Xbox One X

I thought the PS Pro had an update for Fallout 4 that included higher resolution textures and it hasn't yet been released for the Xbox?

Edit: McBain confirming what I thought, need to do the comparison when the patch is released. I'd also think the main advantage is the X won't require you to turn your volume up to 11 to drown out the fan noise.

Exactly that, wait for a patch then compare it.

The X1X Fallout 4 patch hasn't been released yet, so not surprising it looks better on the Pro.

Ah thanks, I take the negatives back. I can't fault the console.

Nabbed ME:Andromeda from the sale... if ever there was a game that needs an X patch it's this. After watching all the youtube trailers and what not where it looks really rather tasty I was quite surprised to find the game doesn't even play at 1080P 30FPS, it's at some God awful 900p resolution with low res textures that makes my 4K screen look like it's smeared with vaseline.

It doesn't even have resolution scaling it's just 900p always, with the occasional cut scene where you get to taste 1080P before being relegated back to filthy 900p.

If all they did was bring out a patch to allow 1080P during gameplay it'd make a huge difference. But from looking around it seems like EA killed the ME franchise so it'll probably never happen.

I doubt it will happen, the team have pretty much been disbanded.

So MS are saying not to plug the S or X into a surge protector as it has one built in. Any thoughts on this chaps?

Yeah I read that. Apparently it's caused some of the issues people had with the console not turning on. I guess if any surge issues occur and damage the console, at least it's in writing from Microsoft.

Strange, not according to my console. Also 'in development' according to this: https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/xbox-one/xbox-one-x-enhanced-list

Fallout 4 isn't 4K yet on X1X, at least as far as I can tell. Nothing in my games list suggests it's enhanced, no patch has been downloaded.

Had mine plugged into a surge plug board - one that kills all but a couple of plugs when the TV is turned off.

Had issues with my 1x when I first had it - would turn itself off before fully booting up.

Basically with my new TV every time the tv went dark/black it would turn the xbox off.

Disabled the surge protection and had no further issues.
