Analysis of Anthem’s E3 2017 gameplay reveal offers us extra data on how the sport will run on Xbox One X.
Anthem was revealed at Microsoft’s E3 conference and we have been informed that the six minute gameplay trailer was a pre-alpha construct working on the Xbox One X.
Digital Foundry has dissected the footage to seek out out whether or not the E3 gameplay is a sensible goal to hit for the ultimate launch, given the downgrade we frequently see within the trade between E3 trailers and the precise video games.
“Anthem is working at 3840×2160 on this demo, however with a catch; freeze the body and zoom in and that 4K output is definitely paired with artifacting on transferring edges, a transparent signal of our outdated pal, checkerboard rendering.
“The long and short of it is fast motion leaves a faint crisscross pattern where only half the pixels are shaded. Thankfully screen motion blur helps out massively to hide it. The feed still comes off looking pin-sharp, even with a compromise that effectively halves the resolution from 4K.”
Mass Effect Andromeda used the identical checkerboard techinque on PS4 Pro, working at 1800p.
As with Assassin’s Creed Origins, the gameplay might not be true 4K, however as Digital Foundry factors out, this makes it a “more authentic Xbox One X reveal.”
