Does anyone know what xbox one games will work on the new console?

All of them.

is it still worth buying a new console if you dont have a 4k tv?

I refer the honourable gentleman to the reply I gave some moments ago.

No, if you intend on getting a 4k TV then yes. Same situation as there's no point getting PS4 Pro unless you have a 4k tv.

I don't fully agree. Super sampling of 4k games and anything that has a dynamic resolution will now be locked at 1080p.

I don't agree either. From what I'm reading you'll see a marked improvement on all games even at 1080p. To be absolutely certain we'll just have to wait and see.

Willing to spend £450 on marked improvements at 1080p? No thanks

What about a minor improvement from the couch with 4k?

When do you reckon they're coming?
I'd hazard a guess at 2020 (7 years from xbox one release) , so you might be waiting a while..

MS won't drop a new Xbox for quite awhile. They'll push XB1X hard and drop price before much else.
2019 reveal for PS5, prob out in 2020. Depends on sales next year I would imagine. They may bring it forward a year. (For PS5)

Me I couldn't give a stuff if it's running games at native 4K or checkerboard, whatever that is. As long as it looks good. And my PS4 Pro looks plenty good on my Samsung KS7000. I'm not even that bothered of talk of 30/60 fps caps. As long as the game plays ok. Even happy with the price. As long as my old Xbox One games work on it and even a few get upgrades I'll be very happy. Maybes I'm not fussy?

Yeah im like that too. For example movies that i find entertaining to watch, the user ratings and critics seem to rate poorly. Guess im easily pleased.

If you're not fussy, why bother paying out for the upgrades? The entire point of this and the PS4 is the technical improvements, there's really no other reason to consider it otherwise.

Sorry but that's the most bizarre justification for buying it...why don't you just say it's new and shiny so I want it?

Where are you guys are planning on preordering from?

Battery! · 18 Jun 2017 at 19:16

Amazon for me.

John Lewis for 2 year warranty if they have any otherwise Argos

Mull3t · 18 Jun 2017 at 23:03

Any word when pre orders go live?

Perfectly valid reason.

Has there been much explanation of what 1080p users will be getting if they go XOX? Do we get supersampling?

Yeah, 16x AF and supersampling

Older games that don't have specific patches for the One X will benefit from 16xAF, Supersampling AA, and games that either have dynamic resolution scaling and currently don't hit their 1080p/30 or 60fps will be boosted to allow solid 1080p/30 or 1080p/60 i.e games like battlefield 1, and also games who target a 30 or 60 fps cap that currently don't hit it on the One/One S should run smoother at their target fps
