    Wow! This is significant news. So the Xbox One X is touted as the greatest thing and yet when game footage is shown, its from a PC? News sites could have a field day with this piece right here.

      This is really funny. So not running on the Xbox One X, huh?

       

       

      Not that it matters too much, since the shown “gameplay” looked very scripted.
