30, but it feels a bit better than just locked 30fps. Maybe unlocked 30-60.

They dont want to advertise the game is running at a lower resolution and possibly framerate......

Thanks guys. I hope this game does well.

 

[antitrop]

If it's anything like Tomb Raider: DE, a 30fps lock option would be nice. I'm not a fan of that variable shit. Not until Gsync becomes a standard.

Agreed. It bothered me in Knack and Killzone, but not so much in Infamous for some reason.

I haven't played Infamous, but I'm aware they patched in a 30fps option after fan feedback, so that's pretty cool. Ditto Killzone.

Come on Tuesday - get here sooner. 48 hours from now the wait will be over for me. That's gonna be a loooooong day of work.

 

[RoboPlato]

It's because infamous tends to run around the same framerate instead of fluctuating a lot. Even though it has some judder, you can get used to it since it's not all over the place.

Oh man...those smooth attack animations.

 

[Dawg]

Whatever the framerate is, I don't notice any judder/drops/screen tearing and this also counts for battles where there are like 50 orcs moving around with a lot of special effects etc. It's quite impressive actually.

Game is smooth as fuck.
