DF Hitman on Xbox One X: The Complete Tech Analysis

10 to 20 fps difference is huge, especially when you consider it's running at higher settings. I honestly didn't expect it to be that much stronger. Happy to be proven wrong. Good job MS.

Seems every DF analysis is going to be a massacre in favor of the Xbox X. Glad got it and have no worries since I'll be playing the best versions of multi plats.

My goodness it's a huge leap over pro

Xbox One X is a BEAST

"Comparisons with Pro are interesting - the Sony console only has one quality mode, which is broadly equivalent to Xbox One X's performance set-up. There's one subtle change though - Microsoft's console pushes out detail further into the distance on both modes. Meanwhile, all of the quality-based enhancements - resolution, shadows and filtering - aren't available on the Sony system."
 
Insane advantage over the pro. 4k vs 1440p with higher detail setting on X or 20fps boost with more detail when at 1440p.

Does anyone know if you have to buy the game of the year addition for enhancements?
 
1 fps loss for Wolfenstein was such a big deal but I can guarantee those same people won't post in here since there's a 20fps difference in favor of XBX combined with 2.5x the pixel count. Imagine the months to come lol

Decent work, although I was expecting that from IO after their work on the Pro version. I'd always have to go for the steadier frame rate on both systems though although I do like that there are options so that people can choose what they prefer.

I agree with what they said about the HDR implementation, there's certainly nothing wrong with it but it wasn't as transformative as HDR in some other games. Obviously that's a stylistic choice rather than it being a simple right or wrong situation.
 
Nice.

I alaways had this opinion: the Pro is not a huge upgrade. I don't think it is worth the investment I don't think it's justifiable. The One X is a much better option.

Why do some of you sound surprised. It's been blatantly obvious how much more powerful X was from before it was even released. The fake it's a beast and all that shit is really embarrasing.

They're not surprised, it's called rubbing it in.

This reminds me of a comment I read on Eurogamer a while back. Basically there was no need for DF to do comparisons anymore since Xbox was going to start coming out ahead.
 
I'd like Jason Shrier to do some of his investigative journalism to find out why the Xbox One X seems to be getting better support than the Pro.

MS money hats?
Is the X just that much easier to develop for, in terms of upgrading existing games?
Is it just that a threshold of market penetration has been achieved, and the X is riding that momentum?

Developers have stated that it's easy due to it being similar to Xbox one already. So I'm guessing the higher threshold of power allows them to do less work.

I guess you have never been any DF threads when they compared Xbox one to ps4. Same shit.

Jeez

We truly are a community divided



After reading most of his comments downplaying everything X at every thread, and now this attack, I figured I could also throw a nasty jab in return. Of course no one was or will be suffering. It was really a joke hence the smiley face.

Fine console for people who like to play old shit I guess.

Such salty responses these days. Seems like many nerves have been struck in November.
It's not salt, it's a change of narrative. I bet if you check the history of some of the members posting here, you would see in 2013 it was all about the "games". I am curious about it.

It's all in jest, don't take it so seriously. I'd wager that 90% off us own all of the consoles anyway.

Outside of the annoying always online stuff, it's a fantastic Hitman game. Tied with Blood Money as my favorite in the series. Can't recommend it enough.

Is the always online stuff still tied into the GotY version? Because that'll make it an instant no-buy for me regardless of how good the X version is.

I think Hitman looks absolutely gorgeous. Watching this youtube video made want to go buy the game. (Will be on the lookout for deals.)

The salt and irony over a select few calling out "old shit" is that these games look amazing without having to be fully remastered and in some cases look better than "current gen games."

I'm quite happy that Microsoft is delivering on these promises. Wish it was the same for the Pro.

I never new they changed the lighting and made graphical improvements on all platforms. It really looks fantastic on all platforms.
