Xbox One will support 4K output resolution and 3D. The next-gen Xbox One will include support for ultra high-resolution 4K as well as 3D, Microsoft's Larry Hryb revealed in a Yahoo chat session yesterday. "Xbox One supports both 3-D and 4K," Hryb said in response to a question about the console including these features. Following the Xbox One's unveiling on Tuesday, Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi told Forbes the console's video and interface will work with HDTVs. "The video and interface portions [will work with next-gen TVs], absolutely," he said. "Games developed for 1080p will run at 1080p, obviously." Xbox One supports both 3D and 4K, including 4K for Blu-ray. Mehdi also revealed the console will support 4K for Blu-ray at launch, with the possibility of games and other content being available at 4K in the future if they are rendered at that resolution. "There's no hardware restriction there at all," he said. 4K, also known as Ultra HD, refers to a display resolution approximately four times the resolution of 1080p displays. Several companies, such as Sony and LG, have started to manufacture TVs with the emerging standard, though the price point can begin at tens of thousands of dollars here in the technology's early days. File size may be another technological hurdle to 4K adoption: Sony said in February that 4K videos could require downloads over 100 GB. Neil Hunt, Netflix's chief product officer, told The Verge earlier this year that the streaming video service expects to offer 4K video content "within a year or two." After revealing the PlayStation 4 in February, Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida told Polygon the company's next-generation console would support 4K output, but not for playing games. "The official answer is that the PS4 supports 4K output but for personal contents, like photos or videos. Not games," Yoshida said. "PS4 games do not work on 4K." Update : A representative from Microsoft confirmed to Polygon that Xbox One games will support both native 4K resolution and upscaling to 4K. The Best 4K HDR TVs for Your Xbox One S. The Xbox One S is out August 2nd but in order to take advantage of all of its features, you’re going to need a compatible television. Microsoft’s mid-cycle refresh of the Xbox One may seem like a minor upgrade on paper, but the inclusion of HDR and 4K will make games and movies more immersive than ever. At least until Project Scorpio comes bearing VR support. So before you head out and buy an Xbox One S, take a look at your current TV and decide if it's worth upgrading to get the most out of Microsoft’s new console. If you are upgrading your TV, here’s what you need to know to get the best Xbox One S experience. HDR stands for “high dynamic range” and has been used in the photography world for a long time. You may have noticed a “HDR” mode on your iPhone or Android, which helps capture more detail in dark or overly bright areas. HDR for televisions also aims to increase the level of realism and detail, but for video instead of still images. With HDR, blacks will be deeper and darker and whites will be whiter. You’ll also get a wider range of colors with HDR to help reproduce subtle color differences. The goal of HDR is to provide a picture that’s more true to real life and while the effect is subtle, it’s noticeable when compared alongside non-HDR content. Here’s where HDR gets tricky - currently, there are two standards of HDR: HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Here’s what you need to know about each standard: HDR10 (aka HDR1000) is the open industry standard that has been adopted by TV manufacturers like Sony, LG, Samsung, Sharp and more. Movie studios behind HDR10 include 20th Century Fox, Netflix, Warner Brothers, Walt Disney and others. Every upcoming 4K capable Blu-ray player will support HDR10. Dolby Vision is a proprietary standard created by Dolby and it promises some technical advantages over HDR10. Dolby Vision features 12-bit color depth vs HDR10’s 10-bit. Dolby’s standard also cranks out more nits of screen brightness than HDR10, which is great if you have a TV that can get that bright. On a technical and theoretical level, Dolby Vision is superior. However, HDR10 wins by being the more widely adopted standard that doesn’t require specialized hardware. If you have the means to purchase a TV that supports Dolby Vision, you can do so without too much worry, as that TV will also be able to support HDR10. However, you’ll risk paying more for a Dolby Vision supported TV if that HDR format fails to get traction. If all you want to do is to use your Xbox One S to its fullest potential, then a 4K HDR10 TV will be just fine, as there are no plans for the console to support Dolby Vision. If cost is no object, the LG 65EF9500 is one of the best 4K UHD TVs you can buy right now. PCMag says, “Once again, LG has produced an OLED display that offers the best picture you can buy.” The TV features an OLED display, which produces the blackest blacks and more vibrant colors than even a plasma TV could provide. It features great video processing and has a striking look with its 0.25-inch thin body. It also supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10, so your Xbox One S will work well with it, and you'll get the most out of any media that supports Dolby's proprietary technology. If you don’t drive a Bugatti and maybe want to feed your kids instead of blowing all your money on a TV, the Samsung UN65KS8000 is a great high-end choice. It supports HDR10, which will work great with the Xbox One S, and offers 4K resolution upscaling for all the 1080p content you’re likely still consuming. You’ll still get a gorgeous life-like picture, but just a tad less dynamic and eye popping as the LG. Vizio has long been known as a budget brand, but the Vizio P Series proves the company can stand with the best. The P Series offers outstanding picture quality and also features a unique Android tablet remote, plus it has Google Cast and smart TV features built in. However, it doesn't actually support Dolby Vision and HDR10 formats yet. Vizio plans to patch in support, so while the Xbox One S will conceivably pair perfectly with the Vizio P Series, you will be waiting on an update patch before it can take full advantage of all of the console's features. If you’re on a budget, the Samsung UN55KU6300 is your best bet. It offers both 4K resolution and HDR10 support for your Xbox One S. You don’t get the flexibility of having Dolby Vision support, but if all you want to do is play games and watch Blu-ray movies in HDR, the UN55KU6300 will do just fine. You do give up some color reproduction and brightness for this budget set, but if you’re upgrading from an old 1080p TV, you’ll be blown away by its sharpness and colors.

