Red Dead Redemption is Native 4K on Xbox One X, screenshots thread
- Thread starter RedbullCola
- Start date
When Developers make games what resolution do they create the assets in? So during the 360 days were they all using 4k as the asset resolution for there original working files scaling them down later on for consoles? Were they working in higher than 4k resolutions so someday we can have 8k Red Dead? I really don't understand the process of taking these games and making them Native 4k.
I know with old movies regular film was much higher quality than 1080p so it was easy for them to release remasters with the Native film, but if a game was originally designed for 1080p in the day and that's how all the assets were created how do they have it be in 4k without redoing all the assets from scratch?

Sorry to be a downer but at this point, get an X. The performance boost compared to the One S is almost generation-caliber, and it's crystal clear that Microsoft is going after the hardcore gamer crowd with all these announcements of enhancements and 4k BC.
I did that...no update
I'm trying to find out what the new Version Number of the game is so I'll know it's already applied or not
Ah, I had no idea that there wasn't a resolution boost on the old systems. Kinda makes sense I guess.
Already ordered 12 games this evening so I'll have plenty of stuff to play when I get the system.
Going to have to sleep on it and give it some good thought and hold off for a good deal I guess, I'm I'm going with an X.
Really wasn't planning on spending that kinda cash right now.
If you've got two arms and hands then yes.
Anyway, I'm hoping CEX don't up the price for RDR, no way am I paying the price it's jumped upto on the MS Store.
Wow, this is totally unexpected. I have an Xbox One X but not a 4K TV. Will I still see the improvements?
Just got a new copy from shopto for under £14, comes with Undead Nightmare as well.
Just snatched a copy on eBay! Can't wait.
Lol. We had the same idea.

Were the stars always multi colored in the 360 version? Can't remember.
There's blue, purple, red stars in the night sky and it doesn't seem right.

Even on a 1080p set you will see a major bump in image quality
Super Sampling will mean you still get a cleaner image than you would without the X enhance.

Was for the past two weeks. Sale ended earlier today.
Duh. Of course. Do you think R* would miss out on selling it?
Edit: Thought you meant selling it, not on sale. apologies.
We always did when I worked there up until late last year. The stores will get the new prices tonight ready for opening tomorrow. Actually we did do it the first time it was made BC.
I guarantee if you go there at 9am and walk over to R of the Xbox 360 section, you'll see someone changing the stickers.
Edit: It's £7 currently and the Pricing guy send the new prices across at 8am so we will see haha.
That's awesome, great job Microsoft getting this stuff working and working right. Rockstar how about you remaster this or bring it to pc please. Sony when you're done saving the children from crossplay can you please move your assessment and get real back compat working. Thank you.
Just get an X. I only have 1080p tvs and the X is night and day over the S.
Supersampling is real and it is awesome.
6 teraflops > 1.3 teraflops
For the most part, game assets such as textures are made at very high resolutions and then reduced as to meet the technological limitations of a certain platform (such as RAM).
This is why you see so much lost detail when you increase the resolution, especially noticeable with Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. Generally, higher priority textures will be higher res and belong to the characters as developers understand they can skimp out with lesser important props.
Quite often a texture will be in a high-resolution format, and it'll be accompanied by increasingly smaller versions of the texture which take up less RAM and so can be manipulated more rapidly - the principle being that the software should select the appropriate mipmap to use internally for any given frame, allowing objects at a distance to save texture seek times by using small textures for the lower number of pixels that are visible.
To answer your question, that's entirely down to Rockstar. There's only so much a 4K patch can do but luckily RDR was quite the detailed game for its time which is why it looks so great even by today's standards.
The thing is, with next gen probably coming in about 2 years time, I was thinking I could ride out this gen with a really cheap S and jump on board the next gen with a super charged system from the get go since backwards compatibility would surely be something that caries through from now on for any Xbox going forward.
It's happening alright, and I never replay games.
When I'm done with this I'll probably be replaying Dark Souls 1.
Hell of a year.
Oh, shit! I just bought this on a whim during the Spring sale. Played up until meeting Irish and put it to the side. I had a feeling that it would eventually receive an X upgrade, but wasn't expecting it to happen this soon! Granted the game still looked great as a backwards compatible title, but a 4k upgrade is very much welcomed.
Look forward to Digital Foundry's analysis on this. Good stuff, Microsoft!

Well the PS3 version is the worst looking version, and you added compression on top of that with PSNow.
Initial impressions:
• god those textures were probably really mleh. Everything is sharp but they dont hold up well
• geometry doesnt look bad at all
• speaking of textures, it looks like they dont go fuzzy till almost the horizon AF for dayyyss
• FPS seems rock solid
