Man i dont know what to do, I wanted to build a new pc next fall because my 2500k and 970 are getting beyond potato, plus I want to try VR. But it sounds like even a top of the line rig built now may not be equal to the XSX? Like how badly inflated is pc hardware if it can all be put in a 500 dollar(?) box.

Next year I wanted a Ryzen 4000 series cpu, 32 gigs of ram and whatever 700 would buy me in a 3d card.  :( I mean im guessing that pc will be more powerful than an XSX but man I was spoilt by the weak hardware of consoles this gen, this is like back to when the 360 launched and it was pretty  :hyper for 6 months or so.

Either there's some caveat with this machine or it launches at 599 or even 699.
There's no way to do a 399 or 499 box with those specs if they pan out as expected.

There's probably a cheaper 4TF model for 299/399 and this 12TF model for a premium of 699.
Playstation 5 will probably drop right in the middle at 499 or something. Maybe a cheaper configuration for 399.

Microsoft got extremely lucky that for the first time in a long while AMD didn't shit the bet with their new CPU's. Ryzen is going to be the real game changer.
The Xbox One Series X will basically be a Ryzen 3600 with a GPU comparable to the 5700 and hardware Ray Tracing added plus a fast SSD.

If you snag a 3700X and a 2070 Super instead your PC should already outperform the Xbox Series X.
As it is a year from release by the time it comes out there's probably a more advanced PC GPU out there that completely smokes it.
Still, it's a much better spec than the Xbox One was at the time of launch and that means way better use of comparable PC hardware too.
I hope we're finally seeing some improvements in AI and the likes now that we're not longer strapped to the shittiest line of notebook CPU's since the Intel Celeron.

I think the reality with consoles is they just have a lot less overhead than PCs.

An X1X seems to me that it punches way above its weight class for its GPU and CPU.

still has two hdmi ports for tv stuff but no kinect or normal usb port on the back. i guess that means kinect is dead unless they allow it with a usb-c converter

As it stands right now, the series X features, on the back of the hardware, two USB-A ports (of the SuperSpeed variety), ethernet, a single HDMI port, optical audio, and a power connection. There is also another port on the back that may be used for debugging but there wasn’t an agreement on the nature of its functionality. The image at the top of this post shows a basic outline of how those ports appear on the actual hardware.

Also, on the back of the device are openings for air intake as well; all of the ports are located on the lower half of the hardware. Keep in mind, there is also a USB-A port on the front of the console but for now, it looks like Microsoft is sticking with the older USB style port.

Doing some reading, Kinects for this gen stopped being manufactured in October of 2018. I don't know if they'd start manufacturing new Kinects if legacy hardware works.

This is also insider information still, nothing official. Insider info for internal stuff is pretty reliable. Anything feature based or even ports on the console won't be forreal until manufacturing starts happening.

and again, like em or not there are X1 games that use kinect so if they want to do full BC it would be nice to have that hardware supported since i already own it and the usb converter

I hardly can believe Microsoft is going to tie another console generation to CPU's that were already shit 10 years ago.
The Xbox One could hardly keep up with the big releases of 2019, like the new Star Wars game and Control. It'll only get worse.

Hopefully Sony isn't doing the same and third parties will do some proper next gen exclusives.

Stuff will maybe run okish on the 1x I guess? Their plan is to already have you invested in their new machines ecosystem since if you've bought one version of the game the other version will automatically be yours/in your account as well. So it's kind of smart for people that aren't adapting right away but also basically tells everyone not to since you can just play everything they release already on your current machine. Weird gamble.

I understand that they want Xbox to be a platform not tied to a singular console.

But I think one of the problems will honestly be confusion of what the Series X is and I feel that it's up to them to really push that this is the next big bad Xbox. Having no exclusives dosen't help. Especially when your competition has such an easy time with branding and has pushed exclusives as it's number one pro.

Console war fanboy logic: "PlayStation is gonna have true next gen games!"

Business logic: "We wanna sell as much first party software possible"

The main difference between this gen and the next will be rendering resolution, load times, and maybe performance. Like, those technical things or issues will be the big ones addressed.

Scope, scale,  game design innovation, every game developer on the planet has had to play around with their own ambition versus budget constraints and time constraints. More RAM won't alter that significantly, a stronger GPU won't alter that significantly, an SSD won't alter that significantly.

The better question is, has Microsoft acquired enough talent to make good games outright. Nintendo developed Breath of the Wild for two pieces of hardware that are quite weaker than a base Xbone or PS4. But design decisions make that game something special.

Microsoft does have a taller hill to climb when it comes to ball swinging because of this, but it doesn't have negative connotation in reality for good games.