Page 1 of 2 Xbox One S review: Cheaper than the Xbox One X, but just as spectacular. The Xbox One S is Microsoft's best console yet, made even better with this Xbox Live Gold deal. Deal alert: Xbox Live Gold membership bargain. Already suffering from January blues? Well, Microsoft has just the ticket to turn that frown upside down, with an excellent deal on an Xbox Live Gold membership. As it stands, you can currently buy a six-month Xbox Live Gold membership – which gives you multiplayer access along with free games every month – for just £12.49. That's a massive half price off the original £24.99 retail price. Best be quick though, as this generous bargain ends on 5 February 2018. My original Xbox One S review continues below. Xbox One S review. If you’re a fan of video games, you’ll know that both Microsoft and Sony have shaken up the console market recently. Sony has released the PS4 Pro, a supercharged 4K-ready version of the original PlayStation 4, Microsoft has released the Xbox One X (formerly known as Project Scorpio) – the most powerful console ever made. However, the best console to buy in 2018 might be a little bit older: I'm talking about the Xbox One S. As its S suffix implies, it’s a slimline version of the current Xbox One, albeit with a few added extras. An astonishing 40% smaller overall, the Xbox One S is positively tiny compared to its hulking forebear. It's a gorgeous bit of modern console design, and I actually greatly prefer its white angular chassis to the rather more rounded layer cake design of Sony's newly announced PS4 Slim. It's also pretty attractive compared to Sony's PS4 Pro, and not just in terms of its looks. In a rather surprising move from Sony, neither of its new consoles come with a 4K Blu-ray drive, making them incompatible with UHD Blu-rays. The Xbox One S, however, does come with a 4K Blu-ray drive, giving it a unique advantage over its PlayStation rivals. I'll explain more about what this means and how it works below, but right now it's pretty safe to say that if you're thinking about upgrading your film library, the Xbox One S is definitely the cheapest console for the job at the moment. It's also pretty attractive compared to Sony's PS4 Pro, and not just in terms of its looks. Xbox One S design, controller and ports. Getting back to the Xbox One S's design for a moment, though, you'll be pleased to hear that it rectifies many of the issues I had with the original Xbox One. The physical power button, for instance, is no longer touch-sensitive, so you'll never accidentally turn it off while you're dusting, and there's now a USB port on the front of the console rather than the side, making it easier to plug in your controller when you want to charge it. Likewise, its new controller now supports Bluetooth, making it extremely easy to pair it with your PC or laptop – including Microsoft's own Surface devices such as the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book – so you can game on the go or take advantage of Microsoft's cross-buy Xbox Play Anywhere initiative. Not all digital games support this, but compatible titles will give you both an Xbox One and Windows 10 PC version of the game at no extra cost, allowing you to pick up your save on either format without having to buy the game twice. The controller also has a new textured grip on the rear. It's pretty subtle, but it does feel nicer to hold in your hand compared to the smooth plastic of Microsoft's standard Xbox One controller. The good news is that these controllers are available to buy separately as well, so you don't necessarily have to buy an entire console just to benefit from these couple of small tweaks. Round the back, you'll find almost the same number of ports, including HDMI input and outputs, a pair of USB ports, an optical S/PDIF out, Ethernet port and an infrared output. The only thing missing is the port for Kinect, which has been ditched here to help streamline the console's overall dimensions. You can still use Kinect with the Xbox One S, but you'll need to buy a separate USB adapter (although, Microsoft has stopped manufacturing them). There's also a standard figure of eight power connector, signifying the fact that Microsoft has finally moved the power supply inside the main chassis, negating the need for that pesky power brick. Xbox One S review: Noise and power consumption. It still kicks up a fair amount of noise during those quieter moments of operation – when you're browsing the menus or searching for apps, for instance – but once you've got a game or film going, you'd be pretty hard-pushed to hear it. Indeed, our Dr Meter Sound Level Meter recorded the Xbox One S at between 44dB and 47dB up close when it was playing a Blu-ray disc (with the background office aircon hum at 41dB), which is around the same as the original Xbox One. One thing the Xbox One S does improve on is