Microsoft at E3 2017: All about 4K gaming
By Robin-Leigh Chetty 12 June 2017 | Categories: newsLast night played host to a jam-packed Xbox E3 press briefing from Microsoft. The company kicked things off with the official reveal of the Xbox One X (no longer Project Scorpio). While the hardware got its time to shine, for us, the major takeaway was Microsoft's push into 4K gaming.
To that end, the company showcased a handful of titles where 4K gaming would form the core of the experience. These included exclusive titles like Forza Motorsport 7 and Super Lucky's Tale, but also touched on cross-platform games such as Assassin's Creed Origins and FIFA 18. As such, it will be interesting to see how these perform on the Xbox One X in 4K compared to 4K quality of Sony's PS4 Pro.
While we can't put the pair side by side just yet, we can take a look at some of the "True 4K" titles that Microsoft is bringing to the Xbox One X. To that end, check out some of the best trailers and gameplay walkthroughs that were revealed last night.
