Hands-on with 10 Xbox One X games that show us what it's really capable of | Digital Foundry

"Xbox One X is the console for your 4K screen, and anything else in addition to that (like Tomb Raider's multiple rendering modes) is a bonus. It's an impressive early showing then, and with over 100 games set for X enhancements, the chances are we're going to be kept really busy from November 7th onwards."

[Gazondaily]

"After all, this represents is a 2x increase in the native rendering resolution between Xbox One X and PS4 Pro, from hardware with a 43 per cent increase in compute power and a 50 per cent uplift in memory bandwidth"

What a BEAST!

[fatbastard11]

cringe

[kenna999]

But the beast can only run crackdown at 30fps? a powerful console yes but a beast it is not

[BeOpenMinded]

I think it could but console parody will hold this back

[gamer7804]

You're right beast implies its big but it's also one if the smallest consoles while being the most powerful so it needs its own name coined that conveys a beast of power in a small form factor

[Movefasta1993]

It is impressive for sure, I want a fable 4 in 4k now

[XMarkstheSpot]

@ss https://twitter.com/XboxP3/...

[denawayne]

New Fable @ E3 2018. I'm calling it now

[BeOpenMinded]

They better be having discussions about resurrecting that franchise. It's a no brainer if done right

[gangsta_red]

It's definitely great to read but still not a huge reason to go out and buy one at $500

[denawayne]

Tell that to the pre-orderers

[hamzilla]

Unless you really love Halo and have a 4k screen then there is no reason to get one. All other so called exclusives are on PC. So sounds like to me all we need is a PC PS4 and Switch for all the best of the best games. Xbots can't use Gears and Forza anymore because I can play it and play it well on my gtx 1070 powered laptop better then they can on the X1x

[Genuine-User]

This is rather surprising given the power difference. I wonder how Nixxes managed to pull off a native 4K resolution on the One X.

[Ju]

They weren't even sure if that is native. Was this ever confirmed?

[MrFisher21]

This is what I have been waiting to hear. I just need a couple games to show me that power. And I am sold.

[XStation4pio_Pro]

can not wait. it looks soooo good in person.

[Kingthrash360]

I suggest everyone read the entire article.
There are many things unsaid in the comments.
That's said I'm happy there is a difference for a console costing 100+ bucks more with more gpu. It's justifies the price tag. Even games like qb running at 900p-1080p checkerboard, 30fps over 720p checkerboard 30fps is an improvement. What remains to be seen is true comparisons between consoles. Resolution is nice but there is a price to be paid and shadow of mordor will be one of them. 4k 30 with drops will not hold over well. They should have at least locked 30fps and checkerboarded up to 4k. Any game dropping below 30 for the sake of 4k is just a mistake imo.
Hopefully the rumored of ms not funding xbox division anymore is false and we see new games come utilise this "beast" of a console.

[Kribwalker]

There has been a comparison between games. Tomb Raider is 4k with more graphical enhancement extras vs 1080p with some graphical enhancements

[rainslacker]

I'd suggest that as well, particularly like here where Septic completely misrepresents the quote, takes it out of context, and leaves out the actual problems which DF pointed out before talking about the raw numbers.

DF did have some good things to say, so why misrepresent?

People should know what they're getting, and this analysis isn't bad so people can set their expectations. I'd imagine as time goes on, some of the issues they brought up will be ironed out though.

[freshslicepizza]

It's good to see so much interest in this new system. Quite impressive too, going from 720p to native 4k while retaining 60fps on Killer Instinct.

[Obscure_Observer]

@rainslacker

From the article:

"Regardless, the fact is that both RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER and F1 2017 are adopting NATIVE 4K RENDERING in situations where PS4 PRO IS CHECKERBOARDING instead, and THAT´S a COMPARISON point we really didn't EXPECT to see. After all, this represents is a 2X INCREASE in the NATIVE RENDERING resolution between Xbox One X and PS4 Pro, from hardware with a 43 per cent increase in compute power and a 50 per cent uplift in memory bandwidth."

2X INCREASE! So much for "I know what a 6TF machine can do. The difference between Scorpio and PS4 Pro will be slight"

Too late for damage control now. ;)

[Obscure_Observer]

@moldybread

"It's good to see so much interest in this new system. Quite impressive too, going from 720p to native 4k while retaining 60fps on Killer Instinct."

