2LOUD2OLD Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 does it play uhd blu-ray ? as that was key difference with the previous vs sony which was lost in wilderness... Yeswww.xbox.com/en-us/xbox-one-xI see Atmos mentioned too, though says Dolby 5.1 so not quite sure what to make of thatSent from my R7sf using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoggieHowser Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 One of the biggest omissions from the older consoles was the ability to do multi-screen gaming. I remember buying multiple copies of GT and Playstation 3s to play it in 3 screens. Just amazingly immersive. And for Forza 7 to really step up, it really needs to take advantage of motion simulators - like the NextLevel or Xbox http://www.nextlevelracing.com/products/next-level-racing-motion-platform-v3/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoggieHowser Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 the tech may be derived from PCs - but if developers optimise for it, you'd be amazed at what can be achieved if they just work at wringing the most out of the hardware - the Xbox 360 is an example. With PCs, developers get lazy and just leave the gamers to buy the next latest and greatest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauliD Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 There was an update to XBS that added a system level option to output to Dolby Atmos free for an AVR and a 30-day trial for a headset version of the software. With it being a trail I assume you have to buy it. I have activated it yet as there isn't anything I want to play on XBS at the moment. It's not clear what it does to 5.1 games but I'd like to experiment with it once there is a game I have to play on XBS out. Side note the Dolby Atmos demo app you can download will really test out your HDMI cable. I was using what I thought was a good cable but I kept getting audio drop outs during the forest demo. Funnily enough the $4 cable from Officeworks was flawless, but lets see for how long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPete9 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Sadly, the XBOX platform games are squarely aimed at the FPS kids. No Flight Sim! No Platform! We have the XBOX one and its ok,. but even forza 6 isn't exactly riveting. The next upgrade wont be until we get proper immersive VR - want to do rock climbing in my lounge room and wet myself from the fear of heights.
