They also confirmed that HDR support will be brought from console to PC eventually.

Higher resolution for an MMO is always good. Console UI just takes up so much bloody screen space lol

Gazondaily2927d ago

Nice!

"4K@30FPS while also getting those additional graphics effects that PS4 Pro only enables when running at 1080P resolution."

Impressive

Babadook72927d ago

So same res and frame rate as Pro but with slight bump to assets. This is what I've been saying for a while.

"So same res and frame rate as Pro but with slight bump to assets. This is what I've been saying for a while."

You mean the gap from the PS4 to the PS4 Pro is the same gap from the PS4 Pro to the Xbox One X? Yes, I also agree.

Babadook72927d ago

Then you don't know how to read. Pro runs it 4k 30 fps. Like one x. But one x has a very minor bump to settings. This is what the differences are. Oh well.

badz1492926d ago

"...will run at 4K@30 on XB1X just like on PS4 Pro..."

xbox fanboys be like...WTF Bethesda? if the Pro can do 4K, there's no way the X can't do more! I expect 4K60fps at the very least or 8K30fps. Sony is clearly paying for parity bla bla bla

"You mean the gap from the PS4 to the PS4 Pro is the same gap from the PS4 Pro to the Xbox One X? Yes, I also agree."

I´m not agree.

Gears 4 is native 4K/30fps on X vs Uncharted 4 1440p/30fps on Pro.

Now, show me a game which runs at native 1080p on PS4 while 720p on Xbox One, then, i´ll agree. ;)

@obscure

X1: 1.3Tflops
PS4: 1.8Tflops

X1: game runs 1080p@30fps, to get that to 2160p@30fps, need 4 times the GPU power, 4 x 1.3 = 5.2Tflops, 6Tflops is more than enough

PS4: game runs 1080p@30fps, to get that to 2160p@30fps, need 4 times the GPU power, 4 x 1.8 = 7.2 Tflops, 4.2 is not enough

Do you get it now??? The X1 can NOT run UC4 at 1080p@30fps, The One X would not be able to run UC4 at 2160p@30fps either...

Basic math, simple logic, but you keep going on and on about it...

loving the 4k 60fps guys well done ms.

"The team is still making tweaks at this point, but he replied that it’s most likely going to run at 4K@30FPS while also getting those additional graphics effects that PS4 Pro only enables when running at 1080P resolution."

Pretty much states they chose to add effects on top of the 4K/30 PS4 Pro offers while Pro can only sustain those same effects at 1080p and not 4K.

That should also be somewhat telling as to how taxing their effects are. It'd make you wonder if Xbox One X could run it at 4K/60 without those effects.

Shadowlee2927d ago (Edited 2927d ago )

Probably could run it but for an mmo I prefer 4k/30 with increase graphics over 4k/60 standard graphics. Only first person shooters, racers and fighters would i choose the 4k/60 option

Eonjay2927d ago

I don't understand this comment. It's not based on reality so....

threefootwang2927d ago (Edited 2927d ago )

Nice try but that was never advertised. I've already mentioned this in a past post, but 4K/60 FPS was never advertised by Xbox or Phil Spencer. The goal was always 4K native, and that has been achieved.

Don't believe me? Research all past information regarding Project Scorpio.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2927d ago

Where are you getting this crap? No one ever stated every game will be 4k-60fps, get your defensive bs outta here

Vasto2927d ago (Edited 2927d ago )

.

It would be an unfair advantage.

Nice to see a dev actually implementing more for the stronger hardware. Bungie.....take notice.

Kribwalker2927d ago

Yep someone is gonna take advantage of the OneX and not the paycheck #4theParity

Aenea2926d ago

Still believe in that parity BS, oh Krib *shakes head*

Allsystemgamer2927d ago

Yea cuz this is on the same graphic level as destiny.

Smh you people are too much.

2927d ago
Anzil2926d ago

@gapecanpie Destiny has great to awesome graphics for an FPS imo.

deadfrag2927d ago

4K BS!Why not make the games all at 1080p60fps using all the power of this mid-gen console upgrades and just skip 4K until next generation.Its already obvious that this mid-gen upgrades cant do true 4K without compromises.

OMGitzThatGuy2927d ago

60fps requires double the cpu usage AND double gpu usage while while 4k needs 4x gpu usage. If it hits 30fps on base consoles and the upgrades are slight overclocks what makes you think that games are capable of doubling so easy.

deadfrag2927d ago

You know what Asynchronous compute is?Well with the way that Cpu tasks can be render or achieve using the Gpu.This mid-gen consoles can use Asynchronous compute and if developers were smart they would use this rendering technique more often,and yes developers could achieve 1080p60fps with the PS4 pro and Xbox one X much more often if they used Asynchronous compute with there games not to mention they will still be able to achieve a very high graphic quality with Asynchronous compute.

conanlifts2927d ago

That's the next gen war "Worlds first true 4k60fps console" followed by "worlds most powerful 4k/61fps console"

Shadowlee2927d ago

60fps wont be that big a deal for an mmo imho. I dont see how it would make a difference in game

FITgamer2927d ago

Is this game still strong online? I put like hour or two into it when it first launched and haven't touch since. Been thinking about jumping back into it.

