By Smokey Go To Posti am the least biased member here. been that way for years.
By Daz Go To PostSSDs will only prove to be a value point when it comes to in-game world transitions and generations not boot up times for consoles.Yes? My consoles and my pc are off unless I'm using them
I mean, is anyone's game devices ever off? mine is my youtube/prime/films and TV machine.

i wish they gave me a 100 like parasite eve did
By FootbalIFan Go To PostYes? My consoles and my pc are off unless I'm using themI used to turn off my ps2 by switching the AC flip on the back

at least it isn't a destructive battle royale loop
By Laboured Go To Post(May want to wait for the 4K encode)Microsoft doing it right
These games should have already been 60fps but this easily improved backward compatible stuff is cool
XSX backwards compatibility works how I wished backwards compatibility would've worked since the start of the PS4/XO gen.
By Nonja Go To PostHow does it force games with a locked 30fps to go to 60fps?They haven't said much about that yet. In the DF video, Richard says Microsoft showed him Gears Ultimate running at 4K/60 (it runs at 1080/30 on Xbox One), but haven't gone into details. I'm guessing we'll see a DF analysis of this before launch like they did with Xbox One X enhancements.
By Nonja Go To PostHow does it force games with a locked 30fps to go to 60fps?
There's a suggestion that MS can do this without developer intervention / patch, but uncertain atm.
HOLD UP HOLD UP
The XSX can get a near solid 60FPS in GTAIV? The PC port was so terrible that it could never be done (unless something has change in the last few years). That is truly incredible.

By Laboured Go To PostThere's a suggestion that MS can do this without developer intervention / patch, but uncertain atm.Phil Spencer has done it again
By Nonja Go To PostHow does it force games with a locked 30fps to go to 60fps?it doesn't. It'll need to be patched. From the DF video, if the game doesn't have an uncapped framerate or a mode that unlocks the framerate, it'll just lock the fps to 30.
By sy Go To Postit doesn't. It'll need to be patched.No, their back compat team has developed a method of doubling frame rates for select games. Like the resolution enhancements for older games, it'll be a curated list, though.
He shows a bit of Gears in the video running at 4K/60, which never even got an X enhancement patch.
By rodeoclown Go To PostNo, their back compat team has developed a method of doubling frame rates for select games. Like the resolution enhancements for older games, it'll be a curated list, though.Is this something yet to be seen? I'm talking about non first party Xbox one games
Think people are mixing up a couple of things.
This is just standard backwards compatibility across the board. It comes with some benefits for all older games, like increased rendering resolution, AA, pseudo HDR and, if the framerates are unlocked, higher FPS.
Games like Gears 5 are Smart Delivery games and those games have more work done by the devs. The upside being, that whatever platform you are on, you'll get the best version available for that platform, and your cloud saves will also carry over. That also means some games will be scaled down, for example, Gears 5 might have a smaller install size in Series S because the devs can just not include the super high res textures, etc.
Of course no one is stopping devs from going back and unlocking the framerate on past gen games or even doing more work to them just for backwards compat, and Microsoft if actively encouraging this, but the ones showing up in DF and other videos are part of a select group to show off the more noticeable improvements. I don't think every single game will benefit from this (framerate wise at least).

By Nonja Go To PostAlso I see Inky is starting fights again. smh m8.Fight me 1v1 you cunt.
By inky Go To PostBecause it would make the only forum community I enjoy a nightmare if people really believe I'm always #fuming. Especially over football or videogames.
edit: DAMMIT INKY. SERENITY NOW
By inky Go To PostThink people are mixing up a couple of things.yeah....which is why the reaction to BC working exactly how it currently works is surprising me.

By sy Go To PostIs this something yet to be seen? I'm talking about non first party Xbox one gamesThey've only talked about it working on the one game so far. We'll get a full list of enhanced games before launch.
The X enhanced 360 games included third party stuff like FFXIII, Red Dead, Mirror's Edge. It won't just be first party games that get the frame rate bump.
By sy Go To Postyeah….which is why the reaction to BC working exactly how it currently works is surprising me.Banter aside, I think journos finally seeing the effect of SSDs on a console might be what's pushing them to react like this. And they have to hype up their embargoed, exclusive first looks of course.
Overall it's a net positive for consoles that your games carry over and benefit from out of the box improvements, so seeing a lot of games that struggled past gens go right to 60 locked is encouraging.
sy, my liege, where there is no peril in the fight, there is no glory in the triumph. I say let them have hacked BC for now

What do people consider Divinity?
By Fenderputty Go To PostWhat do people consider Divinity?there is turn based and there is menu based
Aight, I don’t care. This Mafia Remake has been great, best £25 I’ve spent since the last time I bought 18 cans of Stella from the Spar. Don’t @me
By HonestVapes Go To PostAight, I don’t care. This Mafia Remake has been great, best £25 I’ve spent since the last time I bought 18 cans of Stella from the Spar. Don’t @meIt's pretty crazy how well the va holds and honestly better than a lot of modern games .
By blackace Go To Postthere is turn based and there is menu based
🤔
I feel like the AP system effectively creates turns, but it’s more tactics like as placement matters. Either way it feels pretty boomer in the discussion of modern rpg mechanics and it’s a great game.