Like, if Sony unveils Killzone 5, a Resistance Fall of Man reboot, a fart sniff of God of War 2, an Infamous sequel, and Demon Souls Remake, and they're all PS5 exclusive....

Microsoft buys studios that makes weirder games in the face of criticism based on them being a Forza/Halo/Gears butter churner.

I'm no fan of any of those games, but it's pretty dumb to downplay God of War 2 or a Demon Souls Remake. Lumping them with pretty meh stuff like Killzone and Resistance is kind of disingenuous. I'm not a huge fan of DS and I thought God of War was ok, but they are kind of critical and fan darlings.

Hellblade wasn't. Ninja Theory has been trying to ride the waves of the cinematic games that Sony studios have(maybe too narrowly focused on) perfected. So no, I'm not at all excited about Hellblade 2. And why would anyone be compared to say God of War 2.

And yeah We Happy Few was such a weird game.....that started as a boring ass generic playing survival game that they later tacked on a Bisoshock wanabe too. Albeit very poorly.  There's nothing that tells me Complusion games will make anything even the tier of say a Killzone. Except I guess it will have a unique art style. At least Killzone games look great too.

I mean there's nothing that tells me to not be skeptical of MS here. Ok yeah Sony's studios have basically created a pretty singular formula. But um...if you like those cinematic single player games you are getting the best in the industry. Meanwhile all I'm seeing MS is do is throw everything at the wall to see what sticks while playing catch up. Meanwhile, series like Gears and Halo have become pretty tired and boring. While hell God of W seems to have flourished.

Also I would take an Infamous sequel.

So if God of War 2 was cross gen, PS4 and PS5, would anyone honestly give a fuck besides justifying their own $400 or $500 purchase?

PS4 base: sub 1080p, 30FPS target
PS4 Pro: 4K upscaled 30FPS, 1080p 60FPS locked
PS5: 4K 60FPS

If the game is great, who would give a fuck that some people are playing the version that looks smeared and is running poorly?

 I mean when you scale down for the lowest system, it's going to effect things beyond just graphics and performance.

How is that not true for Fighting games or rpgs?

I mean even in the old days arcade ports would have to take out systems(like MvC's tag in the PS1) or important graphical features(Virtua Fighter ports) to make the ports work.

RPGs are pretty vague but I mean (not excactly an rpg) but the cross gen version of one of those Mordor games had to take out the entire Nemesis system.

So, no it's pretty true that scaling games for weaker systems effects many aspects of games.

And core gamers are simply people who buy video games beyond Madden or just Call if Duty and yeah I'm pretty sure most of them in the console space want to see games at the best of thier means.  I mean honestly after a year or so once people really start moving to the new systems, do cross gen versions of games do that great? Did Blops 3 or Advanced Warfare sell as great on PS3 and Xbox? Titanfall on 360 was a grat port, but did most people care? I doubt Battlefield 4 had a long life on PS3 compared to PS4. Did Square get that much shit for turning off the PS3 version of XIV because it was holding it back? A Grand Theft Auto 5 port continues to sell well probably to people who already had the last gen version because they want a better version.

Mmmmm, you're still using the "hardcore gamer" definition that popped up in the PS2/Xbox/GC era. Where you were a "casual gamer" if you played GTA or Madden a lot.

A core gamer is someone that plays a lot of videogames, point blank. And most of those people suck a lotta dirty ass.

But either way my points have been.

I skeptical of MS's first party output compared to the what you may deem 'safe" and samey output of Sony.

I'm not sure Cross gen games actually have appeal as I believe people want the best version within thier means. And yeah I do think scaling can effect games so I'm unsure if it's actually worth it.

And I can't say if this idea from MS will hurt or help the Series X because as far as I'm aware a console manufacturer hasn't really had it's first party output been positioned this way. But I'm cautious as I kind of already feel Series X is being positioned weirdly.

Most of that is true if the CPU's of the Xbox One and PS4 weren't complete shit and they are. The Jaguar CPU when it came out was just awful this gen has been fairly limited by these shit CPU's.
The Zen CPU's on the other hand are what you want in a console but if you need your game to run on Xbox One/X you can't utilize all the cores.
Engines like UE4 are also moving towards "more cores = better". When devs make cross platform games they have to aim at the lowest spec (Xbox One) and move up from there.
In other words, they can only do what they're doing with the Xbox One X, which is to flick on a few more graphics options. Better CPU's allow for more complex AI's, expanded interactivity of game worlds and much more.
Part of the reason why early next gen games like Destiny and AC Unity ran so poorly was because developers expected better CPU performance across the board.

