The Price Of The Xbox Series S!!!

Image
(Credit: Microsoft) To GOD be all the glory!!! The official price of Microsoft's smaller next gen console, the Xbox Series S, has been released, it will cost $299. The official release date of the Xbox Series S is going to be November 10, 2020.  This could also be the release date for the Xbox Series X. Since the Xbox Series S supposedly has the same CPU as the Xbox Series X (Microsoft's major next gen console), a price of $299 is not that outrageous. Although not all the specs of the Xbox Series S have been officially released, the Xbox Series S should support 120fps at 1440p and have ray tracing plus a 512GB SSD . Having 512GB on a console in this generation may not be very effective, as games of nowadays usually take up about a 100GB of space. There is no disc drive on the Xbox Series S, so it will probably have a removable storage port like the Xbox Series X. If Microsoft added a removable storage port to the Xbox Series S, then you could solve the problem of space by buyin...

The DualShock 4 Works On The Ps5!!!

Image
(Image Credit: The Verge) To GOD be all the glory!!!   Sony revealed on its PlayStation Blog that some of the existing Ps4 accessories will be compatible with the PlayStation 5. Sony also revealed that the officially licensed arcade sticks, flight sticks, racing sticks, The Platinum and Gold Wireless Headsets, as well as other third-party headsets, PS Move Motion Controller and the PlayStation VR Aim Controller, may be compatible with the PlayStation 5. If you were wondering whether you will actually need a DualSense , it seems you would if you actually want to enjoy any Ps5 games. Even though the DualShock 4 controller will work on the Ps5, it will only work on Ps4 games compatible with the Ps5. This makes sense considering there is supposed to be a generational leap from the Ps4 to the Ps5. Microsoft on the other hand says that all existing Xbox One accessories will be compatible with the Xbox Series X. Now when considering the actual generational leap between the e...

It Looks Like The Xbox Series X Will Not Launch Alone!

Image
(Image Credit: PCMag) To GOD be all the glory!!!   It looks like Microsoft's next generation console, the Xbox Series X, will not be launching alone. Two other code names, 'Edinburgh' and 'Count' have been seen in the code of the latest Game Development Kit from Microsoft as tweeted by @bllyhlbrt, whose twitter bio says that he is a software developer, reverse engineer and occasional game programmer. The tweet also makes some references to the 'Xbox Lockhart' which is the supposed codename of the Xbox Series S (rumoured to be a cheaper version of the Xbox Series X). These two code names may not necessarily mean two other consoles but could be Microsoft trying to throw us off the trail of what it's actually planning, or even codenames of future variants of the Xbox Series X. @Kirby0Louise (whose twitter bio says is a developer working on the Void3D game engine for the Xbox Series X) has tweeted that the codename 'Lockhart' could be for t...

The Ps5 May Come With A Robot!

Image
(Image Credit: USPTO) To GOD be all the glory!!! The Ps5 may come with a new and interesting feature, its very own robot companion! In a patent filed by Sony to US Patent & Trademark office, Sony describes an actual robot companion which differs from the ones created in the virtual space while playing various VR games. The robot seems like it is supposed to keep gamers company while they play games as well as exhibit some kind of emotion to either empathize with the user or output reactions against the user. It seems like the robot will exhibit its emotions mainly in the form of expression of sounds. In the supposed console wars that are going on right now between the Xbox Series X and the Ps5, if the Ps5 does indeed include this robot companion as one of its features, it could have a very strong lead. As you probably can tell from the picture, the robot is not really a typical robot, but in a way looks like a cloud with limbs. (Image Credit: USPTO) ...
