So it's an Xbone pro? Should have saved themselves for the actual next-gen. Will be interesting to see how this thing sells.

Nah, Xbone pro would be the same ram and a slight clock speed bump. This is a new console that's backward compatible with the old console.

With Windows as a Service finally being fairly solid, it's become fairly easy to write an application/game once and have it run on just about any platform. So the idea would be:

code:
if (xbonx) {
  start_game_xbonx();
} else {
  start_game_xbone();
}
and call it good (way oversimplified here).

I just hope they aren't keeping the stupid loving provision that all new games must keep the 32Mb of ESRAM in mind when programming, but I bet they will.

So what you're doing instead is sitting in front of a TV screen? Doesn't sound materially different to me. Never understood your sentiment.

In front of a TV, I can play with the family and chill on my couch. In front of my PC I am in my room.

I'll pass on Division 2, I personally would like to see what they can do with Ghost Recon Wildlands 2.

The MMO-ness of Division 1 sort of turned me off. I haven't been back to it since I gave it up three months after launch, maybe it's changed.

Dying Light 2 is going to rule.

Halo, who really cares right now? Same for Gears 5.

Never been a DMC fan. I think that one samurai game looks rad but I suck at Souls games.

Rage 2 is going to own so drat hard.

The division at launch is not the division now. It’s almost a completely different game at this point.

So on the PS5 I can put the console in to rest mode from a menu.

Is there no way to do it on the X? I just see turn of the controller off or turn the console off?

Turn off puts it in rest mode. Well, so long as it’s set in the settings menu to do so.

Tired: Let’s use a proven game engine that is well optimized and works on every platform known to man.

Wired: Let’s write our own game engine and spend years extra in development along with fixing countless bugs in an effort to not have to pay the licensing fees for a canned game-engine.

I use my Xbox one X (the most powerful console on earth) to play destiny 2 on my LG Oled TV (with infinite contrast.) It’s awful in dark places because Bungies HDR implementation completely blacks out dark areas. Most games are amazing looking though including destiny in non dark areas.
