Ahead of the start Xbox series x and Xbox series s Western journalists released review materials on the new consoles Microsoft… Edition VG24 / 7 collected different opinions in a general note.
Technical team Digital foundry I was pleased with the impressive features Xbox series x, but stated that at the start of sales, a technically advanced system simply cannot demonstrate its full power, since its library is devoid of expensive and large new generation developments from internal studios Microsoft…
“Ultimately, I think Microsoft has been able to deliver a truly outstanding next-gen console with Series X. But it won’t showcase all of its strengths at launch. This is partly due to the lack of games from in-house studios. on the other hand, it needs to take into account Microsoft’s desire to develop its gaming systems in a systematic and evolutionary way, which is somewhat different from Sony’s leap forward and revolutionary approach with its PlayStation 5, “said Richard Leadbetter of Digital Foundry. …
A similar rhetoric was noted and John Warren from edition The vergewho devoted much time to laudatory odes towards iron Xbox series xoffering many features inherent in PC, but in the end settled on a simple thought – new games are vital for the console.
“I still have one, but a very big question regarding the future of the Xbox Series X – when will Microsoft’s internal studios (and there are already 23 of them) present us with next-generation games that will really show what this device is capable of? Powerful hardware and a user-friendly interface are is just one part of the console. In order to present Series X as a completely new product, Microsoft needs to release more games, “writes Tom Warren of The Verge.
In turn, the resource CNET spoke positively about the model Xbox series s… According to the journalist Dan Ackerman, it is a worthy proposition against the background of its older brother, but at the same time it costs much less.
“If you think that $ 500 is not the amount that is worth spending now, then I’m happy to inform you that the younger Series S model made a great impression on me. In addition to its modest size and, in my personal opinion, more aesthetically attractive Appearance, the Series S retains almost every key aspect of the Series X, and you only have to pay $ 300 for it.
I played the same games on Series X and Series S on my 65-inch LG OLED and could barely notice any difference. The Series S does not have a disk drive, but you already know my attitude to disk drives – I am an advocate of avoiding such mechanisms, which are often prone to breakdowns. ”
Kat Bailey from the portal USGamer in his note agrees with colleagues and is waiting for the appearance of new products for Xbox series xclosely watching how Microsoft is going to evolve in the upcoming console generation.
“Xbox Series X still lacks some real hit. Microsoft suffered from the same problem in the previous generation. And the much-touted Quick Resume feature does not work with all games. I want to look at the future of the console with optimism, but for now, perhaps the best option before investing in an Xbox Series X is to wait and see how the system develops further. “
Editor MCV Seth Barton also did not distinguish himself with special originality, assuring that Xbox series x – this is a huge step forward, and it remains only for a powerful set of games.
“Yes, before us is evolution [предыдущих консолей Microsoft], but the Xbox Series X is still a huge step forward and has, in our opinion, every chance of becoming the new standard in console design, both in terms of content and form factor. For the industry, this is just an excellent platform with great potential, allowing for the smoothest possible iron transition, which is especially important in today’s realities of a market full of games developing according to a service model.
The only thing really missing is the games the console could associate with. His own Mario 64, Breath of the Wild (a perfect example of a crossgen project) or Halo: Combat Evolved – in general, something like that that would really denote the merits of the system. “
Kiza Macdonaldwho wrote a review for The guardian confirmed that all the promises made Microsoft, Xbox Series X and S perform with brilliance. However, in her opinion, now there is not much point in buying new consoles.
“Nothing about the Series X or Series S tries to convince you of the need for an instant buy, but at the same time I have nothing to criticize – everything that was promised is really in place and works very well.”
The most critical review stood out Chris Plant from the site team Polygonwho called Xbox series x “boring“.
“Xbox Series X is not at all the main platform for the gaming universe from Microsoft. This is just another link in the chain consisting of your phone, tablet, computer or other (cheaper) Xbox system. This is not the only place to play, but only one of many that allows you to check out upcoming new releases, current releases, and old hits.
Xbox Series X is just boring. I can’t say otherwise. “
The worldwide launch of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will take place on November 10.
