Brink graphic issues


(Symbiot) #1

When I play Brink, it looks like everything is low resolution. I’ve heard that some people are having this problem, and some aren’t. I’m playing on a 42" LG lcd via HDMI on a slim xbox 360, and the game is installed to the hard drive (although I believe it was the same before installing).

I just took a couple pictures with my phone to show you what I"m seeing.

Low quality gun texture

Yeah, the 360 version suffers from low res. It’s like looking through steamed up glasses, or someone had wrapped plastic wrap over my eyes.

I don’t think that’s something that can be patched up, either, but maybe I’m wrong. The game is still really fun, though. I just reached rank 3 last night!

Why couldn’t it be patched? It’s obviously a problem with the texture loading that they’ve already tried to patch. Also, depending on the tv, some people have this problem and some don’t. I think it can be fixed.

That patch was for texture pop-in, the loading time it takes for a texture to load was too high and you would first see the low-resolution texture before the higher-resolution texture had time to load. This problem, which I’m having as well, is just low-resolution textures which make the game look like it was made in 2005.

I know that the gameplay makes the game, but we’re in 2011 for christ’s sake. I don’t expect to see jagged edges while I’m playing a game in 720p.

I know, I’m just saying that I believe that it’s a problem they can fix because there are 360 players that don’t have this problem, and it doesn’t look like this on other platforms.

It should be. I really, really hope it is and I hope they get on it, like yesterday. I stopped paying full price for games that look like they’re from the last generation of consoles and this game will be going straight back to the shop if they don’t look sharp and fix it. It’s baffling that the game was released in this state as it is, and as the days go by more bugs are found.
