Picked up an X during the Ebay sale and now I own the three main consoles. This my first time with an Xbox, so are there any games that I should pick up? I have bought Cuphead, Witcher 3, Halo MCC, and the Game Pass.

Tried Fable anniversary, but the framerate looked oddly jittery. Best one in the series? I've been interested to try one. I also like arcadeish racers similar to like the Midnight Club games.

I just did an entire play through of Fable Anniversary. Their was consistent stuttering when entering new areas and occasionally in heavy fighting sequences (rarely). Other than that it was pretty smooth for me. Might want to give it another shot. Fable 2 is the best in the series so if you only want to try one that would be the one to try. Fable Anniversary is the only one that is currently Xbox One X enhanced, just an FYI.

I started having dropouts during Mafia 3. Screen would go to the no connection screen for a second, then come back. I had no reason to believe it was my cable as I was using certified monoprice cables. Someone here recommended a cable change so I looked at reviews and saw others say these cables fixed that same issue. I bought two, one from the X to the receiver and one from my receiver to tv. No problems since.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XP129CT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ysrRAbV5AN16S

These are some damn nice looking cables too. I was shocked at the build quality.
Thanks -- I have some gift credit, so I think I'll give it a shot and see what happens. :) Swapping cables every time I want to play my PS4 sucks.

I'm debating rebuying XCOM 2 for my X - it was buggy as hell on my PS4 - anyone played it to completion on X?

Hadn't played forza horizon 3 in like a month. Fully updated. Cruising down the road and had a legit 2-3 second freeze/stutter. Crazy that hasn't been fixed yet. Although that was one of the worst I've had. Usually it was just a hiccup.

Hi, I just subscribed to game pass. Can I que as many games as I want for download or is there a monthly limit?
Um, I'm not sure if I understood right, but you can play all the games you want. No limits unless the game is leaving the service, but I think they announce those that are leaving early.

Did the Resident Evil 7 X enhanced update ever come out? The gold edition is $23.99 w/GCU at Best Buy this week and I was thinking of picking it up...

Just so people don't have to go digging for it.

Umm so yea that article had no substance whatsoever inside of it. Literally all it had that is worth taking away: "We haven't made any announcements about an Xbox One X enhancement patch at the moment. If we do have news to share on this one then it will be posted on the official social channels."

The reason a game goes on the Xbox.com/enhanced website is that Microsoft got notification from the developer that an enhanced patch is in development. Coming soon also means they got notification from the developer that the update is coming soon (not sure what the actual threshold is for that). They don't just put stuff on there randomly.

There has been an obvious delay in the patch's release (or some sort of miscommunication as to why it went to Coming Soon, maybe that was a mistake even) with no word from Capcom, but I doubt the patch has been cancelled. This is not the first patch to be listed on the Xbox.com/enhanced site before an official announcement from the developer. See The Division for instance.

Has anyone played XCOM 2 since the X patch last month? I just repurchased the game to try it out but it's still shipping.

Don't know where to post elsewhere, so I do it here. Played around 5 hours of Fina Fantasy 15 on the One X and I am NOT impressed with the graphics mode there. Still shimmering especially with hair in cut scenes.

So we're clear: I've no opinion on what's going on with the RE7 patch. I'd obviously love to see one, but the only reason I quoted him was I saw his post, wanted to see the link to which he was referring, and quoted that old post because it was nearly 600 posts ago in case anyone else wanted to see what he was talking about. Honestly, the feeling that I get from it is that "maybe that 'Capcom PR' guy got some bad info or just isn't in the know for this?" I dunno. Just continuing to wait, I suppose.

There are rumours of oculus support for the X at this years E3, this co insides with VR exclusivity ending on PS4... tin foil hat, RE7 X enhancements launch with that.

I was really targeting my post at the person who originally posted the article and claimed there were conclusions to take from it that there simply wasn't evidence presented for. It was a useless article to post then, and is useless to bring back up now. As far as the PR guy, I wouldn't say he had bad info or wouldnt know necessarily. Maybe that's the case, but it's just as likely that they aren't ready to announce the patch yet so that was basic PR speak. He never said we don't have a patch in the works or anything close to that.

Regarding the RE7 patch:

The idea is simple: if it's on the official list, it's coming at some point. As someone else has noted earlier, Microsoft doesn't just put stuff randomly on there. If the patch has been canceled, you would also expect the game to be promptly taken off that list (I believe this has happened to a title or two). So as long as RE7 is on the list, I will keep my expectations open, even if most signs so far point to it not happening.

That rumour just sounds made up, if the X was going to support VR then Microsoft have their own headset.

Eh, I don't necessarily agree. Microsoft has partnered with Oculus in the past:

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2015/06...artner-to-change-the-face-of-virtual-reality/

And I remember Phil Spencer being quoted with something along the lines of "Currently VR is messy and has cords all over the livingroom", implying that maybe they're waiting for a wireless solution. So maybe at E3 we'll see a wireless Oculus + Xbox One X support. Who knows.

Just started playing Sea of Thieves, it's not very stable. The framerate is all over the place and there's lots of screen tearing. One of the developers said in the Reddit AMA that it's a locked 30, I really don't appreciate it when developers lie. This isn't even a dropped frame here and there, it's consistently bad so far. Hopefully it runs better elsewhere in the game.

I'm concerned about the lack of XB1X coverage for Far Cry 5. All the videos I've seen are from PS4 Pro.

O what?! I hate screen tearing :(

Don't be. Ubi partnered with PlayStation for FC5.

Already made the obligatory hard reset and tried again? Sometimes it helps.

After playing the latest beta, I was really disappointing by the performance. It looked pretty when standing still, but every time I moved I would start to feel nauseous.

I'm assuming you're on X? The X enhancement seemed to completely fuck the game performance when it was introduced in the final beta. Shame that it doesn't sound like it's fixed in the final version. Performance was fine in the beta I played, before it was X-patched.

Quite how they're happy to let it out of the door in that state is beyond me.

Final beta of sea of thieves was pretty poor on Xbox one X and makes me believe that was one of the reasons the X hardly got shown off during the test period. Awful screen tearing and have a feeling it isn't any better in the release version out tonight

I just played SoT for about 2 hours and didn' get much screen tearing, some Frame Rate issues but not often, think you may need to hard reset see if that sorts it out, but my impression was very good and issues were very few.

Glad I have other people agreeing, when I posted this about the Final Beta everyone told me theirs was perfect. There's lot of drops and one island has some big performance drops. It seemed pretty solid on the S from watching my partner played but I wasn't personally playing that version. Also no, resetting the console won't fix it.

This is very dissapointing as the developer openly stated on Reddit that it was a locked 30FPS. This is far from locked, and I'm not one to nitpick for an odd stutter. Really hope they implement a dynamic resolution to sort this out in a future update. Really disappointed about the false statement from Rare.

It's obvious the X Enhancement was an afterthought, which is crazy for a Microsoft first party game coming from an internal studio. Unforgivable, really.

"Unforgivable" might be a bit much, but only barely getting X enhancement into the last round of beta testing, and introducing screen-tearing and some performance snags that hadn't been there previously was so strange to see.

I'd hope the release version is just further along in its performance balance, but I'm curious how this will feel with hands-on and some more involved testing.

plays very well for me, does not exhibit the frame drops in the last beta at all.
sometimes -like rare- there are some hitches but I think this is more because online data than something graphic.
I do notice the change of LOD when approaching islands though, and I dont remember this in the past.

Are there any graphics settings to lower resolution for better performance on the X? Otherwise, I may not be able to stomach this at launch, and I'm really bummed about this.
