微软确认XboxOneX将无视分辨率自动下载4K材质包

　　微软在2017年E3游戏发布会上正式公开了性能强化版的XboxOne主机，这部命名为XboxOne X的主机将于今年11月7日发售，支持4K分辨率等一系列新功能，而且微软方面目前也已经确定有65款游戏已完成针对XboxOne X优化，今天得到消息，XboxOne X还将自动通过网络下载4K材质包。

　　微软方面的一位发言人几天在采访中透露，无论Xbox One X用户使用的电视采用何种级别的分辨率，Xbox One X都将会自动下载所对应游戏的4K材质包，而Xbox One和Xbox One S并不会自动下载。

　　考虑到4K分辨率的游戏下载容量巨大，举个例子采用4K分辨率的《极限竞速7》下载版容量达到了100GB，所以微软方面也将针对这一问题向开发者推出专门的工具。游戏开发商可以选择让玩家下载自己使用的语言文件，这样一系列举措可以减少下载文件的容量。

　　Xbox One X将于2017年11月7日正式上市，售价499美元。

We’ll also have a couple of throwbacks to the Xbox 360 era thanks to Backward Compatibility.

Grow Up

Living the life of a B.U.D. (Botanical Utility Droid) can be tough. Especially when your spaceship breaks into pieces and scatters across a planet filled with amazing plants and wondrous structures! As B.U.D., along with your friend P.O.D., you’ll traverse this open world and recover parts of your ship. Fly, climb, bounce, roll and complete challenges along the way in this wibbly wobbly fun adventure.

Runbow

A fast-paced party action game with a never before seen color mechanic. Up to nine players can race against each other locally or online as platforms and obstacles appear and disappear when the colored background changes. Go head-to-head in one of Runbow’s modes, including Arena, King of the Hill, ColourMaster, and The Bowhemoth.

Kane & Lynch 2

Play as two violent and disturbing criminals in the action shooter Kane & Lynch 2. Lynch, the psychopath, has his sanity on the edge at all times and Kane, the ex-mercenary, is disillusioned and desperate. Play as both in an epic single-player story driven campaign, or team up with a friend over Xbox Live.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game

Time for a swashbuckling adventure in LEGO form. Play as characters from the classic film series, each with their own personalities and abilities, and join your friends in co-op play! The wide-open seas are full of bricks for the plundering in LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game.

Phil Spencer：我绝不会放弃日本

　　Xbox One在日本的销售情况不佳，但是在接受Fami通访谈时Xbox负责人Phil Spencer保证他绝不会放弃日本，新主机Xbox One X也一定会在日本发售。

　　Spencer说，正如之前公布的，在绝大多数国家与地区Xbox One X将于11月7日发售，但是在某些特定的市场有可能会稍有延后，不过他们也会尽可能早地让Xbox One X在这些地方上市。

　　Spencer承认日本并不是Xbox品牌最大的市场，但是对他来说日本市场仍然十分重要，所以他当然想要在这里也发售Xbox One X。他认为日本拥有着十分有热情的玩家群体，并且保证他“绝不会放弃日本”。

　　在他看来，日本的游戏开发者也正在复兴，而Xbox方面也需要为日式游戏粉丝们提供更多的支持，他非常愿意听取大家的反馈。

Fable Fortune Released on Xbox Game Preview and Steam Early Access

   

Fable Fortune has flown the coop and is out now on Xbox One and PC!

Co-developers Flaming Fowl Studios and Mediatonic are dead chuffed to announce today that Fable Fortune is out now on Xbox One and Windows 10 Game Preview, and on Steam Early Access!

Fable Fortune takes pioneering card game mechanics and combines it with Fable’s most cherished moments. Choose from one of six Heroes each sporting diverse powers and cards, and set forth to crush your opponents under a hobbe-nailed boot in either classic PVP mode, or the fully integrated Co-op mode. Discover how the iconic Alignment mechanic can be used to shift heroes towards a good or evil path during play; transforming their powers, altering their card effects, and turning the tide of battle in one chicken-kicking hand.

“Fable Fortune has been real labour of love for the studio. We’ve built several card games and are huge fans of the genre. Our core goal with the design of Fable Fortune has been to create a game based around choice and consequence, with a deep level of strategy.” Said Founder of Mediatonic, Paul Croft, “We’re entering Early Access / Game Preview because we’re keen to grow and evolve the game with the community’s input. We’re aiming to become one of the best games in the genre.”







Fable Fortune is a project that has been dealt a few bad hands, however having picked up the torch from Lionhead, Flaming Fowl and Mediatonic have worked closely to keep the magic of Fable alive with this fast-paced and fun collectable card game.

Featuring timeless heroes, despicable villains, armies of bemused (and conveniently expendable) peasants, and some good old fashioned, family-friendly necromancy, Fable fans will not be disappointed.

“It’s fantastic to hear players say they have “returned to Albion” when they play.” Said Craig Oman, CEO of Flaming Fowl Studios, “Everything from the environments to the music to the characters, it just feels like home to us! This may not be an RPG but we feel like we have succeeded in making a true Fable game and we are really excited to see where we can take this during Early access and beyond.”

