Inside Xbox - next gen game reveal

Microsoft will be showing off next gen games in half an hour.

Keep the discussion here.

Not sure what that 'Optimized for Series X' logo is all about. How can a game appear on the system and not be optimized for it? I don't get it.

This thread gets the Official Nintendo seal of quality.

Its means that its using 12TFLOPS instead of....9.2 TFLOPS.

Can't wait for Sony to reveal the official "Downgraded so it can run on PS5" logo

Ugh. I spent an entire 4 minutes on my thread just to be beaten...

Uh oh. This has that "all games will output at 1080p" fiasco written all over it.

I was thinking: "Jesus christ, this is only minutes away. The biggest gaming event since corona crap, why hasn't anyone made a thread yet?"

LMAO

Better luck next time bro ;)

It's because they will be released on the one as well.

I'm expecting both PS4 and Xbox SeX to run at 4K/60.

Maybe some very graphical intensive games will run at 4K/30 (maybe an option for 1440/60?).

Could this be the gen where 60fps becomes standard for console games?

Ooooooh now I get it. This would be printed on Xbox One games.

Very hyped of see what’s going to be shown off here. Only about 15 minutes to go now. Woo hoo! 😁

Nope! It just means you will be running 1080p at 120FPS. Noticed resolution was mentioned for either FPS. ;)

Time for the "Is it exclusive hunt" for all the games that have not been announce prior. LMAO

Yeah I'm excited to see the games that will be shown. All I know is that it'll be 3rd party games and that Valhalla will be shown.

Looking forward to this.

4K dude!!!

Just bought my OLED TV, but it's yet to be shipped :P

Yeah I think they have something similar now for the X on their games at the moment. Like "Xbox one X enhanced" or something along those lines.

Please dear god let there be something from Capcom shown today.

Any words on Crysis remastered gameplay?

That one is current gen only.

This is all about next gen, baby!

Is basically the way MS will force developer under NDA to use every bit of power out of the xbox or they refuse the game..🤣

Is just a marketing hook to show the game is superior on xbox probably,they are playing the power card to the bitter end.

Same guy..😂

Oh hell yeah! You're in for such a treat!

@tormentos: Already damage controlling and nothing has been shown as yet. LMAO.

OLED is awesome.

could be cross gen otherwise cytek are stupid enough.

Next gen graphics here we go.

It begins!

Most powerful fridge, lol

Wahahaa ....the xbox fridge in his kitchen!

Aaron Greenberg with the Xbox Series X fridge. Brilliant. 🤣🤣🤣

LOL. The freaking Xbox Series X fridge.

Is this that Bright Memory game on Steam?

You won't like it. You play as a female. This is Bright Memory.

Holy hell, this game looks amazing. The weather effects look incredible.

Great, now I want a Series X fridge

New Dirt 5 looks great but I’ll pass.

Scorn! Been following this game for so long. When the heck is it releasing?

Madden is who cares who cares.

The fridge has been the most impressive thing so far.... wtf are you doing MS???

Most of these games are known. Some of these are cinematic trailers too.

Im so glad E3 trend is ended. the press conferences are just 90% of shitty indie games. 5% are just filler talk trash, only 5% left show actual games.

now in summer fest we can see both good and bad games get announced and we ignore bad instead watching whole shitty show/conferences.

Nice *Gameplay...

bloodlines 2 looks way better than I thought it would.

Another boring walking simulator with emotions. lol

Example of XSX vs X1X

From https://www.tomsguide.com/news/first-xbox-series-x-gameplay-may-be-revealed-today-with-forza-motorsport-8

Forza Horizon 4

The demo show will reportedly continue with Forza Horizon 4. Here we will see how variable rate shading works on the Xbox Series X. VRS is a technique that allows the GPU to boost detail and quality in complex parts of the images while lowering its power needs in simpler areas.

The reasoning behind VRS is that our eyes and brain can’t focus on the totality of an image. If you are paying attention to the screen, your eyes will be focused on where the action is, which typically is the more complex part of the image. The graphics engine doesn’t have to spend so much power on the less complex, peripherals parts of the image. That results in power optimization that allows to boost detail even more or increase the frame rate.

The results? Playground Games — who develop the Forza Horizon series — added VRS to Forza Horizon 4 when it received its Xbox Series X development kits in December. That increased the frame rate in the game by a whooping 32% with “no optimizations, just using VRS in parts with motion blur.” According to the redditor, “VRS changes the way they design games (VRS as motion blur replacement),” pointing out that the” lead engineer says they can reach 4K/120 today on XSX thanks to RDNA2 architecture and the combined effort of AMD and Microsoft.”

Yeah, 4K and 120 frames per second.

Swapping FH4's blur motion into VRS version enables XSX's FH4 to reach 120 fps 4K.

If VRS improves the frame rate by 32 percent which yields 120 fps 4K, then non-VRS version would be 81.6 fps 4K, hence XSX GPU is about 2.72 times better than X1X GPU's FH4 results.

The "no optimizations" could mean running on GCN legacy mode (wave64 instructions) instead of RDNA mode (wave32 instructions)

When running on GCN legacy mode, XSX GPU is effectively ~16.3 TFLOPS GCN.

Bloodlines 2 looks pretty good.

Always looked a little off before

Did anyone really care about these indie games and walking simulators? honest answer please.

*Gameplay...

Hopefully there is choices regarding resolution and frame rate next gen.

Native 4K @ 30-60 FPS

Native 4K Unlocked Framerates

1440P Upscaled @ 60-120 FPS

Etc.

All of these seem to be multiplats too.
