Re: Xbox One

I think in term of owning both consoles, it is a hard sell. I let my daughter take my PS4 because I just wasn't playing it much. I do kinda wish I had it back for Everybody's Golf, but it's not denting my time playing video games.

So the Xbox One X is an easy sell for me, and the PS4 Pro isn't even a consideration. I expect people more attached to the Sony ecosystem to feel the same way about the XB1X. But many gamers like to have it all.

But since they are iterations, at this point, it has to be hard to justify owning the premium consoles from both companies, when you can still play all the games on your secondary console without upgrading. It's why I bought a PS4 Slim instead of a Pro last spring. I knew I was getting an XB1X when it came out.

Personally, I can't wait.

Re: Xbox One

Yea, I love my Pro would never get did of it. Sony's exclusives are too good to let go.

I'm with you bro, I'm really struggling to justify it. I want it but aside from Forza 7 I'm just seeing a hard time as to what I'd be using all that power for.

I’m the opposite since 90% of all my gaming is multiplatform games.

The recent announcement that it's whisper quiet sold me twice over, haha. Having a machine that powerful be whisper quiet is awesome.

I couldn’t agree more. I play late night sometimes and appreciate the system not being loud.

I understand and Sony exclusives are superior but I have not played a Sony exclusive past beating it once besides the Show which is a sports game and starting to get stale for me

I will always keep my pro to play exclusives but the x is where the best performning multi plats will occur and that to me sells itself

Well I'm definitely down to buying multiplatform games on the Xbox One X over my PS4 Pro but again, just don't see very many wow titles that make me think "definitely have to get the Xbox One X as in on November 7"

I'll have an Xbox One X at some point in the near future....I am just trying to decide if I really plan to actually keep the Scorpio on Nov 7 I have preordered or try to sell it for a little extra dough and just get a regular X later on maybe in March or something.

Agreed. Last of us is amazing but I still get more miles out of a franchise like gears. With horde mode I can play the current gears game until the next one comes out. Last of us I beat once and haven’t touched it since. Obviously an amazing game but replay value goes a long ways for me that why I lean more towards the middle Sony/Microsoft exclusive wise. Both have advantages.

I think most people are like this. If not a lot of people are missing out on some great games. I think multiplats will drive X sales and it’s why I can’t wait. Mostly Everything I’m playing now will look/play even better. Getting close now.

I'm going to need to see a substantial difference out of the main titles such as Madden 18, 2k18, Battlefield etc...I'm keeping my Pro no matter what the exclusive lineup is loaded and I like the PS community. I do want the X but not really feeling a need for it at the moment. I'm more excited about Mario Oddessy and Zelda lol

Re: Xbox One

Just got an email that my Xbox One X Scorpio edition could not be picked up at my local store and I was like..why??

So I go to the site and here is what it says:

Best Buy Marysville is Closing October 28th
The Best Buy Marysville store is permanently closing at the end of the day on October 28th. We apologize for the inconvenience. While this store is closing, Best Buy is in your community to stay like our Best Buy Tuttle Crossing store located at 5800 Britton Pkwy Dublin, OH 43016. To find another location, use the store locator or shop 24/7 on BestBuy.com.

I called Bestbuy and am having it shipped to my home now. Really disappointing because the nearest Best Buy now is about 30 minutes away instead of about 3 minutes away, LOL.

Re: Xbox One

The Best Buy around my job in Lansing, IL. is closing Oct 28th. The store wasn't doing too bad. Now if I want to pick up from store, I have to go 15 mins away, on a toll road.

I guess that's a drop dead date for several Best Buys then...

Digital Foundry: Xbox One X Shadow of War shows profound improvements over PS4 Pro

Implementation of the PC version's 4K texture pack would have done wonders here, but clearly the limited 512MB of extra RAM available to Pro developers isn't enough to house the top-tier assets. And that's the most immediately obvious difference between PS4 Pro and Xbox One X versions of the game - what sticks out right away is that texture problems on PS4 Pro are eradicated. Through sheer capacity via Xbox One X's 12GB of GDDR5 memory, Shadow of War offers a dramatic improvement in quality: for example, ground textures get a clear resolution bump from the soup-like results on Pro, offering a sharper, clearer presentation.

Monolith has also brought over the dual presentation modes from PS4 Pro - and enhanced them. There's a quality-biased offering that prioritises better visual settings like draw distance, along with a resolution mode that delivers a native 4K image. And to be clear, both options deliver better textures than PS4 Pro regardless of which you choose. On quality mode you get the best assets possible on Xbox One X, while the resolution mode uses a slightly lower quality texture filtering - blurring the ground slightly, despite using the same texture seting. Compared to PS4 Pro's texture work on its quality mode (which is also a match for its resolution mode), these still both trump it in sheer clarity though - it's a big upgrade.

On top of the quality and resolution modes shared with Sony's 'supercharged' console, Xbox One X adds another toggle that can be deployed on either preset: dynamic resolution. It's hard-set on PS4 Pro, but Xbox One X users can disable it if they want to take their chances with a less stable performance level. Assuming that toggle is disabled, what you get in quality mode is a native resolution of 3520x1980. That's 1980p fixed on Xbox One X - or very close to it - bringing a leap in image quality over the PS4 Pro's ballpark 2880x1620 output.

Based on the Gamescom build, Xbox One X's resolution mode bears mention too if you want a superior 4K picture. From what we've tested, a native 3840x2160 is achieved from the machine this way, fixed at that number, as long as the dynamic res checkbox is left blank. The machine forces the maximum resolution here, but at the cost of texture filtering and LOD quality we have on the quality mode, it's maybe not the best way to go. Based on playing through Shadow of War in both quality and resolution mode with dynamic res enabled and disabled, we'd trade the clarity of the game's 4K output for the additional features of the quality mode.

And yes, we'd enable dynamic resolution too. Quality mode with this checkbox selected can drop the pixel count to 3360x1890 - the lowest point we've measured so far. For reference, that's still higher than PS4 Pro's lowest measurement of 1512p in quality mode, and sees a 56 per cent improvement in pixel count.

And as expected, all of these numbers super-sample down to a 1080p set if you haven't made the upgrade to 4K yet - a feature Microsoft says is common to all X titles.

Amazing how much of a beast the XBOX ONE X is ....It shows just how much more powerful it is over the PRO

Can do 4k textures

**ricky24** · 10-19-2017, 04:47 PM

Re: Xbox One

That’s an early build too. Awesome news for third party titles on X

Dude, that difference is "someone is getting fired at Sony" order of magnitude.
