Excited to commit to the vision again but really need to start seeing things shown. It's starting to become a bit of a worry this late on.

Yeah recent DF comments and basically zero Series X gameplay 2 months before launch is starting to frustrate me.
Its weird. I am not worried about it, since I know MS will bring the goods, especially in regards to BC updates etc but the lack of actual Series X footage, outside of Minecraft RT, is really weird. I am also not worried about the tech inside the system. It all sounds super nice and the price is fantastic. I just want some more footage haha. Maybe Oct?? Please!!

What's there to worry about? We've already seen third party games on PS5 and I would expect the same games to look slightly better on XsX. No need to make everything a conspiracy lol

Why not dynamic res? IMHO, 1080p on Series X looks embarrasing, for a last gen game.

Also, isnt XSX more powerful than PS5? why not 1440p/60 fps?

You must understand that what res/effects we get in the game is upto the dev\pubs not MS, also this is the start of a new gen with new tools (especially for XGS with its new GDK) so with these new technique on consoles like RT devs will need time to get efficient in the execution and getting balances just right. So i would not be concerned with the 4k/30 and 1080/60 options.
That being said RT as stated before is very expensive, but you can use lighter version depending on what you want to achieve, with DMC it looks like they have gone for heavy usage on all reflections so yeas very expensive, and most current top end PC graphic cards would do the same res.

That is quiet incredible. They really optimized the hell out of it. It looks fantastic and play at 60. It performed even better on Switch than the One

Microsoft should really buy this studio.
Did someone buy it already ?

It's what I've always thought, it would be a great acquisition for Xbox Game Studios but recently Moon Studios are working with Private Division (Take-Two) for their next game but it's a matter of time for Microsoft to acquire it.

It's still available, but potentially only through the dashboard. There's a chance, although possibly a small one, that it could disappear when next gen comes along, so it might be worth finding a way to take advantage of it sooner rather than later.
Wait? Is it true that this only works through the dashboard?

I've already sold my One X. 😭

It is funny when i hear someone say in a forum or on reddit or twitter that why would they get an Xbox when they have a pc which completely misses the point Microsoft is making next gen is that they really don't care if you do it on Xbox or pc as long as you buy the game either on steam or through the Xbox Gamepass For PC a one time purchase or a recurring purchase. It is directly from Microsoft Playbook like with office they rather you go with the subscription.

Papercraft Xbox Series S|X: Print it, make it - does it fit into your home theatre?

Worried about space when it comes to introducing a next gen Xbox into the mix? Spend your Sunday, weekendEra with some papercraft and see where you are likely to place your next-gen Xbox purchase. You might be helping someone figure out a furniture or purchasing solution ahead of preorders next...

Sooooooooo... RE: receiving MS Rewards Points against the purchase of the Series X at the MS Store; I asked Xbox Support over Twitter a couple of days ago and received no response, and I just spoke to an agent on live chat, who said there is as yet, "no announcement." So I guess the support agent just wasn't able to find any info about it (they did mention to check back online, but we're two days out from pre-order, sooo...).

So. I'm none the wiser!

I couldn't swear to it, but I think I heard that.

Might be worth finding a friend with an Xbox and getting them to sign you up if it is true.
It works through the Microsoft site as well, I did it a few weeks ago!

Phewww! I don't have any friends. 😅

But really, I've been trying to find cheaper XBL codes for a few weeks to pull this off. It looks to me that $58is the lowest they're going for right now.

Stroke of genius on CDPR behalf, launching Cyberpunk as new consoles and PC cards hit the market, it'll be one of the best experience to test drive your new hardware.

Try in the BST thread. I was able to pick up two 12 month codes for $44 each yesterday. And to double confirm I was able to convert that to GPU here:

Love the podcast, I've discovered a weird trait about myself because of it. I will wait until there are two episodes out, so if I want to watch it, I have a spare one to watch at any point and shorten the time until the new episode lol.

You know, with the base, the PS5 vertically might actually take up essentially the same footprint as the XSX. Even with both horizontal, the XSX might not be significantly thicker because of the added base (which the official dimensions do not account for). I don't think it's THAT big of a deal one way or the other, but uhh yea. I imagine there are going to be some annoyed PS5 owners come launch day when they realize that the weird shape and dimensions means they mismeasured.

Sidenote: this art style is really cute haha. I like it. Were that all our electronics look like this, I may actually be more excited about this next gen ;)

Why would you post this here after you walked back your comments on the other thread?
Why are you assuming I say this in a negative light?

DF said the dev kit is a change, it's newer and for some developers has to be re learned. It helps explain why there's such a lack of Series X footage. Doesn't mean it's not frustrating.

Interesting you pick this post rather than the dozens or so others asking for Seres X footage 2 months prior to launch...
