I'm not impressed, to be honest. Comparing it to the Surface Book ad announcement video, which was awesome, this looks more like a project made by a student at the local community college.

Too bad they screwed up the launch of Xbox One so bad.  I'd be all over this if they had a way to get the publishers to grant you an Xbox license for all PS4 third party games you own.  Now I'm just too deep $ wise to switch mid generation.

People that don't frequent boards don't care about "the most powerful console ever," either, especially not at double the price of the alternative.

The bore is really for  non-serious game discussion. Wax details all you want, but don't be too serious about it.

But also I'm not sure the Xbox One X is really going to appeal to the person who doesn't frequent gaming boards. That same person probably has to ask the Target employee what 4k is and is probably more then happy with the far cheaper Xbox One S or PS4. How many Vizo tvs without HDR are sold? Probably more then a good Sony set. To me, it remains to be seen if the system sells beyond the choir.

Still not sure why Microsoft launches this thing without having new games ready.

Sure Blind Agency makes some kick-ass trailers and visuals but consoles used to have this thing called first party games.
On Earth-2 this ships with Lost Oddessey 2, Banjo Fourierie, Perfect Dark 2 and Crackdown Apocalypse.

Instead of Minecraft update 2493, Forza we-lost-count and Assassins Creed Egypt.

I've been surprised at the amount of people who went PS4 this gen who've all picked up Xbox 1X today.

My friendlists is full of people I haven't seen on Live for years.

MS seems to have made a very well thought out machine that shows clear differences between it's base version and the 'premium' XB1X.

I mean it even makes your BC games look great.

My brother bought the XboneX and is giving my mom his old XboneS so she can use it for Netflix. I'm at my mom's house a few times a week so now I'll get to check the system out. Any worthwhile exclusives that would be in my bag (I know this isn't last gen when they actually had a few Japanese exclusives)? I'm interested in Forza Horizon 3 due to it being set in the Australian Outback, and of course Ori... but I don't Halo, Gears, and most of the other big Xbox franchises. And I have Cuphead on PC already.

PS Pro has always been complete and utter shit from a technical perspective. The fact this system can actually do native 4K really needs to be hammered home in their marketing.

With that being said I’ve got a feeling this is going to not do well sales wise considering widespread availability of preorders and Microsoft hasn’t yet said a peep about first day sales when they’ve been historically pretty proactive about touting their sales numbers.

To the surprise of nobody, really. It's an upgrade of an already unpopular console that expects you to pay an extra $300 or so for the horsepower.

Unless Microsoft does ads that show Halo/Gears/et. al. in 4K with Porn-HOLY-SHIT-YOU-CAN-SEE-THE-POURS-ON-THAT-GUYS-DICK! level of difference between the PS4Pro and it, I can't really see people biting on it.

I wish they had their shit together for respectable outlets like Digital Foundry to have tons of analysis out. As of now their coverage has been pretty weak. I'm not 100% sure whose fault it is, but it seems like for a lot of games the Xbox X patch only came out a few days ago or on launch.

It doesn't matter about the exclusives. Nobody besides Videowhores gives a shit about 4K. See the Steam User chart of the resolutions, a lot of the majority of the Steam userbase is using 1080i because it's the "cheapest" HD monitors around now a days and most couldn't care. Could their hardware do 4K? Maybe/maybe not, depending on the year their built/specs, but a lot of folks simply don't care about 4K.

Oh don't worry Phil "yeah but ours is TRUE 4k" Spencer is on the case.
Except that a ton of games will be dynamic res at best, or use something similar to checkerboard rendering :lol.

I'm not expecting better numbers than the Pro. Probably even lower, I'd guess, with the higher price tag and the poisoned Xbox One name.

Got mine yesterday and I'm very impressed. Beautiful machine. Siting next to my Pro it looks so small but man does it feel very solid.

Night and day difference on the games. Especially if you've been playing them on the OG XB1. Having no jaggies or soft vaseline screen at all is weird at first.

Downloading the Battlefront 2 demo off EA Access and will give that a run through later. Halo 5 looks astonishing considering what that looked like on the old Xbox 1. Gears 4 just looks obscene Forza 7 I played on the Xbox 1 then when it arrived on the 1X and again massive difference.

In terms of multiplats. I'm thinking of what games that will have time to go a bit more crazy like RDR2 and Far Cry 5 will look like. The biggest difference on this machine is stuff like grass and foliage looks really good. Get ready for grass gate 2.

I'm only playing on a 1080p TV atm and I'm pretty impressed. When my 4K TV turns up in a few weeks I'm expecting to faint.

Is it worth the upgrade? For me I played all my multiplats and MP stuff on my Xbox 1 over my PS4 Pro so it was. My Pro is for Sony exclusives that take my fancy.

I think anyone expecting this to turn the tide is a bit deluded. Im sure not even MS thinks that but it does a few things. It's going to make Sony have to scramble on a few things, and gives MS the best Multiplat crown for I'm going to say the next 2 years. And it 'rehabilitate's the Xbox Brand in the eyes of gamers, the huge amount of people I've seen coming back 'onboard' has been interesting.

