Great, so despite both consoles having backwards compatibility, we are going to get a rush of re-releases instead of developers updating their games. The GTA V one is especially annoying as they refused for years to add PS4 Pro and Xbox One X support probably because it makes selling the game a 4th time easier than if Xbox One X owners were already running the game at 4K.
I do find that interesting because as bad as the Sony hack was, as I recall few if any accounts actually had fraudulent charges made against them. The data was collected and seemingly nothing was really done with it. Here people's payment methods have been used to buy Fortnite credit.
I'm fine with these as they are merely optional visual tweaks but compromising your vision for the sake of accessibility can have negative consequences too.
This is an attempt to stop the resale of unactivated keys that come bundled with consoles.
Of course a developer making a platform exclusive will downplay the advantages of the platform they're not supporting.
Just redeemed it, CDKeys is always great.
Games don't benefit from Ultra HD Blu-ray yet because Microsoft couldn't justifiably release games on the higher capacity discs that launch Xbox Ones cannot play. That's why Sony didn't bother implementing it though on the Pro, it added cost and normal PS4 users couldn't ever run games released on the format.
The newer discs would benefit games though, like Red Dead Redemption 2, Final Fantasy VII, and The Last of Us Part 2, which all use two 50GB Blu-r...
Isn't this what Don Mattrick got in trouble for 7 years ago?
They'd probably rather push ray tracing or other graphical improvements over 60fps.
Nice, I have a 65" LG E9 and a 55" C8, I love them both.
The LG C9 and E9 do 4K120 as do the new CX, GX, etc.
I expect the purely visual upgrade to not be significant for people coming from a PS4 Pro / Xbox One X as those machines really aren't very old, especially the X. From a launch PS4 / Xbox One though it'll be a big upgrade.
I saw them already and a lot of people are gonna be pissed by the direction it goes.
Microsoft has already said you won't need an SSD if you want to play Xbox One games on the Series X and Sony will probably do something similar for the PS5 with PS4 games. A 4TB PCIe 4.0 SSD will be quite expensive in 2020.
I'm not optimistic, just look at the related stories on N4G

It's good they fixed this but it would be nice if they had an option for the old setting available, that way people can take advantage of it with the next Xbox.
The licensing issue would only exist for selling new digital copies, physical discs are licensed for Playstation 2 format machines and nothing is stopping Sony from making the PS4 compatible with the PS2 Format. It's not like Sony went and contacted all publishers for PS1 and PS2 games when the PS3 launched.
I don't know how it's good news for me
Anyone with a brain knew that youtube comment was FUD given Sony and MS use the exact same suppliers so any "manufacturing issues" Sony was facing would be likely to also impact Microsoft. The heat issue if it exists will depend almost entirely on how good TSMC's new manufacturing process is, which presumably is pretty good based on the performance and TDP of the Xbox Series X and the latest Ryzen laptop CPUs.
I think the disc version will be $499 and the digital version will be $399.
