    News New Xbox Series X appears to have leaked — and it comes with a key improvement and a refreshed look

    Makes sense since the series s sold more and it's entirely possible that since Microsoft is waiting an extra year for whatever is "next" when whatever is new launch's they could get rid of the s and know the x down to that price. Waiting until 2025 would allow them to not only leap frog...

    Horizon Forbidden West on PC is one of the best-looking games ever — but I’m having two major issues with it

    Hmm I definitely agree it's solid looking but definitely not the best and Sony definitely didn't have nixxes enhance the visuals over PS5 beyond the ability to pick resolution. The texture quality is essentially identical as is draw distance, lighting, shadows etc. I was kinda hoping for SOME...

    I’ve started sim racing on Meta Quest 3 and I’ll never go back — here’s why

    Yeah my wife had vr sickness within a couple of min in most games thankfully I never have... Iron stomach I guess. We eventually solved the issue by making sure she only played games in a high frame rate (90fps-120fps) that didn't fluctuate a lot. Then we started with her playing till...

    I’ve started sim racing on Meta Quest 3 and I’ll never go back — here’s why

    Remote desktop running on PC and quest over wifi using av1 @ 120 mbps generally always provides a superior experience to a link cable though wifi6 or better may be required but it won't hurt to test on something lower provided signal isn't an issue and even on WiFi6 you should have the PC wired...

    If Microsoft lets Starfield go to PS5, the console war is all but dead — here’s why

    I don't think Microsoft cares about the console war, they are making (at minimum) $360,000,000 a month from game pass subscription and that's just assuming everyone is on the cheap plan. Microsoft will continue to make a console because they are simple gaming devices that just work without the...

    News Forget OLED — Sharp’s QDEL TV could be a game changer for displays

    Didn't sharp also come up with the ultimate in tv tech called CED like 15 years ago but never actually release it? It was also set to debit in small devices and basically was the same thing as this minus the quantum (and misleadingly named) dots

    120 frames per second is gaming’s future — and something PS5 Pro needs to deliver

    That is a big ask even with frame gen considering the CPU upgrade is minimal and likely not even enough for 60fps and that's with ai upscaling using rdna3 with the rdna4 AI block glued on. I'm no engineer but if visuals get a quality boost to even Alan Wake 2's medium/high settings mixed...

    I’m worried the Xbox Series S is holding back true next-gen gaming

    Series s isn't the issue here and Gotham knights was crossgen not so long ago... Plus there's no excuse for it looking worse than Batman Arkham Knight (base xb1 version) so it seems like they need a scapegoat because developers have been scaling games to fit on the massive range of PC's out...

    News 343 Industries can no longer be trusted with Halo — it needs to go

    I'd absolutely agree if they hadn't finally nailed the perfect mix of feeling like classic halo while also feeling modernized. That's not an admirable feat and let's not forget that cods overall feel hasn't really changed much since cod2 launched with the 360. New paint, more pay to win...

    News Elden Ring on PS5 has a major advantage over Xbox Series X

    In what way? There are games that load faster on series x. Essentially they can load data at the same speed. The ps5 is slightly and i mean slightly quicker but not enough to make any real difference. This game loads faster on ps5 because it was developed for ps5 and ported. So that's the...

    News Elden Ring on PS5 has a major advantage over Xbox Series X

    Exactly! I have it on Xbox series x and PC with a 3080ti FTW3 Ultra and I play the Xbox version because VRR makes it feel like it's running perfectly smooth 99% of the time. It's even better if you can use BFI (black frame insertion). I also recommend setting the Xbox to 60 fps instead of 120...

    The Nintendo Direct made me finally cancel my Switch OLED pre-order

    If you really want to play the banjo series Rare Replay is on gamepass. It also comes with Perfect Dark (N64) running at 4k60 with HDR and the textures look significantly better than they did on N64 thanks to the resolution bump and none of that weird N64 smear based anti aliasing lol...

    I’m angry about the Halo Infinite Xbox Series X

    I know it sucks that scalpers have them up on eBay but that's not something for Microsoft to fix, it's for eBay to fix since they don't allow people to sell preorders. The only reason eBay was so proactive with the steamdeck us because they had like 1000 listings within a few min. Why anyone...