Yeah, rainslacker and Aenea might know something on how they pull out with these results as well. ;)

[rainslacker]

@obscure

Also from the article, and in relation to what your quote it referring to

" Image quality on this one is off the charts - if it's not a match for the top-end PC experience, it's very close. However, while the title targets 60fps, its current performance level often falls somewhat short, with dropped frames and noticeable screen-tear."

What he's saying is that the performance drops are due to the fact that it is representing 2X increase in resolution.

Damage control isn't needed on my part, it's right there in the article. Those things called paragraphs are to separate 2 ideas, but a paragraph doesn't make something unrelated to the prior paragraph.

Septic misrepresented the quote, just as you are. Either on purpose, or poor comprehension skills I don't know.

DF isn't downplaying the increase in resolution, they're offering it as an explanation for the performance issues.

Overall, the article was very positive, so there was no need to cherry pick a quote and make it seem like more than it is. I've never downplayed the abilities of the X1, and have offered up more personal experience from working with the system to say how good it actually is than anyone on here who cherry picks quotes to make an argument. Others just want to build up expectations, and to me, that is going to back fire as time goes on, and the realization sets in that it won't matter that much. Just continue reading, in that same paragraph you quoted, where DF said that the differences aren't that stark in comparison to the PS4P overall, but there are noticeable differences. Everything I've said about the hardware capabilities of both mid-gens, and potential has been correct since these mid-gens became a thing. I have no reason to be worried about others ignoring me or trying to discredit me, because the proof is in the pudding as they say. Whether one chooses to accept what i say....or even what DF(which is obviously more reliable overall than my word) is up to them.

So keep picking what you want to believe. It won't matter to me. Just don't expect others to buckle under when you try to dismiss their efforts to clarify an obviously out of context quote

[Ju]

TR is probably adding a CB renderer to the already Pro native hi qual 1080p mode and add some effects. I would want to see, if they'd add CB to that Pro mode if it actually would also get them to 1440p. If so, the 43% is yet again an exact match.

F1 runs 4K CB @ 60fps on the Pro, and native on the XoX. CB give you that raw bit of frame time to run that 43% faster. I don't know where they get those 2x pixel density from; especially that it actually demonstrates how one can burn 43% power to achieve basically the same image quality. F1 look stunning on the Pro as well.

I am not impressed. Why do I have the feeling DF gets easily excited with the XoX with every little pixel, while if it isn't native 4K on the Pro it gets talked down. At the end of the day, it's the $100 which will get you the subjectively same result. But hey, why not. You guys have waited long enough. It's not like you have an alternative if you want to play Xbox games "better".

When the games are finally out - and we will continue arguing - I am sure, the difference to the Pro version will be smaller than the PS4 to Pro upgrades; and yet it will be hailed as the second coming of Christ.

[Aenea]

@obscure

Does the Pro version drop frames? No? The One X version does, therefor I will now make the same silly conclusion many an Xbox fan made before: the One X version runs worse than the Pro version!

[peppeaccardo]

You should work for Microsoft .. you are wasted on this site Bro !

[NoFanboyJustLovGames]

Halo gone be amazing

[Guyfamily999]

Checkerboarding requires more than half the power of native though, because the rest of the pixels have to be rendered at reduced precision. That's why CB only gives like a 35 to 40 percent performance increase, instead of double. It's technically true that it's twice as many native pixels, but if that excites you then you don't understand the technology...

[Condemnedman]

can't wait for my Scorpio edition to turn up

[UKmilitia]

you know what ,it is a beast.
serious beast and i really really hope MS get some games worth playing with all that power.
100gb+ games (via download !?!?!?! fk that)
but seriously im 37yrs old and im more than happy with the ps4pro graphics and it has the killer games.

but and i hope people believe me when i say this,
i wish MS all the luck with it and i so hope they get there act together and get some killer games/studios because we all benefit then

[rainslacker]

Funny you're leaving out the context that that quote doesn't say that Xbox is actually performing a 2X increase, just that's what the raw numbers suggest.

