Rise Of The Tomb Raider Looks Amazing On Xbox One X

@Bryjoered07: "The industry would be so much better if there were no consoles, you just get a PC. They would never have to scale down the graphics developed for different systems, everything would just be a PC game"

That's the main problem imo. The consoles as they are now are essentially just computer systems and becoming even more so, but they continue to use dated "proprietary" cpus while paired with generic hard drives and gpus.

Just go all-in on the same hardware PC gamers use, but keep the Xbox branding, physical console piece, custom OS and call it a day. PC gamers can continue to tinker and upgrade, and console players can be on what will soon essentially be the closed phone system of upgrading every couple of years.

No need to get rid of competition, branding, or console exclusives though.

@Bryjoered07: If you don't understand why having variety and competition is essential to development and success. You should reevaluate that thought process and start over.

Can't help but read this and get triggered. Dude if all games were on one platform, then devs would sell even less games, because the competition would be extremely stiff on that one platform. Like it is now for PC and Mobile. At least with consoles devs have a targeted audience to focus on and know they have better chances of sales with that targeted audience instead of throwing their game into the great deep end of endless games to compete with on the PC platform.

Basically a platform with 1,000 games on it, you have a better chance selling your game on that than a platform with 10,000 games on it. Simple math really.

In all reality, console gaming is the reason gaming is a huge success. It gives a smaller targeted audience for big time devs to maximize their profits in return giving us bigger and more ambitious games.

@sladakrobot: I cringed so much at this comment.

@robbiejones: You're warranted to have an opinion. But I disagree, its more than enough. When viewing these games with their enhancements it's almost night and day how much more clarity and graphical fidelity they have over the base consoles. Then take into consideration the amount of upgrade you get for other task such as 4k media, UHD Blu Ray, 4k DVR 60fps, 4k 60fps Streaming. This console upgrade is certainly a step above the rest.

Not to mention if you bought two consoles like me, Over all I spent $1,000 on consoles. If I spent $1,000 in 2013 on a PC, no way in hell it could match the Xbox One X today with out an ugrade in addition to0. Hell most would of been lucky to get just a TITAN around that price in 2013. Maybe a decent rig with a 980 in it but as we can see now you need a little more than a 980 to match what the 1X is doing.

So for those on console looking to get a hell of a bump up in power, resolution clarity, and just superb features for a console entry level price. They might want to consider getting this console. Just waiting for mine to hit the door step. And enjoy what ever you enjoy.

@martintule24: yeah because it was a "next gen" console that sold for half the price the others did

and when all the misinformed realised it wouldn't play CoD they bought the other machines (look at the Wiis software sales excluding the Wii sports game because its sale figures are warped because every console included a copy)

and look at the WiiU sales, the Wii burnt a lot of people and the WiiU suffered by sharing its name

@HenrySix: xbox1 was allrdy for me, imo xb1 controllers much better (pinky and ring finger start to cramp because ps4's is to small and they hang off the edge of the controller) 2: sonys not been very good with BC while micosoft has been, and has shown in multiply gens they will support it even if they need to make somall dev teams to make games BC. tho atm micosoft need permision to makes games BC, they wanted to make dragons dogma BC but instead we get a overpriced "HD" re-release of a old game. has happened with several games so far. pretty much if a game is turned down for BC by the studio, they are gonna try to cash in on a overpriced HD release. 3: i get to keep my free digital games each month

@Lord_Sesshy: LMAO, I was thinking the exact same thing.

@rarerichz: I can't believe you said Xbox isn't worth it when its not even out and we don't know it's exact capabilities.

@akassassin11: lol ok, you had me :p

@Dogmatic923: it has it for certain games

@pcps4xb: uncharted is so damn overrated. Technically speaking, it’s nice, but the climbing up and down is so boring.

Everyone has different tastes, people need to figure out for themselves what best suites them. Watch some gameplay videos.

@pcps4xb: You know, i've never totally understood this argument that if you own an XB, you'll have no games to play. Currently, I'm a XB only gamer with 200 plus games in my collection. With STILL more games I want to buy but need to wait. Ya I get the break down of how this argument went, that all multiplates were better on PS4, and if you'd owned a PS4 you'd only be buying the XB for Gears, Forza and Halo, which many calculated not worth the investment, thus many people invested all their multiplates into the PS4.

It now almost feels like a bait n' switch. You PS players enticed the world to invest all multiplates into the PS4 because of better performance, and only to have MS a few years later have XB turn around and upgrade a lot of those games to run better on XBX now. I get it, PS players are gut renched inside. I mean I'm sure some of you have thousands invested into your gaming collections with just multiplats alone, because at the time it was the logical thing to do.

For me however, just a lem, my faith has been rewarded. I have thousands invested in games that will be getting upgraded right off the bat. However, guys like you with all your games on the PS4, it's not practical to go back rebuy all those games on XB. There are many games I get to go back and play the enhanced verison for free.

We've reach a monumental point where the paradigm has shifted. It's now smarter to buy multiplates on XB, AANNNNDD it's also RETROACTIVE. So ya, cows have a good reason to be salty, and i don't blam them really. Had i'd went with the flow of popular opinion i'd feel the despair no doubt.

Nevertheless, i'll aggree MS needs to double down and make a varity of exclusive games if they want to bring in the masses. However, true fans of MS are going to see more value in the XBX then anyone else making the switch over because our already existing library is getting free enhancements. It will soon become a reality that multiplates are better on XBX retroactively as well as in the future and the exclusives are the icing on the cake.

All I can say is I've never been so pround to be an Americ....I mean a MS fan /cheers

@pcps4xb: You can always take always play Halo in 2004

@rodoxthedark: Come Nov 7 you will see plenty of side by side comparisons and from what I'm seeing now the differences will be stark.

@rodoxthedark: the difference is there but it will be like the og ps4 and XB1 where you would need a side by side visual to see the difference I'm waiting for a new game like gears or halo to really take advantage of the hardware (crackdown, state of decay and sea lf thieves doesnt look to do that).
