Quantum Break to run at 720p and Remedy responds to criticism

After getting angry from Microsoft’s decision in releasing the game on PC alongside Xbox One, fans have been furious recently due to the news of Quantum Break’s graphical resolution which will not be 1080p as expected.

Developers at Remedy explained that downscaling the resolution is something a bit more complicated than mere numbers. Even though the game works at 720p which is a little low for modern system it uses advanced graphical features for effects, shading and a 4xMSAA anti aliasing technology to make the game look good.

The final code will look amazing according to Remedy, and fans shouldn’t be worried about that as they will see when the game releases this April 5 on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs.

“This approach gets us high pixel quality in combination with complex shading and effects, allowing us to achieve a cinematic look. However, varying sample counts between passes and temporal upscaling makes talking about resolution, as it is traditionally understood, complicated in the case of Quantum Break.

“Since the start of “Quantum Break’s” development, the most important thing for Remedy and Microsoft has been delivering a compelling gaming experience with superior artistic quality. This is what Remedy is renowned for. We’re confident that we have achieved this, and can’t wait to hear what fans think on April 5 when they play the game.”