Also funny you leave out the part they aren't actually making a comparison here on actual hardware, and also state how the games they're referring to have noticeable dropped frames and screen tear.

They did say the actual image quality is close to a top end PC, although not quite there(no qualification on what top-end is).

Is this how you write your articles as well? Disregard context to get a quote to make a point?

[Obscure_Observer]

@rainslacker

Keep on trying. Maybe you´ll convince others than yourself, that the difference between the X and Pro will be only "slight".

[Gazondaily]

"Is this how you write your articles as well? Disregard context to get a quote to make a point"

I'm sorry what? I'm not allowed to quote the article and say I'm impressed by the contents of that paragraph? There is plenty more praise in that very article.

Don't concern yourself with how I write my articles and worry about your blatantly overt insecurity over the contents of this article, my enthusiasm for this piece of hardware and the results of Digital Foundry' s piece which also states:

"Xbox One X is the console for your 4K screen, and anything else in addition to that (like Tomb Raider's multiple rendering modes) is a bonus".

The context of the article is clear. Read it yourself. No matter how much you grasp and squint at the contents, the results are obvious, no matter how much you dislike that fact.

[rainslacker]

Read my comment above. The 2X representation was an explanation for the performance drops in said games being referred to. ROTTR and codemasters F1.

It was giving a technical explanation on a prior stated observation, while you make it seem like this is something across the board.

You most certainly can quote the article, but if you're going to quote, at least quote in context. You're impressed with a technical detail that simply says it's 2 times the resolution and that it can achieve this due to the power and memory, disregarding the context that it's still not enough to overcome the performance issues stated based on what DF said.

I don't concern myself with how you write your articles, because you've proven yourself unreliable in delivering information. Both in your articles and in your comments, and your obvious bias means any opinion you have is too clouded so you only talk about what you want to believe, and what you want others to believe.

DF was quite positive about the X1X, and there were plenty of quotes in the article one could find to be excited about, without picking the one that doesn't actually represent anything of substance in the way you were inferring it. And don't say you weren't inferring it, because you had to throw in that whole "Beast" nonsense, so it's obvious your intent, but you disregarded the best has a limp.

[badz149]

I can't wait for somebody to start calling them Sony Foundry in here...oh wait...

[_LarZen_]

And this is why I ordered a XboxOneX to accompany my PS4Pro.

[Gaming4Life1981]

Exactly cant wait to have them side by side.

[81BX]

Still have to get my pro... you lucky. Bet uncharted looks mind blowing!

[_LarZen_]

It looks amazing. And Horizon...oh man... :D

[hamzilla]

Know what else looks absolutely stunning on the PS4 Pro is Madden 18... Pure 4k football goodness. Best looking sports game ever

[81BX]

I just got madden today on xb1s. It's glitchy but looks amazing. The cod beta looks great as well. Played one match but the screen froze after the match ended

[MrFisher21]

Same here.

[blady_man]

Same here!! Cant wait to the best of both, and sitting next to them my switch !!! Lol

[ThinkThink]

That's the best way to do it my man!

[denawayne]

I'm jealous. I wish I could afford both the time and money to have both.

[CoryHG]

Here we have the ballers fam

[gameslayer2411]

I've got my Pro already it gets daily use, I'm excited to see what Xbox one X exclusives can do, which is why i ordered it as well :), best of both worlds for sure. I'll still be a mosty pc gamer, but consoles are great too :)

[DaFeelz]

Same. My X, Pro and Switch. Chillin' on my new 65" Samsung MU9000. I'm thrilled. Counting the days

[zerocarnage]

Good on you dude glad you sent amongst the fanboys n haters, enjoy the x1x

[SynKakarrot]

Amen to that

[babadivad]

I was gonna upgrade to Pro as well, but Sony doesn't seem like their behind the product. Maybe later, but definitely not right now. I was hyped when it was first announced though, not so much anymore.

[BeOpenMinded]

Base one is a steal and the games are still beautiful. Good enough for me too, I thought the pro was more for the VR, which I'm waiting for more content to jump in that

[hulk_bash1987]

Amen, while everyone else is sitting pretty, enjoying the games, fanboys will be missing out. Love all around people, congrats to Microsoft for making a beast of a system.

