Juicy Xbox One exclusive game rumors for 2018

Just not sure if the Pro is worth it over the base console?

If memory serves, you've bought a new 4K telly, amirite?

I personally haven't been motivated to upgrade yet, because I already own a high-quality Triluminous panel [2K] from Sony. It's the bee's knees, and made even more buzzworthy (sorry) thanks to the new software update 5.50. It incorporates 'supersampling'
in the hardware layer and means that supported games give the best possible image for everybody - provided you're running the Pro. Was happily grinding away in Tales of Berseria, implemented the change and - presto! - now even the backgrounds are alive with
detail (quite the achievement, considering the game was rebuilt from a PS3 foundation).

Honestly, 4K assets on a 2K screen? The clarity is so good it makes my eyes water (unless I'm forgetting to blink lol). At this rate, I'm gonna need even *more* convincing to swap out the last-gen Bravia, never mind replace a perfectly good Xbox One S.

Xbox is a great system. It is not prone to viruses unlike PC. It has the simplicity in that a controller is much simpler than having over a dozen buttons on a PC keyboard. And XBL is cheaper than PSN (source, Sony/Microsoft NZ).

Games I'm going to get into this year is (1) Cities Skylines on PC (2) Sea of Thieves on Xbox One X (3) The Sims 4 on PC (4) Cities Skylines on PC (5) due out late this year, Jurassic World Evolution from Frontier, on PC (6) this infinite mini golf game
on Xbox One X. Even though I have over 20 Xbox One X and over 20 Xbox 360 games, I pretty much now rarely play them. I've mostly given up on Minecraft since hardly anyone is playing it on Xbox One and I'm waiting like forever for Microsoft to get out the super
duper graphics pack. (7) Planet Coaster, on PC.

Will also look into getting this month, Life Is Strange After The Storm. I've played the first series on Xbox One on my day one console which is now in storage. However I'll get the PC version off Steam since Steam is selling it for NZ$23.99 and Microsoft
for Xbox is NZ$39.95. NVidia Shadowplay is also a much more reliable game video capture device than my Hauppauge HD PVR2 that I used to use a lot, to record Xbox gameplay and share to YouTube. My custom gaming desktop PC has a high end Intel Core i7-6700k
4.2Ghz processor and an EVGA GTX 1070SC 1888Mhz overclocked GPU with a Samsung EVO 850 1TB SSD. Wait until Goth sees my post. I've stated my PC specs again and for the first time this year.

Xbox One X is still great and I still see it's uses:

- Sea of thieves

- YouTube

- Netflix

- Have an 87% full friends list from Xbox 360 and over 100 friends on Xbox One (actual friends, not this following nonsense).

I don't really like the UI on Xbox One but it has improved a lot from the appalling state it launched as back in November 2013. Even today there's still a lot of clutter. The Activity Feed section which takes up a whole dashboard section. I used to own a
PS4 Pro for a few months to play Final Fantasy XV in better graphics since Xbox One X didn't launch till months later and Final Fantasy XV was long overdue from Square Enix (first announced in 2006 as Final Fantasy XIII-Versus). Now on Xbox One's Activity
section, all the boxes are now random sizes instead of a uniformed. Xbox One should have a more uniformed and faster UI like Xbox 360 and PS4. Honestly, you have to press so many buttons with Xbox One's UI. And the UI has been the biggest gripe for me on Xbox
One. For Xbox and PC gaming, I use a Sony KD43X8000E 4K HDR TV which I got in January. It has excellent anti-aliasing, Triluminos advanced colour technology bringing beautiful rich natural broader colour palate, an X-Reality-PRO processor, and Android 7.0
which is a much more secure OS than Samsung's Tizen OS. And it has voice commands, which Microsoft is behind the times since they have a pretty hard time understanding simple English NZ dialect which is pretty much English, where as all these other companies,
Google, Apple, etc have voice commands in NZ, without having to change your Xbox settings and pretend to be US or UK change locale in order to use voice commands.

As for FH4, I'm sticking to FH3. Final Fantasy XV and Assassins Creed Origins I have on Xbox One X and will look at getting around to these games too this year. I've tried a little of AC Origins and the graphics look very good. I like simulation games and
games with good graphics and which are fun for me. My first Xbox 360 game when I got the console late 2010 was Final Fantasy XIII, my first Final Fantasy game. And yes, that game had good graphics at the time and I liked the story and battle system and simplicity
of the game.

I did not buy Xbox to worry about "exclusives".

The problem is, what else is the reason to buy a system? Console or PC. I made the Xbox 360 my console of choice last generation because of the wealth of exclusive games I wanted to play on it. It was for that reason I bought an
Xbox One this generation.

Yet as time has gone on I am regretting that choice more and more. I find myself thinking "why have an Xbox One when all the games I want for the system I can also play on my PC and that includes 'exclusives'."

I find myself thinking more and more of selling my Xbox One and getting a PS4. If Microsoft are going to keep putting their best games on PC as well I won't miss out, yet I will miss out on the PS4 exclusive games.

Personally speaking, and I know I've said it before, Microsoft need to start making their games console exclusives again or more and more people are going to question the point of having an Xbox.

Having all of their games on PC was a horrible decision for them, but good for us.

The X is a great system, but PS has so many more great games and it's not even close. I'm thinking of getting a PS4 soon. I'll wait until E3 to see what games Xbox announces. If nothing great is on the horizon I'm jumping ship. I see less and less a reason
to have an Xbox over a PS. I couldn't careless about party chat, I actually hate it and it has ruined online gaming or me so all i want is games games games. PS is the place to go.

I dont give a hoot about PS4 and their exclusives. Why get PS4 when multiplayer is free on PS4. Why get PS4 when their 12 month subscription fee is $10 more than XBL (RRP from Sony $89.95 vs. $0 Pc and $79.95 NZ). Why get PS4 when it has weaker hardware
than XBOX ONE X. And dont tell me specs dont matter cause that is what PS4 fans have been bashing. their console being better specs than xbox one s/original and 360. Why would i want to associate with these sort of people who are so discriminate about xbox.
Microsoft in their terms acknowledge NZAustralian legal rights. Sony doesnt in their terms but microsoft does in their terms.

PC has far more games and far more sells and far more users than PS4. Why get a PS4 if its gonna cost more than $100. Why get a PS4 if it cant play 4k bluray disc movies. Why get a ps4 if it doesnt have an SSD. You meet great boys girls men women (well i
may not get along with the people on this forum who make up less than like 0.0000000001% of those on xbl. staying away from the sony degenerates that instigated the console wars. Why get a ps4 when sony isnt the largest software company in the world. Why go
PS when minecraft came out a year earlier on xbox than it did ps3. Ive even made some friends with some forum moderators too xd.

I'm quite sure you're living in some fantasy land.

Anyway, back on gold just to play Blops 1 on the xb1. Some exclusives would be great so we can only wait and see I guess.

I can heartily recommend getting an Android based handheld like the GPD XD to compliment the Switch if you are into gaming on the go.

There's something oddly satisfying about being able to carry the complete library of several console generations around with you.

Thanks Zen, I’ll keep that in mind. I’m not into gaming on the go, but one of my kids definitely is.
