DrDamn https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/05/28/xbox-series-x-next-generation-backward-compatibility/ Cementing their place as backward compatibility kings. Games run with the full power of the XSX at their disposal, including the option to double framerates where possible (30 to 60, even 60 to 120). Impressive.
DrDamn Interesting … XSE? Links in to the slightly odd message here … Matt Hargett is ex-PS and has posted/hinted at PS5 GPU hardware design points a couple of times. So “720p/1080p that’s compatible with 900 games” - handheld? Streaming box? Or is XSE just a server blade. Where does the 900 games come from? Is this what MS will support in XCloud when it launches properly?
Brave Oh here. What a terrible shock to discover that weegies are as parochial as folk from every other city. =P Xbox handheld though. I’ll be in there like a shot. This is a hugely interesting run up to next gen.
DrDamn We have a date! https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-07-06-microsoft-confirms-xbox-series-x-games-reveal-date Thursday 23rd July at 5pm UK time (midday Eastern, 9am Pacific).
r0wie Gammerz I’d be very surprised if there isn’t a Forza in there somewhere as well…. MS have to keep those 2 main franchises going
BritishBean r0wie it’s been over two years since a Forza Motorsport has been released. It’ll be pretty much 3 by the time the console comes out. There better be some fucking Forza announcement or I’ll be well pissed!
DrDamn Live now! Halo Infinite … very Halo but harks back to the original feeling I got of big open areas, vistas and open gameplay.
DrDamn Forza - early in development? WTF have Turn 10 been doing for 3 years? In engine demo … eh. Bit disappointing they showed nothing like gameplay.
BritishBean DrDamn Forza - early in development? WTF have Turn 10 been doing for 3 years? I said the exact same thing. Has the Series X launch come as a surprise to them or something? To not have a Forza Motorsport at launch us a big disappointment for me. I’ll probably now wait until next year to buy the console once I’m in the new house.
Jogort Yeah halo looked good, everwild looked interesting but all cinematic shown? Works have thought there’d be more from Forza for launch.
DrDamn Dontnod - Tell Me Why Not a huge fan of their previous games, nice for diversity of line-up though.
DrDamn Ninja Theory - Hell Blade 2 - XSX only so again 2 years away? Double Fine - Psychonauts 2 - looks nice. Great trailer with Jack Black in it.
