roses are red tech news is blue
wd lord that's an old reference e3 is
all about the games but microsoft took some time to talk specs for its next gen
xbox codenamed project scarlett
so they did it at e3 with the candlestick right no not okay uh the
console looks like it's going to finally incorporate some real pc like features
on top of being four times as powerful
as the current flagship xbox one x
scarlett is going to offer up to 120 frames per second up to 8k resolution
and apparently a custom SSD just like
sony's next gen playstation of course that mention of 8k
most likely just means that the box supports 8k output through its HDMI 2.1
port but who knows maybe microsoft and sony
traveled into the future a few years and brought back 8k gaming technology
yeah it's possible what's also possible
is that the console will get this big performance boost they're claiming
thanks to its zen 2 based CPU and navi
based GPU hardware which actually the latter will apparently have ray tracing
support no word yet on pricing but the console is supposed to be out for the
2020 holiday season you gotta love all the like baseless
hype that these companies try to drum up for a next-gen machine it's like we
haven't built one yet but like it's gonna be great it's gonna be so good
it's basically kickstarter it's the best one we've ever made speaking the best
things ever made one thing microsoft surprisingly didn't talk much about was
that cloud gaming thing that they made the
streaming service that they're going to be stepping into the ring with against
google stadia and playstation now microsoft did mention that players could
use their home xbox console as a personal streaming server but it isn't
super clear what that is or how much internet
bandwidth you would need to reliably access games from your own console
remotely or from microsoft's servers
either so this tracks well with rumors indicating that microsoft is taking a
hybrid approach rather than completely relying on their own server blades in a
data center somewhere now we might actually see some more changes to the
service before it reportedly launches in october but project x cloud was
originally supposed to rely on xbox one s hardware and now it appears that it
should rely more on the next-gen scarlet consoles so
i guess we'll be streaming 8k games over
5g with ai
in no time we'll be
of course there were plenty of game announcements as well with one of them
being halo infinite yes my friends
microsoft continues its proud tradition of not knowing how to number things this
is the infinite halo so this is going to be a launch title for the upcoming new
xbox we're apparently getting yet another gears of war release as well and
in what might be a slightly more exciting piece of news we finally got a
release date for cyberpunk 2077
april 16th 2070's just kidding 2020
and it was revealed in a trailer that is going to be featuring featuring
piano free tr freaking reeves keanu
reeves although i don't think he ends up doing any like
kung fu or anything uh other notable titles include elden
ring which is a collaboration featuring game of thrones author george r.r martin
because he doesn't want to just finish writing the books ever as well as our first look at gameplay
from star wars jedi fallen order and in a surprising move there's a blair
witch game coming out i didn't see this does anyone need to see this i mean what
is it just like fear but with like shaky cam bad things
are happening actually fear already had gm and fallout 76 is getting a battle
royale mode called nuclear winter
because apparently this game can survive the nuclear blast that was its horrible
launch got him boom roasted now it's time for quick

the link below on to the wigity wax samsung has released their first monitor
with g-sync which could be great news for team green fans as samsung has long
been a popular choice in monitor land but until now has only used AMD's
freesync the crg5 features a curved 1080p va panel
so it's not that fanciest thing out there but you do get a 240hz refresh
rate so you can pick one up right now if your current monitor just isn't cutting
it you know cutting like screen tearing
it's a display technology joke
gamer fuel isn't exactly a new way for beverage companies to take your money
but now razer is apparently throwing their offering into a nalgene bottle
near you with its own drink mix called respawn reportedly there won't be any
taurine in the drink to help avoid crashes during long gaming sessions and
razer is even offering an official bottle if you really want to show your
brand loyalty hopefully it won't
fall apart if you shake it too vigorously there's a new version of the xbox elite
controller with more customizable features for the gamer who finds that a
bog standard controller just won't cut it you can adjust the tension on the
sticks now as well as the travel distance on the trigger for quicker
firing in FPS titles it also comes with more thumb sticks and paddles and can
save up to three count em xbox
360 one three different profiles that's how they
count although the new project scarlet xbox
isn't due out for another year and a half you can pick up the elite controller 2 starting on november 4th
just in time to sit around and game and get fat during the holidays
speaking of getting fat you might not be able to fit onto a boeing 737 max but
that might not matter if what's happening at american airlines is at all
reflective of the larger situation the company has apparently pushed back the
plane's reintroduction until at least september although boeing has fixed the
computer issues that led to a pair of crashes allegedly testing isn't quite
complete yet so you might have to settle for overpriced drinks on an ever so
slightly older and less crash-prone plane instead
