I have a 13 channel Atmos setup so I refuse to use headphones. I also have a 16:9 TV like everyone else but they didn't bother to target for that either...
I hope they don't forget a lot of people have older games on disc. An optional external drive is a must have if they decide to go the digital way in future generations.
They should release an external disc drive that also works on Series S, even it was only to support our backwards compatible games. Then I might give in to the all digital rage for new games.
Maybe a cheaper white 1TB version and a black 2TB version at the same price as the disc version? Seems reasonable to me then.
Anyway they should release an external disc drive that also works on Series S. It's no wonder Xbox doesn't sell much physical games anymore when 75% of your customers bought the cheap box.
@eire-shabba I know but I still have my VHS Xbox One, One X and Series X. There is just no way to let everyone play all my games on every console digitally. Long live physical media!
I still buy physical games whenever possible, mainly so my kids can play them on their own consoles. I don't believe their is any digital alternative for this use case instead of buying them multiple times for each accouny unless playing them on the same machine. Also I just like the boxes on my shelves and fear the power these companies have with the ability to just ban your account.
I would understand if they would step away from new physical releases, but since Microsoft is so big on the backwards compatibility thing it would be a big problem if they'd stop offering a physical drive on their future consoles. Maybe they should consider an optional external drive.
I have several Xbox consoles connected to different TVs throughout the house. The kids play my physical games on them with their own accounts. How am I supposed to do this with digital purchases?
Please focus on vrr instead of 60 or 120 fps. No compromises on picture quality. 40-50 fps is more than enough and with vrr it´s still fluent! Just add an option to lock to 30 for those who do not have a vrr tv.
You mean FSR upscales it to 4K. That doesn´t mean it runs at 4K!
It seems to becoming a trend to claim your game runs at the resolution they´re upscaling to, without even mentioning the render resolution. Please stop this nonsense!
@Dezzy70 no one ever said you need a 12 bit panel to take advantage of a 12 bit signal. Your tv does a lot of processing before sending the image to the panel. That is what HDR tone mapping is all about. Compare it to taking a photo in 16 bit RAW and editing it on pc to finally get an 8 bit jpg as output. The additional bits give you more room for editing.
Besides who knows if the xbox will use 12 bit DV? Not all DV blurays and none of the streaming services do.
The fact that our current tvs can´t produce that many nits doesn´t matter either. In fact, the dynamic metadata of DV has the most effect on tvs that don´t, because they´re the ones that need most tone mapping.
