You mean console gaming. PC gamers have had access to it for some time.

Regardless, they next two consoles will have a shot at it. Nothing wrong with that, even if most games won’t run that way.

i'll skip those 4k and 8k ..going for 16k !

We are not even ready for 4K 60fps and we are talking about 8K.
We need new physics environments in gaming and of course higher fps, >=60

This gen should have aimed no higher than 1440p for gaming. Next gen should concentrate on 4k. Even next gen might not see 4k across the board, let alone 8k.

Just because people have screens that can display it, doesn't mean it makes sense in the gaming scene.

And series x isn't ready exclusives yet either - I couldn't help myself.

4K, 8K all little buzzwords words - I'm happy if next gen can achieve that by any means possible. I don't need it to be native.

Nor should it be, why would 8k be a priority when there are far more important things to channel hardware power towards. This hyper obsession people have with resolution is silly and counter productive.

Some games still can't give a solid 60fps at 4k with high end graphics cards. Don't forget that 8k = 4k x 4 which requires a lot of power.

I'm barely on 4K gaming. I don't even own a 4K TV. Occasionaly I'll run a PC game at 4K if I can, but my monitor isn't even 4K.

Really? You mean to say graphics cards can't do 16 TIMES 1080p at 60-120 Hz with ease? What good are they?!

You will see a basic 8k game to prove a point these next gen are going to be 4K with higher frames and looking better.

4k is all I need in 2020. Maybe by 2025 8k will make sense, but by then I'm sure they'll be pushing 16k or some other resolution. I've got a 77 inch screen and I usually sit about six-seven feet from it. 8k would only make sense for me personally if I were to go up in screen size to 88 inches or more. At my screen size I would have to sit two feet from my screen to see any difference between 4k and 8k, and that's discounting the fact that there isn't even enough 4k HDR content on broadcast tv yet. Not enough sporting events or "regular" shows (non streaming service) in 4k. Where the heck is this 8k content supposed to come from? The tv tech is way out in front of what is actually available, or will actually be available, in the coming years.

I'm definitely looking forward to 4k 60-120fps from the new consoles. I'm good with that.

8K is pointless on any set smaller than like 55" anyways.. unless you are sitting like 1 foot from the TV.

Neither is regular tv & cable. Cable tv resolution image is no higher than 1080i & some streaming apps are no more than 4k. The only place to see some 8k visuals would be YouTube which are mostly demos to show what 8k is supposed to look like. No matter how much money one can spend at this point & time 8k tv's are a waste of money.

Ya think? Gee I wonder how long did that take to come to your mind.. smh. There is not enough 4k content, yet they are looking at 8k. If you want to play games at 8k now you need a PC, even then good luck getting good frame rates with current and next gen games. Then if you want 8k video there are youtube demos lol. 8k TVs need to come to down to 4k prices, do the companies not want to sell 8k tvs? seems that way.

I hate all the talk of 8k we can’t even get 4K right half the time and who has an 8k tv? It’s just gonna be a useless selling point publishers will throw on a box to make fanboys wet themselves in excitement just like 4K at the beginning of this gen.

In all honesty, without any stupid comments here, I really don't need 8K resolution. For the size of TV and living room that I've got, 4K is plenty good enough for me for the foreseeable future. Sitting 11 feet away from it across the living room, I honestly cant tell the difference between 1080p and 4K. It's only when I get closer that it matters. So maybe to the video junkie who's got to have the biggest and best it matters, but to John Q Public, 8K is just a waste of money and a waste of consumer goods (since you'll have to get rid of your 4K set that's got nothing wrong with it.) I agree here. Performance > resolution right now. Too many games this gen and last have worried about pushing that resolution past acceptable performance dips. Let's get the games to a silky smooth 60fps first and then worry about what comes after 4K.

Yeah 8k is pretty freakin ridiculous. I'm just now starting to think we're ready for 4k. VRS and foveated rendering are also little helpers I hope are broadly integrated soon.

This exact same argument comes out every generation when higher resolution is in play.

Armchair delevopers of N4G think otherwise 😉

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau

Wuchang is great. Nine Sols didn’t have a physical copy so I never played it but I’ve heard good things so I will check it out. I stopped playing sports games many years ago when before the card dlc’s or whatever they’re called.

Last comment… ):

Great month for others, but not me. Hate soccer and soulslikes. Maybe Nine Sols is good.

🫡 it was fun while it lasted, N4G.

FC26!
