It's a marketing investment.
Good with August confirmed. Can't wait for mor nextgen stuff.
My 2017 Sony TV can do 120 hz @ 1080p or 60hz @ 4k.
2019 and 2020 LG OLEDs can take advantage. Starting this year, a large number of other TVs will too - Sony's X900H / X90H this year for example and quite a few high end Samsungs, and by next year more or less every medium or high end TV released will be able to do it. The panels have been able to do it for years, it's been a display bandwidth limitation, which the HDMI 2.1 ports are resolving.

Buy our new console, you can play your old games with an old controller on it, it is amazing!
Wonder when that rumored SoP is suppose to air.I suppose this is August now:

Haha, this and..
this.
State of Play is currently rumored for August 6, but has not been confirmed as of now.
I don't see the waste of resources making backwards compat games etc. run at as high a framerate as possible on new hardware.
I think this event will be more about the console features, OS, hardware, pricing, release date and services than the games.
Which portion of the market had access to HDR screens in 2013 when PS4 launched? What portion of the market had access to HD screens when Xbox 360 launched?
Quote from the FCC chairman in 2005 (the year 360 launched):
120fps is much more achievable in 2020. When I bought my current TV a year ago you could buy mid range sets that had 120fps support.
Their backwards compatibility efforts can't get praised enough. Such awesome work by their teams.
I really hope to see more soon, by both platform holders, there is still so much we don't know!

They're big on the 'feel' message.
honestly I'm not sure emphasising the controllers you already own is that interesting. I'd be ok buying a new controller if it had new useful features, with BC where possible. I'd have really liked to have seen gyro in Xbox just so it might have gotten more traction with third parties.

Feel like pure crap just want e3 back 😢
no seriously we should have been talking about our preorders being paid off by now. 2020 sucks

I meant investing when you are optimizing or developing a game, if you focus on reaching such high framerates, you could use those resources in other graphical aspects, noticeable for the majority.
My comment has to do more with new games than with bc ones.
Xbox One already has 120hz support. For the devs it's just turning resolution down till they can hit that fps output.
Not sure that matters, that number will rise and these games are being future proofed, that's a good thing regardless of where the market is currently. Sits in line with their living library that follows you. Who knows if Devs will be around to tweak thier games (or want to), sensible to do that whilst it's fresh in thier minds.
Thank you for this post. Hard to not feel like a boomer when i read posts like the one you quoted. Making a list of features that were impacting a fragment of the userbase would be kinda long.
Does the rumor originate from Roberto Serrano? If so, I'd be doubtful.
More and more will have access to 120Hz as people upgrade their TVs. It especially makes sense as an upgrade for games like Ori where they've already implemented high framerate support for PC.
I don´t think we are there yet at all. This forum is not representative of the whole market.
Expectations for both Sony & MS August Shows
Neither will be as long as their June/July shows but focus on features and other benefits of said products.
However there will be some new reveals but mostly a focus on expanded gameplay from titles not shown as much as they could've been (Miles Morales).
Don't see either of them have "E3" Pt. 2

As for first party, I think they are emphasizing "native 4K at 60fps", which you can't really do 120fps at native 4K for the vast majority of titles.
Third party I can see them pushing graphics over everything else, potentially at 30fps.
For me personally Sea of Thieves update is the most important as I'm currently leaning to postpone it until it gets RT and frame-rate upgrade.
It could be really important as I know I'm not alone with this wish and game is already huge.
The sentences right after that put that line in context. Anyways I don't see whats bad about high framerates regardless.
Yeah I also think it will be more service focused. For First Party we know Spider-Man for Sony and Halo for MS so far, right? At launch I mean.
Oh that one gets for sure with a patch and more stuff added.
This is more games that work with BC and get a certain boost like some 360 games got a 4k boost.
Not being able to use a bunch of controllers you already own on new hardware is absolute garbage and is overdue in being finished as a thing.
They will show The Initiative's game next month, right? That's one thing I'm looking forward to in August Xbox show.
I'd be more surprised if there wasn't an event in August tbh. I think we're going to see more launch-focussed events, something MS in particular needs given how far out most of the games in their showcase seem to be.
Rumoured where?
I think a Game Awards announcement is more likely (hopefully to be at least in engine like Hellblade 2 last year).
Well, personally, i prefer higher framerates, but i do understand your point. 60 fps is good enough for today's standars where people are still cool with 30 fps and motion blur.
In a sense I'm glad that Xbox is heavily marketing 120fps stuff, because when the Xbox one first launched and was having technical challenges in comparisons we got a lot of "your eyes can't see above 24fps anyway" nonsense in the discourse and now that MS have a console to sell they're putting their weight behind frame rate and both journalists and fans are forced to acknowledge it making a difference. Similarly with 4K and "you realize it's all rendered to 1080p right?" I'm really glad we moved past all that garbage.
