Errrrrr what am I missing? Where is Silent Hill? The original is the best. Best story, setting, and especially the soundtrack and music within. No idea why they're not starting the remakes from the beginning. It's heresy!

They've absolutely torpedoed all interest in this for me - it looked fairly lacklustre already, now there's no hope it's any good. The thing that really made it look garbage is the tiered gear and loot box-like mechanic. Terrible decision making. This will bomb hard.

This looks, and I can't stress this enough, shiiiiiiiiiite.

Valheim is such a special game. I hope it's got easy cross-play in it.

@kiwi_Gamer1998

Yeah same - the RT implementation isn't even very good anyway, so I turned it off quickly - locked 60fps if you switch off. The screen space reflections look beter in my opinion!

Well there's a headline I never thought I'd see. Imagine! A FromSoft game outselling CoD. Unbelievable really.

Loot River looks great. Have seen it on Steam, really keen to try it.

@MasterkillerX

I played a bit this morning, I could also notice a slightly smoother performance, I was only really in one area though - I'll try a misty and rainy area later, that's where I would see the VRR struggle to keep things smooth. I think there's an almost imperceptible change to the lighting as well, or something along those lines. It looks slighter cleaner and better to my eyes, although I could be imagining it - I was doing an area that was previously inaccessible. The Hoarfrost Stomp is definitely nerfed. It felt like I was cheating! The mimic summon is still good, but I only just got it so have never really seen it's power prior.

This is great! I've played through re2 with Claire's story, and re3 up to the end, but haven't finished either properly. This is just the nudge I need.

I got the online part with some xb gift cards, it looks pretty decent in 60fps Rt performance mode, no drops, although I have a VRR screen. Very much the same game though! I've not done the recent ish heists, so that'll be fun.

@JoakimZ

Same. Whenever the hell that might be! 90 hours in and I don't think I'm even halfway yet.

@Medic_Alert

Fair enough yeah. Hopefully the issues get patched out soon. I'm lucky enough to have a 4k VRR monitor so the near60hz is smooth, and is a non issue for me. Incredible game.

@Medic_Alert

Hey, if you don't mind me asking, why did you refund Elden Ring?

My monitor isn't hdmi 2.1- only 2.0 but it supports VRR - and it works perfectly.

@PhileasFragg

They already are remastered - 1 and 2 run in the 3 engine here. It was one of the most impressive things a game dev did last gen. Let me explain: When 3 came out, as long as you owned one or both of the prior 2, you could add them as fully playable within the 3rd game engine. All the latest graphical improvements were retroactively added to the orginal games, so you could play through the whole lot in 4k* 60fps with all the bells a whistles. (*probably VRS or 1800p). Now you get that all gathered together in one place. For my money, collectively these games together are one of the greatest gaming releases in modern times.

Great news! I nearly pulled the trigger on a PC copy yesterday because I wanted to play at 60fps. Already own it on xbox so I'll just wait. Hopefully Outer Wilds gets a framerate upgrade soon!

TOOTTOOT nuff said

I bought it for 12 quid, a couple months after launch, still play it now. It's brainless but I keep coming back for a mindless run about and shooty shooty. Hopefully the upgrade for Series consoles is fancy enough. I get why it is hated but it's worth a look. The premise was so good and the survival element suited the setting. It probably should never have been a Ghost recon game, I wonder if they'd named it something else entirely - would it have gotten an easier ride?

Prey was a particularly brilliant upgrade because the resolution didn't get a downgrade. I really hoped they'd be able to do the Dishonored 2 and DOTO like this as it's the same engine but it seems the later is stuck at 900p.

I can see a big difference and am really pleased with this update. The artwork of the game app tiles now pops. Folk that say "who cares I just play the games blah blah why would you need this" can bore off. I am one of the ones that like it, if you'd rather it was in SD turn your xbox to output SD, and shut the ***** up! 😃 Some folk like using the full capability of their expensive hardware and screens and appreciate the choice. Now fingers crossed they do HDR for the folks who would like it to do that too!

