I just hope that the resolution doesn't come at the cost of performance on X. Would definitely be interesting if the game employs dynamic resolution.

Btw, any word on whether the texture pack be needed to be separately downloaded after the 107GB install?
It's not exactly clear if is there from what I have seen. The patch is just labelled X enhancements.

If you kids want to see how loud your Xbox one x (and maybe pro) can get download the wolfenstein 2 demo. As soon as you get guns put down the controller for a few minutes. That's how loud it will get in during regular heavy load gameplay. If you want to max the fan to 100% go into the next room and shoot the oxygen tanks that blow smoke point blank.
No other game comes remotely close to pushing the fan like that.



If you can hear it in standby something is wrong. The loudest thing in mine is the whir of the hard drive. The fan doesn't really make much noise until heavy load and even then while audible it's relatively quiet. Usually won't hear it unless game audio is very low.
Tried Wolf 2. I was able to hear some fan noise, but only with the TV muted and me standing next to the Console itself. It is nothing compared to what my Pro puts out on a regular basis. Not even in the same range for me.

It won't scream like a pro but it ramps up the X fan more than any game. Especially if you let it sit for 5-10 minutes where you get your gun then go shoot the oxygen tanks. You want the smoke to fill your screen and it'll push the fan hard. It's kind of a worse case scenario yet still better than the average pro noise.

Does that mean no one gets to see the Xbox One X version until after release? Including Digital Foundry and other outlets?
Digital foundry will probably see it is imagine but no review copies will be Xbox. They may have to buy an Xbox copy to test it.

It would be great if it has a texture pack like shadow of war. Devs should really utilise that extra memory.

Nothing touches a noisy pro. I couldn't deal with that if I had another option. Mine is loud as it's a launch day one.

The reality is even the extra 2,5 GB arent enough most of the times for 4k texture. Especially in free roaming. But maybe this time is different.

Yeah it's pretty childish stuff really, not every Pro is loud either. But some on here can't help themselves unfortunately.
My Pro is loud, my X isn't. I don't see what is childish about saying this? It is a real issue with the Pro. It is hands down the loudest Console I have ever owned. I have never heard any other Console over the game I was playing.

Just because your Pro is loud doesn't mean they all are, mine is quiet. It's childish when it's chucked into a thread, purposefully, that is about 4k texture packs.
Others were discussing it, so I chimed in. I didn't "chuck" anything in here. Also, are you telling me that when you fire up a game like DOOM, you hear nothing? I find that very hard to believe, frankly.

Yeah, there are quite a few games that seem to almost push X too far, at the expense of stability. I hope that isn't the case for RDR2. As for the texture pack, it's all speculation in here right now. We don't even know if there will be a download, AFAIK. Just going off a description, I think.

The pro is notoriously loud. It's the loudest console I've owned as well. You're in the minority having a quiet one and it's completely fair for the rest of us to complain. It genuinely spoilt my experience, and my partners with until dawn and other big first party.

You would be on a tense section on until dawn and it sounded like someone had turned a vacuum on. My Mrs would say "That is so annoying" it was poo.

My Pro is pretty quiet, but it has plenty of room. Playing DOOM had the fans kick in at times but not on a ridiculous level.

I wasn't targeting you either just to make that clear, just certain other users who clearly know what they are doing.

Frankly if the x version isn't noticeably superior it isn't fair on the Xbox one x owners. If it has anything to do with Sony's marketing, it's even worse.

Said that in another thread but why R when people asked to them about pro and X patch enhancements, it said they can't speak about it at the moment? Couldnt be because only the X has a patch enhancements and they won't screw their partnership with Sony? I don't see any other reasonable explanation.

It will be apart of their contract with Sony that they can't discuss the x version. They might be able too after launch but deffo not before. Think how many people would buy an x for this game if they knew it was considerably better.

Digital on both! X1X for solo. Pro mainly for the online with friends. I need some friends on Xbox, lol.

Crazy thing is I will be picking up the PC version if it comes to be. >_<

I'm getting both too. Digital on xbox, physical on PS4. Probably won't be getting the PC version (doubt my computer could run it in any decent capacity), but I'll for sure get the next gen version.

Sony pay to get their name slapped on adverts and bundles leading up to and after launch. Honestly too much is read into these marketing deals.
Rockstar will utilise both consoles to the max, it's what they've always done, and if the X ends up being the superior version then the impact that has for Sony and Rockstar is minimal.
Any people buying an X for the improvements is going to be weighed out by those picking the PS version because they saw it advertised with Sony's marketing attached.
The only L Sony will take is going to be in the faceoff category and at this stage of this gen those hardly carry the weight they did five years ago.

All great points. I agree.

Sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere, but is this included in the preload? Finished d/loading the game last night on my X and hoping there is not another giant patch coming

So why ban the discussion of Xbox version then. These types of things being secret is poor from a customers point of view.

Shadow of War wich we know has a "4k texture" pack also has exactly the same line indeed. Just checked. With the second Scorpio available thing. Alot of other games i have and know doesnt have "4k textures" dont have that line.

I can't wait to see how this looks on the X. Another graphical prowess open world to go along with FH4

There is an extra download for the X on top of the base game. This all points to something extra being included for X. In past instances this has meant a higher resolution texture pack.
It's pretty certain at this point.

Sony gives Rockstar money to promote their version of the game. People playing the game now are probably only experiencing RDR2 on PS4 as this is the version being presented. You can't really discuss the advantages of the X version if nobody has even seen it yet. (And probably won't until launch day).

But but but Cerny...

Sorry, but it's just funny how people were acting like Sony discovered some technical prodigy, but random Microsoft engineers shipped a better product. Havent heard a peep from Cerny since the Pro reveal event.

Are you his friend or something? What do you want to hear from him exactly? More importantly, why are you posts always console war flavored?
