Been playing AC Origins again, going through the Hidden Ones DLC expansion. This game on the X is phenomenal.

Looks great for me. Maybe adjust the sliders a bit lower?

I have an OLED and the game looks amazing!!! I play my games in Game Mode.. Not HDR mode.

It looks sufficiently bright in non HDR Game Mode. I'm aware that on OLEDs, LG goes for a more "accurate" tone mapped picture in HDR Game Mode, which results in some dimness. But FH3 along with Madden 18 are the only two games across my PS4P and One X where I'm like, yeah, this doesn't look right.

PositiveGamer you're saying you play games that are HDR compatible in in regular game mode?

I must be the only one that isn't all that insanely impressed with FH3 on X, maybe it's the HDR that just doesn't look right, still too dim or something. It doesn't impress me as much as the other X enhanced games with HDR.

You are not alone. Im not that impressed either. Theres plenty of better looking games IMO: Gears 4, Witcher 3, Battlefront II. Even Halo 5 enhanced is more notorious.

I dont have an LG, but the way I adjusted was to look at the bright sun, and adjust sliders until sun itself (and the surrounding sunburn) looked just right.
After that, just go to blizzard mountain and pick a night track with snow etc, I think you will see the phosphorescents reflections etc already being adjusted just right too.

I was playing Mafia 3 last night when suddenly my screen went black for a second and my tv said no connection. It came right back though. Then ten minutes later the same thing. I restarted the system, my tv and my receiver and all seemed well for the 35 min I played after. Still, I'm worried. I'm using monoprice certified cables, about a month old. Sony 900E and Denon receiver. Been using this equipment for months without issue, and had my X since launch day.

Correct.. the TV Still detects HDR through Game Mode. HDR mode is only recommended for movies that don't have HDR. And honestly, I don't really like the way it looks anyway through HDR mode.

Eh? I think you're going to confuse people here. You are using HDR...the fact its in game mode is irrelevant.

HDR mode is a fake HDR mode that should be avoided at all costs.

I dont know how LG panels work, but on samsung I also have it set always on game mode, and the corresponding hdmi ports (xbox, ps4) set to always HDR mode,
so TV is always at game mode, and (only) when I fire up an HDR game I can see it automatically enables HDR in the info (adds "HDR" next to "UHD")
On samsung, not LG, there is a "HDR+" option that should be deactivated, that is to turn SDR to HDR.

Yep. Thats basically how it works on LG.

Set the HDMI port your console is on to "game". And select the SDR game mode preset. That gives you SDR game mode. When it switches to an HDR game it auto switches into HDR and LG have an HDR game mode preset for low latency.

As you say the HDR Effect mode on LG (a mode you can see in SDR) is just fake HDR like HDR+ on Samsungs.

It's such a shame and ridiculous really. Wasn't this game on the list ever since that list appeared? It's definitely a game I still intend to get at one point as soon as I am fully done with MHW and have finished The Evil Within 2. Capcom or MS hasn't said anything about it since?

Seriously, Capcom just visited MS office and teased everyone with the damn finger meme once again..

How can they not care about RE7 X patch? There's something going on for sure.

When it goes into HDR mode though your TV will switch to HDR standard, Bright, vivid or game. So your mode does change when HDR kicks in. HDR game I assume is what you use?

I guess that's what you call it??

It says Game Mode in Input but when it detects HDR, the HDR logo flashes on the top right.

I have also adjusted some of the settings according to Rtings in Game Mode. Maybe that's why Forza Horizon 3 looks good?

There are some dark moments here and there, but when the sun hits, it literally goes through the TV.

When it switches to HDR bring up the TV menu and select the mode you want. There are a few HDR modes. It will remember this mode whenever it switches into HDR on this input. You can also tweak the settings too.

I haven't even checked those settings yet. I guess I left them to default HDR then lol

Oh damn, forgot about their visit yeah. But didn't they also recently say that they didn't have any news on it or even that they had never promised it? Or am I now thinking of a different dev?

I've been saying previosuly, its being held back to implement vr support which microsoft will announceat e3. Occulus partnership.