I own the original game and then the DLC in the order it was released, however I've yet to play Blood and Wine. Played the rest of it through on xbox one x, framerate mode. Really looking forward to playing B&W with all the enhancements! Hope ray tracing isn't locked to 30fps mode, the 60fps makes the combat bearable.

1000's of hours in L4D1+2 mean that's an easy choice from me

Maybe they've went back to Platinum Games to complete Scalebound.

I bought one but it was £184, but I could spread it over 5 payments, so was really happy to do that. Just in the nick of time, getting really annoying juggling space.

I probably put 500 hours into Texas Hold 'Em, the servers were populated for years!

I bought Forza 7 because once it disappears off GP it is delisted as well. IT was £7.49 (I also had a £5 voucher) - totally worth it! IT still runs great at a good resolution and 60fps on Series X. Loads of free car packs to grab as well because it's ending.

@DrJamesOxford you said:

"...gamers that support these intellectual properties are tired of seeing."

This just about made me spit out my tea.. apologies if you're about 12 years old @DrJamesOxford and I mean no disrespect, but otherwise..

Saying you "support intellectual properties" rather than "buying games" is absolutely hilarious and peak internet. Astonishing self-entitled bollocks. These developers wouldn't care if you lived or died right now on the spot.

@Snake_V5

I use 3 different wired headsets, with 2 different controllers. All sound perfect - maybe your controller is bust?

If you play Night in the Woods, it takes about 5 or so mins to get to a bit where you're sharing a pizza, BUT don't eat a slice, only eat the crusts. Do it twice, and acheivement pops.

Cyberpunk has a good photo mode. Shame about the rest of it!

@UltimateOtaku91

Yeah there's a PVP mode, it's like Versus Survival in L4D. Separate bespoke maps. It is kinda fun but not as good as old Campaign Versus. Here's hoping they can find a way to implement that. I managed to get on long enough to play some campaign too, overall I really liked what I played so far, and will be trying to get on as mich as I can over the weekend!

@Originut Yep if you leave FSboost off, the resolution looks like 4K even if it recontructed or something, and it is a locked 30. It looks really good considering its age.

@Shigurui @Roqka

I recently downloaded AC3 remastered as I believed it was 4K60 as well, but unfortunately it isn't, unless that changed within the last 2 weeks, I hope it has! Otherwise when I tried it, was 900p and looked kinda fugly.

I may very well be tempted to look at AC rogue now though!

Yessss! I never got round to playing beyond the first hour of this so goes straight to the top of the backlog!

Dirt Rally 2.0 is an essential game if you've not played it. Difficult but really rewarding. Personally loved Grid as well. It's certainly a bit bare bones but the actual racing feels amazing. Especially the open wheel races, they're so much fun. Both games still hold up graphically too, super smooth.

I've got one Series X, 1 camo Xbox one, 1 regular xbox one that came with the one X and has drift, and a wired PowerA with back paddles, which is actually an excellent controller. Never actually tried it with my SX, sure it works fine though.

Hmm it's not that nice checks bank account

The wording seems to suggest it's either new users, or users who have not yet bought anything from the store.

I used to run my PC through it. It was fine for a while but it wasnt really simply as pass through, so the resolution was affected slightly. In the end I got a monitor that had more inputs, so run my computer through that instead. It would be a great feature if you're running a tv box through it.

I'd heard this was Gamepass-bound, fingers crossed.

VRR is a brilliant thing. It's supposed to work in such a way that you don't even notice it exists. I recently got a monitor with VRR, and I was playing Fallout 4 with the 60fps mod. There was a room with heavy smoke and particles, and I could see a slight sort of judder, but so slight you'd barely notice. I realised it might be a sign of VRR really doing its magic. Sure enough, I switched off VRR and went back to my save - the framerate tanked, it was shuddering and tearing really badly. It probably dipped to about 35-40fps, maybe even less. VRR goes back on and it's totally smooth again. Such a brilliant feature.

I really hope they do The Witness. And start introducing 360 games in too. Left4Dead 1&2, Portal 1&2, RDR would be excellent.

More FPS boost magic?