The lack of exclusives situation is overblown the games are there and now they don't need to compromise on them graphically, so next year is going to be interesting.

It's overblown in the sense of list wars. As these games ebb and flow in frequency and number. Last year the Xbox had arguably better retail exclusives than the PS4, what good did that do it?

A balanced machine is obviously preferred and yes MS has been missing BIG multiple AAA exclusives I'm guessing from their POV why throw more of their games out looking dreadful when they have a newer better machine coming.

I guess we'll see how they improve themselves next year.

Which was a sure sign that nobody was gonna jump on upgrading their PS4->Pro or X-box->4K unless their launch/cheaper console broke.

Could their hardware do 4K? Maybe/maybe not, depending on the year their built/specs, but a lot of folks simply don't care about 4K.

Your armchair analysis with no substantial research or data doesn't reflect the realities of planning an entertainment division for the next 10 years. Millions of dollars are poured into researching the market and forecasting what the consumers are trending towards. Two years ago it was working closely together with development partners to eventually put together that incremental hardware upgrades would be the most cost-effective solution to continue the life of a singular marketplace instead of completely up-ending a sustainable economy every 4 to 6 years. In addition the video game industry doesn't exist in a bubble; most modern day consumer electronic markets have championed the micro-upgrade model to amazing success and Sony/MS want to emulate that. To maximize revenue you put your consumers in a managed continual upgrade cycle that doesn't nullify their software portfolio. At the time it made sense and having two multi-national corporations invest hundreds of millions of dollars into that plan confirms that.

After the PS Pro fizzling out and the Xbox One X seemingly not doing much sales-wise that's clearly not the case. We couldn't have known that beforehand.

After the PS Pro fizzling out and the Xbox One X seemingly not doing much sales-wise that's clearly not the case. We couldn't have know that beforehand however.
So, what now? A more substantial refresh in a couple years?

I like the PS4 Pro and the XB1X, but I weaseled up a bunch of trade credit towards them both so I didn't lay out much actual cash for either. I couldn't have built a PC with the XB1X specs at the price point. Neither of them are going to take off until they lower the price, kill off the OG PS4 and XB1, and 4K TVs become more prevalent within the next couple of years. 4K TVs above 40 inches will become the standard, the media drives the market and nearly all media has shifted towards being shot/released in 4K, even shows that aren't aired on standard television in 4K are releasing in the format. This isn't a gimmick like 3D, it's a resolution shift with a clear visible impact on larger screens. And a lot of 4K TVs are already hitting mass market price points (check the black Friday sales, some 40+ inch 4KTVs are coming down pretty close to the $200 mark).

Honestly, fuck up jacking over Sony. Xbox has console exclusives, more than 3 and less than Sony. It should really depend on what gives you the most enjoyment, if you enjoy playstation games more, great. Dont really need to hear every day that you specifically enjoy playstation more than xbox. Do what you enjoy without being a cunt basically.

and as I got lol'd at prior to this, seems like my prediction is coming true.

Halo Wars 2
Forza 7

Cuphead
Super Lucky's Tale

That's 4, and that's it for 2017. Niche, lootbox hell, amazing, shit.  I'm sure there are some no name indie digital "exclusives" too but Sony has a ton of those too.

And don't get me wrong, I like niche games. I bought HW2. But niche games keep your user base happy as part of a full lineup. It can't be your tentpole for half the year.

I said console exclusive btw, its obviously very intentional MS are trying to set up a PC gaming infrastructure with windows. But irregardless its silly to exclude console exclusives just because its on PC also, there is obviously a divide in markets.

edit: or are you only listing games you enjoy?

I named the 2 retail discs MS released this year and the 2 indie games they promoted. I'm cool with their PC strategy. I only liked two of those games. Can you name another or not? Temporary exclusive PUBG?

On PS4 I bought nier dqh2 horizon crash wipeout ff12 everybody's Golf. I skipped nioh persona uncharted and gran turismo. I bet I'm missing some too, maybe a tales game? These are some of the highest reviews of the year and cover a broad spectrum of tastes.

On digital it's hard to remember what's exclusive but I got windjammers FF9 and Nidhogg 2 at least. I'm sure there are more low-impact digital exclusives just like on XBone. I bet there aren't so many on XBone though if MS felt the need to promote turds like Lucky.

There is a massive gap in major retail releases this year dude. It's a problem. I barely touched my Xbox this year until cuphead came out. Just comparing this year of MS against other years of MS is a bad look. My 360 and for a time, my XBone was poppin.

They've been trailing off for a while. Phil Spencer gets nonstop fan BJs but near as I can tell he's done nothing but close studios, cancel projects, and get old projects gasping to the finish line. I was ready to buy an XBone X a year ago but his roadmap of "maybe start fixing this with buyouts in 2018 and releases in 2021" is not inspiring my confidence in this platform.

Then you've got insomniac who say they'd start on a new sunset overdrive tomorrow if anyone wanted to fund it. Where's my main man gamer Phil with that infinite MS pocketbook? Too busy almost putting Platinum out of business with a similar partnership to get me a sequel to one of the best games of the gen.

