Re: Xbox Series S Will Run Xbox One S Versions Of Backwards Compatible Games, With Improvements

playstation_king

@BlueOcean quick question to you aswell off subject, does the gamepass that's coming to mobile on the 15th September include all the games in gamepass on xbox one? And will xbox series X games that are coming to gamepass also be on the mobile gamepass? As when I get paid at the end of this month I'm thinking of getting the razer kishi and gamepass ultimate for mobile but can't find a definite list of what will be included on the mobile version

@BlueOcean yeah that's what's scaring me the cost of the ps5 ssd as I will mostly likely need and extra one day one, I play a lot of multiplayer games regularly on my ps4, I have Rocket league
Fortnite
Apex legends
Overwatch
Rainbow six siege
Star wars battlefront 2
Dead by daylight
Smite
PvZBFN
Paladins
Destiny 2
Black desert online
Monster hunter world
Hunt Showdown
Fall guys
And they alone take up around 550GB, god to think the size of these when they land with next gen upgrades, going to be one expensive gen for me thats for sure, but hopefully your are right and sooner rather than later there are cheaper options on the market

@Z3u5000 what's your thoughts on this then

"In 2020, devs will have to optimize cross-gen games for eight console platforms:

Xbox One
Xbox One S
Xbox One X
Xbox Series S
Xbox Series X
PS4
PS4 Pro
PS5

The variable perf between Series S and Series X could cause trouble, a Remedy tech dev says"

On top of that I'd software and call of duty developers have voices concerns about the series S holding them back by being a bottleneck

@BlueOcean I agree as I believe the series S will outsell the xbox series X and give the ps5 a good run for its money, now if the series S also had a disk drive then I belive it would of sold maybe twice as what it will, only problem I see is the 500gb storage as the size of games are getting to be 50GB+ with some games like Red dead and call of duty being over 100GB imagine the size of those two being on next gen, and the price of an extra or bigger custom ssd costing around £170 minimum you may aswell get the series X

Problems I see with series S, You'll get worse performance, lower draw distances, worse textures more basic lighting, less environmental detail etc etc. The only times that won't be the case is if the game isn't remotely taking advantage of the Series X's power.

It has half the compute units, one third of the tflops and half the RAM. It's like comparing a PC from 5 years ago to a high end new PC. It even only has two thirds of the tflops of the XB1X and less than the PS4 Pro. Even adjusting for the fact the actual effect of each tflop is now higher (so an old thing with 4 would be less powerful with a modern thing with 4) that's still really bad.

Also being digital only and having only 500gb space it will fill in no time then have to pay £170 for an extra custom ssd which then brings the price closer the series X, the series S is looking more like its just for the casuals or just for people who want it for gamepass, which at the moment is likely why I will get the series S just to play gamepass

@Richnj I think you hit the nail on the head and the switch and wii are perfect examples, 90% of gamers don't care about the power or who had the best graphics (especially when it's marginal), it all comes down to price and which has the 1st party games they want to play the most and for casuals and parents to get for their kids it's down to which is cheaper, and for the later it's the series S, I firmly belive the series S will outsell the series X and give the ps5 a good run for its money all on its own. Now if the series S also had a disk drive then that would sell even more crazy

@Menchi wouldn't pay too much attention to a certain 3 people on this site, they have xbox shrines in their bedroom and revise and gather facts and information 24/7 just to combat anyone who they believe is a troll or says a bad word about the xbox, e everyone else on here is alright though and not got their d**k in their xbox.

The article clearly states
"he has no access to dev kits for either system"
So you cant take his words seriously without definite proof and only time will tell when more demanding games get created in the future, hence why an article not long back mentioned that maybe some games won't be compatible with the series s and then there's this article which Devs are saying it could be a problem for multi plats

Re: Reaction: Xbox Is Making Next-Gen Gaming More Accessible Than Ever

@GamingFan4Lyf seems you're getting some grief for agreeing with me, I should point out to people I was talking about the big Big budget games with realistic next gen graphics and amazing story and gameplay, not indie level games like ori and sea of thieves, battle toads etc and wasteland 3 is multi plat. Only ones that match that criteria are gears and halo and they are shooters

And I really enjoyed state of decay 2 on gamepass using my phone but still wouldn't call it a big budget game and story was no existent, fable would most like really interest me though

Re: Reaction: Xbox Is Making Next-Gen Gaming More Accessible Than Ever

Gamepass is awesome value I have to agree and would be the only reason il get a xbox series S, But xbox have still yet to show me any exclusives that give me that wow factor that the PlayStation exclusives bring, I'm tired of shooters and Xbox's two main exclusives are shooters the other is a racer (forza) and I'm not into sports games, I'm onto Rpg's and action/adventure and the blockbuster third person games and so far xbox don't deliver on that front for me, if they step up their game on that front then id gladly complete the console trio. (switch/ps5/series s)
Saying that I hope state of decay 3 is something special as state of decay 2 was one of the games I enjoyed most on the Xcloud beta on my mobile

Re: Microsoft Officially Reveals The Xbox Series S, $299 Confirmed

playstation_king

@BlueOcean ah ok so if I don't have any interest in getting a 4k tv then there's no point in getting the X and stick with the S instead?
Also as primarily a playstation player would it best for me to get the S (as all I want to do is play the xbox exclusives) or just get gamepass on my phone and get a razer Controller? Or will there be any exclusives (next gen) that won't be coming to the mobile game pass?

Re: Microsoft Insider Shares 'First Look' At Xbox Series S

playstation_king

At that price then the rumours about it being weaker than the xbox one x may be true, this is for the people who want to play the next gen games but not with next gen graphics or speed, and also can see some xbox series X games not being compatible with this

Whereas sonys digital only console will be the same of the normal ps5 just without the disk drive, so I think sonys will cost more
