Eat my ass
That's pretty much what I was complaining about in my rant haha. My LG has something called UHD deep color only one one port (Xbonx is on this port) but it's not actual HDR.

Instead of optical I have an HDMI carrying all the info to the receiver. It's so dumb if the receiver was 4k@60hz I wouldn't have to run another cord. I'm just salty because now I have to cut a hole in my wall again to pull the cord through the fire block (literally impossible with fish tape) and piss off my wife in doing so.

This spergy home theater stuff is pain. I think switch owners have it all figured out.

HDR is a bigger deal than 4K, assuming that your TV has a wide dynamic range.

Yeah I got AC Origins on PC and xbonx and it looks better on xbonx due to HDR working. 30fps sucks but no HDR in that kind of game (not all types of games) sucks more.

Also AC Origins is so good that I got up to about level 28 on both despite having a massive backlog of new games after Black Friday. And the game is so massive that you can do that without playing a lot of the same stuff twice. Just found a massive secret room inside the Sphinx's butthole. Might have stumbled upon endgame poo poo?

If you have 2 xbones on the same network, you can also straight up copy games across the network from one to the other now instead of shuffling an external HD back and forth or redownloading from the internet.

make sure its wired and then copy the poo poo you want to play immediately via hdd

That's just my receiver, the tv does 4K with the exception of HDR. I've never seen HDR in person so I don't know if I'm missing anything mind-blowing with not having it.

it makes a bigger difference than 4k, id take 60fps/hdr updates over 4k resolutions at 30fps/no hdr

This is fine, all 3 major consoles do their job adequately. If you want high framerates and crippling aspergers there's a platform for that too.

I am curious if the next generation of consoles will have the CPU, GPU memory bandwidth, and trick anti-aliasing to go for 60+ fps.

I just upgraded from a 360 to One. I bought Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil for 360 way back when. When I view it on the One’s store app, it says UE isn’t available on its own anymore, you have to buy it in a bundle that includes the Rise of the Necromancer DLC.

If I were to buy the $15 DLC and own both components of the bundle, would I be able to download and play the game on my One? Or do I have to buy the full $60 bundle because I originally got the base game for 360?

The 360 version was left behind and didn't get the big expansion. Not every 360 game is available on the One; in fact, a lot of them aren't.

Edit: are you under the impression that 360 and One games are interchangeable on the One? Because they aren't. Diablo 3 for 360 is not the same title as Diablo 3 for Xbox One. They aren't compatible as consumable things, they're not the same game.

Just play Path of Exiles instead. It's F2P and while the PC version is superior, the xbox version plays perfectly ok too.

They just put out a YouTube app update/replacement that handles 4k and 60 fps content right, plus has fixed ui elements.

This feels like a side component to Google's little poo poo fight with Amazon. MS isn't pushing a competing phone platform anymore, so they're harmless, might as well hit the "decent YouTube app for Xbone" button. Bonus points for the "Purchased" tab being a Trojan horse for Google Play movies and TV shows.

Had mine for two weeks and I love it as well. The UI works better, recording videos doesn't cause a game to stutter for a few seconds.

Titanfall 2 looks like a god drat Disney ride. The HDR and the 4k really makes the game jump off the screen.

I'm looking forward to Horizon 3 getting the X Enhanced soon.

Also looking forward to universally acclaimed piece of dank PUBG tonight.

Yeah pretty much. We've decided that if we take the game seriously the competitiveness and jankiness will eat us alive.

Keep in mind that you actually have to find these things randomly in the world.

PUBG is pretty fun but the developer seems to be trying to make it be a game you play while someone streams it. If you piss off a streamer, you get banned from the game. You can only make a custom match if you're a PUBG Partner, where you stream three times a week and have at least 150 people watching when you stream.

I was going to try out Sony Exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn (coming soon in remastered edition for PS5) but my PS4 controller was - get this - dead (I did play Sony Exclusive MLB The Show '12 in October for a couple hours, so, fair enough), so I fired up PUBG on the Xbox One Launch Edition instead while I waited.

And can I just say, wow, these graphics are drop dead gorgeous potatotown, the controls are very insane and overall it makes my 6 year old 1080p gaming PC's ability to render the game look like my 6 year old computer is capable of 16k graphics

I'm conflicted about wanting to try PUBG to quell my curiosity because it does look kind of fun, and how junky it looks and the horrid streamer culture surrounding it...I didn't even realize it was another loving paid beta until today either. Yuck. Xbone seems to have a lot of those.

I'm sure it will improve on Xbone but I would give it a "do not buy in current state" however I would advise getting the PC version a hundred times over.

It depends. If you're playing alone, then once you die you just leave and hop into a new game straight away.

If you're with a squad then you can spectate the rest of the round until they win or die, or leave and play by yourself while they hide out in a bathtub for 20 minutes.
