The fact the original bone even hits 864p is surprising.

Slightly better framerates than basic PS4, too. Just blurry.

Checking in to say RDR2 runs amazingly well in the One X. Gorgeous looking game, even just rolling around in mud is fun and great to look at.

I wish it had a free camera mode like a few other titles. At least the cinematic mode is nice.

Install took an hour or so from the 2 discs. Disc swap at 56% and then back to game disc/disc 1 at 99% to launch it.

Patch was 3.6GB.

How is first person mode? More fleshed out / well rounded than GTAV's?

Never did play gtav re-release. I only picked up an X bone x last week specifically for rdr2.

But i used it to clear out one camp of enemies just before, worked really well even taking cover behind trees you can lean out and shoot seamlessly.

Running up to enemies to do the close quarters one shot kill looks great in first person too.

First person horse riding is cool as hell.

Guys, I just confirmed with my local Gamestop that they do stack the two Xbox One X deals going on right now. I just bought my S two months ago, but I might actually go in this weekend and upgrade to an X and get RDR2.

The point of sale system is supposed to lock them out from doing that but just go there and let them do it for you while you act ignorant and everyone wins.

I just got one. I've got a PS Pro. The 360 backwards compatibility had been tempting me for a while, and with these multiplats running better on the X and RDR2 coming, figured I might as well.

The promotion at least runs through this weekend. I don't remember if the Gamestop rep told me it ends on the 1st or the 5th of Nov.

$250 credit is only towards the purchase of a One X. The promotion goes until the 28th.

Otherwise you're looking at ~$150 credit or $100 cash for your One S.

Yeah I didn't even really want a One X that badly (Forza looked cool as heck, but I'm not much of a hardcore modern gamer otherwise) but the fact that GameStop was willing to give me $250 dollars (lol) for my 4 year old PS4 was just too insane to pass up. One X + Game Pass is a hell of a combo.

the best battlefield game dice could make would be an hd re-release of bc2 with the gameplay untouched (except maybe rebalance the saiga, usas and choppers to not be completely ridiculous)

Sony knew the One X version was vastly graphically superior to the PS4 version and that's why they threw millions of dollars at Rockstar to feature the PS4 version in all the commercials cause if people saw the One X graphics on TV and then got the game home on their PS4 and saw how ugly it was they'd freak the gently caress out. What they don't know can't hurt them.

Just did the GameStop tradein - here's the details:

$250 credit for my 6 month old xBox One S (no additional for the 1TB vs 500GB, unfortunately)
$100 credit for buying RDR 2

Caveats:
  • Credits definitely stack
  • You can only get the $250 credit toward a bare console - no bundle deals (unless you get super lucky and someone at the store screws up)
  • The version of RDR2 you get will dictate how much extra you save - $59/$79/$99
  • Do NOT wipe your console before bringing it in! The website doesn't say this, so they had to set it up again at the store to make sure everything was working. Wasted 15 minutes on that crap.
  • The guy I bought it from fast talked me into buying the $14.99 Power Up Pro points bullshit. He was saying that I would get cash based on points, which is true, but he made it sound like I'd get a dollar for every 100 points in purchases. Turns out, you get a dollar for every 1000 points - big difference. In other words, for this $500 purchase (counting the trade) I earned one single dollar in points.
  • If, like me, you get suckered into that purchase, you have 7 days to return for a full refund. Guess what I'll be doing this weekend?
  • I did get a free code for State of Decay 2. If I can sell it for a couple bucks, I'll be happy.

All in all, still not too bad. I paid $250 for my 1S, so I didn't lose anything on the deal. I essentially put a down payment on a 1X and picked it up 6 months later, getting a free RDR2 in the process.