If they would do Xbox One versions of specific releases such as the new HALO that would make sense. But if there's not a single Xbox Series X exclusive for the first two years and it's all cross platform they're putting severe limits on next gen.
CONTROL for example is mostly a CPU limited game and the Xbox One and PS4 can't keep up (and neither can the Pro and X in certain scenes). A decent 5 - 8 year old Intel CPU is fine with that level of debris flying around. The Jaguar was shit when it launched.

The good thing about the Jaguars being shit is that you can port complex Xbox One and PS4 games like Witcher 3 to Nintendo Switch without having to worry about CPU requirements.
The second good thing is that on PC you don't have to upgrade your CPU for another generation and @1440p you can keep rocking the i7 4790k for another 5 years :lol
The Xbox One > Xbox One X was already akin to only allow devs to port NES games to the SNES.
Now we're talking about a GameCube > Xbox One X type of gap between Xbox One and Xbox Series X.

I really doubt Ryse would have ran on the 360 considering they couldn't get the 360 version going. So much for it being "easy".

No one wants cross gen games. They are a waste of time, resources, and only hold games back and I don't know how you can deny that. Xbox One already struggles with current gen games. How are you as a developer going to push animation, geometry, lighting, shaders, ai, scale, and whatnot on a macheine already struggling. Going to have to compromise.

It's different in the sense that generally once a new console releases cross-gen drops pretty fast. After like 6months to a year.

I didn't buy a PS4 until 3 years in, because I could still play the majority of worthwhile games on the previous generation. However, thanks to BC and upgradable games, a new console could now still be worthwhile even if it only acted as a revision. I.e. even if the exclusives are trash, this current generation still has a huge library of upcoming titles and it wouldn't be bad playing them with less load times and better graphics. Not to mention whatever is left in the backlog.

Couldn't care less about Sony 1st party, excluding things like Bloodborne, Astrobot and SotC once in a blue moon. However, I will main Playstation if it remains the safest place for day1 Japanese support. No way I'm waiting months or even years for the likes of Yakuza, Monster Hunter, Nier, etc. hitting either Xbox or PC. I'm only half-interested in the new MS studios, but I'm open to buying an Xbox if they make good things.

I wonder if we will see games primarily for the Japanese market be held back tech-wise in future games partially because Switch is the best-selling console in their region. I think previous Ps4 development has created some momentum for these series to continue to be on PS4 because the engine already exists there, but I’m sure some bean counter is looking at the numbers and saying “you know, if we are going to have to invest in new engine technology, we need to find a way for Yakuza 8 to launch on Switch”

The bois at DF agree with me that the Jaguar is a piece of shit.
It was a piece of shit when it launched and a bigger piece of shit now.

I will Day One PS5 *only if* it has full, disc based PS4 BC as in I put inside:

- RDR2
- HZD
- TW3

And it works no questions asked.

If it doesn't work then I will wait for FROM SOFTWARE PS5 Exclusive (not found on PC/ Xbox).
Ooh, if PS5 has the same type of BC as Series X where literally everything that ran on the last gen machine runs on the new one and they don't inexplicably remove it later like they did with PS2 games on PS3 that would be a huge tilt in their favor for me. There's some 4 only stuff that I'd not mind fucking with but what's there isn't quite enough to make me cough up 350-400 for a Pro.

Yeah, Xbone just downloads the game from the store + any 4K upgrade patch and just uses the disc as a check that you own it. It basically does that for current gen games too, though for those it just copies the data from the disc and then downloads patches.

also this "cross gen only for 1-2 years" smells like bullshit to me. it's easy to say that now when no console is out, but if the xsx sells like hotcakes then ms is gonna be saying "what's an xbox one?" pretty quickly. sorta like what happened to those ps360 ports of mkx and tomb raider.

even so it'd be easy enough to throw a few cross gen third party titles on there and call it a day. plus some x1/360/og xbox titles and call it back compat for xsx owners while giving x1 owners some stuff.

even if they stick to it for a year i feel like it'd be easy enough to give xsx owners something extra to make sure they feel better about the $500 they spent like a high quality texture upgrade or fps increase if you play whatever 1st party title on xsx. that's what happens for some x1x titles anyway. pretty sure red dead 2 had an extra 20gb download on x1x at launch for 4k textures

Maybe he meant they tested pc build around a jaguar cpu?

No idea if he has a background regarding programming, but he was known for being the 60 fos or bust guy back in the gag days.

CDPR committing to making Cyberpunk cross-buy for X1/XSX. Any dev that doesn't do this is gonna be shitted upon pretty heavily I think.

This fucking thing is going to be $700
People made similar arguments for ps4 with the rumored 8gb gddr5.
I think 499 is a safe bet.

MS has been bleeding so much cash with Xbox, I don't think they give a fuck. Wouldn't be shocked if they go for 450-500 and just take the big L.
