It's incremental, but there's way more fine detail, and the volumetric lighting really helps the immersion. I've not been to Mexico but I've been to southern California and the way there's the light haze around the mountains rising in front of you is incredibly reminiscent of how they looked to me in person there, it just looks 'right'.

Is Forza replacing seasons with weather events

That would be fun. The dynamic weather in Dirt 5 is extremely cool.

Does 60 FPS matter in Flight sim. It seems like the rare type of 'game' that would do fine at 30.

I sit right next to it if I'm sitting at my desk playing and I can feel the hot air being blasted out long before I notice any actual noise from the console. Pretty neat. I was also a little shocked when I saw what they recommend for air clearance on the sides (which is only a couple inches iirc)

30 FPS is fine to watch, and yes, then you have to move the camera and it looks like poo poo.

Supreme Allah posted:Does 60 FPS matter in Flight sim. It seems like the rare type of 'game' that would do fine at 30. IMO the best framerate for Flight Sim is one that's rock solid steady. 30 evenly-spaced frames with no drops beats the hell out of fluctuations that hit 60 sometimes.

I don't play Flight Simulator but from what I've seen it doesn't really look like some graphically intensive beast the X couldn't handle at high framerates

I'm thinking that to get to 4K on the series X they've had to put the settings to low.

I assume the SX release will be optimized for the controller, any word on whether that'll make its way back to PC? I tried loving around with it on a gamepad a while back and that was excruciating.

Weather and topography are what make the game fun, so if you want to have a good time you'll be playing the version of it that asks the most of your system.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:You doing some stunt flying up there? There actually is a very nimble stunt plane in there. One interesting thing I've learned from Flight Simulator is how much control over an aircraft is indirect, suggested, or estimated. Control surfaces invariably have lag to them just by virtue of how they work, and in a lot of ways planes kinda fly themselves with you trying to convince them to do what you want to do. That's not to minimize an earlier poster's point about high framerates and responsiveness - it's valid - but if you're looking for shooter-level "I am one with the character" you're not gonna get it with Flight Sim.

So Starfield is actually skyrim in space. It's going to have aliens, diverse locations and apparently more RPG elements than their recent games which is great. I was kind of worried the game was going to be some kind of "boring" sci fi about building poo poo but this sounds great.quote:There are factions like Skyrim, with Constellation being the main one https://www.pcgamer.com/what-todd-howard-has-said-about-starfield-its-like-skyrim-in-space-with-detailed-cheese-sandwiches/ Actually kind of glad we're getting this before the next Elder Scrolls. About time for a new IP from them.

I've decided I want a Series X for Christmas, I figure they'll just get harder and harder to get as we approach that season. Anyone got any tried and true methods of obtaining one? When should I try to buy? I don't want to do Black Friday stuff. In the meantime I'll check my local Walmart whenever I go since we live in a pretty rural area. Gamepass question: is there one where you pay one monthly thing and are able to play games on your Xbox as well as your computer? Or is the windows PC one a separate subscription?

wario64 has definitely done posts where he’s like ‘series x s still available at windows store’ like more than an hour after the initial post so unlike ps5 i dont think it is really that hard to get one if you make a concerted effort

Nah they're usually gone in like 3 minutes. You probably just got lucky and noticed a restock. The S is considerably more available but still doesn't usually last more than 20 minutes.

I followed this guy https://twitter.com/mattswider?s=21 turn on alerts and got one within a week or two from Best Buy.
