I finally tried Redfall last night, on my XSS (not my XSX) as I wanted to see it at it's 'worst' to see what everyone was crying about. Well, from my play of around an hour or so I thought it looked good, performed well and controlled very smoothly.
I left all options to the defaults other than selecting perfomance mode. I was pretty impressed, it looks like fun, if you have Gamepass it's a no brainer to give it a go.
Am I the only one who thought that the graphics looks weird? Black edges to the cars made it look like some sort of comic book filter, or like a cell shaded game. I just dunno about this, perhaps it was the type of paint on the cars/time of day/odd stream. Didn't look real to me.
@BrilliantBill That's good to hear as to be honest all the videos I see on YouTube seem to show the newer Xbox One CODs to have a frame that is often sat in the 40's. An account from someone who plays them saying that the games perform well enough to cross play with better performing versions is great.
Wow. What a weird generation we've had, the last gen has cast a massive shadow over it. Great for people still on those old consoles, if you can accept the lesser performance, which I guess if you're still there, then you can.
I have a Series S and Series X and I buy my games digitally, so the only reason of get a discless XSX is if I became dissatisfied with my XSS. Can't see that happening, I am currently very happy with it.
I actually think I'd be more likely to buy a standard XSX as a replacement as even though I buy games digitally I do play the occasional DVD or Blu-ray and that would be handy in the room that the XSS currently lives in.... Or maybe I should just dust off and set up the One X next to it for that purpose. 🤷🏻🤣
Back compat on Xbox is amazing and really help with game preservation too.
I play old games all the time.
The only ones who don't like back compat are Rockstar, they can't take advantage and do a swift cash grab port to the Xbox! Don't worry, they will fleece some Sony and Nintendo fans and get their bags of cash. If they could revoke their games back compat they would!
Also, anyone remember what a state the old GTAs were in on the recent (ish) compilation? They might even release a mess of a port this time too, Sony and Nintendo fans beware!
I love this service, highly recommend it to anyone interested in retro games. The controller response is way better than any other cloud service I've ever tried too.
As the 360 game received a 4K One X enhancement it plays at 4K on the XSX and 1440p on the XSS, with a solid 30fps too.
The only thing Xbox owners miss out on is if they up the frame rate to 60fps, it sounds like this is not the case. I am happy with my super cheap Xbox 360 version which will play across three generations of Xbox thank you very much.
Suggested solution - How about two player split screen on XSS and four player split screen on the XSX?
Games on the S are allowed to have lower resolution, lower graphic settings and textures, and even half the frame rate, why not half the split screen players? It then still offers split screen play.
This is if it is 4 player on XSX, I have seen comments that it is only 2 player.
Either way, as we have seen with Switch games, you can chop and chop and make a just about acceptable game. If it's 1440p 60fps on XSX then make it 720p (or even a Switch style 540p!) and 30fps. Use dynamic resolution and reconstruction. Cut the textures right back. Disable shadow or lighting features. Remove animations. Maybe make the viewable play area in a smaller window. Perhaps restrict the distance the two players can roam from each other (biggest difference right there, huge memory saver especially). Lower AA, motion blur, AO. So many cuts made all round to try.
All of the above would make a huge difference to CPU, GPU and memory requirements. No reason this game can't ship, Microsofts team will help them ship the game, I don't doubt this at all.
Credit to them for their excellent support of this game. It's such a shame that it launched with lots of issues (like many other games), plus the tonal changes which put off many long standing fans of the series.
I actually picked this up on a sale a while back and have not even started it yet, I think I'll wait until after the final patch. I think I'll be in for a real treat.
Yeah, as mentioned above I believe this game marks the end of the Sony deal, release wise. I do wonder however if they still have marketing until 2024?
@Krambo42 No worries. It really is very informative, check it out everyone!
I am really backing this big time, I just think it's a great service. Like I've said elsewhere on this site I have played around with the PC verison quite a bit, Android too, it's a really promising service and I like their plans for the future too.
To have such a service on Xbox is a huge thing, well done to MS for allowing it on their platform.
I preordered this, very excited for the launch tomorrow.
Having played around with it on PC I know how smooth and responsive the games feel, I would say they offer the best cloud gaming experience I have ever tried, so I have no fears at all (I am assuming that the XBOX client is as good as the PC one of course, we will see).
@Lightweight I think I have a rather heavy handed way of fixing this. Would somehow pulling the plug on Xbox Live for the 360 hardware work? Two gens back now, would anyone care if the 360 had no online? (Ok, would any large number care?)
Only Xbox one and Xbox series consoles playing the games in back compat mode, surely they could not be hacked then?
I must admit I don't know how the hacks are done so maybe this over the top idea is not viable anyway. 🤔🤷🏻
Whilst I am glad that these games may have recieved some server side upgrade/patch the old xb360 CODs need an update to ban all the hackers/modders. I hope they can do something about them too.
They milked this franchise into the ground, too many games in too short a timescale and it was really outshine by Forza Horizon too. I am hoping that the larger gap between games and the jump to a new gen may help to rejuvenate the franchise... I am sceptical, but changes are required.
Anyone else here getting the glitch where you can't claim the GWG games? If you have it you also can't get the deals with gold offers either.
It seems to be affecting those who upgraded from Gold to Gamepass recently and has been reported online. I had to get support to add The Vale to my library.
