What's the point in investing in a new Xbox when Scorpio is on the way, and all of the exclusives are also coming to Windows 10?
A new test version of Windows 10 also includes new File Explorer changes.
Most PC gamers right now do not have HDR monitors. "as long as you have a compatible HDR monitor" I'm using a 240hz Alienware 1080p GSYNC panel, (AW2518H) while I love it and love the high FPS in games, I'm not buying a new lcd just yet. So for now I just use reshade in all the games I play and enable "fake HDR" 😁 It's pretty good to, not real HDR but close enough for me. 👍
If someone doesnt have an HDR PC monitor, can't they use a HDR supported tv? Most PC cards support HDMI out so I would think that could be one option. It might not have the uber high refresh but I'm sure it could work.
Yeah the HDR TV will work over HDMI. I'm using displayport myself but if your just using that connection you can just use a displayport to hdmi adapter since displayport carries audio just like HDMI.
"Most PC gamers right now do not have HDR monitors."
Your point? Nothing wrong with Microsoft impementing this. Once you do get a HDR monitor in the future I'm sure you'll be moaning if Microsoft didn't have any support for it on Windows. They're not going to postpone it because XxINFERNUSxX doesn't have the right monitor yet.
This is great news. I'm about to invest in a new HDMI 2.1 and Display port 2.0 monitor this year I'm looking at you Asus PG32UQ . Perfect timing 👌
This is good news I hate having to enable HDR manually everytime I play an HDR enabled game. Some games already turn it on automatically but they are very few and far between (Destiny 2 is actually the only one I know of 😅).
Now that I've had some time to play with the PS5 DualSense on PC with Steam and DS4Windows, it's time to decide which is best for PC gaming.
My issue is that on steam you can modify on a game by game bases as some nave native support and DS4Windows you'd have to turn on and off and the issue with what I'm saying. If it has native support and you use the Steam API or DS4W it'll give you Xbox control prompts so it's more convenient to just run the steam API. Generally games outside of steam make sure to have support unless old. I have both and will only use DS4W if I absolutely have to. It's good but the game by game bases on steam is so much more ideal. Example Games with DS4 native support will allow trackpad support like Ni no Kuni using the track pad. But with DS or Steam activated it puts the trackpad to the share button. So the manual ability to disable it anytime that game starts makes it where that game operates correctly every time
I just use my 360 controller for 3rd person games, like GTA. All FPS games keyboard/mouse. No need for me to spend 70$ on a controller. Plus I like it to just work without any drivers just plug & play like the 360 controller.
A growing number of users say Game Mode is causing performance issues in games.
Wow i just turned off my game mode a few days ago just because.. and i felt sloght performance getting better but i thought maybe it was just me.. and now i read this
Right , I read this about a week ago and immediately changed it even with a nvidia gpu my fallout 4 with 3d vision stopped hitching almost entirely
Hmm I've been getting microstuttering in games on my relatively new Ryzen 5 3600. But it always goes away once I restart my PC. Very strange. But I think I already have game mode turned off.
Not sure if you can turn it off.
I
Have to go into task manager and fight it to get it stop running.
Last week I heard of that while trying to figure out audio stuttering on a rd 5700. There seems to be a lot of people having audio crackle and go in and out on amd. It seems like there is an audio conflict with two sources trying to control, I don't know.
I've been diving into the PC gaming side of things head first since last summer and I have a good grasp of it and I'm comfortable with it all now
But what you've just said is exactly why there'll always be a space for home consoles in the gaming market 😂
True, there can be enough problems to make one think it's not worth it. But overall since the ps360 days playing in HD or even 4k at 60 fps vs the muck of 720p under 30fps, non vsync with awful tearing it makes you figure out the pc. Then when you get steam sales over the years it's really nice. But there is a small percentage of pc horror stories that won't happen on console.
Did this a year back and apart from less performance hiccups I also got less sound glitches. W10 Game mode is not a very beneficial feature for me.
I am really excited to finally get into the XB1 library this year. And what better way than with the new 2tb slim. It has a few things i might not be able to take advantage of right away (UHD and HDR) because I use a 1080p tv but the price is good and the selection of games is good. And knowing that those same games will be playable on the next iteration in the XB1 family is a blessing. I also like the fact that i am not feeling rushed into getting a scorpio as I can get one when I feel the time is right.
I'm glad i held off in getting an XB1.
No
What's the point in getting a PS4 if NEO is coming? We can go back and forth with this dumb game.
No. The S will be the only game system this year that plays all the great titles coming out plus having a UHD 4k blu ray drive built in and is at the magical $299 price point. It will sell like hot cakes. It will be like when the PS2 first came out and it was one of the cheapest DVD player on the market plus the added bonus of also play games.
The pre order is already at the top of the chart at Amazon, that is with the $399 2tb sku. Can you imagine the $299 sku!? The $299 Sku will be like Chocolate chip cookies. Impossible to resist and will do major damage at retails.
Why would people not want to invest in this ? If you have a 4K tv and movies then it's cheaper than want current uhd players are offering.
This article is stupid , do they not understand what ms is doing and the approach , 3 systems aimed at Diffrent users ... A lot of people watch 4K content but don't play enough games to care about 4K games
Some people just play the Xbox causal and could t care less what the specs are
others want high end specs
There's a market for everyone and Xbox is now much more than one console one generation is part of a family system with Xbox live connecting it all ...
How hard is it to understand , all games accessories work on Xbox one , Scorpio and slim without needing to buy Diffrent games ... One dics or download play on any machine you chose how you chose
Simple , I don't understand how people seem to disagree with this when its been said at e3 and after e3 that Scorpio and Xbox one s are part of the Xbox family ... Is it not obvious what they are doing ? I mean it was obvious last year when they said Xbox live would be coming to Windows , and saying Windows and Xbox would have a connection going forward
I honestly don't understand why people can't see it , people may not like the idea and the fact that traditional gaming cycles may be ending this way. When you buy a PC or laptop you don't buy the most exspevie one for just cheeking emails or internet browsing , you don't buy a high end on when you just want basic stuff. People want media stuff buy the PC at a higher price that deals with that , and gammers buy the top end gaming machines , photo editors buy the high end PC units , music makers the same ...
Ms are doing the exact same thing , so is Sony with neo ... Which is aimed at high end users who want better graphics
