I fucking hate console wars and my post history is open for anyone to see that. The fact that we can't have an informative thread like this one without people shitting it up and others going "Oh wow, this will be the new concern" is an example of how stupid console wars are.
Yup, pretty much this and maybe knowing why it is this way. Nothing more.
There are some weird people on here for sure. Some are accusing John of bias because he is stating facts, and others have already guessed the reason is to save on performance(despite no evidence) and that it's the right choice. None of these things make sense.
Are you in MS marketing?
8k games
Can't wait to play Hotline Miami at such a crispy res
It's 8k media, not games haha
If it leaves more available resources for games then it's a good call
I dont mind if their motivation is to give games more to work with
As long as the UI is snappy I dont care

The good news is if fanboys on both sides are calling him and DF biased then he is probably a good source for unbiased news.
It's the world we live in now. Where stating the truth is controversial if it's not something people want to hear.
Are games even memory constrained at this point? Most of the next gen games seem to look worse than at least the best of last gen so I don't think developers need an extra GB or any extra teraflops. Most haven't even reached the full potential of the 2013 hardware.
sure but it's actively having a negative effect on the guy's mental health
too many people here without the proper perspective to discuss DF's journalistic integrity jumping down their throats for saying the most mundane shit
LOL, fine, there are no 8K games, not that it changes my point at all.
Disappointing, but I didn't realize the 1X was only 1080p and think that looks fine at the moment.
Why does it matter what resolution/HDR capability the dashboard has? Y'all sitting there, whackin it to fonts?
If they said "I could care less" then you might have had a point, but no they said it the proper way :)
John on having more RAM for games

Yeah I don't like this at all. I have said before new generations are exciting because everything is new. Not only are they reusing the dash they not even updated it to 4K? Why? Fix this please MS
and the whole reason of more for games, I agree with John, they should have more than enough

I will say that Series X does nothing for me in terms of feeling like next gen, the box is sexy and the fact that it runs cool is amazing, but i'm hyped to play Yakuza on it and that's it lol
PS5 feels like the standard gen leap that we've come to expect, but I understand that MS have pivoted to focus on other areas which is cool

Just busting your chops, all good
To be honest, that has been the case like for everything... like forever
genuinely thought the X1X UI was 4k so not really bothered, doesnt the switch UI output at 720p aswell? probably for the same reason.
I would rather have games get an GB to play around with than a sharp UI tbh, although itd be great if it could change dynamically depending on what was running.

I play on a 4K OLED, there is nothing blurry on the Ui, it is quite simplistic in nature and looks perfect the way it is. I bet you didn't even notice until you were told it was 1080p.
As for Series X, considering g they are saving 1GB just like they were on the One X by keeping it 1080p then I'm all for it. Wonder if that means PS5 has less usable ram for games because of it?
I think I would personally opted to have the extra ram allocated to games instead of the ui. However I can see why Sony opted otherwise, since the UI is/has become an integral part of the experience with these new features build in.
And I mean, that's what John does for a living. Measures things and states facts. It is natural for him to express disappointment with the results of his measurements. But folks here go straight for the jugular and ridiculous hyperbole lol
If that wasn't your intention your original post sure looks like it and nothing you said in your clarification post makes me think otherwise.
Sounds like they have a reasonable justification for 1080p but like John I too feel the Series X should have more than enough resources for Native 4K.
Anyway it's not a big deal, and I'm sure they'll eventually find a way to update it to 4K in the future.
What happens when you go to the home screen, into the settings or the store for example, and leave a game running in the background? Does the game still need the same amount of RAM?