[Kribwalker]

"but certainly based on the titles we've seen so far, the delineation between the two models looks far more clear cut - Xbox One X is the console for your 4K screen, "

Unleash the beast

[NoFanboyJustLovGames]

cant wait to see Halo 4k

[PrinceOfAnger]

"Regardless, the fact is that both Rise of the Tomb Raider and F1 2017 are adopting native 4K rendering in situations where PS4 Pro is checkerboarding instead"

a true monster :)

[butchertroll]

https://ar12gaming.com/arti...

"F1 2017 will use a checkerboard reconstruction technique to hit 4K resolution on both Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro, Codemasters has told us."

[butchertroll]

Did you read what Codemasters dev said, chris?

Wanna bet in account?

[trainsgofast]

nope on PS4 PRO it's checkerboard reconstruction but on XB1X it's now

" Codemasters' F1 2017. Similar to Rise of the Tomb Raider, this game is operating at a native 4K on Xbox One X, while its PS4 Pro counterpart hits the same 2160p output via checkerboarding."

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

[trainsgofast]

That story as to what Codemasters dev said was way before the new code at games com.

[LexHazard79]

Butcheroll is right, F1 does use checkerboard on both PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. But the Xbox version being more impressive. In most cases the Xbox One X version is being compared to PC versions.

PS4 Pro only on some games with more games still using base unit assets.

[Ju]

And yet, it wasn't very clear to DF if there is a tangible difference between the Pro CB vs. the native XoX version in F1.

[MegaMohsi]

Most of those upgrades sound about right compared to the Pro counterparts, a few surprises which are cool but X will definitely have the best looking console versions of 3rd party games, again not surprising.

[rainslacker]

For the most part, what I read here is what I would expect. The X1X is a pretty nicely designed machine, and the hardware is certainly capable.

I think people are setting their expectations too high on the kind of overall support it will get from publishers over time though. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm basing it on what I've seen with PS4P, and my early inclination there isn't much motivation for publishers to expend too many resources to please a small part of the overall install base.

[Obscure_Observer]

@rainslacker

"For the most part, what I read here is what I would expect."

What? Lmao! You said here many many times that the diferences between the X and PS4 Pro would be slight. About the same as the PS4 vs Xbox One.

What we been seen so far, shows otherwise! It´s not just about the X rendering 2x native pixels when compared to the Pro

Rise of the Tomb Raider running on X is so much more than the PS4 Pro version:

-Pure Hair
-Enhanced Texture Resolution Highter
-Improved Anti-Aliasing
-New Volumetric Lights
-Increased Shadow Details
-Superior Reflection
-Incredibly Rich Foliage
-Enhanced Geometric Structures
-Higher Texture Filtering
-HDR
-Dolby Atmos
-Higher Framerate

Not "slight" at all!

[BeOpenMinded]

It appears porting is way easy and if the game also releases on PC the assets and textures will already be implemented in builds. This is different

[rainslacker]

I know they're going to be slight most of the time. Not all the time, as some games may take more advantage of it. But I've seen the differences, and know how most developers will treat the mid-gens, because money is going to prevent them from expending excessive resources on it.

What have we been shown so far? Most games using checkerboarding, with a bit more sharpness to the X1 versions, and reported performance issues for native 4K games.

ROTTR looks better and does have more features enabled, but DF noted frame rate drops and screen tearing.

So compromises will be made to keep performance up, or options will be given to the consumer. Same as it is on PS4P. Pretty easy to understand, and this article lays it out pretty well.

As I've said for a while now, a game using checkerboarding can look almost as good as a native 4K render. Iin some cases, it can even look better if more graphics effects can be enabled in the lower res source. It's common sense, it's actual real world practice, and devs are going to vary in how they implement things in their games. For the most part, I'd expect more parity between games than I'd expect them to be different.

I may be wrong for the long term, but it's going to take a while for X1X to really start to shine due to development cycles. Implementing some of these features in 2-3 year old games isn't going to make much difference right now, and PS4P is going to improve over time as well, and we'll start seeing better than we have already.

It's the course technology takes. It's nothing new.

