Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Digital Foundry: Hands-on with 10 Xbox One X games that show us what it's really capable of

Digital Foundry takes on Quantum Break, Titanfall 2, Gears of War 4, F1 2017, Shadow of War - and more.

 

                      

  

Finally we get some details on Xbox One X Enhanced games.

 

 

Overall, Xbox One X's Gamescom turn-out does what E3 didn't - it shows us a cross-section of titles from first and third party developers working on triple-A, double-A and indie titles, giving us an early look at how well game-makers across the board are getting to grips with the new hardware. We're told by Monolith that working with X is basically the same as developing for the base model, albeit with a far higher level of processing power to work with. The simplicity of development likely explains the consistency in results we saw across titles regardless of the source material. The scaling here is essentially in line with Microsoft's messaging, not to mention its internal early hardware benchmarks.

And it's that consistency in results - from the games we've seen thus far, at least - that is heartening. With every new PlayStation 4 Pro game that comes along, there's a sense of the unknown about what enhancements are actually going to manifest, and the extent to which an investment in a 4K screen actually pays off. Just like Sony, Microsoft has left the door open to developers to do what they want with the hardware, but certainly based on the titles we've seen so far, the delineation between the two models looks far more clear cut - Xbox One X is the console for your 4K screen, and anything else in addition to that (like Tomb Raider's multiple rendering modes) is a bonus. It's an impressive early showing then, and with over 100 games set for X enhancements, the chances are we're going to be kept really busy from November 7th onwards.

So it'll launch with lots of native 4k AAA titles. Very impressive.

I've waited on this to play through games like Quantum Break, Gears, and Halo Wars :)

You haven't played those yet? You're in for some great time then!



really impressive stuff ..got my x1x preordered. - bring on the beast in november



Praise the One.

Gears of War 4, Halo Wars 2, Titanfall 2, Quantum Break, Killer Instinct, Path of Exile, World of Tanks

So I bought GOW4 and QB but have not played them yet due to work, game back log and family obligations. I have decided that I will be waiting on my X1X to play those games. I definitely plan on getting Path to Exile and World of Tanks at some point. Have Killer Instinct and Titanfall 2 so definitely looking to see how they fair with the 4K updates.

From the article, wondering how many titles actually achieve true 4K and what the IQ difference will be when we can compare to the PS4 Pro

True 4K60fps beast. Not like that toystation for toddlers with down syndrom.

And you can't spell syndrome. Not a surprise

That goes both ways, so be nice... console peasant...

Really interested in the console.  Glad for what it can do.  Wish the PS4 could have done the same.  As a result, I only get multiplats on PC, and since microsoft has said that all xbox games will come to PC, I cannot justify an Xbox One X, when I have Ryzen 7 1800x, and a GTX 1080 Ti FTW3.  That water cooler in the xbox is also a big no-no, for me too.  Yeah, I have an AIO in my PC, however, I can take it out and replace it in a couple years.  Not happening with a console.

 



All really good news. If I had a 4k TV I would bite. I do hope this console sells well because it just means MS will support it that much more.



Thats awesome. Good to see what the final production model can do.

Still not sure I can justify one this year, but might put it on the agenda for next year!
