It seems to be that the PS5 won't be locked or a different mode between 4k and 60fps, its very specific wording otherwise.

Seems like grasping at straws, and probably at the most indicates that the PS5 will have a dynamic resolution scaler that kicks in more often than the Xbox One (and with 2 less TF for the same resolution, this makes sense) so maybe the PS5 will have a locked 60 mode at like 1800p or some shit and then a "4k60ish" mode or something, I don't know.
Genuinely excited for this! My girlfriend and I have sunk hours into this world, neither of us with any survival game experience prior to this. Such an enjoyable game and these updates are seriously great. I'm SO EAGER to see these koi fish baby!!!
It could be nothing but just saying grasping at straws seems odd, its very specific wording in the same press release.
I don't know if the different wording means anything (likely not), but this tidbit here is much more interesting:
So MS actively helped them to get the game running as good as possible.
It could be nothing yes. Wording might be that 4k and 60 is a 4k option or a 60 setting at lower resolution. It could just be a marketing thing but the wording might lead to certain choices. Also could lead to 100 page thread about it lol.
Maybe separate modes, one at 4K and the other at 60fps with lower res.
Anyone seen this tweet from DF?
I was sure MS announced recently that Dolby vision was coming?
EDIT: https://www.dolby.com/gaming?utm_so...by&utm_term=edl&utm_content=xbox-announcement
It appears it is??
So what's the context of this tweet? Is Dolby vision only available for games? Will it even impact movies as my Samsung doesn't support Dolby and I don't really buy 4K Blu rays

I wouldn't make anything out of this unless there are other PS5 games listed as "4k At 60fps". And even then I probably wouldn't pay that much attention unless they were other Ubisoft games. Without any of that, this feels like a slow news day kind of post.
So far, 4k UHD blurays on Xbox do not support Dolby Vision. That includes the Series X in its current state.
The Dolby Vision stuff they have been focused on is games supporting Dolby vision.
Yes DV in 2021 on xbox is only for games. There's nothing confirmed about DV for uhd discs playback.
That would be better but I personally still appreciate the classic model.
They've only said it will be enhanced, no specifics yet.
I wouldn't read too much into the wording. Sure, if you took it literally it could mean the ps5 has a 4k mode and a 60fps mode separately... but I would just wait and see once the game is released because it's probably the same targets.
Dolby Vision is supported in streaming apps like Netflix (including right now on xbox one) but not UHD discs for whatever reason. Dolby Vision games is 2021 sometime... Cyberpunk may be the first since it's what they use as an example.
hmmm interesting and very specific wording used?, probably nothing though.
although looking at the below quote for WDL and RT maybe the devs are just highlighting each consoles perceived strengths?
the new Xbox Series X | S; from Piccadilly Circus and its giant digital screens, to Camden High Street's neon lights and holograms, the power of real-time ray traced reflections brings a never seen before level of realism to an urban playground.
PS5
Ray tracing on PlayStation 5 will immerse players in a city full of digital screens, holograms, and neon lights.

Congrats!!! I'm sure did an equally beautiful hurdle over your nearest fence.
Haha yea.. Speaking of, I wanted to engage with that GameReactor interview with Phil Spencer. SO MUCH INTERESTING STUFF IN THERE.
I think my takeaway is that Phil is looking at exclusivity in terms of delivering "Xbox" to as many players as possible. He's not necessarily focused on every individual game, but on bringing as much of the full experience as possible. So, I would not be surprised if Phil allows studios to keep making PSVR games, if to just allow them creative freedom and to keep their VR skills sharp. I wouldn't be surprised to hear a few more games come to Switch. But I would increasingly not expect most games to come to those other platforms until they allow significant hooks into the Xbox platform/ecosystem.
I thought this quote was.. interesting. I find it funny that he's (perhaps unintentionally) listing FireTV above PlayStation and Switch as targets LOL. Amazing.
Philly Spence said:
I also thought his answer to "Will there be more hardware sooner than before" was very enlightening. Seems like it's a pretty obvious "yes", which does surprise me. I expected the opposite because there wasn't a need to upgrade. But, Phil sets up his answer with a preface on how having multiple SKUs is no longer a big hurdle for development. Specifically that the "software layer" is much more impactful on the ease of development across the range of hardware than the hardware itself. It's a very Microsoft/Windows approach that is very much not been the norm for console gaming for forever.
But.. it IS proven on PC, and I can see what Spencer is talking about with games like Gears 5 or their general work with Back Compat. Because those games are "future proofed", they were up and running on next gen hardware automatically, and with significant improvements after just a couple weeks. And because they had high targets to begin with, a few more months were sufficient to take full advantage of the new hardware. Seems they're banking on development being much, much simpler across multiple hardware SKUs thanks to things like GameCore (which Jez has talked about before - though my vague memory was that it was supposed to be different from ERA development. But I know nothing.).
All that said, that could certainly be a controversial choice, and it will all come down to how the implementation works out and how easy it is for devs to use it. If more hardware leads to less support for Xbox players (either in terms of games coming because of more dev work or because some SKUs don't get as much love), then that's a shame and I think a mistake. if it works out... well... that'd be interesting.
Still, grain of salt. That's just my reading of this quote. Definitely not confirmation:
And side note.. I do feel like we're going to see xCloud streaming come to Xbox consoles. Maybe not 360, just because I don't know if the internet holds up there. But... yea maybe. The irony is that many phones are probably more powerful than the 360.. maybe even the Xbox One in some ways. But with better hardware, streaming does get better in performance and latency. So.. I think the Xbox One could be such an interesting platform for xCloud.

I think I may try to get one if the Walmart restock ends up happening during their Black Friday.
I kind of want assassins creed Valhalla to play but I may just do it on my regular Xbox one if all else fails.

nvm look like they private the video or deleted as it was there a couple of minutes ago
Really like the game reactor interview. I specifically liked the Bethesda acquisition answer. I think a lot of people need to understand that these devs are not being driven by Microsoft. They're just going to get more resources. That's it. Phil isn't going to say MAKE FALLOUT NEW VEGAS 2. They're just going to make what they want
Ah, I'm so glad AC Valhalla is confirmed to be at 60. I played the last two (well, I'm still playing Odyssey) on PC at 60, and I can't go back now. That was the deal-breaker/maker for getting it on Series X, so I'll be picking that up on the console now!
I had some moments during Origins where I felt like clearing the local area of icons but yeah, that'll burn you out very quickly.
As for Doomstiny... One Destiny is plenty Destiny enough IMO ;)
Yeah, I did 1 - Brotherhood at release, and then stopped until Syndicate was announced. The only game in the series I don't like is Rogue, but yeah, I just can't play them back to back.
Agree about the hidden blade 1HK, that is a bit annoying. If you've taken the time to skulk around a fort and get in a position to stealth kill everyone, then that should be a viable playstyle.

Xbox Velocity architecture + ML will be amazing when devs will push these tech.
I wonder if the "faster downloads for games" piece in today's article is referencing an advancement where you can play games without slowing down the download speed. On Xbox one, you're talking about a 50% reduction in download speed if you play any title. I wonder if they fixed that
Let's hope it is a locked 60 though. Being this game is 4k and 60 and it is Ubi Soft gives me pause for the frame rate being locked and no frame pacing issues.
Yeah I need to see Halo Infinite multiplayer at this point. The initial reveal and coatings have garnered negative reactions and I'm hoping for a more positive outlook on the game.
