The Xbox One S is a fantastic replacement for the clunky original system, but the timing of its release raises the question: Who is this for?
The Micro Machines racing games have been built on a mighty legacy of tiny racing. But the latest game in the series lacks the content -- and drive -- to keep it moving forward.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "Some of the biggest news from E3 was that the Xbox One would soon be backwards compatible for Xbox games, these are 5 games we would like to see."
None... because BC simply a collection of games I have no interest in ever playing again. I can't even keep up with my new games coming out.
Make it a competent remaster or GTFO :)
Haha, I like remasters myself, but some of these games are my Pile of Shame, so I'd like to take them off while playing my Xbox One ;)

One of the most anticipated games for this year is Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, the sequel to Monolith’s 2014 fresh take on the Lord of the Rings universe. The game is also being billed as one of the flagship titles for Microsoft’s Xbox One X, which will be the most powerful console ever made when it releases- presumably because it will leverage all that power, and put it to some good use.
"The guys who have the X, the biggest thing about it is the load times. On the normal Xbox dev kit, it will take us a few minutes to load one of our worlds. It’s pretty big and takes a while to rev up. The X loads in a few seconds. So that’s a big deal if you’re trying to iterate quickly to get more cycles on something.”
Thats quite a improvement.
Bring on da X.
That's is more amazing than many may want to acknowledge. This game is loading 4K with required assets, like textures and effects.
Improved loading is always welcome, especially in games that have notorious load times.
This has got to be massive exaggeration. Lets be honest guys, when was the last time you played any game that took "minutes" to load?
I believe that X is faster but that it takes minutes on the Xbone and only seconds on the X I mean give me a break. either the Xbone version is the most poorly optimized piece of crap or this guy is blowing smoke.
Last game that took minutes to load was MX vs ATV off road on the PSP. Good times even if I could grow a full beard in the loading time.
GTA V is pretty notorious for its loading times, which goes beyond seconds and into minutes.
We will have to wait and see, but it's not unprecedented for a game to take minutes to load
O.k. now you guys are just making stuff up or Xbone is more inferior than I thought. I know for a fact that on PS4 FO4 and MEA don't take minutes to load ever, and GTA5 only takes a long time to load into multiplayer and that's due to it's poor networking interface. Loading things in singleplayer doesn't take a minute.
Well I do have around 50 mods installed on FO4. It's not like 5 or 10 min, but like 1-2 sometimes. You are right with ME: Andromeda tho now that I think about it. Only the initial loading into the story just takes a few min in my case.
@Krysis I forgot about TW3, but haven't played since around launch. Been trying to play though 1 and 2.
All games will be improved on the Xbox One X in 5 ways.
1. Smoother performance and no screen-tearing
2. Maximum possible resolution on dynamic titles
3. Improved texture filtering
4. Xbox One X GameDVR support
5. Faster loading
The engineers at Microsoft deserve credit.

I won't deny that the designers of the XB1x have done a very good job but you also have to remember that Microsoft can't afford to get over 20 million original XB1 owners offside since all games made for the XB1 have to work on all iterations of that console.
You are also looking at a significant price and performance differential between the XB1 and the XB1x (approx $200 to $300 USD and 1.3Tflops to 6Tflops differentials) compared to the $80 to $100 USD and 1.84Tflops to 4.2Tflops differentials between the PS4 and the PS4pro.
As for faster loading, the XB1x is using SATA3 (same as PS4pro) which has a maximum 600MB/sec throughput compared to SATA2 (300MB/sec) of the PS4 and XB1, however, loading is also dependent on the storage device being used with the generic 5400 rpm hard disk having an approximate (depends on brand) read speed of 80MB/sec to 100+MB/sec. Better performing disks such as a 7200rpm HDD will have 20% better performance and an SSD (average read is 500MB/sec and write is 480MB/sec) is so much faster again and this will definitely benefit from the faster bus.
The downside of an SSD compared to an HHD is the fact that it is three to five times more expensive. Still, if you have the money go for it.
All the other features you have mentioned are possible but allot depends on the game developers.
Those features I mentioned is the hardware based level which will automatically improve games. What is dependant on the game developers is how far they want to push those games such as 4k and other graphical enhancements.
The usable ram is also significantly increased going from 5GB to 9GB
I wish he would have been more specific. He is talking about Dev kits which we know has 4 different settings, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, and full Dev Kit. I want to know the difference between the Xbox One S and Xbox One X load times.
He just said Normal Xbox One dev kits and Xbox One X Dev kit which means they could be using the 24GB of memory rather than the Xbox One X setting which will limit it.
Making this sound way better than it truly will be from a consumer point of view. The headline doesnt mention dev kit and so it all feels misrepresented.
Dont get me wrong I am not saying the game wont load faster but to me this isnt presented in a way that is realistic to real world scenarios, without being more clear.
I think it is just poor word choice.
Why would he compare a maxed out Dev Kit to a real product?
Yes he was using the Dev Kit, but I am reasonably certain he was talking about what it is like on both consumer versions of the console.
I think he knew what he was talking about and knew what he and the Dev team was doing before he made the comments he has.
Some people just don't want to say yeah man this X1X is shaping up nice and the developers are speaking truth because there actually developing while we are not, they are experiencing this all themselfs. It's like people keep trying to say developers are lieing mostly because they have a fan love for one of the other consoles they own and don't want to see the X1X do well.
Yeah, you missed my point completely, but good for you calling me out for being a Sony fanboy. Really nailed me on that one. You know whats worse, fanboys calling anyone who asks questions about the console they like fanboys...
I am not saying HE is lying, I am saying I wish there was a follow up question to make clear what setting the Xbox One X dev kit was running at. And since that question was not asked and his original quote can be taken in different ways its premature to jump to conclusions.
You make us Xbox owners look bad.
@ Gh05t
The follow up question should actually be "what are the load times of pro, ps4 and xbox one and s compared to X".
Considering that XBL's active users dropped by 2 million in the same quarter that the Xbox One S came out compared to the quarter prior, it's only logical to believe that predominately people who are already pre-existing Xbox One owners are buying this slim model as opposed to a slew of new consumers in general.
It's the cheapest 4k Blu ray player on the market and it plays games. It's been selling really well. This is a click bait article.
Another stupid article from an author who doesn't own a clue. If the S has outsold PS4 4 months in a row, how is this console out of place? And as far as aesthetics go, your opinion is yours and mine is both X1 consoles look better than the door wedge that is the ugly PS4 design. I own both console systems and enjoy both, but don't have a need for the S but it is a great intro system for someone with a 4k hdr tellie who wants a game machine also.
Who is it for? Ask the people that have been buying them. They have been the best selling console in a couple major territories few months now.
