KI has been downgraded graphically... again

Well, for 2016 it does look ugly. Atleast in my opinion. The textures are ok, but in the postprocessing and lighting department the game is lacking majorly.

might be your PC set up

Nah, running on max settings.

i’ll have to check for myself but they ran PC version last couple days and it was fine.. I think you may have had unrealistic expectations, remember they didn’t go back and remake/update it from 900p

I don’t see it. I am playing right now on my Xbox One, and I don’t see any downgrade of any graphics. It still looks beautiful to me.

My eye cant catch what the OP is saying. Only a side by side would work for me.

Keep in mind this is a four year old 360 game that only got up ported to the Xbox One. There’s not really much they can do to fix that.

I thought if anything it looks better, they pretty much removed the layer of fog from every level and added much nicer lighting, GI? rather than static lighting for the stage and then a second baked lighting for the characters, they dont look stuck on the stage. And this is coming from a 3D artist who’s usually a snob about these things. If anything, it has its own look and feel who cares if it doesn’t look like they used 10000000 polygons and 48K textures?

Uhm… KI isn’t an Xbox 360 game… and it isn’t 4 years old. It’s from 2013 and was released at Xbox One’s launch.

Did you see the 360 version? it looks like crаp. This one is A LOT better.

What 360 version?

To say the game has had a graphics downgrade is absolutely bs … I don’t even know what to say about some of these people who constantly complain literally every single day . I’ve been playing for hours and the game looks absolutely STUNNING … This is the best this game has ever , and I guarantee you , will ever look. Knowing darn well that the visuals have been upgraded and that the lighting has been redone; for someone to say that there’s been a downgrade , let alone a ā€œmassiveā€ downgrade , is just utterly ridiculous. It’s mind boggling.

this beast. basically a recycled game, but i’m so glad this wasnt on 360 because it was a selling point for my personally for an xbox one.

I had no idea this existed… Thanks! :smiley:

There’s a second video, he explains that RAM was an issue, which probably explains why it was ported to xbox one in the end just becuause the 360 was so underpowered in that department.

It was originally made for the x1 and they were trying to see if the 360 could handle it too. It was always an x1 title

I thought it was developed for 360, then ported to Xbone due to limitations. The development 360 they used had more ram.

I’ve been playing for about three hours now. I see Nothing to indicate a massive graphical downgrade. If anything, the game looks more vibrant than before. Care to provide some examples, OP?

It’s always worth checking the account activity of someone you don’t know who shows up in a thread like this. If someone made their account four hours ago and has only posted in a thread to say the game has bad graphics…
