Xbox Scorpio

The thing is, in order for these enhanced versions for both the xbox 1x and PS 4 pro to be taken seriously, the xbox 1x will have to sell very well, if it doesn't then it will be much like the ps 4 pro enhanced versions i.e. half assed with no real benefit and/or arrive months later.....

Personally I don't see the big deal about games being upscaled to 4k or it being native 4k etc. either:

Pc problem when it comes to game consistency is there is too much choice in essence, they have to try configure for so many set ups which is why some users get great experience and others don't and it varies by game.

Xbox/PlayStation is locked hardware so it's much easier for them to code and push it further imo

Im inteterested for £450. Not sure if I will plump for one this year though. Need to get a 4k TV first. I reckon come spring next year it will be around the £399 maybe lower.

Saying that I might just get caught up in the release hype and go banzai and splurge a wad on a new TV, a pro and an X! Lol

Xbox Daily show begins in 10 minutes on Mixer for another chance to get your Rare Replay freebie.

Tonight they are deconstructing and reconstructing an Xbone X as the whole thing is apparently modular and just fits together like lego.

So what happening with the disks for the Xbox one X can you just buy the Xbox One disk or will it be totally new games you have to buy?

The game data is supposedly all on one disc - the same disc for all Xbox One consoles. Although you might have to download 4K texture pack perhaps.

Impressed by how clean the OG Xbox games look running on the Xbone. They're just showing Fusion Frenzy now.

Honestly couldn't care about backwards compatibility.

Seems I'm not the only one:

Never used backwards compatibility on any Sony console I've owned that offered it, but I think with digital becoming more and more popular, I would like to have the ability going forward to at least play games purchased for a previous system where I can't sell the game, as its attached to my account.

So, it might prove useful going forward. Its on the things I did like about Steam. I mean, my PS2 went years ago as I sold the games with it. My PS3 however due to some digital purchases, I've kept the console as I have no other means to play the games I got, and I can't sell them either..

RedStarRiot · 14 Jun 2017 at 09:52

I get what you are saying and ideally with digital it becomes the norm. The data above show however that it caters to a VERY small user base and not really a necessity.

Apparently and myself have no idea if true metro was ran on a pc. Was put up on *******.

Ive read it was 4K60 on a PC for that demo. Xbone X will be 4K30.

Scort · 14 Jun 2017 at 10:27

Can't see me replacing my xbone for this, though I quite fancy a bit of 4K goodness for my new setup; it just doesn't look like there is much coming out for the xbonex...

At least they have moved back into making a games console this time
