I would be much more interested in one of these than NES one. So many good games. |

LG OLED B6 4K TV review
@Ep1cN3ss1e I've had DLP projectors, the black levels are okay but not super black
moreover, we've only recently seen 'game mode' start to happen on projectors. As to deep black even going to the cinema these days, the blacks just look dark grey to me. I saw some Vantablack a few months ago along with some Super black, in real life, these surfaces are astonishing. |

@DrGravity your precious E6It's only a television, no biggy. Hardly precious. If something better comes along, I'll get that instead. Maybe 75 inch this time, rather than 65 I've gone off using projectors for gaming as the input lag is too annoying. |

@DrGravity You come across as an OLED fanboy who just wants to spin the narrative that it's the only game in town, the perfect display when nothing could be further from the truth. OLED has some great strengths AND some compromises just like all displays - none are perfect.I am a fanboy of deep blacks and great greyscale, yes. |

@DrGravity You say Samsung stole OLED secrets from LG - Source please? I'm not referring to the fact LG may have made the accusation (both Korean companies hate each other and make these accusations all the time), I'm asking you to provide a source for when Samsung was convicted of this.Fair enough the 2012 legal arguments and accusations ended in out-of-court settlement where I thought Samsung had paid LG. But you're right, my memory was failing me as checking via Google search the old news stories, looks like both sets of employees were doing the dirty plus there were missing screens from trade shows, all sorts of nonsense. But looks like Korean police thought Chinese and Taiwanese were suspected. It was the Korean government that made the CEOs of LG and Samsung settle out of court terms unknown in early 2013. http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/4/3949864/lg-and-samsung-display-agree-to-patent-settlement-outside-of-courtroom |

@furrykitty Samsung will have to go OLED if they want to compete in the race it seems.They had an out of court settlement with LG over OLED patents about five years ago, one could speculate on how long it will last and Samsung will make an affordable OLED television. |

@DrGravity because as several have pointed out, screen burn / image retention is an issueShow us some evidence. For example, where is OLED screen burn in on Samsung's new phones? Were you telling people to avoid plasma back in the day, because they needed "regassing"? |

All the Samsung LCD television owners here posting about LG OLED input lag and OLED burn-in problems
says a lot about you. I had Elite Pioneer plasma for years, hours of gaming and kids TV with stupid DOGs and no burn-in. OLED has burn-in? If that's the case why doesn't it do that on mobile phones or watches etc? Perhaps because it's a myth? I've got a further up the range one of these displays, E6 65, and like the other light emitting technology before it unlike like blocking technology LCD it has amazing colour reproduction, can handle fast motion, and simply looks amazing picture quality. Game Mode input lag is barely above fast LCD screens from other manufactures. I run consoles plus gaming PC into mine, odd bit of SkyHD, Blu-rays and inbuilt Amazon & Netlix with their HDR 4K support are stunning on these screens especially with content that is dark. Perhaps Samsung will get back into OLED television game, after they got into trouble with industrial espionage for stealing trade secrets from LG and settled out of court for patent infringement why Samsung are still pushing their LCD screens four years later as Samsung are one of the largest producers of OLED screens for phones and small screens, would be good to see them make a return to tvs and monitors too. Talking of which, we're also going to see OLED in PC monitors this year, not only are they thin but use less power but also HDR too. :) |

We watched a Scorpio console get put together
@Calo64 I am currently researching buying a new AV Processor for my amps. I know that many of them have Input Lag, even in direct mode / pass through / game modes. Although not as documented as television. Even if it adds 20ms and your television is 30ms this makes the total 50ms. Do you know of a particular brand that has low input lag? |

@Merdalor From what I read receivers add a completely negligable amountSome AV receivers add huge amounts of lag, north of 60ms; many have 'Game' and 'Direct' mode but even these can add 10ms or more. None of them have 0ms. This is off course cumulative on your television's input lag; which is why it's imperative to have as little as possible in the AV Receiver. |

@cyber_nicco Use an optical cable for separate audio - surely your AV processor handles toslink?Optical cable is 5.1 audio only. This does not give me 7.1 audio nor Atmos. This is why proper Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray players have two HDMI outputs one for video+audio and one for audio only. Personally I wouldn't use the HDMI input on Xbox One but think it would be brilliant if they made it cable of audio output. |

