Xbox Screens. Brightness 30%. 100% sharpness. CA off.
Are these taken on Xbox 360? Or PS3?

You can find big boxes with loot in them, when i played yesterday i found several boxes that seemed to be bugged as i couldnt interact with them at all even though i had high DZ rank

This game looks so iI am totally stunned how awesome the game really looks. Every few minutes I just have to take a screenshot, because I'm so impressed. Is it looking like the E3 2013 demo? I can't tell fore sure, but it's pretty damn close.
I love how everything looks so crisp, the amount of detail is insane. Also the destruction is pretty cool, like walls getting real holes and edges breaking of in a firefight.
It's just strange that the brightness level has to be around 10 of 100 to barely show the eagle in the testscreen, if you have your game too bright, of lot of the atmosphere is lost.
I uploaded all of my screens to an imgur album. But the game looks even better in motion
My highlights:

Will there be clan support of any kind?

Initial impressions are I'm liking it but it may be quite limited and get boring fast. Graphically I think it's a bit of a mixed bag. It has a lot of detail and sometimes it impressed but it's a massive step down from its initial reveal and subsequent appearances. Gameplay wise it's a cross between Watch_Dogs and Destiny set in New York with a little inFamous about it. I'm not sure on the Dark Zones yet. My first visit I didn't know what was happening really and I kept getting killed easily when everyone else seemed a bullet sponge. Guess I had poor equipment compared to those. Mission wise nothing exciting TBH. The usual affair which could get boring fast.
All in all it can and could be enjoyable but it has potential. I think it's limitations in variation of missions and gameplay could seal its fate. It does what it does fine I guess but nothing outstanding. I'll play a bit more later and I'll probably stick with my preorder and hope the full product is an improvement but I can't see it yet.

Here's one for a start..
yeah big time.

He's probably right about the tearing though.
Jankiness being an xbox exclusive though lol
I don't doubt the PS4 version looks better but very noticeable?
Not according to those comparison pics.
Probably the truth.
They have special loot boxes that you need to be a certain level to open.
But you can't open them in the beta.

So Dark Zone is not recommended for going in alone, right ?
Depends on who's in there, I've done solo runs without problems and i've done solo runs where there were highly organised gangs ripping me a new one.

No. Unless you plan on first finding people and inviting them into your squad when you get inside. Getting double or triple teamed multiple times will lead to a bad first impression

I've enjoyed sneaking about alone. But be prepared to get woefully overpowered by hostile teams. Even without carrying loot. Some players just want it to be a Deathmatch.
It is doable, I spent more than 2 hours in DZ alone last night and stakes were high from time to time. Try avoiding groups of enemies, if you see another lone wolf, try team up with him if it's possible.
I had fun killing AI and sniping at rogues.
You get money and rank points that way and can buy loot from the vendors.
Trying to extract is fun alone too!
darkinstinct
...lacks reading comprehension.
So much for all the people in this thread that saw differences between XB1 and PS4. They don't exist. I do wonder how close PS4 is to achieve 60 fps.

The entire reason for going to the DZ is for the loot. Solo'ing the NPCs can be not only difficult by yourself, it will also draw attention to your location for other players who will either assist or more often than not....hang back let you clear out the NPCs and then kill you for the loot.
Its just alot easier grouped up and more fun with people you know.

Alone is fine, obviously is not the same experience but is not that hard to get loot and extract it, of course you are at the mercy of other players but all depends if your DZ is full of dicks or good guys, you can't control that.
In this game is super easy to make a team with strangers, people should not be intimidated by the DZ.

Game looks great and runs like butter.
Running ultra 1080p on my I5 and GTX 970. The frames are anywhere from 40-70 fps, but really this is what makes the engine legit is, you cant tell. No tearing, studder, anything when it jumps and drops from 40 to 70, 70 to 40, anywhere in between. That auto vsync is doing some voodoo I tell ya, No input lag that I can feel when it kicks in, its invisible.
Great tech, hope they stretch it on future expansions.
