They would know what they are getting in their allotment by now (and probably actually have it) and if you weren't getting one would have notified I would imagine.

I wouldn't read too much into this. Most Amazon preorders I've done have changed pretty late in the process. I think it happens when your warehouse gets the item.

Edit: Microsoft has announced which streaming services are available for the Series X and Series S launch next week. It's everything on Xbox One currently with some new apps launching across both current generation and next-gen consoles, including Apple TV.

Wtf, how long has the Xbox been able to record clips longer than 5 minutes so long as you set the capture location to an external device? Other than specific games not being available on it that's literally the only thing that's been stopping be having the Bone as my main console. Goddamnit.

I know it's mostly handicapped due to hardware limitations but hopefully the series x caches more of your gameplay to record after the fact. Would also be nice if it didn't lock all the captured footage to 30fps too.

Being able to capture the last minute or two has been useful but being able to go back and pull a few clips from say 60min of footage would be a lot easier than mashing the guide and X over and over if you're on a hot game of COD or something.

Same.

Also, I was a member of Prime when I ordered and did the free shipping thing—but I've since closed my membership, which means now I'm (probably unnecessarily) worried about the whole thing going tits up.

I get that you are/were a dev which is interesting if the former that you presumably have been working on games for the series X but don't know about system level things like this.

I remember games could trigger their own recordings and stuff in the early days of this gen. Bf4 recording a 30second clip when you leveled up was stupid because usually levelling up itself wasn't during an intense battle or anything, and, they hosed yo the progression system triggers so it would always be a level up notification at the weirdest times.

A racing game saving a capture of you beating your best time is something that'd be actually cool if the system cached enough footage. Or COD when you get play of the game or a multi kill or something too.

There's good ways to do this stuff but it seems like one bad implementation turned everyone else off it.

I clip the last 30 seconds of all my warzone wins cause it feels like something crazy always happens and it’s fun to share with friends who were there. They should have it trigger the clip automatically when you win one.

Also, my preorder from Microsoft just charged my card. It’s happening. 😌

Ha that’s a fun one, I don’t think I even remember a 360 webcam.

In a similar vein, I liked on NintendoLand on Wii U there was a game where one player uses the GamePad and looks at that screen while other players all use wiimotes and look at the TV. If the single player doesn’t look up at all, they won’t realize the camera on the gamepad has been broadcasting them to the TV the whole time.

It’s not banned it’s been refused classification, which means it’s either effectively banned (:v:) due to content or someone hosed up submitting the paperwork.

Res will drop to 1080p at times, and it's not 60fps locked either, so fair warning on that.

It's believed the Series S version will drop to 720p.

1584p on the low end for the One X, according to DF.

The Series X version is also still 30fps locked if you're playing the campaign split-screen.

Visual differences are pretty minor for the most part, there's ray-traced reflections and illumination, some higher-definition textures here and there (which may be more a case of them putting the effort into making them for this release as opposed to the One X being actually unable to handle them), and some slightly better shadows.

The multiplayer is 120fps on supported displays, as announced earlier. It wasn't locked for DF but that could be because of extra strain on his system because he was playing with CPU opponents and not actual online players.

Eh? I read that earlier and I'm pretty sure the low end was 1080 on both One X and Series X.

Edit: yeah

quote:

To get the basics out of the way first, Gears 5 retains the use of dynamic resolution scaling, but based on pixel counting a selection of shots, it seems to average out at around 1728p during gameplay, with full 2160p manifesting in less busy situations. Interestingly, the lower bounds is still 1080p - just as it was on Xbox One X - but it's extremely uncommon for resolution to hit this level. By comparison, Xbox One X could drop to near 1080p much more often.
...

We don't yet have a Series S console but we were told that Gears 5 maxes out at 1440p on the high-end suggesting an average resolution somewhere between Xbox One and Xbox One X while still hitting the same frame-rate targets as Series X.
