Thanks for sharing - looks great!

I've been planning on an Oblivion run since it came to BC but got swamped with other games. This got my enthusiasm back up again though

Here's Halo 3 from gamersyde. It's amazing how the 16x AF and increased resolution can make an old 360 game look so great.

Jup. At this stage I don't feel any pressure for preservation (unless MS pulls the plug out of XBL tomorrow ) so RAID 0 in favour of performance and capacity was fine.

The XB1S does recognize the drive and does give me the option to format it but doesn't actually do anything.

Ah well, I've got a 8TB drive on order that will be delivered any moment now that I can use.

Oh wait, you also have good internet access, right?

I'm SO excited for mine to arrive. It'll be my main console going forward.

That's not all they're doing, for what it's worth. They ensuring the highest quality assets remain in use rather than getting switched out for lower quality assets as they get further away from the player. I hope more games get the treatment.

They had one of these setup at my local Microsoft store. I played a bit if halo 5 and it was night and day, made me really excited. They also had the forza 7 demo and it looked okay, not great, I'm wondering if it wasn't actually in 4k yet

Man.. that Wired quote - "so very little to play on it". What a load of crap, regardless of how you feel about Sony or MS there is plenty to play on it!

It now is the best place to play multiplats AND retroactively makes exclusives and multiplats better. That alone is enough for alot of people

No wonder the textures looked so good at any distance.

I skipped Halo 5 and just now noticing how great it looks (especially on the X)... is it worth playing? I see it's pretty cheap now.

The forum name may have changed, but the posters haven't. Business as usual.

Walk-in pick up confirmed for Tuesday morning. Nice

When the PS4 had little to no exclusive games for the first few years of this gen the fact it was the best place for multiplats was a big selling point. X1X holds that place now and also has the current X1 library, BC with 360 and OG xbox where it improves games even unpatched. That should be plenty of justification regardless of what people think of MS's current first party output.

Any idea on when the patches are going to drop? Because I've only got a couple installed, but some others which people are downloading don't seem to be showing up. If the AC: Origins patch is 48gb I want to get it going, lol...

Amazing how good Halo 3 looks now. It was always nice here and there outside of a few aspects but cleaned up and best textures at all times, impressive, even now.

Is the Scorpio Edition going to be a sought after collector's item? Due to finances and something unforeseen, I will have to wait until the new year to pick one up for myself. I got a preorder for the Scorpio at an online retailer, and don't know whether to cancel it or to keep it and try to make the finances work. I guess I could sell it, but I don't want to be a scalper or gouge anyone.

I don't know if I like the Scorpio branding on it, myself.

I never finished Halo 3 on my 360 due to how dated it looked by the time I got it from Games With Gold. Although there's the MCC that i never bought because I was waiting for them to fix it which it looks like they are and I'm glad I waited. I can simply dive in now and enjoy a great looking Halo 3 now.

So having troubles with an external hard drive, any advice?

I'm attempting to format but after hitting format nothing happens and I just get booted back to the storage menu. The xbox detects the drive for media, and I can set it as a capture location fine, but actually setting as games and apps isn't working at all. I've tried all the USB ports, a different USB cable etc along with hard resetting the console, reformatting on the PC etc

Wow that Halo 3 footage.. other than the water physics.. that looks like a modern game. And it's still fun! I really hope they continue to update the older titles like this.

Their focus on Xbox 'history' is a really big selling point for me. I've spent all week playing Sid Meier's Pirates! because it's a fun a game.

You can try the game out for yourself through Xbox Game Pass right now with a 14 day free trial if you haven't already done that. 2 weeks is plenty to complete the campaign and get familiar with the multiplayer suite. And as you mentioned, it's relatively inexpensive now both physically and digitally now that it's 2-years-old - I'm sure if you wait until the end of this month for Black Friday deals (assuming you're in the US), you'd be able to get it for a song.

And if you're asking if the game is good, yes, very. It's a great feeling Halo evolution.

OLED is a different technology using organic LEDs.
The difference in quality is breathtaking. Once you have a properly calibrated OLED there is no going back.
So: save until you can afford one.
Yea I have to say I'm not seeing that great a difference in hdr on the DF Gears video on my TCL 605 Fald. I mean it's certainly on and I see but I am not blown away..... A little disappointed tbh with my tvs hdr I guess but I do appreciate it in games but it does not WOW me.

I bought it today on Amazon Germany for 14 bucks, new.
It's ridiculous how cheap some One games are.

any impressions from anyone on how network transfer has compared to normal download speeds from the store?
