By reilo Go To PostDude, CES is right around the corner in a few months. Just wait.They will be super expensive at launch, though! I guess he can wait just a few more months after they release for them to be more affordable. (there will always be something worthwhile waiting for)
If there is a TV that does what he wants at a price he can afford, go for it. I think the only thing the KS8000 doesn't meet on his wishlist is being an OLED. But one of those might not be affordable for a while. They currently cost twice as much as an equivalent LED.
By Smokey Go To PostSo HDR is legit.I take it you had them show you HDR content and switch between Game Mode on and off?
Games are going to look insane af, jesus
By Kibner Go To PostI take it you had them show you HDR content and switch between Game Mode on and off?
Not with game mode, I just had them show me a set running HDR and another one that was not HDR, but with the same content.
The difference is astonishing. It sucks that MS and Sony won't be able to properly relay the difference. You gotta see it in person.
On the Best Buy floor the LG OLED's (which are the only OLED's they carry) really standout. I hate the out of the box floor settings they use but the colors and blacks look much richer to my eyes than either of the Sony or Sammy comparable LED models.
I think it's definitely worth waiting six months though and seeing what comes out of CES. Prices are going to tumble in the new year and something else could be announced. I'm really in no rush other than just impatience and wanting new toys.

This is me. I'm itching HARD
By Kibner Go To PostWhen I went to Best Buy, the guys helping me were actually very helpful. They knew exactly what I meant when I said "input lag". They even knew off the top of their head some of the TVs that had low input lag. And for the ones they didn't, they knew a site to pull up and see what TVs they had in stock would be acceptable for me. Which they did, right there on the store floor.The difference between stores that properly train employees and those that don't is legit astonishing. The store I worked at earnestly cared about us, and the manager even said that he wanted to train us for the real world since he knew that not all of us wanted to be there forever.
They did their usual salesman thing of getting protection and such, but they were genuinely helpful and worked with me for 30-60 minutes trying to figure out which TV would fit my needs best while still being in my price range. I was kind of impressed.
Conversely, one of our neighboring stores was as ain't-shit as you can get. A couple other employees from that store went to ours to get a refund because "we didn't want to hurt our numbers." Our manager kicked them out, lmao
Halo 5 Forge is legit. Server browser needs to come asap so I don't have to play Blood Gulch with gaffers..

Why would it? They barely improved PSN when they were losing the console war last gen, why would they improve it when they're the clear winners this gen?
Well, my Panny Plasma is going to be 7 years old this December. It may have to be retired to a different room for something 4K with HDR for Pro. I just don't want to spend good money for a new 4K HDTV. I want to drag my feet on that as long as possible.
By Rob Go To PostHalo 5 Forge is legit. Server browser needs to come asap so I don't have to play Blood Gulch with gaffers..Says it requires anniversary update for Windows 10 but all I see is people complaining about it.

Upgrade for Halo 5 or is it better to wait until they fix it?
are there still lots of issues with the anniversary update? It's been fine for me

By ReRixo Go To Postare there still lots of issues with the anniversary update? It's been fine for meit wouldn't let me pick an install location either so I had to uninstall GTA V. When I went to preload Forza Horizon 3 (which was just a dummy file anyway) it let me pick where to install :/

I want a PS4 Pro bad. Getting that new toy itch. Only wish they were releasing a white console option so I could replace my OG Destiny white PS4 with the Pro and keep the matching pair with my SO white Xbox.

By Smokey Go To PostI've always wanted to work at BB on the weekend or something just for the discount tbhIt ain't as good as you think. You may get tax off of gaming systems and name-brand TVs. On accessories though? Godlike. I got a bunch of HDMI cables for $5, and that was including a phone charger I threw in there. Same deal with warranties/services. Had a TV installation done for my mom, and my discount cut the price in half.
Meanwhile...
Retronauts made me get TG-16 New Adventure Island on Wii U VC for $5.
I bet it's more fun than HDR.

Project Highrise is great so far. Haven't had much time to play as much as I'd like due to work and playing the new WoW expansion, but I dig it a lot.
By Kibner Go To PostAdventure Island series rules.The only one I ever really got into was Super Adventure Island back in the day because the Yuzo Koshiro soundtrack was insane:
It was legit jaw-dropping to hear that coming out of a Super Nintendo cartridge.
But so far New Adventure Island is like pure, distilled gaming. It controls well, it's colourful, and the stages are challenging but direct.

I just don't want to spend good money for a new 4K HDTV. I want to drag my feet on that as long as possible.I'm in the same boat. Eight year old Panny plasma that's still going strong and I love it dearly.
I'm ready and willing to find a new love, but nothing is blowing me away just yet, and the more I read up on, the longer I'm willing to wait. I'm getting thirstier though...
Another Panasonic plasma owner here (GT30). I'd like a 4k screen but nothing looks as smooth as the plasma. Will probably ride it out until it dies.

By Kibner Go To PostNothing wrong with that, imo.
I don't own a console so 4k/HDR means little to me anyway. It's mainly for Netflix & sport watching, which it's fantastic for.
Would kill to get a modern plasma

Are you playing the Prelude?
Sony won't allow mods for Skyrim/Fallout
Gotta keep that For The Players train moving
It's too late for this gen, but these little things add up and why MS fuked up and gave Sony an opening with PS4. Sony literally check boxed every thing MS wasn't doing, added more power, and destroyed them.
After months of discussion with Sony, we regret to say that while we have long been ready to offer mod support on PlayStation 4, Sony has informed us they will not approve user mods the way they should work: where users can do anything they want for either Fallout 4 or Skyrim Special Edition.

By Smokey Go To PostAre you playing the Prelude?Only the tutorial. Not touching the trash my player garbage.
Did anyone really make use of the mods on Fallout 4 on Xbox One?
Don't recall seeing any cool stuff coming from it, maybe there are a tonne of cool usability mods that went under my radar though.

By Hitch Go To PostDid anyone really make use of the mods on Fallout 4 on Xbox One?There was a bunch of stuff on reddit when it came out for XB1. Made the game look way better without much of a performance hit, or at least one I couldn't notice bc Bethesda games run like shit anyway

After listening to the Digital Foundry talk about the PS4 Pro I am thinking about selling the OG model and getting the new one. Ledbetter sounds really impressed by it even the 1080p modes.
Basically this.

Really interested in seeing The Last of Us in native 4k with HDR. Shame the frame rate drops to 30, but it'll be a good sampling of what studios might be able to do via patches. Bit disappointed they couldn't get more devs (even first party) on board for the initial release though.

I should boycott 2K until they put in some real hair that doesn't look like shit
Used the app to scan my face and it's pretty accurate but the hair makes me look weird af
