Xbox Series S/X: Thread 04

Also... Cyberpunk is now showing as Series S/X enhanced?

That's interesting... I'd give it another shot if it gets a next gen dress up.

Well that's too much coincidence and great news. I shelved it back at launch whilst they fixed stuff and admittedly just never went back...

I know someone who will dispute this (well, maybe given we're talking the console version here) but keep those expectations in check. Even if fixed up flawlessly, the game isn't anything special.


Tried CrossfireX last night too, not worth doing a First Play for as it barely qualifies as a game. It's more like a demo and a deeply broken one at that. It feels very far from finished, from the way it handles to the astoundingly broken MP set up. It's unbalanced to hell.

I liked Cyberpunk. Can't wait to get back in to a new Shinny version playing a different campaign.
Crossfire X was crap though. Installed it. Played a few rounds the uninstalled it.

Thankfully I and many others disagree with that. Night City is a marvel, and so is the entirety of the game narrative. Once you get specced out somewhat it plays a very fine FPS/ARPG, especially if you build into acrobatics and opt for bullet-time cybernetics. Actually role-playing the game (so, ditching fast-travel and the other modern videogame QOL tropes) makes it even better.

But yeah, expecting it to reach RTX levels of polish on a €500 AMD box is asking far too much of anyone really. It's practically the killer app for Tory voters, and will more than likely remain that way until the real next-gen patch (PS6).

Maybe itll fix all the broken **** and add all the stuff they left out without the need for PC mods and a £1000 gaming rig. I'm not hopeful though.

A rumour that Microsoft and Obsidian are toying with the idea of making Fallout: New Vegas II

It's good to hear as it's Obsidian and that game really deserves a sequel if they have the desire for it.

On the flip side what Xbox needs right now from it's first party studios isn't another RPG... We're ok for RPGs right now.

[Neon Ignition]

Maybe MS is thinking that if Obsidian starts work on it now it'll stand a good chance of hitting market a couple of years before Elder Scrolls VI



Rewards Update - Reached the next GPU free month mark today, took a total of 15 days which is a new benchmark best. Gonna try one more time before I switch to tracking it more accurately in terms of how they're priced. Curious what the very fastest possible is without spending money.

I see 343 have fixed Halo Infinite so dolby vision now works properly and weapon animations aren't broken now either.

Still no cutscene fixes though...

What if... Microsoft are waiting on announcing their VR solution until... STEEL BATTALION : VR is ready!? With the proliferation of HOTAS systems around these days they won't even need a special controller. Let people use the pad if they want but support HOTAS systems as well. Steel battalion in VR. Why have I not thought of this before? Why has it not been made, or something similar? Or has it and I haven't heard about it?