I never once claimed the hardware wasn't capable, I only said that what people were expecting to happen, wasn't going to happen, and in the case of this article, a lot of the comparison was more of a "eager to see" how those comparisons would play out in the long run, rather than direct comparisons using all their tools and resources to do a firm analysis.

[Ju]

Those Tomb Raider additions to the XoX make me think they are not just there because of the XoX, but also because it's a year later. There is no reason why, e.g. a CB could not be added to the Pro, or HDR could not be enabled, there is probably no FP16 pipeline in the Pro version. This game, however, is a dead horse on the PS4. Sold, played and done. There is no incentive to backport any of those things to the PS4/Pro that late in the game. Sure, the XoX is also the better version, of course, everything would be a disappointment. Yet, we aren't comparing apples to apples here.

[KingKionic]

Wheres Da X crown at?

It stomps the 4K with ease.

Bring on da X!

[hamzilla]

Bring in what with the X? I can already play most multiplat games on my 4k screen off my Pro in 4k and I can play Forza and Gears, Killer Instinct, Quantum Break off my pc in 4k. Until M$ actually make real exclusives again like 360 era they have nothing much to really get this upgrade of a console?

[BeOpenMinded]

A lot of exclusives for 360 ended up being timed. It worked for me and many to enjoy the console but it's a practice that should be frowned upon. Unless they invest and publish third party games I'm not a fan of timed exclusives

[BigWan78]

Sounds like Digital Foundry team was impressed by what they saw...

Hopefully us gamers get the same results when the 1X actually releases...

Seems like Xbox nailed it.. Make an awesome Dev Kit, take that kit trim it to a reasonable price point point for consumers and sell it to them...🤷🏾‍♂️

[deividpaulo]

the Microsoft's teethless beast.

[pinkcrocodile75]

I assume you mean "toothless"

While the Sony camp is pushing what you have said the Xbox camp is doing what you guys did with the PS4 vs X1.

Yes the XOX is more powerful than the PS4 Pro and yes PS4 has had more exclusives this year and half of last year too. However these things go in cycles. I'm pretty sure that for the next gen cycle both sides will release at the same time and everything will start again but we already know that all the games that have slipped for Xbox to 2018 means that 2018 will be a decent year for Xbox / Win 10 exclusive games.

I just hope that in 2018 the Xbox side doesn't do what the PS side did this year as that only leads to a cycle of gloating and bitching all of which I'm tired of.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Amazon pre orders are back up. I have one question...do they charge you now or when the system ships?

[ultralow]

no charge until it ships

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Thanks, talked to cust. service and they assured me i wouldnt ve charged untill it ships.

[VoiceMale]

thanks for the heads up i got one preordered 🖒

[ichdich]

And this is why I ordered a XboxOneX to accompany my PS4Pro.

[gameslayer2411]

Same :)
Project Scorpio Edition Lets go!!
I managed to order two of them, one from gamestop the other from amazon! Super Excited!

[Emme]

I am no MS fanboy, but how did they manage to get 100 titles on board while the Pro gets maybe 20 ?

[Cmv38]

Pro was out first, a lot of these titles have been updated as the year has passed. So of course the xbx should launch with more support than when the pro launched. If they launched in the opposite order then pro would have more launch support in comparison.

[itsmebryan]

That makes no sense. The one that has been out for a year should have more support than a new system.

[ThinkThink]

Microsoft was just more aggressive with getting developers on board. Sony will benefit from this in the long run so it's good for them as well.

[zerocarnage]

Pro should by now be way ahead of 100 titles enhanced in the time it has been out.

Don't forget like ms, Sony and devs would of had the same or more time to get those titles enhanced

Unless devs chose to enhance X1X third party titles over the pro, but that can't be it could it???

[Aenea]

@items

There are more Pri enhanced games still than One X ones not sure what you're getting at.

[Ju]

Where do you people get the idea there is no pro support? The FUD is strong here. Pretty much every game released today has Pro support. Just because no every single games get a Pro announcement doesn't mean it isn't supported. It's rather standard these days. All you guys jump on is if there is one which does NOT support the Pro, which is rather the exception than the rule. Those 100 games are refactored year old titles. They showed exactly 2 new games for the XoX. AC (which will do the same on Pro) and FZ7. That's it.OK F1. And all those have Pro enhancements as well. So, what's the point? All others are old games.

