But can it play Halo? Or does the new Halo only run on PC? Will it have content I can't get on PC?

Chris121322d ago

Just enjoy your PC, you already know the answer

bouzebbal1322d ago

It fits well with the lineup is also the quietest ever..

Babadook71322d ago

Quiet while playing current gen games? I would hope so.

GamerRN1322d ago

Babadook my PS4 Pro is a jet engine playing just about any game

bouzebbal1322d ago

Lol more quiet than switch? Impressive indeed 🤦‍♂️

anast1321d ago

Bouze and Chris get it.

This is the actual definition of irony.

CaptainHenry9161322d ago (Edited 1322d ago )

Hmm Microsoft hasn't shown one next generation game running on the Series X yet? I wonder why? I'm curious to see how it looks and runs

CaptainHenry9161322d ago

Its OK. We did see Halo infinite. It looks decent

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1321d ago

Can’t the same be said about the PS5’s UI and other operations of the console?

@Anast

Yes the machine will play Halo show me one Xbox that can't play Halo besides a machine with a burnt out disc drive, a RROD 360, or a disc scratched all to hell. Master Chief not appearing on an Xbox console is like Mario not appearing on a new Nintendo console.

GamerRN1322d ago

If you like your 2000$ PC, sick with it. If you want a bargain at $500 that plays 4k games amazingly, Xbox Series X is for you.

Also if you okay OC, why are you here? There isn't much PC news on this site ya troll...

BrainSyphoned1322d ago

@RN
1. All Xbox news IS pc news
2. There is plenty pc news on this site from tech reviews (3080 ring any bells?), mod coverage, epic/steam opinions galore and much more.
3. The Digital Foundry hands on makes the SX seem way closer to my 8 year old PC than I thought it would be. You just can’t magically make console only titles instantly better because they were built with blinders on one or two specific pieces of tech. PC on the other hand still does let you do that with either in game options or mods. Stop throwing random $2000 figures around that aren’t based on reality.

Well, all the Halos on MCC haven't been released yet for the PC version, so yes, it can play Halo, and yes, there will be content you can't get on PC.

Rhythmattic1321d ago

At least we know Craig will be there for all to enjoy.

DJStotty1322d ago

Your comment makes no sense.

Unless your asking about PS5? In which case no, it will not play Halo.

gamer91321d ago

Microsoft doesn't care whether you play your games on Xbox or PC, as long as you get gamepass to play xbox, EA, and bethesda games, among others

I like the fact that they spent some time with the vent. Sticking pencils and straws through it.

I was afraid that the Series X and PS5 will be mini heaters (like the fat PS3). I’ll make sure I use it in an area that air can flow.

gold_drake1322d ago (Edited 1322d ago )

honestly, the ps4 pro was warmer than the fat ps3, cozy in ehm... colder times haha not even kidding.

Sirk7x1322d ago

Sometimes, I get concerned for my PS4, with how loud and warm it gets lol. And yes, I do clean it.

Rhythmattic1321d ago (Edited 1321d ago )

I guess I bought a later revision... Only because my release PS4 Karked it with the humidity factor. PCB was rusted az fk,,,,,.....Still got a good trade though....
Its def way less noisy than my farts.

Games1st1322d ago

The heat goes through the top

JayRyu1322d ago

Sounds great!
(Pun intended)

Gardenia1321d ago

Only for BC games. No Next gen games available yet so we still don't know how the sound is with a full workload.

JayRyu1321d ago

We'll have to see about the next gen games but so far so good. RDR 2 makes my PS4 pro sound like it's about to take off of a run way!

averagejoe261322d ago

That's the best headline after having hands on? Oof.

Sitdown1322d ago

It was a dig. I believe they were trying to say that after reviewing, which everyone knows it's a very scaled down review, that's it's not good that the take away was that it's quiet.

oof461322d ago

@Sitdown: I know.

Actually a lot of interesting info in the article. Dude is just commenting on the headline MARQUINO chose. It's not the one on the actual article.

UnHoly_One1322d ago

If you bothered to click the link you'd see that isn't the real headline from Ars.

Whoever posted this took a line from literally the final paragraph of a huge article and made it their headline.

Making up a headline is grounds for being bashed

Microsoft proved that they really handled powerful hardware and efficient cooling design with the One X. I never doubted they could do it again!

Would It Have Even Mattered If Redfall Were Good?

Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.

Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.

There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life

jwillj2k412h ago

No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.

Profchaos3h ago

Pretty much no game in Bethesda stables makes cod numbers instantly even fallout 4 Bethesda's best selling game sold 12 million at launch and over the next 10 years climbed to over 32 which cod would do rapidly

CrimsonWing6911h ago

I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’

franwex11h ago

Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.

Exvalos11h ago

No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.
