The graphics are looking really good.
watched some gameplay footage today, and the fine print says footage is from PC.
so, hopefully the consoles can come close.
and hopefully this gets X and Pro Enhanced with HDR support.
and the X will get 4K textures. y'know......for the girls.......and stuff.......
Haha.
And I would hope all games that are coming out in the mid-term future would support those features. Would be very lazy otherwise.
