Is fallout 4 4k60 guys?

I wish they would add in the games library the resolutions/framerate and not just note a game is enhanced or optimised.

 

[LabR@t]

Quite impressed with the s i have not upgrade my pc for a number of years 670gtx so cost of this is very cheap compared to current VGA prices to say the least!

It’s native controller support which makes the Xbox version the choice for me.

Is the S controller any different to the SX? You probably saw I didn't get on with the X one.

30:33 into the video, Major Nelson interviews the engineer responsible for the Xbox wireless headset.

I’m pretty excited by it.

I've just ordered myself the headset in the strength of that interview. It sounds like it's been an incredibly well designed bit of hardware. I can't wait to get it out!

No they're all the same.

 

[Noxia]

********. Looks like I'll have to rely on third party one then if I'm ever to get on with it.

You can use all Elite and One controllers too.

Oh ok, I think the One was ok. It didn't have that weird texture from what I recall and I don't remember it having a loud clicky dpad. I have an unofficial one for my pc I really like but it's wired

 

[Buckster]

I much much prefer the SX controller over One controller

No not yet.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Date not confirmed. Some time next week is the thought.

I liked the size but not the weird grip texture or the sharp bits on the back where it seemed the casing wasn't flush

 

[Kreeeee]

Doom 64 is excellent.

 

[CHokKA]

Doom 64 is excellent.

Does it run fullscreen or in a box?

If you can go wired, the PowerA controllers are half the cost and far better than the Xbone or Series X/S controllers. I can't go back now to an official controller. Sticks are far more resilient with more resistance. No button issues, better triggers and shoulder buttons. D pad is the only area I don't like as much. Also has buttons on the back of the controller to map to other buttons.

I just checked and I think that's what I have. It's this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07DHY6YLM?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

It didn't even occur to me to try it with the SX when I had it.

People keep asking this about games recently. I’ve never seen a game play on a window on my Series console, including Doom 64.

Yeah that's them. My son has this one, which I use....

But I will get the newer version for myself as it has the mute control for the headset on the gamepad, which I really miss from the 360 controllers....

Plus the 2 year warranty, these are a no brainer for me now. Especialy as I don't sit anything more than 1m from my console, let alone 3m.
