An extensive look at the good and bad of Monolith Soft's upcoming JRPG.
Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch 2 adds 60fps gameplay and up to 4K resolution through a $4.99 upgrade pack now available digitally.
Playing it right now! It is awesome! Good thing I held myself back from buying this last year. Now I can't wait for XC2 and XC3 to have the same enhancements and upgrade.
Honestly, it’s kind of bizarre how rough native Switch players had it with this game for years. Aside from the original Wii U release, Xenoblade has pretty much been a series that felt better on emulators than on the actual hardware, mainly because of the blurry image quality and unstable frame rates.
It’s good to finally see an official version of the game that doesn’t look terrible and apparently is stable.
This is exactly why hardware matters to a decent extent.
It effectively took a 900p@30fps, maxed it to 1080p, then used DLSS to upscale it 4x in resolution to render at 4K, while also doubling frame rate.
Nintendo has put eight different Switch games on sale, including Super Mario RPG, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Zelda: Link's Awakening, and more.
A Xenoblade Chronicles PC port has been listed by Microsoft as an officially supported Microsoft Game Assist title.
Hmmm interesting. Hopefully true, liking the slowly but surely partnership between the big 3. Just imagine all the xenoblade games officially on pc. I think mcsft going 3rd party but still making consoles fits them.
Xenoblade chronicles X is not there
Either removed or the picture shown was edited, but it is currently not there
I don't see this happening. Nintendo has said the "Only place to play a Nintendo game, will be on a Nintendo console!". Yes I know people are using emulators, but that isn't what Nintendo intended.
MAYBE, if Nintendo does decide to port X over, it's because it is an Xenoblade game that is stand alone.
X, is my favorite Xenoblade game in the Series, because of Skells" flying your Skell and battling with them feels great!
I was disappointed to see the graphical downgrade.
I'm still buying it, the gameplay is good enough.
I think it still looks really great.
Honestly I'm kind of disappointed with custom characterization.
I know it might sound weird, but shulk was such a definitive character, i wouldn't want the option of customization.
But it still might be cool. Either way day one for me.
I loved Xenoblade and have similar excitement and apprehensions as mentioned in the article and in the comments- The characters in Xenoblade were fantastic IMO - they all brought personality and depth to the story and gameplay
I hope we get it early 2015 but I m afraid it will be late 2015
Well written article
I have a feeling this will be one of the best RPGs ever!
The main reason why we bought a Wii U was for this game. Can't wait to get it when it comes out.
