This is what Xbox games look like on 'Project Scorpio,' on 4K and 1080p displays

Windows Central: We exclusively revealed that Project Scorpio would be able to provide various visual enhancements, even on 1080p TVs thanks to supersampling. The 4K images powered by Project Scorpio will provide noticeable improvements even without a 4K TV. Now we have a look at some of the ways Microsoft privately demonstrated these capabilities to its partners.

Nice. The first pic reminds me of a telltale game and this one https://www.windowscentral.... reminds me of Bioshock .. The Ladybug demo pic looks cool too. https://www.windowscentral.... Can't wait to see the improvements on the bigger titles i.e RDR2, SWBF2, Destiny2 etc

Bigpappy2549d ago (Edited 2549d ago )

I see what they are trying to demonstrate with taking old games and applying this same tool. This is without having to apply any patches or enhancements whatsoever. I notice more detail just looking at the wall.

Bigpappy,

Yeah that's what I pointed out as well, but obvoiuos downplaying on n4g is , well, obvious....in fact just browsing gaming news here at work today every site I saw agreed:

"Tech demo shows Scorpio’s superior graphics at both 4K and 1080p"

"As we'd expect, going from 1080p on the Xbox One to 4K on Scorpio brings a substantial improvement in fine detail. This is particularly striking with the demo character's hair—it actually looks like individual strands rather than a weird blob—and the fabric used in her clothes. The only difference between the images is the rendering resolution—the models and textures are the same"

"While 4K will still be the way to go if you want to experience all of Scorpio's power, these demos make clear that the system will have plenty to offer 1080p gamers, too"
-Arstechnica

"See how much sharper Project Scorpio games could look, even without 4K"
http://www.techradar.com/ne...

"New Graphics Comps Highlight Project Scorpio’s 1080p, 4K Prowess" -ExtremeTech
https://www.extremetech.com...

"As you will see when clicking on the link, the backgrounds in the slider image are much crisper and have finer detail, and even close ups of the woman’s face show a notable difference."
https://m.gamebreakingnews....

-Yep and if you google it, there are plenty more who actually looked at the comparison and saw a clear difference.

PFFT2549d ago

And the detail looks amazing! Cant wait to get my Scorpio!

Kribwalker2550d ago

That first pic looks damn amazing. Hopefully we see something like that in game. Puts everything else to Shame

christocolus2550d ago (Edited 2550d ago )

Using the image slider on the windows central article to compare makes the difference quite clear. The improvements to image quality on already existing Xbox one games is due majorly to the supersampling tech used in Scorpio. I also think the killer instinct engine was used for one of these demos. Now we need to see how Scorpio improves character models, textures, draw distance, aliasing etc.

Ah the sweet sweet hyperbole.

Deservingly so.

@nemesis

I like how you make this an N4G thing when most gamers have a PS4 so obviously you are going to have a stronger PS force out there lol.

starchild2550d ago

@Gaming_Cousin

That isn't really true. I own a PS3 and a PS4 and no other consoles, but you don't see me trolling Xbox and Nintendo articles. The vast majority of PS4 owners are likely normal, sensible people. You guys are the lunatic fringe.

Gaming_Cousin2550d ago

@starchild

Im sorry but where did I say all PS4 owners? The more comsumers you have the more extreme fanboy idiots like me and the more regular people like you are going to be present

How is this game considered stunning and gorgeous yet this one looks like garbage

Cute to see you posting an unflattering pic from GT 'beta'.

Maybe I should post some horizon pics or uc4 pics that destroys that pic of yours?

Check this link out when you get time

Liqu1d2550d ago

Kribwalker at it again. This fool took a picture of Horizon and Gears using a flip phone and then said they look similar graphically.

Kribwalker2549d ago

@liquid
I've played both, on my 4k hdr tv, with a Xbox one s and an OG PS4 with hdr on. And like I said before, I know it's linear vs open world, but they do look similar. I'll do screenshots and show you then

PFFT2549d ago (Edited 2549d ago )

One is Checkerboard and the other is Native 4K. Which one is which??? Ill give you three guesses.

