The premium pass is expensive but its also got a lot of content. the base game comes with the campaign and 9 maps and the season pass is promising 16 maps on top of new weapons and cosmetic stuff.
just because its $50 doesn't mean its automatically a ripoff.
I get why people who aren't into BF would feel that way, but myself and all my BF friends have been buying the Premium Pass since BF3 and we all agree it has been consistently a fantastic value if you're an avid player.
Not to mention a lot of outlets don't really cover it, like say CD Projekt Red, but DICE is amazing at supporting their games long after they come out. Even before BF4's rocky start DICE has an incredible history at supporting their games both for free and in the paid content.
god dammit, i wish they would once-in-a-while READ the options... RESOLUTION SCALE.
I wish people would once-in-a-while WATCH at least five minutes into the video before blaming them for shit. I swear, sometimes it feels like some of you people watch GB videos JUST to look for things to complain about and to blame them for.
Ehh, I'm not going to go hard on them in either direction, I know doing this stuff is tough and you want to focus on forward momentum. But there is definitely merit to taking some more time and patience and really looking over the settings screen just a bit more the first time around that would have taken care of this.
On the other hand, I never start a new game on PC until I've already taken a good look at the settings haha.
Anyone else feel overwhelmed by the clutter in this game? I just feel like I take a look at most of the environments and it takes me a couple seconds to parse what I am actually looking at. It's a hard thing to put my finger on why that's the case. Maybe too many glowing objects and UI elements? I do not envy the challenge of making a believably cluttered but readable videogame. I'm sure the compression isn't helping things though.
@dezvous: To be fair they`re not mandating native 4K or anything like that, it seems like they`ll let devs do what they want to do. From the interview.
Right but messaging is really important, more important than what the box even does just look at how poorly Xbox One did simply because of their original messaging. If the head of XBOX is out there touting 4k on Project Scorpio then customers are going to be expecting 4k and maybe even equipping themselves appropriately with a 4k TV. Imagine then if developers choose not to target 4k, you have to manage expectations. This is why it's so important to establish guidelines for creators, not to mention attainable guidelines that will result in the best experience for most customers and that's why right now (and a year from now) 1080p60 should absolutely be the goal.
I'm a 3D artist and pretty much all I do is rendering and one of the most hilarious/infuriating things is when I ask a client how big to render something and their response is "as big as you can make it." Well okay then... let me get started on that 20k render you're only going to be using on a 1080p screen.
I really appreciate Phils honesty, but it bums me out that Scorpio is seemingly just targeted at 4k, I was hoping it'd make for better looking and more stable games at 1080p too, which is why I wanted one.
Exactly. I simply cannot believe we have so many people ranting and raving about 4k gaming as if it's so necessary right now. It's much too early. Everyone makes such a big deal about framerate so why they insist on pushing for games running at quadruplethe resolution is just mind boggling. I would so much rather game devs, even with their purported 6 teraflops, target absolutely stunningly gorgeous 1080p 60 games with amazing anti aliasing and complex lighting and shader work for now. 4k is the next step but hardware simply isn't there yet and it doesn't take a graphics genius to figure that out, there are no GPU's out there than can muster 60fps at 4k on modern games. Here are some 4k benchmarks of The Witcher 3 on the brand new GeForce 1080, we're just not ready quite yet and lets also not forget that CD Project Red completely ditched their much more advanced lighting model that they were going to go with originally so we're already missing out on what developers would have done with more overall graphics horsepower, not higher resolutions.
Phil Spencer seems like a really nice guy and it was enjoyable to listen to him talk but the Scorpio really seems like Microsoft grasping at straws, I wish their messaging made more sense instead of just kind of mindlessly championing something we shouldn't be pushing yet.
@austin_walker: Nice, that's awesome! Can you answer another question,though? Why do you guys hate AMD so much? Could have been Crossfire, Austin...
Haha, just messing! I actually have two 980ti's as well but I use them for GPU rendering in 3D advertising and SLi actually reduces performance in that scenario so I've never tried it.
I hope AMD brings the heat with their upcoming GPU's, we are really in need of a closer competition between the two.
This Warhammer video was awesome! Thanks for producing such great content!
