During Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase, Remedy presented a new impressive in-engine trailer for CrossfireX’s upcoming campaign mode. And, according to DigitalFoundry, this trailer was rendered on the PC and not on Xbox Series X.
Alongside Halo Infinite’s single-player campaign video, the CrossfireX trailer was one of the best trailers from that event. And, similarly to Halo: Infinite’s demo, this trailer was not running on Microsoft’s upcoming console. Instead, this was PC footage (from a PC version that we don’t know when and if it will come out).
As DigitalFoundry’s Richard Leadbetter said:
“It’s 60fps on Xbox One X, I spoke to Remedy about this last night. This is rendering on PC, so it’s not Series X. But you know, if they are doing 60fps on Xbox One X, I kind of can’t wait to see what this is going to be on Series X”.
So there you have it everyone. The second most impressive in-engine trailer from Microsoft’s event was also running on the PC. Not only that, but we know that the STALKER 2 trailer was a target trailer, and that it did not represent the quality of the final game. Thus, the PC version may come close to that target trailer. Additionally, it’s still unknown whether the Xbox Series X version will be as good as the PC version.
Lastly, it’s worth noting that the only platform that will be able to run The Medium with 60fps will be the PC. Bloober Team has announced that The Medium will run in 4K/30fps on Xbox Series X for “cinematic” purposes. So, let’s hope that the team won’t lock the framerate on the PC. However, and since this is an Unreal Engine 4 game, PC gamers will be able to unlock it via its .INI configuration file.

so i am confused is this game free to play or not?
Multiplayer is, single-player is a separate paid game.
I can see the future angle. Make controversy. Say it was on PC. Then release improved graphics and say it’s xbox one x. So easy and basic to see.
You mean Xbox Series X, right?
Coz PC version is targeted to be the better version than the One X. See Gears 5.
I mean, you have your created console ? But you dont use it to showcase it ??
Covid
ahhaahha man
What they need to do is stop using cgi or targeted trailers, we still don’t know what the game will look like and that is a huge problem
Actually, there was open multiplayer beta so you can see for yourself plenty of gameplays on youtube. It does look like another COD/BF generic clone. Standalone multiplayers from singleplayers aren’t much different, most plausibly different HUD and that’s all.
I saw the trailer in full HD and 60fps, there was framerate inconsistencies between the cutscenes and the gameplay footage suggesting we could be looking at pre-rendered cinematics, so nothing impressive about it
“..Undead Labs has announced that The Medium..”
Undead Labs(State of Decay)has nothing to do with The Medium(Bloober Team). 😀
yeah, obvious typo. Fixed.
If it was running on the PC then it will release for it a year or so after the Xbox release…just the single player though. Can’t say the same about the multiplayer bit.
When you dont have exciting news, do not create click bait articles filled sensational non sense. We are in the middle of f*king pandemic and people are working from home. That means, not everyone has access to dev kits or final hardware. If they are advertising Xbox, that means it is rendering at Xbox target visual settings. There is no need for sensationalism.
Stupid excuse
The did it before pandemic.
Sony had no problems running actual gameplay off ps5 a month ago, so…….
You’re one of those types always making excuses, willing to eat the crap people pile down your persistently open throat. Microsoft showed nothing. Nothing. Their first party titles are a long way from release and not a single one outside Halo had gameplay, nor did much else at that so called conference. All trailers, not even in engine, apart from Forza. But good luck with all that. Gamepass, xcloud….fantastic developments for gamers, and great for the consumers. But stop calling a pile of crap a pile of gold already. Excuses are for people who can never seem to get the job done.
Sony employment standards are different from Msft’s. You cant equate Last of Us devs getting crushed by unpaid OT vs 343 ‘s progressive workspace. Msft actually cares about its employees.
Regardless of PC vs Xbox, there is no significant point to show case a game running on the Xbox machine when weighted against Covid risk. Since when it comes to gameplay, PC set to visual settings of Xbox will be indistinguishable. When it comes to performance, it is pointless since it is not a finished built. So there is no point to b*tch unless you are a dumb brainless useful idiot.

It’s so obvious you know nothing about what you’re talking about lol. Nice try pulling sh*t out of your a*s though, back to your keyboard to come up with something else lol.
More excuses from the loser brigade. Typical for this type, lol.
I must have missed the impressive bit.
We know. Tell us something about the Xbox console next gen showcase we don’t know already.
Hey xbots, have another L ????
Why hasn’t Aaron Greenberg been fired already? Every single time that guy opens his mouth, nothing but lies and diarrhea come out. How many big events is Microsoft’s gaming division going to fumble before they make some changes? Inexcusable.
Yeah, after all the damn good playstation exclusives this year. Good luck selling me on videos for your xbox that sure enough are actually pc……….. idiots

If you advertise gameplay Greenberg then demonstrate it only on the relevant hardware. Not perhaps on a 2080TI that would help would it not. At this juncture this title might as well be “free to pray” cause the Series X is gonna get it’s clock cleaned by the PS5 if this is any indication.
Why does Microsoft seem almost afraid to actually show the console’s performance?
Are they worried that the power difference might not be as evident as Phil claimed last month?
