OP
OP
I'll edit, I left it out unintentionally.
It seems from online that it has an active small dedicated community
Nah. It was always pitched as a 1440p - 1080p console.
if it keeps all the same improvements seen in the PS5 and XSX, it'll look largely the same, just At a lower resolution. Basically the promise for the console.
There's not much need to render at 1440p native since it's aimed at 1080p TVs.
How else would the game get to 60fps? It's currently locked at 30fps for current-gen.
Doesn't sound like a 60fps 'mode'. Sounds like all next gen consoles are now 60fps with all of the highest graphics stuff. PS5/XSX at 4k, XSS at 1080p.
That they talk of free and seamless transition for current players is basically confirming that there won´t be such a thing for AC:Valhalla and Watch Dogs Legion as these don´t have the progression stored on their servers afaik.
they should speak about that, by now they should know if you can carry your save file forward or not.

It says so right in the quote in the OP. I guess they might have needed to drop the resolution to 1080p in order to get a stable 60fps.
Right? They had time to fully focus on getting the most out of it and that's all the series s is capable of in a current gen title? I hope it's just them going directly for the option that was just easier to develop for.
its actually growing somewhat and up year over year, I hear there will be even more coming for it
Let's be honest, Microsoft never once used the term 1080p in their marketing for the Series S. It was all about 1440p.
Being a current gen games, means little to nothing.
Do you seriously think every current-gen game patched is going to run at Native 4K/60fps on XSX and PS5 or 1440p on Series S?
Just today we had NRS confirming that MK11 is dynamic 4K on XSX and PS5 for example.
If you guys are expecting all current-gen games to run Native 4K on the big consoles and 1440p on Series S, well, good luck.
Holy hell I forgot this game exists and I got it for free.
I know it has a single player mode, is it any good?
Is it too late to try and jump in online? Is it like Seige with deep learning curve and inability to learn due to toxicity?

Will be interesting to see what resolutions games hit a couple years down the line if current gen ones are already capped at 1080p.
different update that will happen in "the beginning of next season Y4S4, early next December". Basically they are saying at launch no next gen upgrade on resolution, its just backwards compatible. (series x uses one x profile and series s uses one s so 4K vs 1080p) and then there will be an update later that just ups the fps
Yeah, seems weird. 1440p/60 should be doable for a last gen game right ?
I would assume that because this upgrade is free, they maybe didn't go nuts with optimization for Series S. Or maybe 60fps at 1440p was just too much for it. Aren't many Ubisoft games very power hungry? Even though AC Odyssey is a current gen game, it's a tough one to get really high performance out of on PC, for example.
I wish all games will get next-gen upgrades.
Best news is 60 FPS like AC Valhalla. This is needed for its nature of combat.

No, the 60fps patch is coming later. I suspect the XSS version is 1080p because Xbox One is. And firstly, this game will be running what is essentially BC.
Yep. 1440p Sounds better in marketing talk. But they've always said it was aimed at people who aren't on 4K TVs or aren't fussed about 4K.
Personally I wish the XSS didn't exist or they were a bit less conservative with the power, but facts are facts.
EDIT: This shouldn't really tax the XSS since it's a current gen game with relatively modest upgrades, so it's more likely they had a 1080p target all along
I mean, it's going from 900p/30fps to 1080p/60fps. That's a pretty sizeable jump.
This is interesting! I have it, and enjoy the game quiet a bit! Unfortunately, between big games that come through, plus my constant returns to either Apex, Rogue Company, COD:MW, and R6:Siege, I fall off for large gaps of time. The one rough thing about this game, is it's, IMO, not a easy pick up and play game, at least if you want to do halfway well. That's what prevents me for keeping it in my normal rotation.
Anyways, looking forward to see what they do with this upgrade!

I´ve found something on the cross save situation regarding Watch Dogs Legion:
"We had previously known about free next-gen upgrades and cross-gen save transfers being available for the game, but in light of the multiplayer reveal, I asked about how Watch Dogs: Legion's online component fits into all this."

the question is, when did they say this? i never heard them talking about cross save till this article

Watch Dogs: Legion Gets Cross-Platform Progression For Online Modes
If you're on next-gen with PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, or on PC and current-gen, your online progress will carry over.

It depends on the title I guess.. And it also depends on how high they are pushing the graphics and resolution on the XsX.
To be honest I simply think that MS should have marketed the XsS as a 1080p machine that might hit 1440p at times instead of a 1440p machine.
To me 1440p always seemed like a market stretch based in the TF it is pushing.
To me 'a 60fps mode' suggest that it'll have a toggle for 60fps and a different mode for 30fps. Nothing in this blog post indicates that. It just says that the next gen versions will all run at 60fps after a patch in December.
Now THIS brings up an interesting scenario. For Honor is currently on PS Now. If you download it, could you grab the free upgrade? I imagine it might allow it if For Honor shows up in your download/purchase history. (For reference, when you download a game from PS Now, you get a transaction notice).
From the wording, it sounds like rather than the full fledged versions that other games are getting, for honor will just use a simple patch that unlocks the framerate while playing on a next gen console and run via the console's boost mode
While this is true, its just weird to see games already not adhering to the 1440p/60 FPS promise the device is being marketed at. That too for a last gen enhancement patch, this doesn't really bode well for native next-gen games.
Will we start seeing 900p~1080p games become common on XSS in 2021-2 ?
1440 was always just going to be MS pr. Series S in reality will always be a 1080p next gen system.
