Sure but as a crude example what if one dev masters their games to 1000 nits and another dev masters their games to 10,000 nits? There’s zero consistency when it comes to in-game calibration tools so one could look fine and the other could be completely blown out in HDR10, despite all your console and TV settings remaining the same. 
 

Dolby Vision offers a standard and will hopefully it a lot easier for game devs to achieve consistent results across formats.


I’ll be curious to see if any of them start using it for their non-Dolby SDR output, we’ve started doing it in the film world because it can save a whole load of extra work and hassle when you need to deliver a separate SDR master. 

I don't disagree when they don't allow the system to do the mappings, so it's a good thing!

DV has dynamic metadata whereas HDR only has static metadata so DV can tell your TV how to use tone-mapping on a scene-by-scene/frame-by-frame basis.

Though evilboris reckons it’s just using a static tonemap, and also limits to 60Hz on a C9.

my broader concern is what is the lag like with Dolby vision display modes on slightly older TVs.

That Warface thing in GWG has some nice shooting, but eh, spawn camped in my first ever round so fuck that. 

 

Has it got better then? When it launched it was fucked. Whenever you fired the gun and there was muzzle flash it would cause the game to stutter for a frame or two. Made shooting accurately almost impossible.

Does anyone else notice how much heat the series x pushes out even when on standby?
 

Mine is in a cupboard with the ps5 & switch. I leave the doors open when in use but whenever I open up the cupboard its noticeably warm in there. Touching the consoles the PS5 is always cold but the Xbox is always warm to the touch around the fan opening. 
 

Both are set to use the standby mode where they do updates and stuff in the background. I guess the Xbox just does more work when on standby?

Mine is in a cupboard as well and gets hot when playing but I've just checked it and it's cold. No heat at all. It is hot in there but that's mainly due to the Sky Q box that seems to want to become my default heat source.

Asuras Wrath is 2.99 in the sale. Cult classic. 

It's proper ending is DLC, though and that's not on sale. 

 

Still worth playing, mind. To this day I don't think I've ever played anything as insane as this.

@theredstarcheck in "my games and apps" and look there. Or just see if there's a raytracing option in settings. 


Well I have it digitally and yes it’s definitely for the ray tracing option. 

Switch it on to see it look a bit better then immediately switch it off again so it plays properly.

It's a nice technical showcase for the system at points due to the raytracing. They were close to making a really good game tbh, but didn't. 

 Yeah, they created a gorgeous version of London, but somehow made an incredibly boring game wrapped around it. It just isn't very interesting to explore and the missions are far too samey.

Question.  My mate and I gameshare so have the standard setup, his xbox series x is my home and my xbox series x is his home. No issues works well.  We both also have our own separate Gamepass Ultimate separate subs stacked for 3 years.

 

My Bro in Law has an unused One S that I was considering borrowing and hooking up to a monitor so my kids can play minecraft / roblox etc in the same room at the same time. If i login with my account and just leave it there, will their accounts be able to play online the way they can on the main series X?  I don't really want to go down the route of having to get them separate xbox live  / gamepass for their accounts.

Not all enhanced games show the X|S logo right? Prey and Dishonoured certainly don’t.

 

 That's because they technically aren't X/S enhanced - they are BC games that have auto HDR and FPS boost enabled.

I popped out for shopping at lunch and came across Xbox themed Pringles (which I subsequently bought at a bargaintastic 90p).

 

What drew me was the pad, are we getting the design lab for Series pads coming back soon (there were other colours for different flavours)?

That logo only shows for games that are actually 'optimised' for the systems, which you can think of being full ports to the series systems and can use the full capability. Some games (like Wreckfest, Outer Worlds or Jedi Fallen Order) run in a sort of 'Backwards Compatiblity Plus' mode where they've unlocked the framerate or bumped up the resolution in the performance mode, but it's still the Xbox One X version. 

 

Then as said above, Prey and Dishonoured are different again, they're not patched at all but benefit from system-level fps boost enhancement to the backwards compatibity mode, which is kind of like an official hack.

It was alright. Very ahead of its time. I really liked that it had real car brands 

I agree, but that sort of thing limits future BC. Although cars in Legion were mostly a projection of current brands but future EV versions, I did actually recognize most of them. I think I actually prefer devs taking this approach, unless licensing can now account for us owning content for longer than a console generation.

I don't 100% understand the post but I think so.  It's a non-home xbox like your x and should work the same way.
