DF Face Off: PC vs PS4 vs PS4Neo vs XBox1 vs Xbox1 S vs Xbox1 Scorpio
And NX, right guys?
Right?
(I wonder what DF would do with NX if the daisy-chained supplemental computing devices wind up being a thing)

Xbox One S has additional CPU/GPU power, games can look and run better

was it mentioned if current games need title updates to take advantage of the power boost?

Probably a small clock bump.
They don't have to mention it.

Its likely a specs bump they got for free due to the shrink. They had something similar when xenom and xenos become a soc but had to hardware engineer an artificial bottleneck.
I think this might be a small clock bump, and not Polaris efficiencies since that would require new APIs.

Time for console reviewers to step up their game
I review PC as well. Thats the issue. Especially as it can impact gameplay cycles.
So you are saying old GPUs sell for a nice price (almost like wine that gets better over time), but the Xbox One just rots after a while? Sorry, I'm confused.

Yea, but admittedly I got an incredible deal on my X1, have $300 Dell credit waiting for X1S to hit Dell.com that was free with my new 4K tv, and, to be honest, have no real responsibilities like a house or kid so my money is rent, car, insurance and then hobby; I've spent years working hard and catching up my credit debt so this summer I'm going reckless (within my budget) - PSVR, X1S, few vacations - and coming back to reality come Fall and start saving come Winter.
It's all about living within your means : You can have anything, you can't have everything.
In the short term, I get the cheapest 4k bluray player on the market with HDR gaming(and slightly improved performance on GeoW4) and in the long term I'll buy Scorpio with 4k gaming.

...lacks reading comprehension.
This is AMD's new SoC for 2016. Neo and Scorpio are both 2017 (and now we know why AMD projected so low revenues from their three SoC deals, one of them is the Slim with a much lower price and potentially a redundant system in 2018) which means Nintendo is doing Nvidia. Tegra for the handheld, high powered Tegra for the console for optimal cross platform support.

Come on bro. Don't buy this shit. The S is for sucker.

Hell no! But I did pre order the s controller though.
or it could mean Start realizing that iterative models have now arrived and you're looking at the entry-level model

This is the first thing that crossed my mind. I'll be grabbing one if B/C games (like Reach) actually run as well or better than on 360.
No need to wait!
Yep. I am tired of dragging the giant ass original Xbox One to and from college, and my little sister has really taken to playing it at home. I think I'll probably leave it with her, get myself an S and then jump on Scorpio when it launches.
*shrug*
So it seems like the clock bump is pretty small, if only to manage framerates and dynamic resolutions... probably why they didn't talk about it much.
Nobody knows anything but you know the effect of the still unconfirmed hardware spec bump.

Seriously lol.
Although early Xb1 owners might be pissed if the bump was large enough for parity with PS4.
Isnt HDR for the UHD blurays or video content? I dont think the S is anything UHD other than video...
Sooo, Jeff_Rigby was right? And if he was right about this....oh god...
OT, I will probably flog in my XB1, all of my games and stuff are on an external 4tb hard drive, so I can chop that in, get the XB1s and then Scorpio whenever that comes out and then I can move the PS3 out of the bedroom to the archives and mothball it and stick the 1s in the Bedroom media center.
Sell off my xbox 360s and the Wii and just move to XB1s, Scorpio and maybe Neo, I dont plan on doing PSVR so I don't know if it will have any worth to upgrade, I may just stick to the PS4.
Also any recommendations for a 4k 60+" HDR with a decent panel and response under 2ms for gaming, gears looked amazing on the MS stream, way better than the youtube one and If the S has a slight performance bump and still has TV in then I am going to need something with better performance.

New Xbox One.
Eh, no? Why do you think so?

I don't get it, either. Microsoft has no idea what the hell they're doing.
It's just a hot mess.
I don't really get how people can't get that devs already target several hardware combinations and their engines are already ready for exactly that, so is a large part of the middleware.
I see, I stand corrected then. Now the million dollar question is what's the input lag on TVs when hdr is enabled in games... most reviews test on video but we don't know what the input lag on TVs would be when HDR is enabled. Also HDR are two standards, either HDR10 or Dolby vision, however on UHD blurays, how is this going to be enabled in games?

Like Proelite said it's probably not intended but a free gift from the die shrink. Remember, same thing happened with the 360 S. Only difference I see is that apparently devs can tap into this extra itty bitty boost with these scalable engines.

Microsoft as we love it. People would stop buying the Xbox One until August if this would be promoted.
Mark Rein retweeted the news. (Vice President and Founder of Epic Games )
They should not retweet it. They should steal one and open it. I want the damn pics of the mobo.

How is this news negating that statement?
Nah, I thought the same until someone pointed out that all you need is an adapter that they'll apparently give out for free to those that qualify.
There will be an adapter and someone said it's free for existing owners... don't know if this was confirmed anywhere.
Yeah I am. S this year to replace my OG XB1, and then that will get relegated to second room for Scorpio. That way I've got 2 UHD players capable of sharing the same library of games in different rooms.
Yeah..