Owning both and S and X since launch day I am happy with my set up. X in gaming room and S in living room. I already have expansion cards anyway.
If I didn't already own an S, sure I would snap this one up... I do think it looks better in white though.
I've Not read the other comments, sorry guys, too many and I am supposed to be working!
My thoughts:
1) I am OK with this, they are making out like this is a locked 30FPS, OK locked 30 evenly paced with good motion blur, absolutely fine.
2) However, if indeed the frame rate has gone above 30FPS during testing then how about a 120hz 40fps mode?
3) How about a mode that relies on VRR with perhaps a lowered resolution? Achieving 40 – 60FPS, but more towards the top of this range. This may play well too.
Point 2 and 3 could be added post launch, and I feel they just might be.
Overall as in point 1 above, its fine, but particularly that 120hz mode, well it should be a standard in all 30fps games now really.
The number of games which receive a 60fps Series S patch a while after launch is very encouraging, with a little dedication it truly can run games very well... the downside is that the damage reputation wise is often done already.
To counter this Xbox should ALWAYS tweet/advertise such updates to ensure that S owners/prospective S owners can feel assured about the performance of games on their chosen platform.
I have both an X and an S and I mostly feel the experience is absolutely fine on the S, it’s a lovely little machine, these patches just need to come faster.
I did want this, and will still probably buy it, but they really needed to skip authenticity and put a better d pad on it. The 360 controller was great, maybe revolutionary even, but the dpad was always awful. I remember getting my console on launch night, excitedly setting it up in the early hours... and initially thinking that my controller was faulty, that's how bad it was to get accurate movement, thankfully most games used the analogue pad, but yeah, it was terrible.
@Decoy_Snake That's true, he was. So it's just a question of have they kept him in? It seems like he is returning soon on the new Saturday show ayway (if the rumours are true), so he probably is in the game. Cody is meant to be in it and he left a while back now, so yeah seems nailed on.
Having played all the FH games I still think the best by far is FH3. I didn't gel with 4 that well and 5 even less, although I want to try again.
It may just be series fatigue, I've been saying this since FH4... Give them a rest MS or you will kill the franchise. They rested Motorsport, now rest Horizon.
Make a Project Gotham Inbetween if you have to have a car game released, just don't kill the another IP with too many games.
I have every single Games with Gold offering since it started back in 2013. I always claim them, why wouldn't you? You could see a YouTube video of one that catches your eye, or maybe you get into a genre that you weren't into previously and suddenly that game you never would have played is now great fun.
I think Ryse was was one of the most underrated games of last gen and it still looks good today. An upres and 60FPS boost for the Series consoles would be great.
I think Gamepass is great, one of the best things in modern gaming, but probably just not for me. Let me explain.
I don't get a lot of time to play these days and also have more disposable income than when I was younger. This means I am more likely to buy a game when I want it, usually on a sale, as I like a deal. Subscribing to a service at £10.99 per month and not using it feels like a bad deal.
I am saying all this as a current and long time Gamepass subscriber, I did not jump in on the service straight away as I knew it was not for me. I just dabbled with cheap sub deals. Then the crazy deals started.
All this has come to mind as I note that my loooong subscription deal is coming to an end in a few days, I can see that on my account I was last billed £1... back in June 2019!
What a deal I have had, and what a service it has been, and no doubt will continue to be. I highly recommend it to anyone, give it a try, it's just in my current point in life it's not for me. If a deal comes up though, well...
In the meantime I bought a code for 12 months of XBL which I will activate on the expiration of my Gamepass sub, it seems I can't add it before as it converts to Gamepass.
@GarbonZoni Cool, I don't know how many I have on Pinball Arcade, I just remember that when the Williams tables were being removed I bought them all, there was no sale so I spent a stupid amount on them. 😬🤣 Don't regret it though, I really like how Farsight have recreated the tables.
Have you tried Zaccaria Pinball? That's pretty good too, some of the tables are very primitive, but it's a good addition to your collection if you like the Pinball Arcade and Stern Arcade style games.
If you have a look at the second photo on the listing it notes the tables included on the back of the case. How does that compare to your digital copy?
@Would_you_kindly Unless I'm miss remembering, it's late here, they issued a cart and then issued the code version as they changed the tables included. I'm not at home so I cant check which tables are included in my cart. We could compare.
Perhaps it was an import from another country? Not sure.
@Would_you_kindly This isn't correct. What happened was Farsight Studios released a spin off of The Pinball Arcade game called Stern Pinball. As the title sounds it was specifically for Stern tables only.
You can still buy tables in The Pinball Arcade, yeah they lost most of their top quality ones when the Williams license was lost, but you can buy Stern and Gottlieb tables in it. They seem to be running both games side my side.
Theres a nice physical version of Stern Pinball on the Switch, well worth picking up. 👍🏻
@Tasuki The Pinball Arcade? I loved their game too. Sadly they lost the rights to most of thier big name classic tables, to Zen, so they started to be remade in Pinball FX. It's a shame really.
I own the tables I wanted in it so I am ok, but no new purchases of those tables can be made now. Licensing issues, they plague gaming.

@Tasuki The Pinball Arcade? I loved their game too. Sadly they lost the rights to most of thier big name classic tables, to Zen, so they started to be remade in Pinball FX. It's a shame really.
I own the tables I wanted in it so I am ok, but no new purchases of those tables can be made now. Licensing issues, they plague gaming.
