AngryLittleAlchemist said: Microsoft kind of shot themselves in the foot. Even if the Scorpio is a much better value than the PS4 Pro, almost every Xbox One exclusive already runs at 60 frames per second, so the performance boost only goes to a resolution that most consumers don't even have. Either way, I agree. The Xbox One is actually a pretty good system. Glad you're enjoying yourself. If you're into Japanese RPGs, the game Lost Odyssey is free on the Xbox One Live service right now. It's not one of the two main games they're advertising for free(those are Sleeping Dogs and Murder Soul Sacrifice) but you can download it for free if you search for it in the store. Man, I love the free games they give us. They're actually high quality triple A's. |
There is 60fps. And then there is 60fps.
Digital Foundry has proven time and time again, that even though games might claim to run at 60fps, they don't always achieve it 24/7.
For example... Battlefield 1, one of the biggest releases this year, claims to operate at 60fps on the Xbox One, whilst correct... It does drop down to 30fps in some cases...
The vanilla Playstation 4 isn't immune to it either, but in scenes that are more GPU than CPU intensive the Xbox One does get punished harder.

The 360 had a D-Pad? :P

Not a bad system. Not as good as the 360, to me (overall), but a good console, nonetheless.

Have to concur.
One thing we can all be thankful of though is that the Xbox One is built like a brick shit house, the hardware is pretty bullet proof... Which is certainly the opposite to the Pre-S console, 360's.

If you have a lot of 360 games that are on the X1 BC list then I recommend it. Some of their games got improved with higher and more stable frame rates and load times.

If you shop around you can pick up older 360 titles for a couple of bucks, so if a game that interests you is on the BC, then it's worth it IMHO. And a good excuse to build a large 360 library.
Personally I am still waiting on Original Xbox emulation.

I would like to see what happens if they enable 360 BC on the PC.

In time, young Padawan. If Microsoft doesn't do it, the PC community most certainly will, Microsoft's approach would require less hardware though. (As it's not pure emulation, there is virtualization and repackaging going on.)
