That night, I’d lie awake in bed, my thoughts consumed by the adventures that awaited me. I imagined getting lost in a strange and mysterious forest, or spending hours exploring a dusty castle basement. Eventually, I’d succumb to sleep, dreaming of the games I’d play the next day."
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 agree, this game is every little kid's dream. Can't wait to get my hands on it and explore every nook and cranny of it's world.
I was hoping this article would get approved.
I agree with it. Profoundly.
This is the kind of fantasy sci-fi world that is usually reserved only for the fanciful imaginings of the realm of sci-fi novels and the highest grade of sci-fi movies.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this will be the highest-acclaimed RPG on any console in 2015, so long as they make the story as engrossing and wonderful as the world in which it's crafted.
I'm especially looking forward to some of the giant monster battles.
That giant worm-like beast in the ice area of the latest trailer is just BEGGING to be battled in my flying mech...
Xenoblade Chronicles X and FFXV may mark the return of the glorious days of JRPGs.
It's supposed to not feel real, hence the Fantasy portion. All that aside, the size and scale in this game look mind blowing. I remember watching the last trailer and just feeling amazed, I can't wait to play the game and just look at all the difference scenery (and jump off crazy heights if there is a way to survive). I also really liked the world felt alive and the party was just running through the landscape past huge monsters and the monsters didn't even attack unless provoked. It really felt like the world was a living place where as literally any other game anything bigger than a rabbit would attack you. Can't wait, this will be the RPG that holds me until FFXV and Persona 5.
This is certainly the one game that absolutely omits an aura of nostalgic fantasy that I grew up living from games.LLiterally the feeling of what next,which area will iI stumble across or colourful character will show up... linearity is non existent, you're on a journey. I miss new experiences like this. Persona is another great example, but the two big ones, kingdom hearts and final fantasy have their work cut out to recapture this feeling. To be fair, kingdom hearts as a franchise has done very little wrong so I'd hold that as high as xenoblade. Final fantasy is always polished and a joy to play, but I've minor concerns what I've stated above is still an area that's not 100% there for me.
