Potentially stupid question but haven't found h=the answer yet. I have an XB1, and am looking to pre order some upcoming games such as F1, Fifa, etc. Will these work find on XB1X? Will they somehow get patched once the new console is out to run in 4k? Or will the XB1X have games released specifically for it?
ALL old and future games will work . patching for better graphics depends on the maker.
All games for Xbox will work across all current gen Xbox consoles i.e. If you buy Fifa it will play on the Xbox One, Xbox One S and Xbox One X. There aren't specific games just for the new Xbox One X. So any games you currently own will work just fine on the new One X
Some older games will have patches to allow them to use the extra power of the One X, which might include higher frame rates, up to 4K resolution etc, but not every old game will be enhanced (expect to see more on which existing games will have patches at gamescom this evening) However older games that won't get patched, but say targeted 1080p/30fps or 1080p/60fps that didn't quite reach their target on the One/S etc might see them hit their target on the One X because they use game engines that naturally will use that extra power by default.
I would imagine most games being released from now on will probably have an enhanced mode for the One X
Brilliant thanks all. And will games con this evening be when the XB1X is officially released, or a least for pre order? Also, what 4k tvs do you guys use or are looking at to go with this console?
Gamescom event this evening I believe is just some more information about the games coming, some info about which existing games are being enhanced and so rumours say it will release for pre order today.
The actual release is the 7th November.
With regards to 4k TV's I can't help you there, I've only got a 1080p one a couple of years ago so that will have to last a little while longer, preferably until OLED 55" screens are below £1000!

Getting excited about this for some reason although i ditched xbox for PC gaming in 2013. Getting disillusioned with PC's with the price of gpu's Recently although my 3570K and 290X lightning are still rocking it for me.
Best thing I did was give up on PC gaming. Spent more time actually playing games rather than benchmarking and tweaking. I don't see the big differences anymore and just enjoy it for what it is....
I play the odd game of Civ on my laptop but don't miss it at all....

Although im PC gaming the one thing i dont do is like you say, Benchmarking and getting hung up on FPS. If the game runs smooth and looks decent i aint bothered. Ill probably just carry on untill something in the PC dies then ill have to reevaluate.
As much as I'd like to ditch PC gaming completely, there are games on PC which I love that aren't on console, or ever likely to be, such as Total War series, Hearts of Iron series, most strategy games etc, but for everything else I can see me going console only due to PC part prices

Any reason why to wait to see about HDMI 2.1 screens? Would we see any benefit from it in this generation? Genuine question as I was looking to get a B7 too.
New hdmi 2.1 screens are meant to be coming out early next year. If it's as good as G-Sync it's going to be amazing and pretty much a game changer if you ask me. If you want something now then the B7 is going to be superb I would imagine the first 2.1 sets being silly money anyway even though they are saying they won't......
Always something round the corner as they say....
