The Xbox Series X|S thread

[R a g h u]

I played Quake 3 Arena demo from a CD that was filled with freeware that we get when we buy Computers@home magazine. That’s in 2000 I think. Unreal Tournament demo was included in the next months edition. Shadow man, SWAT were included too.

 

I would buy Quake or UT eyes closed just for nostalgia.

 

Edit: For console. Not a PC gamer.

Hades is soooo good. 

The presentation is just top class. The voice acting is just sublime. 

Is it very difficult to play like Dark Souls?

Hades is not that hard. I beat the first boss in about an hour of gameplay. 

Unlike returnal, there is a lot of stuff that carries over. There are 2 lives essentially which can be increased to 3 plus permanent health buffs, damage boosts, weapon upgrades, etc. 

 

First boss is a pushover, especially since you also get to bang her in your room later

Hope interest is the only thing that's piqued

not very convincing. Concern about viability after 2-3 years still remains 

Xbox one X n PS4 pro are still viable after almost 4 years of launch .

Completely wrong comparison 

 

x1x and ps4 pro were the high powered consoles with extra horsepower than base consoles 

 

meanwhile xss is lagging behind right out of the gate. It’s hit or miss

 

Console will remain viable because the overall CPU and GPU are decent if somewhat lacking. But the resolution and graphical fidelity will start taking bigger hits.

 

Expecting 720p max res with lower settings later in the cycle.

just watching the video, here’s the biggest disaster with this console 

 

The chip that handles I/O is from Xbox One. That’s right 

 

imagine using parts from a 2013 console in 2021

 

Xbox one was weak and now it’s parts are being used in XSS that makes XSS unviable for next gen

 

also, 720p after 2-3 years  every TV and monitor in India is 1080p or more right now

 

in 2-3 years, you’ll get 4k TV super cheap 

 

720p has no place in this world now, unless you play on phones 

 

 

 

It has same I/O as Series X.

 

Dude your trolling quality is getting better.

It might have the same chip. But the chip handles nVMe bandwidth and gives comparable speeds to XsX. How does it even matter?