Krib,

I have screenshots that I took during Uncharted 4 gameplay that look better. If I could post them here I would.

Let me know when The Witcher 3 gets a 4K patch.

vega2752550d ago

But wouldn't that upset sonyfanboys. Since the dev didnt patch the pro version

KenichiEbina2550d ago

Nah, I don't think sony fanboys are worried about 2 year old games. They have new games and exclusives to look forward to unlike xbox fanboys.

Death2550d ago

@Kenichi,

Someone needs to let Sony know so they can stop investing in PSNow and use those millions for more new games/exclusives. It's ironic that the things fans spew contradicts what Sony is actually doing.

Nasisbot2550d ago (Edited 2550d ago )

Last time I checked sony is giving us spiderman, TLOU2, knack2, days gone, death stranding, UC the lost legacy, detroit, GT sports, wipeout collection, Sucker punch New IP, Sony Xdev has many secret project in works, sony Japan studio working on unannounced titles and many third party collaborations.

So what were you bitching about again?

"use those millions for more new games/exclusives"

Maybe you should ask that from M$ and Xbox Division. Some advice should help their anaemic lineup.

Death2550d ago

@Nass,

$300 million would probably make a few more. How much was invested in PSVue, Sony's cable service for PS4? That's more games we could have. Microsoft has games in the works as well, announced and secret as well. Why are people pretending Microsoft has no games or games coming out? Looking forward to the next GT as well, surprised we haven't seen one on the PS4 yet.

SaltyyBae2550d ago

Why are you pretending Sony doesn't have unannounced games in the work too in additon to already announced impressive lineup?

XabiDaChosenOne2550d ago

@Death your reaching ,just stop. We are four years into the generation and you are still waiting on games. For PS fans they are here and never going away until next gen.

trooper_2549d ago

Over an old game when new exclusives are coming?

Riiiight.

Aenea2549d ago

@Death

Ehmmm, perhaps MS can put some of those billions they earn from their other divisions and dev some games too huh?

PFFT2549d ago

They would poop their pants more than they are doing now.

Waiting for Battlefield 1 and SW: Battlefront 4K and performance patches as well. I guess greatness is coming... again.

Kingthrash3602549d ago

I doubt BF1 or SW:BF will get a native 4k patch....it surly won't get a performance boost.

XanderZane2549d ago

@Kingthrash360
With a patch it will run at Native 4K, 30fps. I'll set a plate of "crow" aside for you come this fall.
We know you are wishing it doesn't get a performance boost.

IanTH2549d ago (Edited 2549d ago )

Given SW:Battlefront 2 is coming, the odds EA will go back and spend even a dime on getting an older game up to snuff when they can say "Hey, got a Scorpio? Then buy Battlefront 2 to see the series in 4k", seems pretty slim. I can't imagine they'd want to divide attention and give people the idea to spend $10 on Battlefront 1 (or wait to see Battlefield 2 go on sale if they already own 1) when a full priced game is around the corner.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro7h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B5h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21835h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh4h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia4h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins4h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal4h ago

The first game was the best imo.

Hades 2 Is Already Fixing The First Game's Biggest Problems

Nacho_Z8h ago

There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.

Juancho518h ago

Hey! Gods suffer from obesity and diabetes too!

Blastoise8h ago

This is the dumbest article I've read in a long time.

Michiel19897h ago

No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.

Crows907h ago

Exactly. Not even sure they're necessarily committing to body diversity either.

The designs look fine not stupid.

Inverno6h ago

The writer of the this article clearly doesn't know what a real god looks like and has never seen them /s

Tody_ZA6h ago

Thanks for bringing up a bunch of garbage thoughts that never crossed my mind when playing the first game because I was too busy playing the game to worry about the portrayal of the physical bodies of gods.

Foolish me, when I read the title I thought we were talking about game mechanics.

Piss off, honestly, with this asinine bottom of the barrel try-hard-to-be-relevant trash.
