Xbox Series S/X: Thread 03

YOU CAN SEE DOWN CORRIDORS!!! I'm so jealous if only other systems let you see down corridors, god dam Microsoft with its exclusivity on seeing down corridors.

Its been the exclusive feature of the generation for sure.

AMD Corridor FX technology makes it possible.

All i can say is i cannot wait to see Halo Infinite’s corridors. No doubt it was the reason for the delay to get these exactly right. You can’t have worlds best corridors on the box and not have the worlds best corridors.

[endo]

And the flops. They packed so many flops in there you can technically have infinitely long corridors.

[Neon Ignition]

I still remember the furore across the internet when they released the first footage of Halo Infinite and people couldn't believe it when it showed two adjacent rooms and no corridor connecting them. It's insane MS thought that was suitable for a new console, it's good they're taking the time to go back and put corridors in to every possible space in the game. Otherwise, what's the point of the system?

[Cassius_Smoke]

At this point Halo is going to be like the 'backrooms'. Just endless string of corridors, all lovingly ray traced and flop'd.

[fishbowlhead]

At least MS can happily avoid any lawsuits now with having the best corridors. You just can’t put that sort of thing in adverts and not deliver.

[randombs]

I figured a gaming forum would appreciate wide open spaces in games, but you’ve all got tunnel vision.

Dolby vision arrives on Xbox. Again, this is a nice bit of tech I wish the PS5 had. It just adds a bit more colour spacing and limits black crush on non HDR screens.

I've been trying this out on mine yesterday but my TV doesn't support DV at frame rates higher than 60, so it's a trade off between it and normal HDR at 120fps.

It definitely adds some punch to the visuals though so I think depending on the title you'd switch back and forth, unless of course your TV can run it at 120 with ticks across the board.

[Atticus]

Is Dolby Vision available for UHD films or just gaming?

[CMcK]

It's only for games at present. Shame really as it would be beneficial for UHD playback too.

Surprised it needed clarifying but here we go anyway

I have emerged from the corridor to the outside. Hyrule field also seems wonderful. But I might go back inside to look at some more walls and stuff first.
