Re: Need For Speed Analysis Highlights Hot Pursuit Issue On Xbox Series X

Nermannn

Digital foundry has found a few of these weird, xbox specific bugs, like with the 120fps mode in Dirt 5. What’s cool is that they now have good working relationships with a lot of developers, and in the Dirt 5 case, Codemasters fixed the bug quickly after hearing from Digital Foundry. Hopefully this happens in this NFS and other, future cases as well.

Re: 'FPS Boost' Won't Be Suitable For Every Xbox Game, Warns Microsoft

Whether it comes in this form or individual updates by the developer, I don’t care as long as the performance is enhanced! I do hope this encourages developers to start future proofing games so the fps caps can be more easily removed. That would be nice if we didn’t have to go through such a messy transition period at the next console generation. But I am so thankful that we are getting upgrades in any form.

Re: No, Halo: MCC's 'New Way To Play' Isn't A New Platform

Attempting to build anticipation by telling the internet “new exciting thing is coming!” Nearly always backfires.

There was one person on here who was begging for the FOV slider to work with 120 hz mode, so I I’m sure they are happy.

I will say, MCC has been my personal favorite game to play at 120 fps. And I’ve only tried it with the original Halo.

Re: Guide: All Of These Games Support 120FPS On Xbox Series X

So far I have only tried Halo: MCC, Rocket league, and dirt 5 at 120 fps.

Of those, I that Halo was the most noticeable. It felt amazing to play at that frame rate. Rocket league was also quite nice. Dirt 5 had to drop the resolution and image quality too much for me. Curios what other people’s favorites have been!

Re: Poll: How Long Until Xbox Game Pass Gets A Price Increase?

Nermannn

Well the all access program locks in the price at slightly less than the current monthly price for the next 2 years. I imagine that they plan plan to increase the pricing after that point, otherwise they would have a large amount of users paying less than the asking price. I think gold will just disappear by the end of the year, and no more “free/permanent” games with gold giveaways. They want us forever renting rather than owning the products.

Re: Back Compat Enhancement News Is Still On The Way, Confirms Xbox

@Bobobiwan I want this too! I tried it on the series s. 1080p was nice... but on a huge screen the frame rate gave me a headache at 30 FPS. I had a similar experience with Mario sunshine on the switch. I’m spoiled with 60 frames; now it’s really hard to play games at thirty. Particularly when they move really fast.

Re: By The Way, YouTube Now Supports HDR On Xbox Consoles

This is cool! though I will say with a tv that auto detects the Xbox and switches to game mode, it’s a hassle to watch video content and get all the settings how I like. It’s very nit-picky, but will likely prevent me using the Xbox for streaming videos very often.
