Shock of the century, the Tomb Raider dev misspoke:

quote:

Shadow of the Tomb Raider will not run 60 FPS while in 4K. To allow for a more customized gameplay experience, the game will include two visual modes: '4K Resolution' which runs in 4K resolution at 30 FPS, and 'High Resolution' which is targeting 1080p at 60 FPS. Both modes will feature a wide variety of additional enhancements such as HDR, improved physically-based rendering, hardware tessellation, anisotropic filtering, additional dynamic foliage, and more.

To be fair it can be doable, didn't Halo 5 get close to actual 4k60?

4K60 isn’t a meaningful benchmark by itself, it’s more about poly counts and effects and other factors that determine what’s feasible. Like if you built a cheap as hell gaming PC with like a Pentium CPU and 1050Ti card it’d probably do 4K60 with everything turned up for almost any PC game from before mid-2013 and some later ones too. Hell, despite being a weaker console, the PS4 Pro runs plenty of games at native 4K60, especially sports titles.

Lmao PS4 pro doesn't run poo poo at native 4k60 without scaling and checkerboarding. We can all harp on the X for not having games but it's a good but more powerful than the pro. I know Forza 7 is native 4k60 on x and it runs fantastic.

I said “especially sports titles” for a reason, they’re simpler graphically and don’t need much, so titles like FIFA and NHL do a full native 2160p at 60fps locked and so do a bunch of games with simpler graphics like Rez Infinite and some indies and the Wipeout Omega Collection. Since, you know, that was the point I was making (a weaker machine can still do 4K60 if different trade-offs are made).

It was looking pretty cool after 2 but fell apart with 3 imo. Never thought it was good. Couldn't even get through 5.

But here I was getting all excited to buy an Xbox one S so I could play the MC collection, SSX 3, red dead redemption, rare replay and Gears of War 😢. You telling it’s not worth it when I have a switch and PS4?

Well, every game you listed is playable on a 360 in some form except for some parts of Rare Replay, but those will play on whatever you’re posting with.

fo sho, destiny is very very bad. Possibly worse than Halo 5 because I at least H5 multiplayer was still mostly arena style that didn't make you farm lootboxes for weapons and perks.

I don’t have a 4k player either, so I kinda figured the graphical overhauls and cheap price of everything I just mentioned makes it worth it...

I payed the $1 month trial for GamePass to get sea of thieves and to check out some other games and they're all so bad I actually requested a refund of my $1.

WRC 5 has a framerate somewhere around 10. I dont even know how they were allowed to release it. the graphics look like its from 2008.

Sea of Thieves has no compelling reason to play it at all.

Gears of war 4, a franchise built on blood and gore, has you fighting god drat robots.

Like none of these games are good or worth playing.

I liked the robots in Gears 4 since they have different but similar tactics to the Locust making them a good change of pace in everyway that, say, the flood are not. Its not a great game but it was finishable for me*

There are some loving dire games on gamepass which is 0 surprise.

*The game just kind of ends so its not like it had the same feelings back.

The EA pass has more good games than game pass. Especially as someone who never played a modern battlefield but likes shooter campaigns, each one is a pretty decent 5-8 hour experience.

The original trilogy of Halo had a decent story, the issue was is you to completely immerse your self in every hidden terminal message, novel and blog post Bungie put out to understand it.
