I’m not a Minecraft guy but I tried the raytracing on the pc version a while back and it looks amazing. I would definitely load it up on the xbox, bonus hdr!

I've been going through my backlog instead of just buying Elden Ring, trying out older optimized for x/enhanced for x games and overall there are some serious upgrades. some look like completely different games. xbox does it again!!!!!

Even on games that aren't specifically x/s optimized, auto hdr and fps boost do a lot of heavy lifting. Tomb Raider 13 looks better than ever with auto hdr and runs at a smooth 60 fps. The love they've put into not only backward compatibility but actually doing poo poo to improve the bc games has been amazing, especially since there's a ton of titles that benefit without the publishers doing a lovely 4k upscale and selling the game again.

It's hosed up MGSV never even got a PS4 Pro / One X patch. That game holds up so well and would look even better in 4K.

Wait what's up with PS+ "upgrade"? I need to go ahead and cancel anyway since I won't have a PS5 anytime soon and I barely touch my PS4 at this point.

Honestly curious to see what the "catalog of beloved PS1 & PS2 games" is, but if it's anything like their offerings from PS4 then it's not much.

My guess is it's going to be roughly what is available to purchase right now on PlayStation 3's PS Classics section of PSN.

I'm hoping the PS Classics I purchased can be played without paying $120/year.

I remember when they first started doing that I was super excited for it and even paid $20 for Parappa the Rappa just for something to play and I checked that section of the store every week for the next two years and they never added anything else.

It'll be:
Tomb Raider 1
Tomb Raider 2
A Bug's Life
a game just called "Bowling" (not available in all regions)

and then they forget the program exists

Sony isn't desperate for relevance, their first party games actually come out and sell something, so I didn't expect much. Just some lip service to shut up "CoPy GaMe PaSs SoNy".

I know they're so annoyed by MS

Now just gotta figure out if I want to use Atmos or DTS Headphone:X. Atmos demo is almost expired since most of the trial period was spent waiting for the replacement headset to arrive. DTS seems promising but it's odd that there's no profile for the official headset. Cursory online searches suggest that Atmos is better for movies while DTS offers wider soundstages for games... does that jibe with people's experience here?

Huh, it's the opposite for me. DTS sounds more like speakers in a room and I mostly use it for 5.1 TV shows on PC to get that living room surround system feel, the Atmos virtualizer is drier

Lmao at three tiers of ps+ and it somehow being more confusing than Xbox live gold, Xbox game pass, Xbox game pass PC, and Game Pass Ultimate. Good job Sony!

I guess my PS3 will hang out forever as my one stop shop for PS1 games (and I suppose I'll just keep emulating PS2 games that never got upgraded versions on PS3/4). Sucks that Steambot Chronicles never got a rerelease AND emulates terribly.

I'm trying CK3 and the game isn't formatting to my tv so bits of the text at the top and bottom are getting clipped out.. Most games either format fine or have and option to size the screen. Is there any other way around this, theres a lot of text on the perimeter of this game.

Am I crazy or is there no system-level way to fix this on Xbox cos I had this exact problem last week on an old TV. I think on PS4 you could just set the borders in the OS

I've no clue. For 95% of games it borders fine or has it as an option to resize. My TV is older but not "old". For the few games it does this on though it drives me a bit crazy, with this game it's a big problem. The devs should probably consider adding in a manual resizer because the borders are pretty drat important here.

I had to change from 16:9 to "screen fit" and now it works, wondering if my properly zoomed games will be zoomed out now thought or something.

e- One last gripe, the light blue text bits that can be hovered on for more info are hard to see. Like barely different from the white text and I have good vision and am not color blind.
