It'd be a great choice unless you are a pixel counting fanatic who sits 3 feet from a gigantic 4K TV.

The series S is good and that's really cheap. Quick resume is really cool.

I just have a ten years old 42” 1080p toshiba TV. One that I originally bought because it had SCART and VGA inputs 😅 it works really great though.

Anyway I pulled the trigger at the pawn shop. My first Microsoft product!

The Ws keep coming boys.

quote:

Fast forward one week, and the tech channel now released a new comparison video. On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, Modern Warfare 2 runs in 4K at 60FPS with reconstruction rendering, and in 1440P at 120FPS with reconstruction rendering. It does have to be said that performance appears to be better on Xbox Series X at 120Hz in Invasion mode, and the PS5 version seems to suffer from some minor shading problems in 120Hz.

One of the biggest surprises might again be the Series S, which runs the game in 1440P at 60FPS with reconstruction rendering and in 1080P at 120FPS with reconstruction rendering. Overall, great performance on Microsoft’s entry next-gen (or should I say, current-gen) consoles.

Prodeus is out of early access as of this afternoon and it's on Gamepass. If you like Doom, you owe it to yourself to give it a download - I believe it's even cross-save on console/PC.

Legitimately the best of the "boomer shooter" crop that I've played. The game nails the impact of guns like nothing else out there in the space.

The beta is on now and its so god drat good looking. Some of the best sound design I've heard in a game, period. Need to get good because right now everyone jumps and slides around corners.

Prodeus is really good and watching the evolution of this game through its EA period to this massive jump has been wonderful. Devs who really get how to make levels.

Yeah there's an entire "campaign" mode of 300 levels. They're pushing the multiplayer stuff because it has a battle pass they're trying to monetize, but the regular game is pretty deep.

Nice, I'll check it out. I played Beacon Pines last night and I think I've almost beaten it. It's like 4 or 5 hours and pretty good I think. Kind of an adventure visual novel type game. Cute and has a pretty good story. Never would have tried this without game pass so thanks Phil.

I feel like I'm in the back half. It's cute. Glad it's short. The plot is pretty interesting. You aren't going to guess a few of those twists.

So I’ve had an incredibly lovely day at work, and 10 minutes of fortnite got all my daily / additional weekly stuff done so I figured I’d fire up Diablo II resurrected. My guy is gone. I have to start the whole game over again. God drat it. It’s like i never even started the game. Thanks, new update.

It’s alright. I played a few hours yesterday and had fun with it. If you never played the original you might be a little lost though, it’s extremely light on story/tutorial. It just kinda drops you into the world and says here you go.

But seriously, if social media blows up about a white XSX (and probably even if they don't), it will happen. Mass producing in a different color is actually pretty easy and cheap and a great way to move more hardware (invented by Nintendo).

It's great when games launch with a full store and battle pass but no way to play with friends. :v:

The campaign is great though.

Sourced? Whoever produces the shells can do it in any color you want and the (not so) choices were selected very consciously. Look at the Xbox Design Lab about how possible it is to make color changes.
