Microsoft has lied, the XBOX ONE X, which is what Project Scropio will be called commercially, will not move games in real 4K, they are a crude upgrade to 4K, since the hardware prevents them from being real and the price of this toaster will be € 499.

Well, the day has come and it is confirmed, Microsoft's Project Scropio, whose official name is XBOX ONE X, is more than obsolete before it comes out and 4K games yes, but scaled, no real 4K. We already warned the other day that it seemed impossible, no matter how hard they tried with graphics based on Polaris and a processor based on Jaguar to be able to move games in 4K, when currently high-end processors from AMD and Intel and at least an NVIDIA Titan Pascal are required .

AMD RX 480/580 graphics cards are unable to move games to 4K, when we talk about games, we talk about Triple A, high-end games, like The Witcher or Ashes of the Singularity. From Microsoft they have sold that their console, with 6TFLPS of power, an eight-core Jaguar processor and 12GB GDDR5, divided into 3GB for the processor and 9GB for the graphics, was going to be able, which given the presentation is completely absurd and will not be able to not a joke. Everything remains a farce and is that not even Forza Motorsport 7, a game whose landscape is a static frame, could move to 4K @ 60fps.

AMD HARDWARE CANNOT WITH THE 4K @ 60FPS THAT MICROSOFT INTENDED IN THE PROJECT SCORPIO

We must understand that AMD has already said that 4K @ 60fps with its Vega graphics it will be possible, when they come out, but the XBOX ONE X is based on Polaris hardware, that no matter how much you tighten and how much you perfect, it gives for what it gives , you cannot ask components for something that is impossible for them to give you. If you remove all the filters and textures, yes, but for that we already have Minecraft, right? Not even if you repeat a lie, it will be true and Phil Spencer has repeated several times that they are 'real 4K', but and in Forza he has said that they were 'real 4K and 60fps', which is a lie clearly, that quickly began to spread everywhere.

About the games, relevant we have only seen the Assassin's Creed and the Metro, the next two installments of the games. We have seen what seemed like a starting piece and it has caught our attention that despite the fact that the coats of arms were moving ostensibly, the branches of the palm trees barely moved. At one point, step on an awning. Leaving aside that the fabric would have to break, if you step on a fabric, it should sag downwards, because the fabric has remained rigid, these are the details that make the difference in terms of loads, these details are very heavy and people It does not value them, for that reason they are not contemplated, thus the load is lightened. This is a common practice in the development of games for toasters, to load textures, landscape movements and small things that are not usually noticed by the general public, to make the game lighter and that it can be loaded well.

It has come to our attention that the vast majority of games for XBOX ONE X, shown were with comic-type graphics and with little detail. A copy of Overwatch has been shown, called The Darwin Project, a game traced to Overwatch, which is a copy of Team Fortress 2, come on, originality is conspicuous by its absence. The great beneficiary of 4K is Minecraft and is that this block game, which is characterized by not having a graphic quality from another world, will also be on the console and will allow the game to be played at 4K, something fundamental for the title, which means a static jump, since playing Minecraft in 4K is useless.

What is clear is that Microsoft has tried to exhibit a lie with XBOX ONE X, such as 4K. Yes, the menus will be at 4K, the videos will be at 4K, the Blu-ray will play them at 4K and the games, it will launch them at 4K, but previously it will scale from 2K in some titles and in heavier titles it will from 1080p, because the hardware that Microsoft has introduced in the console does not give for more, no matter how much Microsoft tries to sell the milonga that its console runs real 4K.

We must emphasize that 4K right now is a huge bullshit for gaming. On PC, the vast majority play at 1080p, because 4K hardware is expensive, a 1080 Ti from NVIDIA is around € 800 and a 4K monitor is around € 400, so it is not interesting, it will go down. 1080p resolutions are more than enough for current gaming, what's more, if some games are too heavy, due to poor optimization, games developed entirely to be players in 4K, it can be crazy and weigh 400GB of the game.

The auction is the price of the console € 500 for obsolete hardware, it is the most absurd of all. You can really buy a good gaming equipment to play for that price or a little more. Microsoft's obsession with 4K is absurd and does not contribute at all, what's more, I think it is counterproductive, since they will not sell consoles for that price, which is absurdly high. Honestly, XBOX ONE X seems like a toaster to me, now more than ever, overrated and expensive and that will clearly be a disappointment, because the 4K they promise will not be real and after three months of play the console will heat up like a beast, as soon as it takes a little dust.

They have said that it is the most compact console that they have developed, this is a problem, because the consoles lack a good flow of air, causing them to heat up. The eight-core processors tend to get hot and the turbine-type heatsink with the copper cover that they have installed on top of the GPU and CPU, is not enough to dissipate correctly, which will cause temperature problems. We could see the red lights again by temperature, since when compressing it and stuffing it in less space, the passive currents that will be given will be lower and harmful to the equipment, becoming an oven.

The reality is that consoles do not make the slightest sense. Even if you don't know anything about hardware, buying a computer gives you more possibilities and a lot more outlets. Consoles are increasingly more limited computers than consoles, since games must also be installed to improve loading times, which even so, sometimes are cloth and the price is increasingly higher, in addition to other problems, such as high temperatures, which in PC, with good heatsinks and a couple or three of fans, no longer occurs.

Everything can be summarized in obsolete hardware that will not move real 4K games or by chance, the price of € 500, which is a true savagery and a series of games with comic-style graphics, stiff graphics and Minecraft, which denotes that it is a console intended for children, not a more adult audience. Nothing new under the sun, as it is an overvalued, ridiculously high-priced piece of useless junk hitting the market on November 7.
