CCC Says: "The story of the Xeno series of RPGs is a weird one. It all started with Xenogears, an interesting little cult classic title by Squaresoft that released for the PS1. The game wasn’t originally going to come to America because of its heavy religious undertones, but it made news by finally being released here after a multiple year wait. Unfortunately, the end of Xenogears was rushed and while the creator planned to do an epic multi video game series, Squaresoft was less enthusiastic. Eventually, he went to monolith soft and made Xenosaga, a series of 3 games that are connected with each other, and are loosely connected to Xenogears."
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!
The only thing that bothers me about this game is the presence of a mute main protagonist. If the game it's going to have a huge story, I'm worried about how this character could interact with the others and participate in all events. Of course, we have many examples of games with mute characters that worked flawlessly, Chrono Trigger is the biggest example, its main character didn't talk and the story was great. And Monolith workers have a lot of experience and they have said they want to make something much better than Xenoblade, so for now I'm not that worried.
Also, there's no downgrade and the characters presented could be cool. Elma reminds me of Fiora and the woman with the Monado clip seems to be like Melia. I'm only making those comparisons because not many people seem to like them, especially because of the faces and the fact that don't look so appealing like the original Xenoblade cast was.
I can't wait and I really hope we can get the game early in 2015.
Ummmm, Takahashi Tetsuya did not go to Monolith Soft he and Sugiura Hirohide created the company with the backing of Namco.
And to Xenosaga and Xenoblade Chronicels, while they are all part of the Xeno series, they do not directly relate to each other. As they are more of spiritual successors for each installment than true sequels to each Xeno game(s).
Not to mention the fact Xenoblade Chronicles is not really even a spiritual sequel per-say as it almost had a different name, that would of been not included in the Xeno series of games.
I hate when JRPG to become WRPG-wannabe. J-RPG should have stayed away from character customization, choice-driven story (at least they should have the original story), etc.
I can't imagine if some of us played female Cloud, or choosing Aerith to live rather than to die...
Looks awesome.
Game looks great and all, but he really didn't do very much research. A lot of that stuff in the preview is him making inferences and it seems like he misunderstood a lot of what was in the treehouse demo. Oh, well.
