I agree with you. We already knew the series x would be incredible, we hardly need reviews, but the s is something and for players like me it's great, so I'm happy he decided to review that one.
@flekkzo
@flekkzo 3 года назад
Agreed. I’m not the target audience (well I’m getting a PS5 first) as the X simply have so much more (memory, memory, speed, physical media). It’s going to be interesting to see if people go for price (S) and are happy with it, or opt for performance (X). Also, while the S doesn’t seem quite as bad as I would have guessed, I wonder if targeting both S and X will be a detriment or simply the same but X can play it at a higher res/frame rate. The RAM I think might be harder to work around though. Happy I’m not a game developer (for many many reasons. Be nice to them, it’s more often than not a terrible job.)

@@amazingflavour In a theoretical territory where money (and space) doesn't count so much, it'd be interesting to have X at your living room wired to the main high spec TV for new generation games and S at your dorm for retrocompatibility. Something like this would postpone the need of extra storage if you had many games, and have games to come. True life, scarcely it'll happen. Maybe in crowded houses of students or big families with nice incomes.

Right now I don't have the money to buy a whole new display. 120 hz is way more important to me than 4k, so I'm just gonna save money and get the s for now. In a few years there will be a refresh anyway, and 4k 120 hz tvs will be more affordable, so that's when I'll make the jump.

As a PC gamer with limited Hard Drive storage, the "Smart Delivery" feature is one of the most admirable.

It's also to capture the non-early adopters, budget gamers and consumers in countries that can't afford or want to wait for a price drop but wants next gen gaming.

What? Wasn't it a thing on Xbox One S/X and PS4's? It's a handy feature I still use a lot on my PS3 slim. P.D. Ok, now I see that no Xbox has supported HDMI-CEC so far. I'm glad it is now. As I say, it's a simple feature but very convenient, for example: - You turn the console on, your TV also turns on and/or changes to proper HDMI channel. Also the other way around: if you change to the proper HDMI channel, your console turns on. - When you turn off the TV, the console also turns off (unless it's on a game). - Just with the TV remote, you can navigate menus and play/pause video. Specially handy when watching Netflix, HBO... or a BluRay/DVD.

Many over look the fact that you can still use a usb SSD to run xbone and 360 games with no performance loss. You can also use that external to STORE Series S games instead of deleting/redownloading games.. it's much quicker to transfer the files to an external drive than downloading.. it helps to mitigate disk management issues with that 360gb.

Even for the casual gamer, like e.g. if you are a call of duty-fifa player by installing the latest 2 call of dutys means no space left for a fifa. - storage expansion at $210 so sum more expensive than Series X. - back compatibility with One X not supported as Series S has less RAM - Games that will look straight different, like DMC 5 Special Edition where Ray tracing will only be available for the big console and PS5

So the game auto adjusts the quality based of what’s available not what you’ve set it to ?

Guess smart delivery has helped remove the constant changing of picture quality, at least that’s how I’m understanding it.

Reviewers like it because they are testing multiple games at once and quick resume makes switching between games convenient. The average user won't play more than 1 game at any given time and even if they want to, the fast SSDs already lets you boot games much faster than before. It is kind of debatable whether reserving a good chunk of the SSD storage is worth it for this feature when the free SSD space is already so small.

Quick resume should take up less space on Series S. Since it's basically a save state, that means halving the ram should roughly halve the storage footprint. That said, it'd still be nice to see the option to set your Quick Resume game count. Microsoft currently guarantees 4, but I'd love to see the option to decrease that if you're less interested (2 games, for example, would work great for most people to have some storage back), and even to increase it, say if you've bought the expansion card. If you had 1.5 Tb of storage on a Series S, it'd be really cool to use it as a fast back-compat machine with a ton of quick resume games (since it takes half the space, you could crank that number to like... 16 with only 200Gb).

It's a shame that no one has some up with a solution yet for transferring your physical games to digital copies.

Would be nice if Xbox would ship you a box, you stick your games in, and for maybe a flat fee for like $50, transfer all your titles over to your digital catalog. Maybe up to a certain number (30?) so people don't abuse the service too much.

Thanks for doing a great review MVG. I was getting so sick of ReviewTech dumping on the Series S. The Series S is perfect for me because I mainly play Game Pass and pick up a few digital titles on sale.

Thanks for in-depth review. I was thinking about getting an XSX when it gets a discount, but I think I can get an XSS instead.

Thanks for the excellent review, as usual. I'll probably get a series S further down the line. I mostly play on the PlayStation these days, but like you, I have a huge library of Xbox One games.

As a primarily PC player, quick resume is the most impressive feature from next generation. Now I’m wondering why PC doesn’t have it.

it will show up soon enough .but it would be possible on a pc with more Ram right now. but the games are not built with that in mind so we just have to wait for the games to adapt and we will see them all doing it .

I love your videos man and the way you explain everything in detail. All the reviews are saying it’s not good because the back compat isn’t outputting 4k. I don’t know why people are acting surprised now that it’s here. It sounds like an amazing deal for only 299 cant wait to get mine.

Thank you for taking the time and making the decision to review the S. I have been considering selling my One X for the Series S. We have a 4K TV but moved the the XBOX to a monitor which outputs at 120hz and 1080p. I was concerned with storage but in reality my son only plays Fortnite and I play 1-2 games a year, the joys of getting older and never finding the time I suppose.

Having been following these next gen consoles one thing that I find completely counterproductive to being a gamer is people that hate certain brands of consoles just because they happen to like another. I dont plan to buy a PS5 or Series console any time soon since I prefer PC but am as excited as the people who are buying these consoles day one. The Series S, despite its limitations has a place in the gaming industry because it is the cheapest way to get into the next gen. Think of how many new gamers this console will produce whose parents will buy because of its price. Its a good thing. Even though I myself prefer PC and buy consoles further down the generation I realize that more powerful consoles means more hardware demanding games for all of us.

I'm also a PC gamer (and I used to be a huge Nintendo fan,) and I'm still excited about these next gen consoles. What attracts me the most from the Series S? An impressive catalogue of old games (from the OG Xbox, the 360 and the Xbox One) on a $300 console. Some of those older games even have higher resolutions and higher framerates than when they originally came out (including OG Xbox games!)

If they would allow me to plug KBM into my PS5, I wouldn’t request so many of their titles for PC. It’s basically the only draw. Not that making requests is bad, all things considered. I also own a PS4 and have already pre-ordered my PS5, but like you, I’m a PC gamer at heart, so it will always be my first. With all these talks about 30fps during the last generation, I feel privileged to have always played between 60 to 120 fps. Horizon Zero Dawn was my favorite PS4 game, then they released it on Steam, which allowed me to play it with KBM, and I think it’s 10x better. That’s hyperbolic, but it speaks to how naturally I can handle controls with my preferred/first control method. That natural feeling made playing it on PC so much fun! I did get the platinum on PS4, and I’m one NG+ Ultra Hard play through away from getting all achievements on Steam. I love that Sony inspires creativity in its first-party titles, so I love consoles at the end of the day. Just throwin’ this out there, my most “double-dipped” game is Skyrim. Bought it on PC (VR version, too), Xbox 360, PS4, & Nintendo Switch.

Excellent video, thank you for this coverage. I will definitely buy the Series S for Christmas, my scenario is a gaming 1080p monitor with pc, series s and original ps4. I will wait ps5 to launch in a smaller form to update my monitor... IF a future update in ps5 will support 2k resolution.