I wish Microsoft would configure the second HDMI for audio output, like high quality Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray players. I want to plug the video directly into the screen for least lag and the audio into my AV processor (for 7.1 or Atmos etc.) |

Gears of War 4 to let PC and Xbox One players battle each other in ranked matches
@Number1Laing I have been using my living room gaming PC as a super console too, in the past I had a German gaming board thing but as Simareon3000 points out it was good for strategy games but not so hot for shooters. Been using joypads since, but wondered what current K&M for living room was sounds like still not fixed. |

Older iPhone, iPad games now warn they'll soon become obsolete
@LordDemigod My point is, porting a game to 64-bit executables is not as easy as changing the config in Visual Studio/XCode and hitting build. There's quite a lot of work involved and studios which made those games originally now have to go back and spend time fixing them, which obviously costs money.Which is why it's a massive pain for me. Also, all the plug-ins and third-party software and middleware we used has all moved on and needs new versions or replacements too. Loads of coding and expense. |

My game is 32-bit and 64-bit compatible, IIRC, but needs a recompile and resubmission for 64-bit exclusivity. It's a huge pain. |

@ArtyEG 1% off for Gears of War Ultimate Edition for Windows 101%, they are spoiling us. In anticipation of updating my old 360 with a Scorpio, I was looking in the Microsoft Store yesterday and couldn't believe the prices of Gears of War 4 etc that are Windows 10 and Xbone titles. |

Project Scorpio: specs, games, VR, peripherals, backwards compatibility and everything we know about the new Xbox
Despite owning a PS4 Pro and a reasonably high-end PC, along with PSVR and HTC Vive, I am still impressed enough with Project Scorpio that I am probably going to pre-order one. I loved my 360 and am glad Microsoft appear to be digging themselves out of the Xbox One debacle. But the question of exclusives is an important one. Saying that, I've actually got a couple of multi-platforms on PS4 Pro recently and not PC because of excellent 4K support. |

Mass Effect Andromeda has a mobile companion app
Any Mass Effect game is usually a pre-order for me, along with season passes etc. as I love 'em. But... Not quite feeling the vibe for this new one, my spidey-sense is tingling, so I'll going to give it a few months and see how it turns out. Also, Mass Effect 3's mobile companion app was annoying. |

Nvidia unveils GTX 1080 Ti: 'faster than Titan X Pascal'
@NullDev It'll be faster in games, but as per their usual fashion they will hobble their performance in the applications Titan cards are sold and used for.As my lead developer pointed out to me this morning. Definitely getting a 1080 Ti for a new gaming PC though ... my new question is CPU vendor, and I never thought that would be a question again. |

Horizon Zero Dawn review
I was really looking forward to this game, graphics look amazing and the 4K support excellent. But when I read that it's yet another open-world grind-fest my heart sank these days they all seem to be built around checklists of generics. Saying that I have enjoyed some of these recently, especially if they tie in big set-pieces and also looked pretty, e.g. the new Tomb Raider games. But overall getting tired and bored of this approach. So will probably give this a go, but it's moved from day-zero order to nice-to-have some day. |

Seagate Firecuda 2TB review: the ultimate PS4 storage upgrade?
@Hairy-Gorilla If it gets near you, highly recommended. Although a few of my mates have 1Gb fibre, makes my 220Mb look slow. |

@Hairy-Gorilla Virgin cable, not ADSL. Another benefit is one doesn't have to have a land-line and "line rental". Had it for years, since first available; almost entirely problem free, rock solid speeds; no caps that affect me. They offer an additional package to double uploading speed, which sounds good for upstreaming HD but I'm not interested in that. Steam super fast, Origin probably second, then Xbox, and finally PSN for downloading games and patches. |

@higganos I can download 50gb on psn in approx 3 hours which means I could download the same on steam in...20 mins?Steam can fully utilise my 220Mb connection. So 50GB game would take about 30 minutes to download. Steam is pretty darn quick. |

Annoying thing, on my PS4 Pro I have to unplug the HDMI cables and switch stuff around to switch from 4K HDR to using PSVR and vice versa. For example if I want to switch between the best 2D experience and VR versions of Resident Evil 7. This PSVR breakout box being old HDMI format and not supporting HDR or high colour resolution 4K is super annoying, so even on this game switching between modes means unplugging and plugging in cables. Are Sony going to fix this? Edit: going to send the kids to bed early so I can play Resident Evil 7 in VR, arrived days ago and haven't even opened it yet! |
