I don't care about console wars or anything like that... having said that, that video is flat out awesome. The detail is phenomenal.
*game drop 1-2fps*
*screen tear in the top of the screen while the rest of the screen is ripping apart at the seams due to time/space distortions collapsing into itself*
"you should be concerned about this build..."
I'll be fine. Looks good.
On Neogaf they said that QB is being done by one employee in his spare time, anyone know if that's true? doesn't surprise me that the game isn't native 4K being that it 720p reconstructed to look like 1080p on the base console. The One X footage that was shown looks better than the standard console for sure, hopefully they get the framerate to a locked 30 for those wanting to play it on the One X. Dropping a few frames doesn't sound big but being that it's dipping below 30 it will be something you'd notice more than if it were a 60 fps game dipping into the 50's and it doesn't help that it's a non native 4K game that dips below 30 fps on a $500 console. Then again if it really is only being done by one person it sure is better than nothing, especially with what looks like the additional option of going native 1080p with what sounds like no frame drops reported so far.
I don't trust gaf at all anymore. That said I wonder are they talking MS or Remedy employee?
Still no Doom on the list either, despite showing it numerous times in their montages at the X conference.
Probably got delayed a bit. They're probably all hands on deck to make sure Wolfenstein 2 gets gold cert and better X enhanced for that first.
BestBuy having xboxonex demos this weekend.

That's broken. They have the analog sticks backwards? You can't get that wrong! That right analog stick was the best.
The amount of enhanced games has grown this week.
used the tab in the "my games and apps" section to select Xone Enhanced games, pleasantly surprised to see 353 of the 520 on my HD's will get the enhancements so far.
looking good so far.

Microsoft explains how Xbox One X games will run better on 1080p TVs

A lot of the focus of Microsoft’s new Xbox One X console is on 4K and HDR gaming, but there are thousands of Xbox fans who still haven’t upgraded to a 4K TV. While the 4K focus is obvious, Microsoft is explaining in more detail exactly how existing games will run better on an Xbox One X without a 4K TV.
Microsoft has an Xbox One X Enhanced program, which means games with the “Enhanced” tag have been optimized for the new console. This doesn’t necessarily mean that 4K and HDR have been added, as there are separate logos for those features, but Enhanced means the game will run better on the Xbox One X on a 1080p or 4K TV.
Microsoft is allowing developers to use supersampling to ensure games still look better on a 1080p TV. Supersampling essentially scales down 4K image quality to a 1080p screen, so you get the benefits of texture improvements, faster framerates, and improved image quality. A 1080p supersampled image should still be a noticeable improvement over what the Xbox One S currently provides.
However, Rise of the Tomb Raider is a good example of offering choice for gamers. You can pick between an enriched 1080p mode with more advanced textures and better environments, or a 4K native mode. Other games will simply enhance the 1080p version and never offer a 4K equivalent, and others will focus on 4K support.

I don't know about anyone else, but I do. I got a really sweet deal on Panasonic ZT60 a few years ago and it still beats *most* of the 4k stuff I've seen...so far.
It's just a matter of time before I upgrade though.
Plenty do. Assume you were joking but yeah. Good to know that HDTV owners will still be getting a nice boost with the Xbox One X. I have a decision to make this fall. Do i take my talents to Redmond and pump some DMX and get the One X, or do i stick with the Japanese giant and get the PS4 Pro. In TD's world, we may never know.

Microsoft Xbox One X: World’s most powerful 4K console blows the competition out the water

Microsoft Xbox One X: World’s most powerful 4K console blows the competition out the water
MICROSOFT'S Xbox One X is out this November. We've had the chance to preview the console and it really is the world’s most powerful 4K console around.
The Xbox One X touts itself as ‘the world’s most powerful console’.
It’s a big mission statement, and one you’d be forgiven for taking with a pinch of salt.
However, for the Xbox One X, it’s totally true: there can be no doubt it really is the world’s most powerful console.
The Xbox One X manages to reverse a trend that’s been true of this generation so far: Microsoft has outrun Sony.
At the launch of this generation, we saw the PS4 outperform the Xbox One in terms of technical achievement and sales, and now it looks like the mid-generational refresh has seen Microsoft catch up to the Japanese tech giant.
We had the chance to play with the Xbox One X at a Microsoft event in London recently, and we can confirm it does make games look incredible.
At the event we took Gears of War 4 for a spin on the machine and while this is an ageing game now (by games industry standards, anyway), the 4K boost did wonders for the assets.
Enemy models looked far better than in the base version of the game, and the environments seemed to ‘pop’ more, allowing you to appreciate the effort the developers but into the title.
Despite being shown in 4K, however, the game still didn’t look amazing.
It didn’t have the graphical impact of, say, Horizon: Zero Dawn on PS4 - it was still nice to look at, but for the most part, it felt upscaled… like a slightly better-looking version of Gears of War 4.
That may be because the game was developed before studios had access to the development kits for the Xbox One X properly, though.
Cut to our experience with Forza Motorsport 7, and you can see what the power of the Xbox One X can really do when a developer has been working with the kit for sometime.
Turn 10’s latest game really lives up to what Microsoft calls ‘uncompressed pixels’.
Other UHD formats you may have seen - UHD Blu-Rays, streaming services - they’re all going to suffer from compression somewhere.
Thanks to the way Forza 7 is read by the Xbox One X, however, you suffer very little direct compression.
And the result is probably one of the best things we’ve ever seen in 4K.
The game doesn’t just settle for looking good and funnelling you through predictable tracks - there’s a dynamic, real-time weather system embedded in there, too, and some of the cleanest lighting you’ll see in a racing game to boot.
The game’s performance outstrips that of Gran Turismo and Project Cars at every turn, and shows a very bright future for what the Xbox One X can achieve in the hands of studios that can work with Microsoft to really get the most out of the new machine.
We also got chance to play Rise of the Tomb Raider on the One X - and from this it’s clear to see how third-party developers intend to use the technology.
First thing to note is that the Xbox One X version sometimes seems to outperform even the top-end PC version of the game.
The second thing to note is that it outperforms even the PS4 Pro version - if that’s a statement of how key publishers like Square Enix will be treating their games versus Microsoft’s Sony competitor, it stands the Xbox manufacturer in very good stead indeed.
If you’re keen on upgrading to a 4K TV and want to get simply the best graphical performance out of a videogame you as you can this year, you’ve nowhere better to go than the Xbox One X.
Microsoft really isn’t trying to dupe you when it says the machine is the world’s ‘most powerful console’.
At this early stage at least, for first and third-party titles alike, it blows the competition out the water.
