XBX Xbox Series X/S - November 10

[UnitedWarrior93]

Probably what they should have done with the Xbox One really.

Probably, I remember at the time hearing people say they hope the console after the Xbox 360 is just called Xbox again, Xbox one was a strange name choice.

Love the fact that all games and controllers from XB One will work on next gen

Really smart stuff

I also like the look of the console. Yep, it looks like a tower, but that's not a bad thing IMO

Now let's hope the games are good!

• Explanation of form factor
• Current real life hardware comparisons
• Change in design philosophy from current gen
• This won't be cheap
• Microsoft still to reveal a 4 teraflop variant likely to be marketed towards more casual users

Going to hope that the exchange rate doesn’t tank even further in the coming year.

Can’t wait

Reckon the price will be about $850

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Yeah, going to be quite expensive. Reckon I’ll go with Xbox series s or whatever the lesser version of it will be.

And probably $599 in the US because the Australian dollar is s**t

One of the best channels at it again. First half is more about PS5, second Series X. It's more confirmation that if the leaks are somewhat accurate then the Series X is not going to be cheap at all. Given there is not much on the cheaper "Lockhart" yet then it might not even launch at the same time as Series X/"Anaconda" (Richard doesn't actually state that but it's my take from it). The cheaper version might be closer to what the PS5 leaks are (if they're accurate).

Lol @ someone from AMD using a completely wrong 3D build of the console

Xbox Series X Hardware Shows Up Early

Two weeks ago, I wrote up the ports that were on the back of the Xbox Series X and today, you get to see them with your own eyes. Images of the hardware, that show the front and the back, have found their way to the Internet.

Product name placeholder is a bit of a dumb name.

Optical audio port seems a bit odd, considering HDMI video+audio passthrough and ARC is pretty much the norm these days.

They're really popular for wireless headsets.

Still not digging the tower look

That's what's mine is used for on the One X.

No HDMI in

Microsoft ticking some almighty boxes. Specs revealed and the ease of "Smart Delivery" just sounds ingenious and user friendly. CD Projekt Red already announced that the XB One version of Cyberpunk 20177 will work on series X without any further purchases

Backwards compatibility will be huge if there aren't any major hurdles (developers requiring to patch games to run on different firmware) given the awesome catalogue currently in the game pass.

I find it good and bad that the X-box machine will run anything and that games will just upscale for Series X and still work on the XB One. I know they will take time to have exclusives, but if games need to always work on the old machines, it might not incentivise developers to push the boundaries. I think that is one advantage consoles have over PC, optimised games for 1 machine can get a lot more bang for the buck instead of catering to a wide and diverse user base.

Take God of War as an example. Amazing game on the PS4 that hid the loading screens through rock gaps or Portal halfway houses. If I have a expensive SSD in my new machine, I want the fake loading screens removed from the game to make it a seamless experience walking around huge worlds. I can see developers using a one size fits all approach with just quicker loading and better graphics on the high end machines.

Maybe eventually they release Series X only versions of games and optimise for this once the player base is big enough.

Figured I'd move the posts to the Series X thread
