I sure hope so , heck I would buy a X720 just to play AW2.

Bolts5360d ago

I would buy a X720 just play to Angry Birds. This gen is starting to look like crap. When cell phones have as much memory as your counter top gaming machine it's time to move on.

SilleGamer5360d ago (Edited 5360d ago )

Looking at titles such as Battlefield 3 running on PCs really drives home the idea that current console tech is painfully outdated at this stage.

Looks like we won't have long to wait for the next-gen to begin - thankfully! :)

da_2pacalypse5360d ago (Edited 5360d ago )

Looks good

fluffydelusions5360d ago

I would too but it's too bad the majority of xbox owners don't feel the same way since the original didn't sell very well.

da_2pacalypse5360d ago

What do you expect from an exclusive sp game that was not even marketed well and released in the same week as Red Dead Redemption? even then, the game still sold pretty well for an exclusive. Over 1.5 million sold, hell that's just about as good as what most multiplatform games sell.

GusBricker5360d ago (Edited 5360d ago )

It's possible that gears 4, halo 5, fable 4 and the next alan wake could be launch titles for the neXtBox.

Wow.

SilleGamer5360d ago

@GusBricker

That would be one heck of a lineup!

Wikkid6665360d ago

Never would happen... they would never put Gears up against Halo.

Kran5360d ago

Well when its launch titles, they might.

Its like LBP and Uncharted.

Both are launch titles for Vita I think.

Wikkid6665360d ago

@Kran

1st Sony and MS are two very different companies.

2nd Comparing LBP and Uncharted to Gears and Halo is just crazy. LBP is a totally different game than Uncharted. Where Gears and Halo are both shooters.

3rd MS doesn't have the 1st party titles to throw them all into a launch. It is more likely be a 1,2 punch. Launch with Halo and then Gears the following fall.

whitezagetsu715360d ago

wonder how the 720s going to look

RevXM5360d ago (Edited 5360d ago )

Yeah me too, not that I really care how the box looks like.

I mean It doesnt have to like like anything special if the design works and doesnt have any major faults.
But a sleek look wont hurt. :D

Im more interested in what they put inside, that it works and the UI and features. :P

And sweet games, Hopefully Ms will pull themselfes together and produce some solid titles on their next platform. Just cant to to it like they do to 360 now IMO. 2-3 exclusives a year? (apart from arcade and kinect games)

Talking about features...
MS Y U NO let me copy media/content from USB drive to HDD? seriously its dumb... (Insert *Y U NO MEME* here)

e-p-ayeaH5360d ago

If this time its an open world game like Remedy promised back then ill be tempted to get the new xbox.

JellyJelly5360d ago

I actually think that the semi-open world approach fit Alan Wake very well.

e-p-ayeaH5360d ago

yes but an open world survival horror kinda game is something ive never experienced before.

JellyJelly5360d ago

Me neither. Could be really cool but I'm thinking it could also hurt the narrative.

Baddo_Ekkusuchi5360d ago

loved the concept of the first one but havent really had the time to finish it. a 2nd one would be nice

Alan Wake 2's Upgraded PSSR Delivers A Vast Improvement

DF: "Alan Wake 2 is one of our games of the generation - a proper technical showcase - but with the arrival of Sony's upgraded PSSR upscaler, it's also a key proving ground for the capabilities of the revised technology. In its 60fps performance mode, the game's complex foliage, dense geometry and demanding lighting are paired with an internal 864p resolution, upscaled to 4K. It's a challenge that the original PSSR couldn't handle, sometimes comparing unfavourably with the original FSR2. However, the upgraded PSSR is a revelation by comparison."

I've already completed this game and everything else there is to do in it sadly, so I have no need to go back and enjoy the added enhancements that the new PSSR brings to this game. But I definitely want to go back and check out Control as I still haven't finished up all the DLC for that yet.

Ashunderfire8678d ago

O definitely do Control is a longer game than Alan Wake 2! Plus there is an Alan Wake tie in with Control, plus you face off against a scary boss! That guy was hard asf man.

Jesse Faden the main character, has so many upgrades to her movesets, and object of power gun. Playing this game now to prepare for Control Resonant.

Cacabunga78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

It’s a terrible and boring game.
No way I will ever go back to it . I really do not like Remedy’s touch

Kornholic78d ago

Sadly? You mean you can't replay a game just for the fun of it?

Neonridr78d ago

I've played through the game numerous times. It was my favorite game of 2023. I have so many other games to play. Could I go back and play it for a few minutes to appreciate some extra clarity in the distance? Sure. Would I rather play a game I haven't finished or played yet and enjoy the PSSR updates brought to those titles instead? Yes.

isarai_lee78d ago

I mean im kinda with Neonridr on this, like when i game is so good you get everything you can out of it, a slightly shaper image is cool but not worth the hassle of install/update etc

andy8578d ago (Edited 78d ago )

It's mad they can take a 864p image and make it close to a 4K image. This tech is gonna do so much for console gaming

fr0sty78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

the crazier part is, sometimes enabling this kind of AI upscaling tech actually produces a BETTER image than natively rendering at 4K (and to be clear, I'm not talking about DLSS5's AI slop that takes creativity away from the game developers).

isarai_lee78d ago

That's just outright not true

andy8578d ago

Dunno why you're getting downvotes there is actually instances of this happening. Stellar Blade being one of them. DF reported the PSSR mode looks better than the native 4K mode. Im assuming its PSSR from 1440p or higher. So imagine with the 2.0 update

__y2jb78d ago

Strange that the other story on the frontpage with AI upscaling involved is receiving a hugely negative response in the comments but a Playstation AI upscaler story...well that's just great!

isarai_lee78d ago

No it's still bad, just not nearly as egregious, but there's definitely a sizeable (and growing) group of gamers who dislike any TAA/DLSS/AI upscale in general, myself included. Every time there's some update to one of these upscaling methods I roll my eyes because only when we improve from the issues can we address the issues, but when talking outside of an improvement or update suddenly there's no issues and we're The crazy ones for criticizing AI upscaling

andy8578d ago

That's because one is changing the art (characters faces) and one is making things look sharper. Isnt because it's PlayStation.

CONTROL Ultimate Edition and Alan Wake 2 will support new PSSR

CONTROL Ultimate Edition and Alan Wake 2 will support new PSSR.

This more advanced version of PSSR will soon be available to all PlayStation 5 Pro owners, bringing noticeable improvements in image stability clarity of motion.

Explore the Oldest House and Bright Falls with a new level of visual fidelity.

mkis00784d ago

Such a weird post by them. Apparently they just mean the system wide toggle. Which is perfectly fine. This is based off a post they made after this post.

Eonjay83d ago

Not sure what's weird about that. The update being system wide is basically free marketing for any game using the tech. I assume they already have access to the update and are happy with the results.

mkis00783d ago

Its Just the wording, as they didnt have to do any work for it to be supported.

jznrpg83d ago

Why is it weird for a dev to let people know their game runs better now? If they didn’t mention it that would be weird

mkis00783d ago

I just mean they worded it like they did a custom thing...which they could do by tweaking base resolution if the upgraded pssr allows it with no image drawbacks. I'd be down for that.
