blocking plates use offer code Linus to get 10 percent off and get free worldwide shipping keep your wallet bulge down today before we start i talked about this in the ShortCircuit video but one of the things i like so much about the series x is how even if you've got like a media console that's not designed for standard home theater width devices for example this thing is going to fit perfectly like here let me get my vr like boom easy peasy all you got to do is pull a Linus and uh put like ventilation fans into your into your cabinet if you want to see impressions of the console physically go check out our ShortCircuit channel today is all about the gaming experience so both consoles are off and of course our first test is gonna be to see if that brand new super fast SSD velocity architecture helps it boot up faster three two one go oh i totally schooled you oh wow i was way ahead of you yeah but we don't have a signal yet smart guy oh oh who's got a signal now did you press the same time oh yeah look at that last generation 4k marketing oh yeah tips only 53.35 sup l although we did discover that when the console is sleeping it's actually almost the same so this is only going to be applicable when you're booting cold oh i'm in game day wow did that just quick resume yeah from cold off yeah wow this is freaking this actually looks really good okay let's see how many kills i get by the time you're in game you know what's pretty cool um even though i'm as you guys know kind of more of a usually i play games on pc when i'm gonna play games type of guy that was a lot faster than any gaming pc that i've ever used to go from not playing a game to playing a game oh yours looks like dog crap why are you sure you're even running at 4k i think it is very fair to say that that is pc quality i don't feel like this is a compromised experience right now i mean other than this but like look how squishy that i'm in 4k that is disgusting like who can game like that all right so let's see it then apparently this is in fact 4k it's just gross roadie 4k because everything looks not just soft but less defined when we look at them side by side holding still like this the differences in image quality are kind of subtle i guess like it's mostly down to the lower rendering resolution on the xbox one x where you really notice it is when you're running and gunning around because this is a dynamic resolution game so what it means is that the render quality can actually go up and down depending on the intensity of the action that's why from the couch i wouldn't be able to tell the difference between these two now but when we're running around it's a night and day difference we're not going to focus too much on the differences in the interface just because this is not final software so it wouldn't be fully representative of what you guys are going to get at home wait for the full review of the xbox series x for that not every game like do maternal on the one x is going to you know run smoothly but just dynamically change the quality monster hunter world for example here does not run smoothly on the xbox one x the difference between them side by side in terms of image quality i wouldn't say is um that big well that's actually no i think there's some auto HDR happening on the series that makes it look way nicer do we have variable refresh rate enabled on here let me just have a quick look at the settings allow variable refresh rate no variable refresh rate is not enabled so what that means then is that that smoothness that i'm experiencing is definitely just the series x being that much more freaking powerful than the xbox one x i think a lot of people are gonna be replaying their favorites on the new console this is a totally different experience from just uh i don't know just my state of mind well it gives you a reason to buy it at launch there may not be new games that you're excited about yeah it just makes your other games better so why wait backwards compatibility was a really good move let's go to an old xbox 360 game to see how the auto HDR feature works well the thing is microsoft has said it's going to work in all games except games that they deliberately take off the list because they don't think it looks good to their credit they didn't overdo it i can definitely see some mistakes like where the HDR effect is too strong and you end up blowing out the details a little bit but what's interesting is that those same details are blown out for you as well so that seems to be an artistic choice that just hasn't aged well as opposed to a flaw in the HDR conversion NVIDIA recently has made a ton of noise as part of their push for ray tracing in their marketing about how lighting can make such a big difference to the perceived realism of an image and this doesn't have retraced lighting or anything like that but HDR really is all about the perceived lighting of a scene and you can really see a difference in our character here this one looks more lifelike and this one looks flatter and more video game charactery you can really see it on the metal hey of course quick resume is only a factor if it's a game you played relatively recently so i intentionally fully closed final fantasy 15 before this test ready and hey we managed to press it at exactly the same time this time and you're already behind oh okay hold on so my bar's left you're already 30 james barr's leg man you're done you're done wow i'm not even where your bar started you know what i'm really excited about though is now that consoles have fast storage game developers are gonna be like oh yeah we could like make loading times faster that would be no if you have a fast CPU and you can decompress everything real fast it's going to be great it's going to make waiting for that dude who has a hard drive when you play online way worse oh totally you know what i mean do you remember when uh mini games while you were loading applications used to be a thing they might return now in this particular game i am not uh having the 60 FPS experience that is terrible why would they do that because lock 30 is better than like jumping between 35 and 40. not if you have variable refresh rate oh my god look what's going on around my hair is that is that happening on yours i think so i think this just that's just yeah that's not very good um you know what this is the least impressive demo i've seen so far it just goes to show how the difference between the two consoles really is going to depend on which game alright now that you've opened up a bunch of games give us a demo a quick resume let's go back to do maternal boop the icon 12 13 14 15 16. that's pretty cool less than 20 seconds hold on a minute we've only got nine games installed and we're using pardon me 28 of our storage is that with the extra one terabyte storage stick in it wow and most of these games aren't even next gen games people are going to be upgrading to those two terabyte storage units like real quick styles so yes the next gen consoles are priced very reasonably but at the capacities that we're gonna need for next gen games storage has become not only the central component of the performance and the story from both sony and microsoft it's by the time you're done it's gonna be half the price of your console in fairness next gen games aren't supposed to have to optimize for super slow media so they don't have to have multiple versions of an asset for you know every level for example like the same dumpster or what what did mark cerny refer to as like a stop sign or a garbage can or something like that something like that so they should be smaller in that sense but knowing game developers the projects are gonna continue to get more ambitious so that's not gonna that's not gonna save us for long our pc users all of a sudden then going to be bragging about like our hybrid storage like tiered storage well you already can just grab even a hard drive an external hard drive and just dump all your old games on there the loading times won't be as fast but you can run them off of there and just plug it in the usb port on the back that's a very manual process though compared to what you can do with something like primo cache for example where you've got an SSD and a hard drive layer and it just automatically elevates or promotes or de-promotes whatever you're using most frequently so then again i mean there's no reason these are just pcs there's no reason sony and microsoft couldn't build such functionality with an external usb drive hint wink wink nudge nudge so i'm impressed because this is a total experience changer even if the games don't look that different although it's not going to be for everyone and
