Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One is pretty solid

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.

Ya...but to me it doesn't matter since I have a Gaming Pc, and the exclusives like Gears of War that are on PC have a very small and terribly supported community(In other words I buy the console version) and games like Halo are exclusive to Xbox. So yea......



Around the Network

I consider games to be a pretty central part of my life, but it's odd to admit that I've actually never touched an Xbox One, let alone interface with one. It's a shame, really. OG Xbox is one of my favorite consoles ever (KotOR, baby!) but they lost me halfway through the 360 gen and I jumped ship. Playstation just has wacky Japanese games down, and while Im gradually watching NIS and company start to port their content to PC, I'm confident that games like Persona and Danganronpa will always be at home with a Japanese console. I'd like to say I'd give Xbox a chance late in the gen, but I honestly can't think of anything I'd get for it, whether already out or on the horizon. The best games these days seem to be multi-plat, and most just run better on PS4.

Clearly 60fps does matter to you. - Otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned it to begin with.
As for Resolution, the Xbox One doesn't achieve 1080P across every title either, plus Scorpio should do 4k better than the Playstation 4 Pro... And even if you have a 720P TV, there is benefit to running a game at 4k.

Exclusives and the PC wasn't even in the original points you (Or I) made, so that's just goal-post shifting and I shall ignore it.

That's a shame. The Xbox One is a pretty solid platform... And if you don't own an Xbox 360, you can revisit some of those games on the Xbox One via Backwards Compatibility. Plus 360 games are cheap.
Hopefully the Xbox One gets backwards compatability with the Original Xbox so you can revisit Knights of the old Republic. ;)

But I agree. Japanese titles are sorely missing on the Xbox One... Which is an ongoing issue with the platform in general since the Original Xbox days, it doesn't help that Microsoft has never been able to gain any traction in Japan either, platform does have other gems to look forwards to though.

Nice to see that you enjoy ittry forza 6 gt-endurance if you have the game or gears 4 horde mode^^



I bought one at launch but ever since Microsoft decided to bring all the exclusives over to PC and insure all future exclusives come to PC too, I've not had much of a reason to turn the thing on.

Pretty sure this time next year all I will ever use will be PS4/PC/Switch, as the Xbox one has basically rendered itself redundant, and in that exact same manner, owning a gaming PC makes Scorpio rundundant too, and the thing isn't even out yet.

I started last gen an Xbox fan, shunned the PS3 early on in its life but by the end of last gen I liked both, so I bought both this gen and found that because multiplats almost always performed better on the PS4 that my only real use for the Xbox one, was the exclusives, backwards compatibility never mattered because I still own the last gen consoles.

The exclusives on PC thing , for me, basically kills the only reason to even own an Xbox one, since buying the games on PC is cheaper, and playing them online is cheaper too.

It's essentially just a branded steambox at this point that's handicapped to a limited library over normal steamboxes.

I, too, find the One redundant, since everything it has that I am interested in is also on the PS4 I already have. The bavkwards compatibility is the one thing it has that I wish PS4 had. But my gaming heart lies with Japanese games, so PlayStation and Nintendo are pretty much standard for me. 



Real talk. Its certainly more solid than liquid!



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

I think all of the current gen devices are solid.

The Wii U?



Yah. The hardware is not bad. If it werent for MS it'd might have a chance to be a "solid" console too.



Hunting Season is done...

It's a great machine. I sold mine recently and miss it a bit. I bought a PS4 to play Uncharted, Bloodborne and R&C and figured there's not much point having both.

I definitely found the X1 exclusives more fun that the PS4 ones. PS4 isn't bad but I'll sell that too once Horizon comes out and I'm done with that.
