Chindie Posted July 24, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2020 That Halo trailer was rough looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 8, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Pretty decent deal for anyone who's using a 1080p/1440p screen. Good price for a Game Pass machine. Looks pretty ugly tho. £250 over here. Pretty good going. Edited September 8, 2020 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that bothers me unless they produce games that only run on the X (I doubt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Series S plays the same next-gen games as Series X at the same visual fidelity, it's just doing it at 1440p instead of 4K so doesn't need to be as powerful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, sounds like that’s the one I’d go for (the S). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I was all in to get a series S to compliment PS5 but after reading the limitations with the RAM and that it won’t play one x enhanced games only the one s version. I’m starting to wonder what the point in it is. When it appears weaker than the outgoing one x. Even devs are coming out saying the performance claims from MS are way off the mark given the spec and the next gen experience on this thing will be severely gimped.

With the Xbox Series S "Lockhart" finally out in the open, many of you have been asking if it's a definitive upgrade from the Xbox One X. The answer is complicated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this will be the case though. They did show off Gears 5 running at 120FPS on the Series S. Though, i'm no dev so could be very wrong. If Velocity is as good as they are making out then the lack of RAM shouldn't have too much of an impact as the console targets 1440p, games on it will use smaller assets. We shall see. Looking forward to the DF videos on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don’t think there will be many next gen games hitting 1440p on the S. Hope I’m proved wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they said it was 1440p. I'm unsure on whether next gen games will run at 1440p, I would assume they've spent a load in R&D to ensure it's capable of doing so, otherwise they should have marketed it as a 1080P machine. I would guess (and i'm strictly guessing) that most next gen games on the series S will run at 1440p dynamic resolution. Which is fine I guess for a £250 box.

Daweii Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 As more comes out about Series S it definitely feels less straight forward than I initially anticipated. On paper Series S seems ideal, but I think in the end I'll just get a Series X so I'm 100% certain everything will run great and look great.

V01 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Thinking of doing the All Access package on a series X, £28.99pm for 2 years, Console and 2 years of game pass ultimate included. Free's up my console savings to put towards a new tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V01 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Only downside I can see is it works out as 22-23 months of the game pass monthly rate, although I haven't seen any 12 month game pass ultimate codes Could possibly save an extra £40-£50 paying up front and getting 6 month codes on offer.

Daweii Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I hope no one pre-ordered a PS5 hoping to get Elder Scrolls 6 and the next Fallout game, or the next DOOM game, or the next Wolfenstein game, or Dishonored, or Starfield... This is huge and it comes a day before Series X pre-orders open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
