Are the cutscenes pre-rendered videos at 30FPS? It looks like it.

Huh. This looks like a late buy for me. Was pleasantly surprised by the first game, but this doesn't look much better graphically, if not in some places actually worse, the soundtrack seems like a step back from the first game also, and it seems more of a 1.5 version than a real sequel. General consensus seems to be that the story is even more nonsensical than the first, too.

The action gameplay though, much like the first, is probably quite satisfying. No doubt not a bad game, but not a 60$ buy at launch title.

Yeah they are and I'm still baffled as to why they went with that direction because not only does it make it weird to see your character not wear the same armor you have currently equipped but it also makes the game so much more heavy because of the additional video files for the installation ( Game size is 97 GB on PC !!!) . I really don't see anything they couldn't have done in realtime ingame in those cutscenes so I'm really left scratching my head in disbelief here.

And compression is really bad, at least it shows on an OLED TV.

It's easier and saves time for the dev. The consumer be damned.

Does it though? I would have guessed that pre-rendering cutscenes would take more time & work.

Did you guys download the: 4K Cinematic Pack [and] High Resolution Texture Pack DLCs for the PC?

You guys might want to check it out again if you have not:

Think you may have the wrong game title in your page title here. Shadow of Mordor was the first game.

I am really liking the game. Taking a bit of getting used to with a different way of progressing skills, weapons, etc. Also the interface is a bit different in those screens. I do find it humbling starting out from scratch. I had completed Shadows of Mordor and leveled up my character so that most battles became a breeze. This new one starts you out at square one, and humbling but needed to make the game more challenging. Maybe my favorite game on Xbox One so far for 2017.

I was heavily impressed with the graphics of the Star Wars Battlefront 2 game beta, as compared to this game. SWBF2 looks superb. SOW is just a minor upgrade over the first game. SWBF2 is phenomenal looking, with its use of the Frostbite engine. Will be interesting to see what I play most of in the coming months with SWBF2 having a true SP campaign now.

Thumbs Up to the developers of Shadows of War.