No, you are right. That's what they said recently. Who knows at this point?? Just a major letdown. RE7 was my top choice for the X when it was announced.

I don't know if this is the best place to ask, but I have a gaming PC (with a Saphire R9 380 4gb), a base PS4 and an Xbox One S.
I'm very interested in the X, but is it worth it paired with a 1080p display?

I was thinking about selling my R9 380 and the XB1S to buy an XB1X, since I play console much more these days than PC.

Short answer: Yes it is.

I would keep the 380 for the odd indie title that doesn't make it to Xbox/PS4.

Something similar happens to me. TV goes black, then back to normal, ten seconds later black again. I turn my TV on and off and everything's fine. No clue if it's a problem with the TV or the X.

Yes, I know a couple of people who did the upgrade and the difference is pronounced.

All I have are 1080p TVs and the X was definitely worth it.

Thank you guys, I'm going to sell the R9 380 and the S, then buy the X and a gt 1030 (used) so I can play the low end odd indie on PC as well.
The biggest reason for me to have a gaming PC, was to play last gen titles maxed out, but with the back compat on the Xbox One (and Metal Gear Rising), I don't feel like I need the PC platform anymore.

Also, do you guys think that a price drop for the X is possible on E3?

I have an older Vizio 4k model and this happens only sometimes with the 4k/60 hdmi port. I'm pretty sure it is something with my tv because it does it with my Pro hooked into that port and my x.

Alright, that sounds good.

E3 is too soon for a price drop, November would be a safe assumption.

This is the first game since owning my X for a week where I am having to decide which platform to buy it on. When I tried to search for info all it mentioned was how the Pro was the leading platform they were developing on and apparently they received the X units late or something. I want to see some tangible evidence of any differences though and hopefully we get a good comparison before release.
That does sound concerning but surely it can't be worse?

That's a goddamned shame man. This game would shine on the X with a proper patch. I wonder what MS would say when asked about this. I never use Twitter otherwise I'd ask the team, but then again I'm sure people have already asked that.

I'm very interested in FFXV royal edition. Hoping the XB1X delivers mostly in frame rate.

meanwhile if this hasn't been posted yet.

Holy crap what happened to Quantum Break, just fired it up again after the latest patch and it's just unplayable, screen tearing, bad frame rate, even audio issues which I imagine is because of the frame rate, I was on Act 3 Part 1 btw.

At this point, who knows. Seems to be stuck in the same limbo as the Elex patch - zero communication about both of these and both went to 'coming soon' in the list around the same time many many months ago now. It's frustrating as hell.

The Elex patch is in certification. No clue why it's taking so long, though.

I have an older Vizio 4k model and this happens only sometimes with the 4k/60 hdmi port. I'm pretty sure it is something with my tv because it does it with my Pro hooked into that port and my x.

It might be your HDMI cable. Both my Pro and X did the same thing any time HDR and higher resolutions were used together until I bought some better cables.

I think that game is just destined to be a technical shit show on every platform.

This is really disappointing to hear. I was so hopeful this final patch would get it right.

Just tried Quantum Break, Act 3, Part 1 to be specifically. It might be on your end because it runs quite smoothly on my X. Maybe try do a hard reset? (Hold the power button for 30 seconds then unplug external HDD. Boot it back up, hook in external HDD again).

You must play a different game than me. I have none of this issues. Maybe time to hard reset your One X?

What the fuck....

Fired up Crackdown, and all of a sudden the performance tanks like hell, insane really. This was in co op though. Took a while to get straightened out. It was like it was running in slow motion too. It's fine now, but that was odd.
Happened to me too, game went down to like 3FPS for a solid minute then sorted itself out.

Plays fine for me(finished tonight) but I did start a new game after last weeks patch. I did get screen tearing during some cutscenes.

Might be less sensitive to these things? I booted up the game after the latest patch and played for only a small while and yet I saw lots and lots of screen tearing and framerate drops. Can't say I would like to play it like that, I imagine this is the last patch they'll release as well.