Sony's in house exclusives have been stinky dick this generation. No mans sky, the order, knack, killzone, drive club. Gran turismo has finally come out and Forza still kills that. Lets not forget a bunch of vr shit.

 Youve got naughty dog, david cage lol, god of war, horizon, and that one horror game that came out a few years ago. Thats the best of the best. :lol

Ps4 beats xbone when it comes to japanese support for smaller franchises.

Also, look at how many in house studios Sony has axed over the years. Its unbelievable Sony still gets its ass licked for doing the bare minimum  :lol

Nobody would buy it, which is why he/MS won't bankroll it. The fact that Insomanic says "we're having trouble getting funding for it!" is telling. I seriously don't know anyone besides you and Wrath that would want a sequel. Hell, I'd maybe play it if MS allowed them to port it to Steam/PC, but... :doge

there are two Xbones in the house, and whilst i still need to go back and finish GoW4 - that's about it - there's just no desire to switch either on. Maybe there going to get some hot killer stuff in next few years which i guess is Halo, Forza, GoW, Halo, Forza, GoW, Halo, Forza, GoW, Halo, Forzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

I have no desire for an Xbox One X and the PS4 is the dominant platform, PC picking up Cuphead and stuff like that, and , to my shock/horror, the Switch being pretty good.

I have long since vacated my XFE crown, so someone else can claim it.

This goddamn thread.  :lol

Anyway I've been enjoying my new Xbox. It really makes a difference for the games, even on my soon to be replaced 1080p TV. Although I got to try it out on a friends B6 OLED over the weekend and that was amazing.

Happy that jaggies seem to have been mostly excised. Mostly been playing Wolfenstein 2 and Ghost Recon: Wildlands and not having garbage tier textures has been great. Titanfall 2 looks great as well and Madden and playing Battlefront 2 in the cinema suite in my apartment building was  :o . Even stuff like the Sims 4 looks pretty damm good on here.

Also have to say MS has done an amazing job with whatever magic they're doing with their BC stuff. Seems Sony kicking their ass this gen has refocused MS.

Post by: Rahxephon91 on November 16, 2017, 02:39:15 AM
So let me tell you how I got my Project Scorpion Edition for about $150.

So when I'm not doing plumbing I work at Target and have so for about three years. I work in electronics(surprise).

So I had already planned to buy my X and decided to get at work. My local Gamestop had said they would look out for me, and even called to tell me that they had one for me. Nice guys, but that 10% was too nice to pass up on. So I traded in my Xbox One S to target and two games I would replace with the X copies equaling about $175. So I was there on launch day and with discounts and giftcards, I payed about $250 out of pocket. Not bad.

Three days later we received 3 Scorpio Editions as Returns. Cool. Don't really care about it, but I guess they opened one to check if the serial numbers were correct. Interesting, so technically we're supposed to print repack stickers for open electronics. Which then usually drops the price. Yet, they did'nt because honestly the units were not touched. So I ask guest service to print one, just one for the most obviously opened one. Drops the price to $350. AMAZING. I take it back to electronics. Ask my co-worker and Head people if what I'm doing is ok. They kind of say it is because the system dosen't appear to be super hot, but it's gotta be on the floor for 15 mins at least before a team member can buy it. Thats fine, I put it in the glass case, but because the case is small the boxes have to be face down. So no one will see the lowered price unless they ask. No one asks and 15mins later I take it back out and ask my coworker to go hold it as I head home to get mine to return.

Im a nerd so I held unto the box, but I threw out the inside packaging. Yet, I also threw out some pop so all the the stuff needs to be cleaned up. So here I am cleaning Styrofoam. Whatever, I get it together, take it back, return it, and buy the $350 Xbox which with all my stuff makes it about $120 out of pocket. 

Titanfall 2 looks amazing in 4k. Wolfenstien 2 was great, but I'm not sure if it was better than what I saw on the pro. In the end I'm seeing a lot of great image quality, which is kind of what I wanted.

Post by: Vertigo on November 18, 2017, 02:00:57 PM
It's a very solid machine and being a XB1 owner until I got my Pro last year the image quality jump is amazing.

I'm just happy I'll have my Pro for the Sony exclusives I want to pick up and can continue to buy all my multiplats on my Xbox but now they won't have crappy res.

I ordered one of these from eBay for 459.99 and a $50 Xbox gift card:

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F122935517746

Auction is still open above.

The deal actually works out even better because I wasn’t charged sales tax, so that like another 8% discount over buying it retail.

Pretty stoked... even though I also now need a 4K monitor and a 2 monitor stand to be fully set up.

Hooked up the 1X tonight, but my 4K monitor is not yet here.

It is surprisingly heavy.

Also, if anybody is trying to tell you something like “it’s even worth it at 1080p because much better image quality, whatever”... don’t believe them. It might look minutely better, but not to where I would be able to tell outside of side to side.

Destiny 2 looks great!...

That said, if your not a resolution whore I’m not sure if it is worth it, I’m actually not even sure it is worth it for me. It definitely looks better, and if you stand next to another guardian in destiny, the intricate details on the armor look fucking fantastic. But I’m not sure i would notice it if I didn’t sit at a computer desk.
