Dankjewel voor je input, goed om te weten dat het gamen op Xbox allemaal dus in hetzelfde ecosysteem blijft zitten. Wat betreft game-sharing pak ik er even een citaat van Phil Spencer bij; “Thanks to backward compatibility, you can expect your gaming legacy, thousands of your favorite games across four generations of gaming, all your Xbox One gaming accessories, and industry-leading services like Xbox Game Pass to be available when you power on your Xbox Series X in Holiday 2020” Lijkt erop dat game-sharing dus gewoon blijft bestaan op de Series X. Nogmaals mijn dank Rene.
Komende donderdag om 17:00 uur bij Xbox Inside de eerste gameplay beelden van de Xbox Series X games. Waaronder Assassins Creed Valhalla. Gerucht is dat Playground games (bekend van de Forza Horizon games) ook een game laat zien (gefluisterd wordt dat het Fable game is)
Microsoft heeft aangegeven dat het om third-party titels gaat, hun eigen titels tonen ze pas later. Een verrassing kan natuurlijk altijd nog, maar zou niet heel erg logisch zijn.
Net als bij de Xbox One X krijgen we nu dus ook een Xbox Series X badge. Eigenlijk vind ik vooral de benadering andersom interessant: er zijn dus ook games die niet geoptimaliseerd zijn voor het systeem? Of in ieder geval niet dit predicaat verdienen.
Not only should gamers be able to play all of these games from the past, but they should play better than ever before. Backwards compatible games run natively on the Xbox Series X hardware, running with the full power of the CPU, GPU and the SSD. No boost mode, no downclocking, the full power of the Xbox Series X for each and every backward compatible game. This means that all titles run at the peak performance that they were originally designed for, many times even higher performance than the games saw on their original launch platform, resulting in higher and more steady framerates and rendering at their maximum resolution and visual quality. Backwards compatible titles also see significant reductions in in-game load times from the massive leap in performance from our custom NVME SSD which powers the Xbox Velocity Architecture. As I play through my personal backlog as part of our internal testing, all of the incredible games from Xbox One and earlier play best on Xbox Series X. Beginning with Xbox One X, the compatibility team developed brand new innovations that could be applied to a hand curated list of titles to enhance them even further than what was possible when they were first created. Techniques such as the Heutchy method, which enables titles to render with increased resolutions up to 4K, or applying anisotropic filtering to improve the final image quality bring these classic games up to modern standards, better than ever before. The team was not content to just rely on the increased hardware performance to improve your playing experience. The team developed new platform level capabilities to ensure all of your games continue to get even better. In partnership with the Xbox Advanced Technology Group, Xbox Series X delivers a new, innovative HDR reconstruction technique which enables the platform to automatically add HDR support to games. As this technique is handled by the platform itself, it allows us to enable HDR with zero impact to the game’s performance and we can also apply it to Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles developed almost 20 years ago, well before the existence of HDR. With all of the additional power and advancements of the Xbox Series X, the compatibility team now has a veritable playground of new capabilities to innovate and push the limits of game preservation and enhancement. The compatibility team has invented brand new techniques that enable even more titles to run at higher resolutions and image quality while still respecting the artistic intent and vision of the original creators. We are also creating whole new classes of innovations including the ability to double the frame rate of a select set of titles from 30 fps to 60 fps or 60 fps to 120 fps.The team also continues to listen to feedback from the community on additional titles you would like to see added to the compatibility program. Resurrecting titles from history often presents a complex mix of technical and licensing challenges, but the team is committed to doing everything we can to continue to preserve our collective gaming legacy. https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/05/28/xbox-series-x-next-generation-backward-compatibility/
Waarom zou je nu al een commercial lanceren waarin 1 third party game wordt uitgelicht (AC as usual)+ ook de andere (of is die wel exclusive?). Dit belooft weinig goeds voor de exclusives.
Het bestempelen als een commercial is wat overdreven. Meer een promofilmpje die gisteravond is uitgezonden bij IGN's stream. De echte commercials komen pas richting de launch, als er al meerdere presentaties zijn uitgezonden.
Microsoft heeft het Smart Delivery systeem verder uitgelegd met een drietal voorbeelden: Gears 5 – If you own Gears 5 or are loving it via Xbox Game Pass now, you can play it today on Xbox One. Then, if you pick up an Xbox Series X this holiday, all it takes is a push of a button to download it and you’ll have the Optimized version of Gears 5—available on day one at launch with the console—at your fingertips. Halo Infinite – When Halo Infinite launches alongside Xbox Series X and Xbox One this holiday, you only have to buy the game once and you’ll get the best version for whichever console you own, or both. If you pick up Xbox Series X for your living room, Smart Delivery will recognize that and deliver you the Optimized version there. If you decide to move your existing Xbox One to a bedroom or the office, Smart Delivery will recognize that too and deliver that version when you’re playing on Xbox One. More Titles – Lastly, some new and existing Xbox One titles will be Optimizing their games after the Xbox Series X launches. For example, if you buy Cyberpunk 2077 when it launches on September 17, you’ll be set to explore Night City on Xbox One. If you pick up Xbox Series X at launch this holiday, you can play it there too in compatibility mode, picking up exactly where you left off. Then, when CD Projekt RED delivers an Xbox Series X Optimized version of Cyberpunk 2077, you’ll automatically get upgraded once it’s available at no additional cost. Voor nu zijn de volgende titels bevestigd: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (Ubisoft) Call of the Sea (Raw Fury) Chorus (Deep Silver) Cyberpunk 2077 (CD Projekt RED) Destiny 2 (Bungie) DIRT 5 (Codemasters) Gears 5 (Microsoft) Halo Infinite (Microsoft) Metal: Hellslinger (Funcom) Scarlet Nexus (Bandai Namco) Second Extinction (Systemic Reaction) The Ascent (Circle Entertainment) Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 (Paradox Interactive) Yakuza: Like a Dragon (Sega)
Series X kan wel eens op 6 november launchen https://www.trueachievements.com/n42813/xbox-series-x-leaked-release-date
