Arent all games Xbox One X enhanced because of the automatic AF, or am I wrong?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
That's still no better though, they're holding back a patch for a month or more. Most early adopters will be finished with the game by then.

Second strike Bethesda.
Skyrim was amazing. Prey was late and buggy as hell.

If Bethesda keeps this shit up I'm just going to stop buying Bethesda games. Which really sucks, since TEW2 and Wolfenstein 2 are the two games I've looked forward to the most this month.
There's absolutely no excuse for a mega-publisher like Bethesda to not properly support the most recent consoles on any of their properties. At the absolute bare minimum a game should have a resolution bump and have all the extra resources available to the Pro, not just the extra power from Boost mode, accessible by the game.
It's also incredibly stupid to have completely unnecessary negative press for a game like TEW2 that's going to fight for scraps this month as it is. But hey, it deserves it.

Really surprised by the lack of Pro support. Isn't this getting a 1X patch? There's little reason to patch a game for one system and not the other.
What's wrong with the PC port? Guess it's a good thing I'm waiting before purchasing this.

Hey Bethesda. I was going to buy this. No PRO support means no buy.
Oh wow, this is a case of before and after. The wccftech.com link has a screen capture of the Xbox game page three months ago. MS removed 4K and HDR from the descriptors on the current page.
Performance and visuals are hugely improved from the first game but no Pro support really stings. I hope Wolfenstein II has it at launch. Bethesda publishes a lot of games I go out of my way to support on Day 1 because of their rarity these days but no Pro support stings every time.

No Pro support makes it that much easier to avoid for now. No rush really until they decide to add support for it. So much to play at the end of the month anyway.
To be fair, they may not be holding anything back. The patch may not be ready. It makes absolutely no sense to hold a patch back for any game. People thought the same about the Witcher but that's been released.
Depends on how easy they can reach that resolution without performance issues. I can't imagine it being too difficult, relatively speaking.
No pro support...wow. Get fuuuuuuuucked. Was already planning to only rent, but this would seal the no purchase even if that wasn't the case.

No Pro support is disappointing as I was at least hoping for HDR but seeing that the game runs at pretty much a locked 30fps with boost mode on somewhat makes up for it. TEW2 does look a lot better, crisper and cleaner. No HDR is very disappointing as is the resolution being only at 1080p but seeing as how the game runs a billion times better than the original without black bars thankfully, I'll accept the exchange especially since im expecting this game to be real good and blow away REVII for me personally. Still can't wait for tomorrow!!!

At least native 1080p with stable 30fps is a heck of an improvement over the first game. I was kind of worried there.
The only thing that's mandatory is 1080p and equal or greater frame rate.
This is the main reason its more of a bummer and not making me too upset. I played the first in boost mode again a couple months back and even that was an ugly game with uneven performance. This looks substantially better on the tech front.
What?? Now that's really strange! Haha

The more I watch this game, added to the fact they didn't bother with Pro support, makes this seem like a B tier game being pushed as a AAA.

Sounds like the same situation as Prey, will probably get a patch later, disappointing it's not supported at launch though.
I wish they would at least say something ahead of time if they plan on adding it after launch.

Come on, 1080/30 is the absolute bare minimum for a game in late 2017. This is not a great accomplishment and I'm disappointed the game didn't ship with a pro patch.
Nah. Dishonored 2 and Prey were both shit.
Considering Evil Within 1, 1080/30 is a monumental achievement. Definitely one of the most technically incompetent games I've played in the last decade.
True.

I bought Prey in August from the bargain bin, thought it did run great on the Pro. Cant remember the version number, but I think its still the latest patch available.
It had no Pro support until a month or so after launch.
This is where I'm at. This being 1080/30 with no black bars basically is pro support to me. A huge leap over the original.

By the time I get this I'm sure there will be a patch.

Dishonored 2's Pro support was decent. 1440p/30 FPS. It didn't support super sampling for 1080p TV's which was a bummer for 1080p TV owners.
Prey had pretty minimal support though, that's true. 1080p with some enhanced lighting effects and draw distance, that's it.
Here's hoping there's one sooner rather than later.

I'm not aware of any such promises.
This is from the Matthies interview I posted via GameSpot the other day, when asked about PS4 Pro and X1X support:
Jens sounds quite uncertain and vague here. It could simply be implying a boost mode scenario in which the dynamic resolution targets are met more often than on base hardware.

Thanks Bethesda now i will wait and most likely buy it on sale. Not that with GTS, COD, Assassin and the other games i would've had time but now i can at least save some money.
Good, show 'em this is not OK! No PRO, no buy!!! 👍👍👍
