My elite controller still works great but the left rubber grip has almost completely come off.Rodster wrote:Those do look nice, too bad the XONE has the shittiest controller this gen regarding reliability.Danimal wrote:https://majornelson.com/2017/11/02/scor ... esign-lab/
$95-$100 for a controller that's not even an Elite? So you're paying an extra $40 for an NFL team logo and a bit more rubber and metal?Danimal wrote:https://majornelson.com/2017/11/02/scor ... esign-lab/
I'm with you, brother. No interest in a $500 console, especially when I'm still rocking a 2009 720p 50-inch Panasonic plasma TV.rhymes450 wrote:Only bought the original Xbox One in July 2016 (possibly should've waited for the Xbox one S) and given that I don't own a 4k and/or HDR capable screen, I won't be updating anytime soon to the XB1X, especially after reading this:

Having said that, I think it's a good thing that those who do have state-of-the-art screens can avail of them to the utmost, while those of us who don't can still play games that are, to a large extent, quite similar.

I appreciate that MS isn't developing X exclusives -- not yet, at least. That prevents fragmentation of the Microsoft ecosystem, which is smart, especially for a company whose only big advantage in the marketplace is the continued reliability, functionality and strength of Xbox Live. Splintering XBL into X, One/S and 360 tiers would be stupid.
But I worry over time that some developers may get lazy optimizing upcoming games for the original XB1 or the XB1S, instead just relying on the big power of the X's processors to do the hard work.
That's when I could consider a jump to the X. I also need a 4K HDR TV. And I want to see a $100 price drop on the X.
So in other words, enjoy your new machines, fellas. I'll see you in about two years.
Me too.10spro wrote:I’ve seen a few youtubers playing the game. Looks like a lot of fun and for that price I’ll be taking the plunge.
I'll be getting this day one. Right now for free you can play Fortnight Battle Royale, which is like Team Fortress 2 graphics superimposed on the PUBG gameplay.Diablo25 wrote:Anyone into this Player Unknown Battlegrounds game? Its coming to Xbox in December. It is huge on the PC so I’m guessing it’ll be big on the Xbox. Its exclusive to the Xbox also. $30 early access game on December 12th.
How can you tell this? I have it set to download the 4K content. I checked earlier today in my manage games and updates but didn’t see anything.Diablo25 wrote:Me too.10spro wrote:I’ve seen a few youtubers playing the game. Looks like a lot of fun and for that price I’ll be taking the plunge.
On another note, my XB1S has started updating XB1X Enhonced games
I just checked in my games and apps and sorted by Xbox One X Enhanced and Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Killer Instinct are the only two games showing up for me, move cursor over the game and hold down RB LB and the two menu buttons at the same time for a couple seconds and release and Killer Instinct has listed Assets Installed Xbox Scorpio, don't see any Scorpio assets listed with Battlefront though.TheTruth wrote:How can you tell this?

There is nothing in that article that isn't already know, it is just written with a negative slant. I was expecting some kind of bombshell. LOLrhymes450 wrote:I won't be updating anytime soon to the XB1X, especially after reading this:

Have only watched 4 reviews, but thus far everyone seems pretty luke warm on the X. Not the enthusiasm I was expecting.
They're both irresistible at any definition.Diablo25 wrote:Barry Pepper and Carl Lewis in glorious 4K HDR is hard to turn down Paul!
I think this goes without saying though. I didn't buy a PS4 Pro until Horizon came out. With the XB1X I feel like a majority of my library is going to be instantly upgraded. I wouldn't count on any EA Sports game to be anything but marginally improved in fact I'm willing to bet with Madden for example there is nothing else done to it other than what they did for the 1S.10spro wrote:It will come down ultimately to the game developer to get those extra teraflops to make it count, FIFA 18 is one of those games I was really looking forward to it on the Xbox OX yet on this site, they are mentioning that’s it’s just marginal improvements.
Ditto. If I have a console that can render 4K games without a massive investment (compared to my constantly-being-upgraded-PC), I'm not sure I'll do much on the PC except for PC-exclusive titles, honestly.Danimal wrote:I'm still looking forward to it as well, I'll have 2 4K consoles and a monster PC Rig so I'm in gaming nirvana.
