@thedud3abides: Ha, I'm just playing the single player campaign and actually really enjoying it. Until I have to see those cut scenes ...

@aross2004: Thanks. Maybe they'll fix it :)

I'm playing on an Xbox One X with a Sony 4K HDR TV and while the gameplay looks fantastic the cut scenes exhibit a horrible quality drop, with terrible DVD-like banding of dark/light transitions in the background like way too much video compression was applied. It's really hard to look at when it cuts from the pristine 4K game engine to these muddy ugly video cut scenes - almost like they were streaming over a slow internet connection then playing local assets. The most shocking example is when the Battlefront II logo is displayed after the intro - truly horrible.

Anyone else seeing this? I wish they'd rendered these scenes real-time with the gaming engine.

If they would have moved the analog puck up (or in any better location) I'd be tempted, but this still looks like the same hand-cramp design for racing games. No thanks, I'll just keep the original torture device.
