Re: SEGA And Microsoft Partner Up To Bring Next-Gen Games Via The Cloud

carlos82

@Xiovanni not exactly, Sega wanted to partner with them and make the Xbox backwards compatible with Dreamcast games. In the end Sega's next arcade machine the Chihiro was based upon the Xbox for games like Outrun 2.

As for the Dreamcast Microsoft's main involvement was having a version of Windows CE to run several games, though the operating system was only ever on the disc

Re: It's Officially Been A Year Since Xbox And Bethesda Joined Forces

I'm playing on PC so it makes little difference to me but no matter what Sony fans say, this was a huge acquisition. Fallout 4 was my most played game on the PS4, whilst Doom 2016 and Dishonoured are up there amongst the very best games I played last gen and easily as good as any exclusive. Just playing Deathloop and it's brilliant, I can't wait for Starfield next year

Re: Unlike The PC Version, Far Cry 6 Won't Support Ray Tracing On Xbox Series X|S

@UltimateOtaku91 realistically their capabilities are around a 2060 maybe 2060s at best, this is mainly due to AMD's rather lacklustre RT capabilities. For example in Control using next gen console settings (basiclly low), or as close as I can get as there as RT reflection resolution is lower than on PC, my 3070ti will run the game between 80 and 90fps. I had a Series X earlier in the year before upgrading my PC and I was a bit shocked how far behind they are with RT

Re: Horizon Forbidden West's Upgrade Path Has PS5 Buyers Wishing For Xbox's Smart Delivery

Sadly too many Playstation fans blindly support them and even make excuses on their behalf, such as the cost of adding rumble to a game or higher fidelity graphics. Clearly forgetting that PC has had better graphics for many years without charging extra for their games, a game costs the same whether I'm using an RX480 or 3070ti.

I've been a console gamer gamer a very long time but I'm happy that I'm not gaming on the PS5 whilst Sony are trying to rip off their customers

Re: The Atari VCS Might Be Getting Support For Xbox Game Pass

carlos82

I was a huge Atari fan as a kid but the VCS and that walking corpse of a company are absolute joke and insult to what that company once was.

Seriously just buy a Series S, it's much cheaper and considerably more powerful than this and you can emulate all the Atari games on it anyway

Re: The Xbox Series S Is A 'Genuine Engineering Marvel', Says Analysis

carlos82

@Blessed_Koz in the here and now perhaps the One X is a decent option but in a year or 2 that's going to have very little or no support. Even on a 4K TV Hitman 3 looks great on Series S and runs significantly better then on One X, with Cyberpunk also performing much better on it. The only real advantage One X has is on Xbox One games but cross gen and next gen it'll be left far behind

Re: Random: Uh-Oh, Halo Infinite's Destructible Fruit Has Become A Bit Of A Talking Point

Twitter and other social media is just a mess of fanboy bulls**t at the moment, with either side picking on tiny things that nobody cares about. It's like those idiots criticising how many of the buildings look up close on Flight Simulator when it literally has the entire planet in the game. Or those pointing out the one rubbish looking Bush or texture in Horizon Forbidden West or Ratchet and Clank. Fanboys are looking at the one or two things a game doesn't do perfectly Instead ot the many may things they do incredibly well and all without somehow realising they can just buy the other console and play those games anyway

Re: The Ascent Is Bringing DLSS, Ray Tracing To Xbox Game Pass For PC

carlos82

The Gamepass versions of several games are lacking compared with their Steam counterparts, not least because you have little customisation as the files are hidden on your computer and locked out even when you do find them. Frankly I hate it and I just buy the games I want from Steam rather than use Gamepass
