Xbox One X 12GB RAM Brought Envisioned Concepts to Life – Project Code: SHIFT Dev

Developers of the upcoming 2D hack and slash title talk about having the power to push the game's limits.

[alb1899]

That's what I'm talking about.

[EddieT]

They already had that power on PC, I don't see what the X brings to the table that wasn't already there.

[DrumBeat]

We're talking about console gaming here. You know this, yet you insist on bringing up the leverage a PC can have. Again, we're talking about console evolution. This has nothing to do with PC, get it?

[LastCenturyRob]

Console article Eddie..Also, the equivalent that you get with th X including the 4k Bluray drive is quite a bit cheaper than if you retailed similar specs on a pc for purchase.

[jasonpugh]

Take the PC talk to a PC forum where you guys can compare your video cards and who has the bigger rig. Lol.

[Bobafret]

You mean who can blow the most money in order to post the best Future Mark scores?

EddieT,
"They already had that power on PC"

- No shiii, Sherlock....next you'll tell me jets are still faster than the new Bugatti Chiron.

-Then I suppose you'll try to convince me a jet doesn't cost much more than a Bugatti (Bugatti Chiron $2 million, F-35 Raptor $160 million)...lol, just in case you actually try.

Consoles..... never been there. Context. Recognize it.

[EddieT]

Lots of sensitive console fans here I see. Having now seen the art style of this game I can see that having that much RAM will do little to nothing to help the developer. Hardly a demanding game.

[DrumBeat]

Agreed. The extra ram was absolutely necessary. Gives a lot of extra leeway. Witcher 3 loading in an instant on a console is remarkable. Keep up the good work Microsoft.

[sin7279]

9 gb not 12!

[headblackman]

@ sin7279

it's still 12gigs. 9gigs is just allocated to games development (for now!)

[4Sh0w]

Given Microsoft's history with some of the best tech engineers in the world the good news is they will definitely shrink that OS footprint to give devs even more of that 12gigs.

[PFFT]

@4Sh0w
Yep yep! Soon they will add that feature. And if i am not mistaken they already did with the XB1.

[andrewsquall]

Like incredible years in advance tech, animations, shaders, physics? Oh wait, any game this dev makes for X is coming to standard Xbone too. Never mind.

[LastCenturyRob]

@ andersquall...Stop trolling..So what if the same games comes out for the XS...By your logic lower spec'd gaming pc's are bringing down higher end gaming pcs...Which is not the case in the least. As with PC the games on the X will be at higher graphic settings, higher resolution with better frame rates where the XS will be at lower settings..... Same game, but one will look and preform significantly better, but you knew that already.

[DrumBeat]

Oh look you typed a comment.

[Bobafret]

They can make everything scalable now, it's not like back in the days of lowest common denominator.

[Cmv38]

Exactly. If the game is playable on the original xb1, are they saying the game is shit on the xb1?

@rob

That isn't his logic at all.

[SkippyPaccino]

I guess the Xbox one S version will make the system explode... Good old gamingbolt, always willing to go the extra mile... for Microsoft. They must have an undying love for Xbox... or a big fat check...

Anyways... The X is out, it's time to play people, not talk about pixels

[kevnb]

that doesn't sound like a Microsoft pr message at all.

[jukins]

On an indie game. . . A 2d indie game that is also on xb1s but the xb1x enabled them to bring the vision to life

[DrumBeat]

What's wrong with a developer being happy that he can push his game further on console? That's every developers dream. More resources, leeway, power, etc to be able to make their game exactly how they want with as little compromise as possible.

[Silly gameAr]

Do you guys talk about anything else? This is shilling at this point.

[DrumBeat]

It's... new? This is what happens with new game consoles? They get talked about a lot? It's a video game console made by a company who was recently struggling and is now beginning to regain its footing. Get used to it for a month or so, and definitely get used to the comparisons. They're going to keep coming, and they're going to keep favoring Xbox One X, because it's more powerful. Sorry, I feel like I have to be very specific with you after that silly question.

[HyperMouse]

Gaming news atm, BF2 hate and XboxX comparisons
