Alright fine I'm going to build an 8k setup.

roadkillers1348d ago

Why not 16k or 32k? Serious question, I have an N64

SyntheticForm1348d ago

I can't believe some of you.

You're still thinking about 16 and 32k?

I've been at 68 for awhile now.

I can barely see a difference between 1440p and 4k on my 4k 55" TV... is it really worth it upgrading to 8K so soon?

LordoftheCritics1348d ago (Edited 1348d ago )

For projection it makes sense. I watched this with a 1080p projector on a 100inch screen and you can see the differences. Even the supersampled image compared to 1080p looks amazing. 8k really does look sharp and smooth on large screens. Can't imagine what true 8k screens would be like.

Though 4k is more than enough for this gen.

bunt-custardly1348d ago

Move closer to the screen and you will. Distance from screen makes a huge difference to the details.

tombfan1345d ago

I'm pretty close, tho... I think closer would be an eye killer hahahaha i'm like less of 1.5m away from my TV.

phoenixwing1348d ago

i wasn't even convinced enough of 4k for my computer and bought a 2k monitor instead, now they're doing 8k? I think i'm getting old because i can't see the difference and it all feels like marketing tricks

LordoftheCritics1348d ago (Edited 1348d ago )

Simple test. Find a 480p or even 720p resolution picture and open it on your phone. Now open that image on your computer monitor or tv on fullscreen. Blurry on your computer isnt it? Now find the native resolution picture for your tv and fill the screen with it.

So a 4k in big screens look good. So bigger the screen more fidelity is required.

In fact movies are now using Red Monstro (8k) and Alexa 65 (around 6.5k) and IMAX 70MM film is close to 10k.

Also as the audience becomes more visually intelligent, we will notice the differences a lot faster. Like I do.

Realistically we dont need that right now. But to an enthusiast, nothings stopping you. Elon musk is an enthusiast of wanting to normalize space flight like taxis. He's doing it. What matters is what you want to do within this time in your life. I like to chase my enthusiasms.

THRASHMOUTH1348d ago

Damn man, you've got me questioning my own shit...

@Thrashmouth had me chuckling there ...😂😂🤣

"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

banger8815h ago

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

jjb19812h ago

Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.

thorstein50m ago

I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.

Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition Reneges on Promised Content Behind $250 Price Tag

The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.

Christopher15h ago

$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?

SimpleDad6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.

Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.

solideagle5h ago

you should apply in MS PR team buddy, I think you will do a great job in my humble opinion :)

Sonic18813h ago

I thought darthv72 and Obscure_Observer already work for Microsoft 🤔

dveio2h ago

MS: "Xbox services and content without AB up 1%, with AB up 62%. Hardware down 31%. In total a loss of 350 mill."

darthv72: "Seems about right."

MS: "Excuse m ..."

darthv72: "I don't hardly play on my consoles directly."

MS:

Cacabunga5h ago

I can tell people like you are an absolute minority..

If service is up means their fans and fanboys accepted this model and subscribed to it. The near future you will see a big decline because the service is saturated.

shinoff21834h ago

But that's been ms for years. When things aren't going their way they try to change the way things are said. For instance console sales are down, they stop telling how many sold instead telling us how many hours spent in halo or headshots. So it makes sense console sales down just say people are playing on more devices then previous. What they won't say is how many xbox players jumped ship to ps5.

Cacabunga3h ago

Hardware sales are so bad that Sony and Nintendo are blowing the sales off the water with their hardware.

If Xbox are losers, others aren’t..
Xbox already tried everything with Xbox live then subscriptions went down so much that they had to find something else. Their fans subscribed then reached saturation rather quickly.

Hardware and exclusive games is where it’s at! Keep gamers excited, announce decent software and people will support you

Xbox hardware revenue tanks to lowest point of Xbox Series generation

Profchaos7h ago

I'm not surprised surface is struggling they aren't relevant anymore

XBManiac6h ago

Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.

SimpleDad6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."

That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.

Activision: "we gonna need a bigger rucksack/backpack please"

Microsoft: "why's that"

Activision: "to carry yo' weak ass'

Profchaos5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Top brass have also wanted to start seeing returns on the 100 billion they have put into various Xbox related moves so seeing more multiplatform games is highly likely especially from abk

It's basically saying that PlayStation is the reason Xbox is afloat right now thinks to Ps5 versions of COD

Kornholic4h ago

So basically PS and PC gamers' money is keeping Xbox on life support.
