"The Xbox is Like A High End PC"

E3 2017: Xbox One X Is "Like A High-End PC," Developer Says

Microsoft's Xbox One X console was one of the biggest talking points around E3 this year. We learned its final name (it was previously known as Project Scorpio) and Microsoft confirmed a price point, $500, as well as a November 7 release date. A number of developers have already chimed in with their thoughts on the console, and now Paul Bettner of Super Lucky's Tale developer Playful has spoken about the system as well.

Speaking to GameSpot, Bettner--who created Words With Friends before making Lucky's Tale and now Super Lucky's Tale--said Xbox One X is incredibly powerful. Not only that, but the system is also very developer-friendly, Bettner explained.

"From a developer's standpoint, [Xbox One X] is the most developer-friendly console we have ever worked with," he said. "Not just because the hardware is super over-powered--which it is. I don't understand how they ... it's like a high-end PC crammed into this tiny little box."

Bettner added: "The tools and support we had developing the game is the most advanced it's ever been. And I think that's because Microsoft hasn't necessarily been reinventing [with every new console], they've been refining and making it more powerful. This is the best version yet of the Xbox."



The power of the Xbox One X allows Super Lucky's Tale to run at 4K/60FPS, which Bettner told us is a big deal for platformers.

"The fact the game is running in 60 frames per second is probably actually the most impactful thing for a platforming game," Bettner explained. "It gives you this precision and it really benefits the game like this that's a lot about timing and about controlling this character--and it just feels great.

Yeah I read that and I am not surprised that third party is slow to the party implementing the power and taking shortcuts for 4K. 2018 going to be nuts.

So, I've had to do my own research because I've come to realize brehs aren't playing fair when it comes to their opinion.

I asked about Freesync but didn't fully get answers so I looked up the relevant Digital Foundry video that showed the benefit the Xbox One X will have with Freesync being the only available console with it which will thus future proofing itself when the 4k monitor/TV's are on the market -



My layman's understanding:

Freesync compatibility will allow the XIX to be the only console that will allow the GPU to send the command to the monitor/tv to refresh the screen at the best time. Even if a game and console can work to be 60 FPS, the tv's refresh rate may not change the screen fast enough to allow the optimal illusion of natural motion, thus screen tears and juttering.

I watched as brehs argued back and forth about CPU bottlenecks and the disappointment of the XIX's CPU sharing that of it's little brother X1 but I couldn't compartmentalize between what was bias and what was fact so I viewed this:



My Layman's Understanding:

The best way I could put it is this - The XIX told this bad Amazonian type jawn that when she straddles him on the edge of the bed, he'd pick her up and put it on her while she was in mid air as he hold her by her thighs and ass. The thing is, the CPU is his strength capacity and he might not be able to left her thick ass considering he had to jog to her crib after just getting out the office and walking up 6 flights because there's no elevator in her building. If the CPU is bigger, than the console can handle more shyt that divides its processing power/strength.

From 2:00 - 3:40 - Essentially, the GPU Direct X 12 upgrade will allow what once bombarded the CPU with "thousands of instructions are now reduced to eleven instructions." The nikka was blessed with a secretary who did all the tedious office paperwork so he left much earlier, was able to get an Uber and the jawn actually moved to the first floor so no walk up... Best believe her thick ass is about to get picked up like she was a slimthick because all of the extra energy/strength availability will make her feel like she's 50% lighter. XIX build will "drop cpu rendering workload by half" with games that are built on Direct X 12. E.I BATTLEFIELD, FORZA, BATTLEFRONT, GEARS OF WAR.

I also wondered whether the best competitive advantage regarding multiplayer FPS games would justify a few points for XIX but brehs grab a point and the whole shyt derails into fukkery so I also peeped in the above video starting at 3:40 -

My Layman's Understanding:

The benefit is null regarding a switch up from the X1 or X1S because they all support Dolby Atmos for gaming however, the PS4 supports Dolby Atmos for movies but not for games. Of course, that upgrade could come at a later date but from what's being said, you're be able to not only tell which direction an enemy is coming from, but you'll be able to know if the enemy is below or above you because of spatial sound. It's pretty cool but, again, may not be a big deal and may also come to PS4 pro.


I'm on vacation so I'm going to really try to understand Direct X 12 a little more because even in my ignorance, I feel as if that is an X-factor moving forward regarding Xbox One X's performance.

If anyone with more knowledge than me can help me clean up my thoughts please let me know...I'm trying to be unbiased so I'm not looking for anything more than making my understanding more accurate.

No EXCLUSIVE games tho...

 

[DPresidential]

No EXCLUSIVE games tho...

Honestly, I think the talking point should be "no exclusives I like"

 

[KingT33]

No EXCLUSIVE games tho...

 

[ORDER_66]

Honestly, I think the talking point should be "no exclusives I like"

I mean in theory you can play the xbox "Exclusive" games on a PC so what's the point of this system?!? Also you need a 4K tv to really bask in the visuals... They should have waited down the line to create this...

You do realize that most of this applies to the Pro too right?

This is confirmation bias.

TV's don't have free sync only pc gaming monitors xbox stans holding this bag on this one

Breh, if we are going call that out, isn't it an expensive "in theory" statement?

If Msft released a library of new ips that we're AMAZING, an exclusive console gamer, you're telling me that said person would just step back and be like,

"shyt, fukk a plug and play console, I'm going to naively venture into building and maintaining a gaming PC rig.

Breh, if any future PS4 game was to become an irrefutable system seller to me and I found out that the game also was coming to PC, I wouldn't hesitate to avoid all headaches and cop a PS4.

That argument is compelling for PC heads but for nikkas who don't want to worry about whether their graphics card is connected to the...hip bone and the hip bone is connected to the SSHD and SSHD is connected to the thigh bone and...etcetera etcetera...miss us with that tired shyt.

I want as plug and play as possible so I as well as many people could give a fukk about putting together skynet.


Y'all nikkas are hard headed as shyt talmbout, "Why should I get a Msft massage when I could go to night classes and train for my massage therapist degree and..." nikka fukk all that.

I am speaking from a mainstream strictly console view, Breh.

Breh...

My nikka...

My inquiry was fully related to what would make this console worth my $500...

PS4 has most of this? That's what's up, I'm sure it's worth its price.

I was being as objective as possible in that I never indicated anything about whether PS4 PRO can be compared to a high end PC nor did I use my comment to shyt on Sony in any way.

The only confirmation bias is your insecure ass noticing I looked at your girl for a second and you stepping to me on some, "nikka, fukk wrong with your eyes. We have a problem?!"

Sit your let me prove I'm tough as crash bandicoot ass somewhere, nikka.


fukk this nikka think he is, y'all?

Matter of fact... Post what you know PS4 PRO has also in comparison so you can help me better understand this shyt so I can be unbiased. While you're used to nikkas to irrationally fight, I'm trying to cut through the bullshyt.


Matter fact, before you call me or on shyt just do a PS4 search with my coli name and see I've been nothing but nuetral

This me from last year

Question for the Xbox crowd...

Can we admit that between the Xbox 1 and PS4, PS4 got the W?

So...

If Scorpio does give a W to the Xbox camp... and the Sony stans start acting like the Xbox Camp have since the X1 release for the next 4 years... How would yall take that?

Goofy nikkas, man...

Bottom line MS should have focused on the games instead of a gimmick system... :trollol: I mean dont get me wrong the system specs is crazy but Most people dont even have a 4k tv and already own the xbox one... So what's the incentive to buy a new system already!!!???
