Red Dead Redemption is Native 4K on Xbox One X, screenshots thread
- Thread starter RedbullCola
- Start date
This is huge. Gamepass was already a big step in the right direction, but If MS keeps doing stuff like this I will have no choice but to buy a xbox x. Funny how things change so quick.
Is the patch available stateside because I haven't seen an update yet.
I think there was a setting to have all games automatically update 4K patches if available or am I crazy? Is that only in preview program?

Games aren't "mastered" like film is, they're rendered in realtime; it's more like reshooting the movie (assets) with a better camera (rendering resolution). The resolution is simply how many pixels the renderer outputs per frame, which is why PC games can run in a huge variety of resolutions just by changing a couple of lines in a settings file (usually). This means that if you increase the rendering resolution, there's always going to be more pixels making up the image and therefore more detail and less aliasing. There's no necessary relationship between the fidelity of an asset (texture resolution, polygon count etc...) and the resolution that the renderer displays it in. However you can have detail that is obscured by a low resolution or diminishing returns for a low-fidelity asset rendered in a higher resolution. Compare RDR in 4K and Far Cry 5 in 4K and you'll see that the assets in the latter are obviously higher fidelity, but the image quality, aliasing etc... are comparable.
I've been thinking about a One X because I need a 4k Blu Ray player, but this is just icing on the cake.
Can I just put my 360 disc in to get access?

Sad!
More like giving people a reason to get the hardware. Definitely has me thinking about it.
I wonder when Nintendo will learn from this. If they will learn from this.
I just downloaded the game on my X1X, I don't need to adjust any new settings or anything right? I can just start playing and enjoying 4k?
I've had mine installed on my hard drive since last year but don't see any hints in queue or anywhere that the patch was installed.
For those of you sure you have the new patch installed, can you provide Version number? You would hover over the game app, hit start, manage and on the installed tab it should be written on top right
It says last updated 10/24/17. 1.0.1803.4089
But I'm almost'sure The update has been done I have the X setting (performance/graphics)
Maybe the store didn't update yet ? It's the same

What a great way to start the day. Just woke up and the first news of the day is Red Dead now playable in 4k. WoW, good work MS.
All it needs is a 30fps cap. The game mostly runs north of 40fps and reaches 60fps pretty often.
This happens on my X sometimes. Sonic Generations shows up in the enhanced section but RDR doesn't. Click RB+LB+Start+select over RDR in the games and app section. It will show a date of the last update. X1 enhanced will still show false until your Xbox recognizes that it's xenhanced even though the patch is installed.
And as long as you have X options in the 360 home menu, it's X enhanced.
you can put your 360 discs in if a game is in the BC catalog. This will trigger the download of the game. Only thing to play a BC game if it is not digital is to put the disc into the Xbox One.

Same. I would've bought an X for it but RDR2 is coming out very soon. I don't want to get burned out on the wild west.
This may get more play time on Xbox than some new releases this period. Makes sense that Microsoft keeps twisting the knife with regards to bc since Sony's PS3 architecture unfortunately makes this a pipe dream on their platform.
It's really amazing how competition really pushes thes companies to fix what they're doing wrong and offer great value
That PS3 emulator is coming a long way. I don't get why Sony don't work on something like that.
I just played for a good two hours. It's face meltingly beautiful - and it makes me so happy to have an X. The frame rate was solid during a high intensity Irish mission at Gaptooth Ridge.
Give me a GTA IV patch, and this console just keeps blowing me away. It's the perfect way to get ready for Red Dead Redemption 2, a full replay is warranted!

Dangit. Good to know, but I got rid of all my 360 games after my system RROD. I think I'm sticking to an all digital library when it comes to MS, they've shown some goodwill recently. When it comes to RDR2 I'm still undecided on which platform.
May not be worth it if it's just emulating the base PS3 experience. The selling point would be visual / performance upscaling. Hell, Sony wrote the book on this with how PS3 emulated PS2 and PSone with added bells and whistles.
Make sure it's in Graphics mode.
Press both Start+Select and brings up the 360 menu and go right to 'Settings' and then look in 'Xbox One X Settings' for the toggle
Specs don't lie and gives you a good estimation where a game looks best.
