The 8K stills look amazing, the detail is incredible.

Don't talk to me about Jesus, that f*ck*ng snake oil salesman - he's been ruining his brand longer than Phil Spencer has been ruining Xbox. ⸮

Well said, it really is a case of the inmates running the asylum.
Every single article that reports anything even remotely positive about the Xbox brand (or Nintendo or Stadia or PC to a lesser extent) see's the same users that by their own admission have no interest in the platform, downvoting en masse and leaving negative comments, it happens every single day. It's clearly because they perceive positive news about any other brand as a ...

You're right, we don't care.

I think that normal, rational people don't take those guys too seriously, it's easy to see who the idiots are just by looking through their previous comments - human psychology is an area I'm fairly well qualified in so I understand why they do what they do, they can't help themselves - ...

You're welcome mate, It's not every game that works this way, but many do. It's easiest to see on PC where you have the option to display the FPS counter. Quite often games will shoot ...

***""2 decades"? MS has been making consoles for 15 years - and RRoD was like 12 years ago - NOT 2 decades"***
You're correcting Gangsta for being inaccurate with time periods whilst doing exactly the same yourself.
The original Xbox released in 2001, We are now almost in 2020. That's not 15 years, it's almost 20!
I'm glad to see Nintendo is doing well. After the horrendous sales of the Wii U, I'm happy to see the company bounce back and perform well again.
The video game industry would be a much worse place without Nintendo and it's creativity around.
@Septic
Typical, disagrees because of who you are, rather than what you said.
Pathetic.
@Synthetic
***"I'll never understand what's so hardware intensive about God of War's map screen"***
Map / Inventory screens make the fans ramp up because quite often the framerate limiter is not active on these screens, so the GPU goes into overdrive. It's why many games crash on map / inventory screens rather than in game.

***"It doesn't even claim to be "in engine" in this video, and you know good and well if it were real-time, in engine, gameplay, etc. they would have plastered it all over this video"***
Yes it does, it clearly says "in engine" in the video title hosted on the official channel.

Change the thermal paste on the APU mate.
I was having all kinds of issues after about 2 years - random shutdowns with the thermal warning on reboot, fan ramping up massively all the time but not actually getting rid of any heat out the back.
Took it apart and it turns out the thermal paste was dried up and not very well applied at the factory.
Replaced it with some Kryonaut Thermal Grizzly and now it's ...

Facebook are already creeping up in the standalone VR gaming headset space. They have subcontracted manufacture of their PCVR headset the Rift S to Lenovo and are concentrating much of their efforts on the Wireless, standalone Oculus Quest headset.
As of this week the device features native hand tracking. PC link via a fibre optic cab...

***"I’d much rather Sony or Microsoft purchase studios than Google"***
Of course you would, so would I - but we're viewing this through the rose tinted glasses of being owners of Sony and Microsoft consoles, it's not good news as far as we're concerned.
But for someone thats plays on Stadia, news that the company has acquired a new studio to add to it's portfolio will be seen as a step in the right directi...

@Damrock
***"I'd very much welcome PS5 doing a similar design, I'd take a quiet console over a one that good to look at"***
I took my PS4 Pro apart and replaced the stock thermal paste on the APU with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and it made it a LOT quieter. I found the factory applied thermal paste to be cheap, very dry and applied poorly - now the Pro's fans do not ramp up nearly half as often and never at full speed.
IGM (Whoever they are) clearly got it wrong.
***"Using stills from the Xbox Series X announcement trailer, the console is an estimated 31cm tall, with 16cm width and depth, give or take a couple of millimeters for margin of error.

Good news, I do enjoy a good Battle Royale game.