Kribwalker2927d ago

Me too. I think I'll hop back on when the OneX drops

Nightmar3Demom2927d ago

It has improved since it was released

Sam Fisher2927d ago

I don't know about xb but on the ps4 its got a strong community, so my guess is that yea most likely for xb aswell

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller Review

A handful of small redesigns and a pair of back buttons make Nintendo’s Pro Controller for Switch 2 a worthy upgrade.

Neonridr1d 17h ago

I love this controller. Feels so nice in the hand. Plus the battery lasts for days, it's crazy.

peppeaccardo1d 11h ago

$100 ?????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????

1nsomniac1d 10h ago

Yea the pricing for Nintendo peripherals is a bigger joke than the game prices. What the hell were they thinking!

peppeaccardo1d 1h ago

i mean for a piece of slightly redesigned plastic with the same take of the last few years this has written GREED all over it ! Shame on Nintendo.

OMNlPOTENT21h ago

It's $85. The standard Dualsense is $75. The Dualsense Edge (Playstation Pro controller) is $200. The Xbox Elite (Xbox Pro controller) is also $200. How exactly is $85 so drastically insane compared to those prices?

Neonridr20h ago

the battery lasts like 10 times as long as a dualsense though.

Stevonidas15h ago

Not true; more like 20.

You may commence with your butthurt, ponies.

fsfsxii13h ago

It doesn't have analogue tho, sooo....

Tacoboto14h ago

$85 USD
or $75 at CostCo (same standard price as a DualSense)

Even at $85, you're getting 3-4x the battery life of a DualSense, and it is (by a HUGE margin) the cheapest first-party console controller with Back Paddles.

Vits1d 10h ago

The thing is, over the past decade, third-party controllers have really stepped up. You can often get better quality, more durability, and stronger performance for half the price of first-party options. Meanwhile, controllers from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have become increasingly mediocre, expensive, fragile, and not particularly impressive across the board. What makes this especially noticeable with Nintendo is that they’re surprisingly open to third-party hardware. That openness ends up highlighting just how much better the alternatives are.

Chard1d 9h ago

Name a better controller

Vits1d 5h ago

Pretty much most things by half a dozen of chinese manufactures. Like, 8bitdo, Gamesir, Machenike, Gulikit, Flydigi, Manba, EasySMX, etc.

The exception would be really low tier stuff by those companies... those wouldn't be better, they would be about the same quality. But more durable.

Themba761d 8h ago

Best controller I’ve ever used I even like more than my dual sense edge

UltimateOwnage1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

Having used Dual Sense, Pro Controller 1, and 8BitDo Ultimate extensively, I am pretty much in love with Pro Controller 2. The easy reassignment on the grip buttons is such a big plus, but the soft edge joysticks are the best feeling sticks of any controller I’ve ever used. It’s really an awesome controller. The HD Rumble 2 also finally has some thud and the headphone jack is great with a pair of good phones. It’s worth the slight price increase IMO.

Profchaos19h ago

The pro controller 2 for me has the best weight and size it fits the hand perfect like the duelshock 4 did imo

I actually dislike the duelsense controller because of its size but the features are amazing on it.

Still as for the pro 2 no analog triggers is surprisingly something I dont actually miss

PRIMORDUS1d 6h ago

I have the original pro controller and TBH, I don't use it as much. I'm mostly using the Switch in handheld mode with the Hori Split Pad Compact Controller. I also never use the back buttons to program anything so I will not be buying this one here, so that will be $85.00 in my pocket 😂

Very good dev length for a AAA/AA game I'd say. Companies need to set an aim for this range. 1-2 is too little, I believe 3-4 is perfect. Any more is too much. Games don't need to be these gigantic games full of a crazy amount of content. Just make a good game.

Lol. Had no idea who that was, but I will admit they do look quite similar.

Hideo Kojima calls Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 “ideal” for one key reason

Legendary gaming auteur Hideo Kojima heaped praise on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, calling it “ideal” for one significant reason.

gigoran82d ago

Greatness knows greatness. Simple as that. Expedition 33 is a masterpiece, built with a smaller team and with a smaller budget, blowing ubisoft out of the water. It doesn't matter how many devs you have and how much money you throw at it, great studios like Sandfall Interactive will always overcome you.

PrecursorOrb1d 15h ago

Kojima states the obvious lol

mastershredder1d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

Ideal are you opinions being vacant from any discussion that is not about your own cringy universe Hideo.

The master of Vanity Tech Demos is here to tell us what a good game is. ooooh kay. It's pretty dang obvious without your 2 cents desperately needing relevance. This is just like his GTA grovel a while back. Yuck.

gold_drake1d 13h ago

quite honestly, i havent been able to stop thinking about it ha.

i keep playing it

__y2jb1d 11h ago

He’s massively overrated and writes terrible dialogue.