[travestyj]

There is over 150 PS4 Pro titles already released. These 100 titles Xbox is advertising a lot of them won't be out until next year. Just look at the list. PS4 Pro has way over 150 if you count unreleased games.

[zerocarnage]

Not talking about released titles but updated and enhanced titles.

[travestyj]

So am I. There is over 150 enhanced PS4 Pro titles already released

[zerocarnage]

Ms are more organized when it comes to enhancements of titles.

[Ju]

MS has more marketing $$$ put behind their "messaging". But that's about it.

[conanlifts]

I have read numerous developers state they have achieved big upgrades with just a few hours work. So maybe more of a push from MS combined with Xbox X being a big jump in power. This would make the upgrades far easier to do, thus bringing more developers on board. This is my assumption anyway.

[kenna999]

Denawayne the pro is a less powerful console with an amazing lineup of games if you really needed to know but not sure why your bringing up the pro

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

X gon give it to ya!!!

[zerocarnage]

Lol DMX

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

That's right lol

[-Foxtrot]

This article....cringe worthy

[Kribwalker]

Because? Why you gotta be so negative fox, smile a little 😉

[aconnellan]

What abou it is cringe?

[-Foxtrot]

The comments

[rainslacker]

It's not a bad analysis, but they do seem more excited than analytical at times. Kind of like the DF of old which made big deals out of minimal differences. The notable differences are interesting though, but seems there are some issues arising in the better looking games pushing performance and resolution which hopefully can be ironed out.

Outside of a few instances, it seems they think the perceptable difference between checkerboarding and "true 4K" is pretty minimal, with just some sharper images and better draw distances on the X1X.

This is about what I said one could expect, and why it's going to be hard for MS to sell this when the average customer compares the two, because one good enough and cheaper is likely to be more attractive. This is how Samsung became such a strong competitor in the TV field, as the TV makers aren't content providers. That's why content is what separates the consoles, while the price and performance are just the hook for the software bait.

[Aenea]

The disagrees you're getting here are hilarious!

[rainslacker]

Doesn't bother me. They're free to counter my arguments if they wish. The one's I call out specifically don't actually seem to comprehend what the I'm saying, or what the article is saying in the quotes they're using.

Seems like just actually using the good stuff from the article might help them out more.

[sk8ofmnd]

Old 3rd party games are a great place to start, but where i think this thing will really shine is with the 3rd partys released across the board on the same day with an x enhanced version.

I can see many xb1 users upgrading to the X, i sure as hell know i would if i was a ms supporter... In the blink of an eye. **But** if that happens i can see the past repeating itself and as more and more xb1 users abandon ship ms will drop the xb1s like a bad habbit. 6-12 months after the x is on the market i could see a $149-199 xb1s orr cheaper... Selling even less than it is now and ms dropping support prematurely (like with the og xbox and 1st party offerings near the end of the 360) and pissing off many of their loyal fanbase that are fine with the S model.

Im hoping that ms supporters buy up enough 3rd partys to give ms the $ to... You guessed it... Invest in AAA 1st party blockbusters! The funny thing is, the much weaker ps4 slim will STILL sell gangbusters in comparison to the X and thats what speaks loudest to AAA 3rd party devs... Not having a flashier ver of the same game that a lot of people will avoid like the plague... And even when ms has a "beast" on the market, sony will still be able to swing more exclusive 3rd party games, add ons, and content exclusively that can only be found on a sony console with none of this maybe exclusive bullcrap. Whixh will def put a wrench in ms's efforts and of course the pending release of the next beast in the PS5 👊

[Kavorklestein]

The titles are released for Both Xb1 and xb1x... no support to drop!
Your whole point is dead.
If anything, Ms might actually take risks with 1st party again, since they will have even more people to sell to. One version will have more bells and whistles, although the games will still be fully playable on either option.

Not really a hard concept... Cars already do this... A Honda Civic is still a great car even if you don't get the Si edition.

[2cents]

"Xbox One X is the console for your 4K screen."

That is a pretty clear statement coming from DF.
I'm actually proper excited for Nov 7th.
Didn't have time to play Gears, Horizon 3, Tomb Raider, nor did I get the time to finish the Witcher 3 or Shadow of Mordor.

