Yes, but it will release on Xbox One, too. Still has next gen tech.so this is the first next gen game then from a tech standpoint?
This game on Xbox One, based upon the GPU scaling would be sub 720p 30. CPU wise, I can just not imagine this thing on the xbox one. I think they will silently cancel the base Xbox One release and go straight next gen here.
I doubt, to the least, that it will look like this, if it releases at all on the One.Yes, but it will release on Xbox One, too. Still has next gen tech.
Gorgeous. Will be interesting to see what the Xbox One version looks like.
I don't get their choice either, because the game looks beautiful. I thought Xbox marketing up to a certain point was really good, but they made some questionable/debatable decisions as of late.This is the only next-gen game Microsoft is delivering in 2020. It has major advance not just in graphics, but also in gameplay. I still wonder why they didn't show it at the Xbox Games showcase.
I hear you and who knows maybe they cancel the jaguar version.This game on Xbox One, based upon the GPU scaling would be sub 720p 30. CPU wise, I can just not imagine this thing on the xbox one. I think they will silently cancel the base Xbox One release and go straight next gen here.
Either that, or they hit it with an incredibly large ugly stick. Embarassingly large.

I haven't seen this in any flight simulator thread over the past year. Including this one.Can't wait for Sony Era (95% of the forum) to downplay the game. Here's a few templates to save you typing time:
"Who plays flight simulators anyway"
"Good for the 3 people that will play it"
"Who will buy this? Most folks will play it for 10 minutes on gamepass and move over"
"It releases on Xbox one, so it's not a next gen game. One and done narrative cover shooter looks way better"
"I can see my house in the game. Evil MS once again invading my privacy"
Can we not start a unnecessary fight? There are dumb fanboys on each side of the fence (Sony, Nintendo, Playstation).Can't wait for Sony Era (95% of the forum) to downplay the game. Here's a few templates to save you typing time:

Me either. It has less replies than your normal game, but that is to be expected.I haven't seen this in any flight simulator thread over the past year. Including this one.
Going for that cartoon look.Cool cool cool.

Yeah... theres no way this releases on the Xbox One. I can imagine the engineers behind the game sweating everytime that version came up in meetings.This game on Xbox One, based upon the GPU scaling would be sub 720p 30. CPU wise, I can just not imagine this thing on the xbox one. I think they will silently cancel the base Xbox One release and go straight next gen here.

Any idea why the game is CPU bound? Very high data compression maybe ?This game on Xbox One, based upon the GPU scaling would be sub 720p 30. CPU wise, I can just not imagine this thing on the xbox one. I think they will silently cancel the base Xbox One release and go straight next gen here.
