Forza Horizon 4 on Xbox One X Cannot Run in 4K at 60fps: Microsoft

Forza Horizon 4 on Xbox One X Cannot Run in 4K at 60fps: Microsoft
During the Microsoft Xbox E3 2018 event, the company showed off Forza Horizon 4. It's the latest in the long-running open-world racing series and it's the first game to be set in Britain. Forza Horizon 4's release date is October 2 for the Xbox One family of consoles and Windows 10 PC. With the game being playable at E3, Microsoft put up a substantial amount of information pertaining to the game such as its modes and how the Seasons feature works. It also snuck in the game's frame rate and resolution for the Xbox One X - Microsoft's most powerful console ever. Suffice to say, if you were expecting an improvement over last year's Forza Horizon 3 with 4K gameplay at 60fps, think again.
"Xbox One X players will have the option to play the game in native 4K at 30fps, or play in 60fps at a lower resolution," writes Xbox Wire Editor Mike Nelson. He didn't specify what this "lower resolution" is though if we were to hazard a guess, it would be 1080p.
Developers have struggled to hit 4K 60fps performance in most games this generation on iterative consoles, be it the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. One high profile casualty was Destiny 2 which ended up being 30fps on both PS4 and Xbox One X at 4K due to CPU limitations. It makes us wonder how the next Xbox could pan out and if frame rate becomes a bigger priority for developers and console makers going forward.
For now though, you'd have to be content making the compromise between 4K at 30fps in Forza Horizon 4 or 60fps at a lower resolution.

Hotstar Announces On Air with AIB Season 3 Release Date in New Trailer

Hotstar  has announced the release date for On Air with AIB season 3 in a new trailer: it’s out September 24. The news comedy show is hosted by the  All India Bakchod  sketch quartet of Tanmay Bhat, Gursimran Khamba, Rohan Joshi, and Ashish Shakya. As before, the show will release new episodes every week, though it’s unclear how many there will be given the shifting nature of the series in past years. After trying out a dual-language approach with the first season in 2015 – Bhat and Khamba in Hindi, and Joshi and Shakya in English – where two episodes tackling the same topics were released each week for a total of 20 episodes, On Air with AIB moved to a new format with its second season in 2017, releasing three episodes a week. Season 2 had 40 episodes in total. While one main episode, usually about 20 minutes in length and released every Monday, discussed topical news and dove into issues it deemed prevalent (the segment was called ‘Deep Dive’), a second shorter ep...

Flipkart-Walmart Deal Announcement Sees the US Retailer's Shares Slide

Flipkart-Walmart Deal Announcement Sees the US Retailer's Shares Slide Walmart  said on Wednesday it will  pay $16 billion (roughly Rs. 1.07 lakh crores) for a roughly 77 percent stake in Indian e-commerce firm  Flipkart , the US retailer's largest-ever deal as it competes with  Amazon.com  in an important growth market. Shares of Walmart fell 3 percent. The company warned it expects the deal to reduce fiscal 2019 earnings by 25-30 cents per share if it closes in the second quarter. It also expects Indian investments to shave 60 cents per share from earnings in fiscal 2020.

Amazon holds about 27 percent of India's burgeoning e-commerce market, according to Euromonitor, where Walmart only operates 21 cash-and-carry wholesale stores in the country that sell to businesses. The deal probably will not do much to change market s...
