Nate and Sully's watches don't seem to be showing the same time. Very poor attention to detail, pre-order cancelled.

That's a nice motion blur on the jeep.
People were sore after seeing the previous demo? Quite the contrary, I'd say that people have being more impressed by the look of previous demo with its more realistic look. IMO.
I just checked on the suposedly "uncompressed" video that was released to the press, the build Eurogamer got their video from seems to be a different build from E3

Also, that annoying green tint from the press video is gone. I don't understand why developers release videos with incorrect black levels and wrong color correction. ND do that a lot lately.

Slight update to the X1 resolution, was confirmed to be 1440x1080p in the full face-off report.
Given the framerate, makes you wonder what devs are currently holding in higher regard (fps or attaining 1080pr on xbox) . I wonder if they have some patches incoming....
It's possible that it may have to do with CPU load. And the resolution set is possibly a good place for Xbox to perform at. I'm not saying it is but the possibility is there.
I hate to be a skeptic, but they just so happened to settle on a res that ends with 1080? They also forgot to fix the scaling and some of the reflections are stretched when output to 16:9. Sounds like they had a 900P game but then changed it at the last minute for... reasons.
Totally possible , could there be compute constraints thats are unaffected by resolution?
1080pr
That said only scaling one way sounds sencible to me, but i guess ypu could use anything for the width
Yea, there's that view point. But sometimes that particular resolution looks better since it has to scale only horizontally and not both vertically and horizontally. In a racing game, this might even make more sense, but I would have to see it for myself to make that call.
Why not? As a racing title, the focus is on landscape and wide objects (cars), and those would benefit more from a higher vertical resolution. This should be pretty old news by now (see: Wipeout/GT5/6).
The game has issues on all platforms, so it's probably more a case of running out of time than "forgetful & lazy devs". So yes, most likely a late decision.
If the game is very consistent in frame rate with or without cars, graphical effects etc - then resolution was likely set right. I'd start looking at CPU. For a game like this, you need update, fixed update, and render code all completed in 16ms. If the xbox is consistently below 60 (as in never ever really reaching it) I would look at the CPU, that doesn't sound like GPU behaviour - which should hit it's stride when the load is little and have more difficulty when the load is too much.
Hmm, from DF in the youtube comments about the UC4 video
Maybe that's why this doesn't have the Matrix filter all over it. I heard some people voicing concerns about the lack of colors in the E3 footage, the DF footage looks a lot more colorful than any video released by Sony/ND (both of them had incorrect black levels and a green tint).
Well, the optimisation efforts to get the X1 versions up to PS4 standards is just too much effort which requires additional funding and resources that many developers cannot justify, hence the decision to drop the internal frame-buffer resolution and upscale, to get it near somewhat at a satisfactory state for release. It also really depends a lot on the type of engine being used as that also has a bearing as to whether the X1 can ever hit 1080p in certain titles. Interestingly, we have pCars developer, as an example, where post launch we have seen at least for the X1 several performance improvements, from patch 1.1 -.1.4, and soon to be patch 2.0(An additional 15% performance improvement were are told). And although SMS originally set aside budget/resources for a DX12 update(another circa 7% improvement), this now seem unlikely, judging from SMS latest comments on the matter.