Fans can gain early access to Fable Fortune by picking up the Founder's pack for $14.99 Containing over $40 worth of ingame items including 20 packs of cards to open, the exclusive Flaming Fowl Trophy Card and the very rare (You might even say ‘Fabled’) Giant Egg card. There are plans to continue developing Fable Fortune for many years to come and to make it Free to Play later in 2017.

Purchasing the Founder’s Pack is the best way fans can support this development whilst also gaining some amazing rewards and the undying gratitude of the developers.

First Look at the Latest Xbox One Dashboard Update

   

Latest Xbox Update Releases to Insiders Starting Today

It’s an exciting day at Team Xbox as Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Ring will get a first look at the latest Xbox update. This release is the next major update for gaming on Xbox One and Windows 10 PC, and is designed to make the Xbox gaming experience more fun, personalized, and social than ever. We’ve heard feedback from our fans that they want the ability to customize Home the way they want. This new experience on Xbox One gives gamers more choice and delivers fun faster. Updates to Home, Guide and Community are available today, with updates to Avatars, Game Hubs, Profiles and more coming this fall. Windows 10 PCs will also receive updates to the Game bar and Gaming settings menu. Here’s a detailed look at some of the new features that will arrive for Xbox Insiders starting today and continuing throughout the next few months:

Customize Your Home: The first thing Insiders will notice is the new Home on Xbox One. This update is all about personalization; we’re putting the control in your hands, so that you can decide what to see when you turn on your console. The new look and feel is part of a design system called Microsoft Fluent Design; the look, feel, and movement of the dashboard has been updated to focus on speed, customization and expression—for you. Now, customize your Home screen to be uniquely yours, and view all the things you love at-a-glance. Have a favorite game or friend? Add them to Home! Select one, press the Menu button on your controller, and select “Add to Home.” This now creates an entire block of content that can be moved up or down—or removed altogether, should your interests or habits change. These blocks will evolve over time based on the things you like to do. For example, adding a game to your Home screen may pull in an Activity Feed post from the developer, show when your friends are playing that game online, suggest your next Achievement, and provide a quick shortcut to the Game Hub for that title. We’ll be adding additional types of content blocks in the coming months, so stay tuned for more. The team is always pushing to make the Xbox experience faster and faster. In this release, we’ve eliminated the wait between Home, Social, and My Games and Apps by consolidating them into one dashboard experience. No more splash screens means you get to fun even faster.



Effortless Guide Navigation: With this update, it’s faster than ever to switch between tabs in the guide so you can join friends, broadcast, switch between apps, and get back Home. New tab flyouts make it easier to see more content quickly, too. The new Guide layout quickly gets you to the stuff you care about, so you never miss a moment. It’s now even easier to switch between apps or get back to Home, and the new layout will enable you to quickly jump to different tabs using the left thumbstick, d-pad, or bumpers on your controller. Sign-in, Achievements, multiplayer (including parties, Looking for Group, and tournaments), People, Home and recent, messages, broadcasts and captures, and a new action center (including settings) each have their own tab in the new Guide.

A More Immersive Community: Staying connected with Friends and Clubs is now better than ever. The community section has an entirely new Activity Feed layout, showing more content at-a-glance. When looking at feed items in detail, they are presented in an immersive, full-screen view—sharing the experience just as it was captured. Reading comments is now much easier since the comment window can be expanded to fill the screen. You’ll now be able to skim the feed quickly or lean back on the couch and walk through it in detail – it’s entirely up to you. This makes it easier than ever to stay current with the games and friends you care about. Game Hubs, Profiles, and Clubs are also refreshed to make them more dynamic and engaging than ever before. We’re also making Improvements to Club discovery, to quickly display which Clubs you’re already a part of, and easily discover new Clubs to join. There will also be new titles that will be coming to Arena over the next few months, soon offering even more options for tournaments powered by Xbox Live.





Game Bar Gets Even Better: On Windows 10, we’re making it easier than ever to enable or disable Game Mode on a per-game basis by putting a switch directly in the Game bar. Mixer broadcasting with the Game bar will now give you more choices on the audio you broadcast; a new settings option will let you choose to broadcast game-only audio, or system-wide audio. We’ve also added a new Xbox Live Network Troubleshooting option to the Settings menu in Windows 10, which will help you track down connectivity issues and optimize your online multiplayer experience.

This is just the beginning of some major updates arriving for Xbox gamers later this year. We’ll be introducing plenty of new features in the coming months across Xbox One, Windows 10 PC, Mixer, and mobile devices designed to make your gaming experiences all about you. As always, we owe some big thanks for all the fan feedback we receive and review from gamers everywhere, as well as to the invaluable members of our Xbox Insider Program for all the feedback they provide regularly. We’ll be sharing more when the update releases to more fans later this year. The team has worked hard, and we hope you enjoy these latest updates to your Xbox One experience!
