I'll take worse graphics and being able to justify a game box over an expensive game box with more pixels tbh.

Any game that has been fun to play and people like seems to be absolutely fine on the S, so I don't really care about hobbling the current generation frankly.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
I thought that game that looked like super "botw climbing" looked chill as hell. Jusant. I always did enjoy the botw climbing.

I'm on the S box because they were way easier to find 2 years ago or whenever availability was tough. I'm dumb enough that I'll probably upgrade to whenever they refresh the X somehow, but the S is fine. Good, even. Quick resume is cool.

First one is pretty depressing in atmosphere and tone, which is why I like it more than the sequel, despite that being, objectively, the better game. Both are quite good, though.

Series S was a great idea for sales etc but a loving terrible thing for the generation as a whole. Do y’all who bought an S not know about Xbox All Access

I can't believe the Series S is holding back all those many nex-gen exclusive games from reaching their full potential

Really good show by Xbox. I really think they will blow Playstation away if the Activision Blizzard deal passes through. 11 first party games is already so much and we still didn't get anything from some of their biggest studios. And playstation is pivoting into liveservice games which imo playstation hardcore audience won't like.

Also Gamepass keeps winning.

I'm a little disappointed that the black series S is likely to be the only hardware refresh this year. I know we are unlikely to get a Pro or physically smaller update anytime soon this cycle, but I was holding out hope for a 2TB series X, maybe without a disc drive for them to manage costs.

Pretty sure it’s their way of raising the price on a series s without the bad press of a price hike. Are they discontinuing the 500 gb series s?

Not surprising but I'm sure some will be disappointed. I'll be playing on pc so I don't care but at least it's out there.

4K 30 fps on Series X

As long as it's steady I don't care if a game is 30 FPS personally. I'll probably be playing Starfield on PC due to mods, but I'll probably also play on Series X due to it being on gamepass.

Actually that makes me wonder - are mods compatible with the PC gamepass version of BGS games? I already owned steam versions of everything before they ever went on gamepass so I've never bothered to check. It'd be nice to be able to play with mods without having to purchase the game.

It's likely going to be some form of reconstruction/upsampling on both consoles.

Phil claimed they didn't give Arkane enough support to guarantee 60 fps in Redfall on launch, yet they probably threw a lot of support behind Starfield and no 60 there either. So what is it, Phil?

Like just give us a performance mode that is 1080p and 60fps, that should still be able to do settings that are comparable to high settings on PC, surely?

I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.
If it was 60 they'd have been shouting it from the rooftops for months now. It was always gonna be 30. It's a gamebryo RPG, of course they're gonna have it running at 30 so there can be too many polygons in the crap sitting on all the tables and so the game can track the sleep cycle of a spider monster on the other side of the map. They use characters' hats as vehicles, of course it's running at 30. Knocking it down to 1080p would probably make it run worse, somehow. Non-Zelda Game of the Year, right here.

Show was good. The new flight sim stuff is extremely hype. The climbing game looks like it could be quite fun.
