Xbox One X

Looking to pick up a few games in the black friday sales hopefully.

Want to get Forza 7, can anyone recommend anything else, also looking at Gears 4 and TR Rise of the Tomb Raider, can't decide on which to get first if any of them enter the sales, as Im trying to go all digital on the X the prices are high at present but I think some good deals will be available shortly.
You can pick up Tomb Raider and Gears both pretty cheap pre owned now. Might be worth popping into your local game.

If all digital then fingers crossed they are in the sales

Yep, but I would like to get digital if cheap enough, what one would you say has the best single player story campaign if you had to choose?

Thank's
 
Tomb Raider hands down for me and I also think it's the best looking game on the X with native 4K and HDR along with 1080 and 60fps if you prefer.

Very different games though. I'd recommend both to be honest as Gears is fun, especially on co op. Maybe use the Game Pass and play Halo 5 as well

Thank you, will keep an eye on black Friday deals.
 
Anyone having issues with Party Chat not working correctly with the OG Headset plugged into the Scorpio Edition controller?

This isn't a NAT issue as correct Ports are open.

The Party Chat connects and reports the other person is speaking which is highlighted by the circle around their avatar. The other person can hear me speak but I cannot hear them through the headset. I turn the Party Chat output to the TV speakers and the other persons voice comes through fine there. Seems like a potential issue with the controller?

A quick restart of the console does not fix the issue but a full power down which has to include power off at the wall corrects the issue and I can hear the other party members through my headset.

Am I the only one with this problem?

Unfortunately I believe the X version will only have the option of 4K/30fps and 1080p/60fps. Still a decent step up over the regular Xbox One version anyway I guess.

Huh? Is this true? So the X isn't a true 60 fps / 4k machine?

Not having that issue and I'm using an original chat headset with a Scorpio controller.

I was a little surprised too since for whatever reason I was expecting it to be 4K/60fps. But, it hasn't been confirmed that it's 4K/30fps, just seems that it's looking likely - plenty of hits if you Google it like this one: https://www.windowscentral.com/forza-horizon-3-will-get-its-4k-upgrade-xbox-one-x-january

Hopefully we'll be surprised, but I'm not holding out much hope. However, saying it isn't a true 4K/60 machine is a bit of a stretch because some games of course are - like Forza Motorsport 7. Just depends on the game.
 
Well I've got one, immediately ordered a 4GB HDD, after seeing some of the game sizes! Main reasons, spent 3k on a 4k, HDR TV so I might as well get the latest 4k console, 4k uhd movies and Halo 5, GoW 4 and Forza 7 plus the hope that Dark Souls 1 will run and look better!
 
Just picked up Oblivion and Assassin's Creed for the 360 as both are X enhanced, only cost a fiver for both :D

Most of my UHDs are ISOs & mkvs so not had a chance to try the player yet, didn't know it was broken?

Tomb raider by a long shot. It's also the only game in the last 5 year I went back and 100 percented. Loved it so much I did it on the XB1 on release then went back and did the PC version and all the DLC,which again, I rarely ever do.

What I *will* say is,whenever possible,get the PC cross play versions. Its always nice to own both the PC and XB1 versions but its obviously price permitting.

All the new games out now and I'm playing Oblivion as well dude! It looks very nice in some areas with updated textures and the vistas and colours of them look amazing. Those faces though! :D
 
I think Mirrors Edge looks the best out of the 360 games I have seen, Gear3 a close second... not seen Halo 3 though.

Red Dead Redemption and GTA4 at 4k and HDR.. plllllleeeeeeasssee!!
 
Did anyone else's console set up process seem to take a while? It's done the initial patch and installed, set up the preferences and it finished and now just have a blank screen? Not sure if it's just taking it's time or if it's crashed out

Hmm turns out I had to press the home button and it sort of came back to life, surely it should have displayed on screen by itself!

*downloading gears 4. It's 104gb roughly, so does that include the X patch or will that be another update once the game is installed?

Same here mate, thought it crashed then fired to desktop soon as the controller was used.

One thing of note, this game comes with an actual manual, not a PDF, paper :eek:...and a world map that is tangible too.
