Or my VPN fucking with me like usual. I often forget to check that.

4K doesn't work on Safari, since 4K video on youtube uses VP9 exclusively, and Safari does not support that.

I was on Chrome. I'll try to watch tomorrow without the VPN active to see if that was the issue. I'm back home now on a 3G cell connection, so it's not happening tonight.

Am I missing something? That video is only at 1080.

Youtube doesn't offer 4K playback in all places. I have no idea how to enable that on desktops. Maybe it's chrome only.

Sorry Microsoft, but it's like I said, if I'm gaming 4k, it'll be on PC. That Destiny 2 looks quite nice. Probably still gonna stick with Xbox, but we'll see.

Xbox One "X"?

Are you fucking kidding me?

How did the meeting for that name play out?

*Just a bunch of 40, 50 year old stuffed suits sitting around a conference table, all with thoughtful looks on their faces, silent for minutes...*

"...how about....X?"

"Oooh, X is good!"

"It's always been a favorite letter of ours."

"Brilliant, Peterson! You deserve a promotion! Guess we can call that an early lunch!"

*All the executives pull out small glass panels and briefcases full of cocaine*

There is NO creative thought process left in the world, NONE. Are you telling me that for four years(it has been four years, right? I'm trying to find the first PS announcement, but I don't seem to see it) of development and engineering, and worldwide input, the best fucking thing you can come up with is ADDING AN X?!

XBox One X

X
Box
One
X

"How long have you been planning this pun?"
"Ever since you let me name the XBox One."

The Xbox is literally all over the place. Including repeating itself.

So I run games at an Nvidia half refresh rate vsync thing. If I had a 4k thingy I would do the same.

I do this too.

Let's see what Nintendo has to offer us tomorrow!

If the trend continues, it'll be the Nintendo Switch hctiwS (except, you know, upsidedown and whatnot).

There's probably a point about differing perspectives in there somewhere, I guess. At least it goes to show how difficult doing a presentation like that must be.

Hey, remember Scalebound?

And how many years are they going to tease us with Cuphead. Septemeber? Pfft, I'll believe it when I see it. Fun fact, the visuals of that game aren't artistic...it was actually started in the 1930's.

Weren't we supposed to get a Game Preview of DayZ 2 years ago? (speaking of which weren't we supposed to get DayZ on PC like 5 years ago?)

Most of the games that were in the MS briefing, I responded..."what the hell was that?" *cough hipster paper rock n roll astronaut cough*

Some of the most fun gameplay happened in that quick "Games with Gold" montage (cmon...you know they will be.)

Hey look at that new Porsche...it looks exactly like every Porsche. How appropriate for Forza.

And good grief...a guy got ripped in half! WTF SoD2!? Unnecessary!

What was that game where the dude shot a bear monster off a cliff? I fell asleep 27 minutes into him gently meandering about and woke up to that! Sheesh!

Not even a Halo mention? I've lost interest anyway...but...cmon MS! Whaddayadoin?

Anthem: Looks gorgeous. Looking forward to the invisible barriers not letting me go to there.

My final takeaway - XOX looks pretty but there isn't much worth playing on it (exclusive wise)

I think you're right though, about the xbox...it's confusing. (starting with the naming of the original One)

I'd argue that the problem started with the 360. Not because "360" itself was confusing - it wasn't, at least when it and the plain "XBox" were the only ones in existence. No, 360 wasn't confusing by itself, but it created a problem, which was... where to go? What do you call the next one after "360" that can create any obvious link/lineage? I mean, you can joke about calling it XBox 720, but that's not REALLY going to be the name. So you end up having to call it something completely unrelated, leaving you with 3 consoles whose names aren't clearly related. Someone not already familiar with the subject probably wouldn't be able to tell which order those 3 came in.

They should have just called it "XBox 2."

No judgment from me, but it was readily apparent to me that those are the players talking and not the characters.

I also don't really get the hate for it. Yeah, those lines are stilted and bad, but I've had nearly those exact conversations with people in Destiny on multiple occasions. Talking about drops, talking about activities to do, talking about farming XP or glimmer or planetary mats, etc.

It wasn't the lines that bugged me, it was their source. When I first watched it, I heard the actual characters saying the lines. I was not hearing people playing the characters saying that. That is what bugged me. Once I was hearing that it completely took me out of the atmosphere.

If it was obvious that those lines were comeing from people playing the game, I would totally understand. But in Anthem, I couldn't tell that at all, I thought these characters were acting like gamers and they knew they were in the game. That's basically all I'm saying :D

Seems like a committee decision to me, meaning they couldn't decide which demo to do (the atmospheric one that sets the stage for a cool story or one with gamers having fun), so they did both.
