Topic: Now Playing on Xbox Series X|S

I'm new here(I have actually been on nintendo life for about 6 years, used the same account to get on here). Id like to ask a question. I have had a series s for a year now with a Samsung HD ready TV from about 2006.(Long story regarding the tv🤣🤣🤣). When I check the resolution via the TV settings it says 1280x720. Is that 720p or 720i? And the display looks pixelated and blurry with washed out colours. How would I fix that or reduce it?

@DannyBoi I would check the display settings through the console's menu as it should display the exact resolution you are achieving.

I’ve been replaying lots of games I have on series S from when I owned a ps3 such as Marvel Vs Capcom 3, and some classics that I never played before such as Halo CE Anniversary, the Arkham games and Metal Gear Rising

I've finally started Robocop Rogue City. Only 30 minutes in and I can't wait to get back to it. Had to put it down for dinner and other stuff. I'll play again tonight.

Alan Wake remastered for me. Into the second chapter, but still hasn't really grabbed me. I'd have probably dropped it if it wasn't for wanting to finish it before playing Control and Alan Wake 2!!

Playing the latest Prince of Persia and it is as good as everyone is saying! Apart from the fact double jump takes too long to get but anyways

@Balta666 I adore it. Playing on switch though. I absolutely love that once you die at a boss fight, you can jump right back in. The game is tough, but nothing I can't handle. Even if it gets too hard, you can taper the difficulty to your liking. Couple that with the ability to take screenshots in game at specific locations as well as place markers wherever you want to not forget areas, this game is near perfection. And I haven't even touched on the combat and platforming. Awesome game, right up there with dread so far.

@NintendoByNature I tend to prefer metroidvania's with gun combat (not the biggest fan of the Castlevania ones) but in this game you are so agile that I'd doesn't bother me and the boss fights are just the exact type of difficulty I like in that they are challenging but not taking me more than a few tries after you get the timing right. Also the length is looking to be just perfect (I found Dread like many other Metroid way too short which was understandable in the 90's but not anymore)

Currently playing Gears 4 and 5 (all the modes for achievements).

Also, RE 2 Z version (for achievements).

Outstanding games. Can't go wrong with them.

I have always passed on hellblade because I don't like horror but the latest shown on the sequel made me at least give it a try. I knew that headphones is a must (and also that the consequences are not true) and to help I turned some light on in the room and brightness all the way to max (strangely enough you cannot tweak after the fact unless you delete everything including your cloud save) So I can avoid darkness, tbf putting a few notches brighter from the recommended is something I do for every game. I left combat in auto as it was the default option but I am not sure how does it work. I have completed the first two chapters and have not died yet (apart from falling from a ledge but I don't think that counts anyways. I am enjoying it

Hellblade is done and next on the list is Beyond Good and Evil which I have only played a bit of the GameCube version when I got into retro collection a few years ago. Let's see if all the hype about this cult classic is still valid in 2024!
