I just started playing RDR on my Xbox One X and it looks AMAZING!!!

[@robertsmalls2293]

Richi I do, and I play the game on the Xbox One X as well. It looks amazing, especially the guns. They used to be low resolution eyesores, but not anymore now the gunmetal glistens in the light, and there isn’t a single pixel visible. At least that’s been the primary difference I’ve noticed. That and the saturation in the grass and trees, and the performance.

I just finished Dead Space again after all this time, to get the achievement for beating it on the hardest difficulty. Damn I forgot what a great game it is! Really rips me apart worse than a necromorph knowing they won't make another. Now I'm off to play Dead Space 2 for the first time! Dead Space really is one of the best games out there, even to this day!

[@toomuchtoofast4533]

I have the Series X and still kept my One X. Microsoft is really doing things better this time around. It’s always a pleasure to see your older games look so good!

[@deanlessiter1846]

Mass effect trilogy In 4k would look amazing

[@gencoserpen1260]

4K without increased texture resolution is pointless. The only difference will be you’ll get sharper edges without the need for anti-aliasing. EA prefers the “games as a service” model now so they’ll never remaster it.

[@PATBATEMAN187]

🙏🏻

[@MrEditsCinema]

I have the PC version, it doesn't look that good at native 4k. Once you download textures mods it looks great. The x doesn't add new textures

They already did this to both left4dead games and Darksiders.

Also batman arkham origins and the far cry games and the saints row games too and GTA 4 and San Andreas.

[@AwakenUniverse]

I don't get why more developers don't release their older catalog more often. Don't developers have a higher res version of their games anyways...seeing that the equipment they work with is always much higher spec-they just tone it down for consoles not so much for PC...but yeah my guess is that there's not much money to be made by choosing this patch-up route...though it's obvious none of them have thrown the original master copy of their games away...it's just them seeing what suits them best.
