Xbox Series X / S

[AlphaJohn]

Their game stack event went into more technical details and none of it seemed traditional.
It’s interesting for the Xbox ecosystem, but with all the things they have ongoing concurrently I wonder if they’ve taken on too much to deliver.

I suspect its a small team maybe even just 2 or 3 employees that is in charge of the FPS boost project that test each game and report to developers for activation requests. I highly doubt it takes anything away from other projects.

That said Its kinda sad on a Series S, in order to use FPS Boost I have to disable build in upscaling.
In order to have the FPS Boost Option available, I have to set my display to 1080P

Fable Is Being Developed Using the Forza Engine - IGN

Microsoft is utilising the Forza engine for development of the new Fable game.

It's an interesting one. The Forza games are super pretty but I wonder if they've ever been used for anything but Forza games.

Pity it doesn't seem you can enable it on a normal 60hz TV.

I'm sure you can for games that go from 30 to 60 FPS...

What no Red Dead 2 Single Player.

Damn you Rockstar!!!

Ja, this stings a bit

I was playing it on PS4 with my nephew (bought him - me really a copy ) - he then opted to sell the PS4 and go with Xbox One.
I bought him (well me) a copy of GTA5 that's keeping my kinda busy whenever I have the time.

Would've been nice to get on my pony again.

Still holding out on an Xbox S till I see what MSFS 2020 will be like on it.

I have to switch to 1080p for the option to be enabled, maybe check that?

I've got the Series X not the S, I know the S requires this, but the X doesn't. Reading the article it's selected games, I'll take a look through some of them soon.

Yes, you can. It'll only boost to 60fps instead of 120fps but it's still much better than 30fps.

I don't know if its because its S or X or because my cheap ass TV. Remember the built in up-scaling is done completely separate to render processing, that is why I said try it.

It's two great games but it still feels like so much money.

I got Valhalla from Amazon. I was ordering a laptop from there and Valhalla was on special for around R500 and adding it to the cart didn't add much to the delivery fee.
