Xbox One: Thread 06 - Discontinued Edition

[Paulos G]

Can we check how long we have played games? I am keen to see my Far Cry 5 playtime...

Yeah. If you go onto your achievements and select the game it'll show you under the Stats menu.

You've played for 16 hours 11 minutes

You've played for 16 hours 11 minutes

With about 10 sides left on Island 1. Nice

[Paulos G]

I'm at 68 hours for Far Cry 5. It was only released 8 days ago. That's what being off work with a fractured ankle does for your gaming time!

Simply being able to play Panzer Dragoon Orta again gives me hope that Jet Set Radio Future may one day appear. Breakdown! Conker! Full Spec Warriror! I will happily rebut those games to show support.

[Yakumo]

Looking forward to the Sonic Gen one. I hope they boost it to 60fps.

[Family Fry]

Somic Genwrations is locked 30fps, it does look pretty sweet in 4k though.

[Yakumo]

Bummer. The side scrolling parts at 30fps look odd to me

[Team Andromeda]

Holy Crap Sonic Gen and Red Dead look stunning in 4K and Panzer Dragoon Orta next week. MS are just doing wonders with BC and using the One X. Bringing on the Division 4k patch tomorrow

[wakka]

Wow, Morrowind and Orta. I'd love to play those. If it gets JSRF as well, I'm going to really want an Xbox just to play what are essentially retro titles! I've never played any of the three as I never owned an Xbox OG.

[Paulos G]

There’s some good stuff on there. Full Spectrum Warrior has particularly got my attention!

[Team Andromeda]

Yes and looking forward to playing BLiNX and Conkers again too

[Digfox]

Yay on RDR news. Still need to complete that one.

Regarding the OG games, do they play the same on Xbox One and Xbox One X? Also do they play with any benefits on XBO/X?

I'm tempted to pick up KOTOR again as that's a sod to play on PC.

[nonny]

Bloody hell RDR looks great... What a lovely bonus ahead of RDR2 coming this year.

4X the pixel count on Xbox One and Xbox One S.
16X the pixel count on Xbox One X.

So that’s like original Xbox games displaying at 960p on S, and 1920p on X. I THINK that’s the P’s but I’m sure someone can correct me if it’s incorrect.