This whole free upgrade of old games business is really giving me a good buzz.

[zerocarnage]

Every time you lot say beast, I keep hearing Paul haymen introducing Brrrrrrrrrrrock Lessssssnar.

A trip to suplex city comes to mind.

[IIIIHARLEMIIII]

Sooo BEASTLY 😁

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Read this article ....and just smiled. 11/7/2017

[tmisellati]

it is win-win situation
it is obvious that microsoft is more keen than sony to get 4k HDR updates to their games. i believe this will translate into more ps4 pro enhanced games in the very near future.

[maybelovehate]

Probably. But get ready for every article to show how badly the PS4 version pales in comparison to Scorpio.

[Tedakin]

Titanfall 2 is 4k on Xb1x... 1440 on PS4 according to this video.

[Aenea]

What video? It's an article with 4 separate videos for 4 different games, not one for TF2.

They don't mention it's 4k either, they say it has a higher resolution than the Pro version and uses the same visual settings.

Probably nearer 1620p/1710p/1800p...

It could get interesting with future games tho. 1440p is about double 1080p in pixels, checkerboard rendered 2160p can thus be done on the Pro as well if the engine was made to support it from the start which new games probably will. The One X can then do the same thing but use the extra oompf to add in the missing PC visual settings and set itself apart in that way...
Tho of course a 3rd party dev could then also opt to add those effects on both but on the Pro use CB rendering at 1800p and then upscale to 2160p, then it will still differ but harder to tell. This is up to the devs, tho I think that most will go for the latter option....

I still don't own a 4K TV.
Would love to see Xbox One X 4k gameplay compared to One X 1080p tv gameplay. Side by side.
And then day one Xbox One 1080p compared to One X 1080p gameplay

Good to know the 500 dollars investment will show improvements on games. Hopefully xb1x sells well.

[sazselesbon]

Well, the cake is not a lie

[Cherchez La Ghost]

Good to see positive news for X!

[bigevil1x]

If digital foundry Is that impressed by the 1X then why waste time to still trash this powerful console...why keep killing the Gaming community with the negativity just enjoy the experience of next gen power at its finest

Still lost the generation

Sony fanboys won the war

Try again in the next generation

[LastCenturyRob]

What war??? The only ones upset are kiddies like you whose mommy and daddy only bought them a vanilla PS4 and refuse to buy them the X1X so soon after...Don't worry kid, next summer you can get a summer job mowing lawns and save up for the X...No need to be jelly!

[tee_bag242]

Lol. So true. It's a 'war' for fanboys who had to pick a side and on mommies dime.

[BenRC01]

I've bought a One X purely to sell for profit to 'ucktards like you who have no idea about gaming.

[PistolsAtDawn]

I'm so damn ready

[sazselesbon]

XBeast?

[horndog]

This xbox one x only comes in BEAST mode. Buuuahhahaha!! Bring out the BEAST! im ready.

[BenRC01]

Old games youve all played!
Remastered 7/10 games!
NOTHING new or exciting mentioned in the launch or even planned over the next 12 months !
REEEEEECOOOOREEEEEE!!!!!
So 4k 30 it is then. What a bumner.

This article makes it seem as though Microsoft hid a bunch of reasons why gamers should drop serious dough to own this monstrous motor without a motorway from everyone but Eurogamer. I think that any ammo MS has to market and promote the One X is already being rat-a-tat-tat'd away.

[Mister_Wolf]

Call it Beast all you like. Until exclusives are sorted out, this beast shit won't matter.

[timotim]

X is already making the developers happy... Now it seems as if it's making the analysis happy as well. No reason not to think gamers won't be happy on the 7th of November.

[cyclindk]

This is more in line with what both consoles should have been at launch, at least they are here now, the Pro in a bit more limited sense, performance-wise, though its lower price justifies that I feel.

[cyclindk]

I will be happy to hit a semi-stable 40-60 fps on 4K with my 1080 ti setup. For 500 bucks, even getting close to half the frame rate isn't unimpressive. Micro just need to find it within their hearts (pockets) to push some serious exclusive IPs that look good on standard Xbox hardware, but totally ASTOUND on this premium offering.
