Already 1080p on X1, so it should should hit 4K on X1X with overhead to spare for other improvements.
Yeah, I thought this was already on the list of games being updated. Wasn't quite sure though. If PS4 Pro can hit 4K, then this has plenty of room for improvements.
Would be nice for a 60 frame to go with that 4k resolution. Pro already renders it at native 4k so shouldnt be hard to utilize the extra performance for frame rate.
Well its obviously a CPU issue over GPU. That's just the way consoles are designed, graphics over performance.
Fundamentally, it's not a hardware issue, GPU or otherwise. It's a choice developers took when making the game. 60fps will never be standard on console and people will just have to accept that.
These mid-gen refreshes do have more capable GPUs and the same CPUs, there are multiple reasons why that is. Better backwards compatibility with base consoles, AMD did not have significantly better CPUs in APU form, they simply could not improve the CPUs any more than they did without significantly sacrificing the power consumption or temps of the consoles etc, at that point it just isn't worth it.
If you're looking for better CPUs then the next generation of consoles PS5/NextBox whenever they may release will be sporting some powerful stuff. The jump in CPU performance may mean that more games will be 60fps on the systems, and we'll see less of these remasters not getting a frame rate overhaul as well as the visual one, possibly. But 60fps will never be standard.
