Supersampling for games on 1080p display on the XBOX are using the 4K or any enhanced assets. Xbox 360 games do not have such assets. Now, what they have said is depending on the Xbox 360 game you will see games run smoother and better than the original Xbox 360 game. Of course BC games will load faster. On the visuals since the XBOX has greatly improved it's texture filtering (now 16x anisotropic at the system level) it will affect XBOX 360 games as well.
@carmelo43 different team of engineers with different requirements to fulfill under Mattrick. The newer consoles: Xbox S and X are built by Panay's team. That is the same engineering group that develops the Surface devices. The original Xbox One was built around Mattrick's fear of repeating the issues of the original Xbox 360. Other designs were done and down voted by him.
Well I guess Sony must have some crappy engineers than too. Over the years they have had mu...
Code for most games is not sloppy at all. PC's by their openness is the problem. Take a 1,0000 gaming rigs and there will be a 1,0000 different configurations. Take a 1,0000 different Xbox One S consoles and you will probably find there is 1 configuration..
PC Developers have to optimize against an impossible list of variables:
* Different CPU's (even different generations of the same CPU)
* Different motherboards
* Different BIOS set...
@SierraGuy OK, one more time reminding people of why the CPU and GPU on the X is not setup to work the same way as a PCs. So that same slowdown you would get more easily on a PC or even the base model will not happen on the X. Much of that demand used on the CPU when rendering and calculating all the pages that a PC is doing has been removed and placed directly on the silicon by integrated DirectX into the GPU portion of the APU itself. PC's have to deal with software itself when de...
What? It will be as long or longer than the Pro is on the market. It is a lot closer to the power of what we will see in any next gen. Further, it seems to be designed to be inline to Microsoft's future console plans of not being all about generations that break things. The X I think can easily continue to be sold as the base unit still providing gaming for the next gen content after release of Microsoft's next console. The Pro will not be able to do this. I suspect because of certai...
I don't care what Cerny and Andrew House said in this situation. They are full of BS sometimes. This was pure and simple move for better VR. They just decided we better make sure it has other selling points as well Neither the Pro or even the X, which is much closer to higher end PC graphic capabilities, are going stop some mass migration to the PC (which by the way isn't happening in the first place.) Seriously, 60+ million PS4 sold and you actually believe they are worried about p...
Because he said so. And what Father__Merrin says goes. "So let it be written, so let it be done!" Now go to your room for disrespecting the business genius that he is.
@TheColbertinator The article is not about Xbox issues. It is about optimization of PC CPUs'. Of which there dozens of CPU levels and hundreds of combinations those optimizations must take into consideration. Different i5 generations have different changes in how well they run. The same with i3, i7 and AMD chips. Different hard drive, memory types, and 100's of different drivers, different anti-virus running all that may cause issues that people all attribute to the CPU. But, really...
@Silly gameAr He may be hard core Xbox fan. I don't know him, lets assume it is true. But, he is in an article commenting about the Xbox console he favors. What is your excuse lurking around an article of a console you currently don't care about? Why is so important for you to complain about others excited about the device. You just sound extra salty.
And yes there are first party games, maybe not the ones you want but they are there. Sure, we would all like more fi...
What do casuals have to do with the X. Like the PS4 Pro neither consoles were designed for them.
Then you say throw in a $150 Elite controller. How does that make it better for casuals? Casuals don't care about the Elite controllers. And for a casual gamer that bought and X or Pro 1TB is plenty. Casual gamer's attachment rate for purchases runs about 2-3 games per year or on average 10 games total over the lifetime of their ownership.
Yeah how is the working out the Switch with digital. Hint, you have several games that already require more space to fully install than the actual storage Nintendo provides internally in the Switch. Forcing people to immediately add space to their Switch. In perspective that would be like a game on a PS4 or Xbox requiring more than 500GB to install and forcing us to go out a buy a larger external right way. I think relative to what Switch is doing even in the worst scenario I could install ...
@CyrusLemont Sorry, if you think a 4 year old CPU using standard GDDR5 memory is expensive at $499 the parts you named are going to astronomical. It is like you took all the cutting edge, something still not available and just added to the list without thinking. Although, I like your list of potential parts for the next console they are not going to be feasibly possible. You seem to think that items that in some cases that are currently more than a console itself (e.g. the CPU) they will d...
@darthv72 unlike PS line the Xbox line is directly integrated into all things Windows. Separating it out would not be as beneficial. Subsidiary's like Sony's SIE is a LLC has certain legal differences then a division like Xbox under Gaming division does not have. In fact, separating a company as subsidiary actually doesn't alleviate financial burden. A majority stake owner may be responsible to lenders of a subsidiary (e.g. Sony still would most likely still have to pay the SIE...
I can guarantee that no one has died from using their Xbox or PS4. Thousands have died using an iPhone to text and talk while driving or have caused the death of others. Hundreds of oblivious screen zombies have walked into traffic and have been killed or seriously maimed thanks to the iPhone. I can guarantee more marriages/relationships have been destroyed by things found on an iPhone than girlfriends mad at their boyfriend for playing too much COD. I can guarantee more people using iPhones ...
I think your are Western society exaggerating. Billions of people would like to have clean water. Billions of people would like to not have to burn dung/trash for heat. Billions of people would like to have regular diet. Billions of people don't give a F about the iPhone X or actually any phone. Only the elitist sheeple believe an iPhone is the sustenance of life. Billions of real people have real world life or death issues to deal with.
@Summons75 Where are you getting the Pro for $300. Please provide me a link. Heck, provide me a link for it at $350 (not a flash sale or eBay ultra used item either, an actual sale,) Anybody going to pick up the challenge and protect Summos75 PS4 fanboy honor?
ZeniMax is still suing Oculus and until that is settled ( ZeniMax and Facebook/Oculus agree to the settlement and the money is actually paid to ZeniMax) I doubt they will be supporting the Oculus headset. But, as you know that hasn't stopped other games on Steam from being hacked and made available for Oculus.
@nyxus Me too. In fact I have been giving out my land line number (yes still have a land line, digital though) to most people nowadays. I hate having to carry a phone with me and even more I am really hating on the people that can't seem to leave their phone lives at the door.
@neonridr My console is an extension of my self too (/s). Phones are just as optional in life too. Most people do not need them in their every moment of their lives. (there is no need to talk an...
Well if you remember correctly Bungie felt stifled. They wanted to do something completely different than Halo and Microsoft wanted them to focus on Halo. They worked out a deal and left Microsoft to create something brand new and unique. "To spread their wings" so to speak. So after all that whining what do those Bungie kids come up with? Destiny. Sorry but, Destiny is not different than Halo. It is Halo with a different coat of paint. It is definitely not something unique and dif...
Your so salty no wonder you don't like chips. But, it's OK for PS4 to market itself with the artery clogging, questionable meat of a Taco Bell burrito? Or drinking caramel colored sugar water from Pepsi to get a chance to win a Switch?
If you are worried about the price you could just keep buying those Walmart brand Dorito rip-offs, they really do (wink, wink) taste the same. Or is a Dorito beneath you and feel the need to pay $4 for a cup of dirty water at Sta...