power consumption. When sitting idle on the menu screen the Xbox One S drew only 30W of power from the mains, which barely changed when I put in a Blu-ray disc. The original Xbox One, however, drew 46W of power on the menu screen and up to 55W when playing a Blu-ray, so the Xbox One S should be slightly less expensive to run over the course of a year. Xbox One S review: 4K Blu-ray drive. However, the Xbox One S is much more than just a streamlined Xbox One. It also has a 4K Blu-ray drive packed into it as well as high dynamic range (HDR) support. With HDR-enabled content, the colour gamut becomes considerably wider than your standard sRGB palette, showing brilliant whites, blacker blacks and a whole lot more colour content in between. This translates into brighter, more vibrant images and a more detailed picture overall, as highlights are less prone to clipping around very bright objects like sun flares, for example, and darker scenes will have a much smoother shadow gradient. Of course, it goes without saying that you'll also need a 4K TV to take full advantage of the Xbox One S (see our roundup of the best TVs for gaming if you're thinking of buying one) and preferably one that supports HDR. However, bear in mind that this doesn't mean it will play Xbox One games in 4K. I repeat, it WILL NOT play games in 4K: you'll need the pricier Xbox One X for that. Instead, it outputs games at their original resolution, leaving your TV to do the extra legwork of upscaling them to match its 4K resolution – much like it does with standard TV content. The 4K Blu-ray drive is a real win for Microsoft, as neither Sony's PS4 Slim or even the PS4 Pro has one built in. This means only the Xbox One S and Xbox One X are capable of playing UHD Blu-rays, and it seems absolutely mad that Sony has overlooked this – especially as both the PS2 and PS3 were the first consoles of their kind to come with a DVD and Blu-ray drive respectively. Of course, Sony's new consoles still support HDR, so games on the Slim will still look largely the same as its Xbox One S counterparts.

Этот видеоролик доступен только на английском языке. Разрешение 4K — разрешающая способность вашего телевизора. Ее полное название — разрешение 4K UHD (другие названия: 4K Ultra HD или телевидение сверхвысокой четкости 4K). Это разрешение вмещает в четыре раза больше пикселей, чем разрешение 1080p для телевидения высокой четкости (HDTV). Изображения в формате 4K — более четкие и детальные. Для просмотра в разрешении 4K и в режиме сопутствующей видеотехнологии, HDR (высокий динамический диапазон), необходимо иметь телевизор с разрешением 4K и консоли Xbox One S или Xbox One X. Встроенное разрешение 4K или модернизация до 4K. Если вы выберете разрешение 4K UHD для вашей консоли, все на этой консоли — главная страница, игры и приложения — будет отображаться в разрешении 4K. На консоли Xbox One X контент 4K отображается с собственным разрешением 4K, а другой контент (например, игры, закодированные в 1080p) масштабируется до 4K. Игры на Xbox One S также переводятся на разрешение 4K. Хотя изображение в масштабированном формате 4K более гладкое и детализированное, чем в родных форматах 720p или 180p, оно все же не настолько богато красками и деталями, как изображение с родным расширением 4K. Чтобы установить ваше разрешение и перевести все материалы на разрешение 4K, нажмите кнопку Xbox , чтобы открыть гид, перейдите в раздел Система > Настройки > Экран и звук > Видеовыход . Для параметра Разрешение телевизора выберите значение 4K UHD . Разрешение 4K в играх и приложениях. Для воспроизведения 4K-контента не требуется установка разрешения 4K в качестве общего параметра настроек вашей консоли. Вы можете выбрать другое разрешение для вашей консоли, например 1080p, а когда игре или приложению потребуется разрешение 4K, разрешение автоматически переключится на 4K (при условии, что ваш телевизор поддерживает необходимый для разрешения режим). Это удобно, если вы хотите воспроизводить 1080p-контент в его исходном разрешении, но при этом получать все преимущества от разрешения 4K при воспроизведении 4K-контента. Чтобы выбрать более низкое разрешение, но переключаться на разрешение 4K при воспроизведении 4K-контента, выполните следующие действия: Откройте гид и перейдите в раздел Система > Настройки > Экран и звук > "Видеовыход" , а затем убедитесь, что для параметра Разрешение телевизора выбрано значение 720p или 1080p . Выберите Дополнительные настройки для видео и убедитесь, что установлен режим Разрешить 4K . Gamers: Don't Bother Buying One Of Those Expensive '4K' TVs. Here's one of Samsung's curved 4K TVs shown at CES. Jim Edwards. The next big gimmick in TV is finally here. At last week's Consumer Electronics Show, every television manufacturer and content provider was happy to announce their plans for the impending release of "Ultra HD" televisions.В. Ultra HD, also known as "4K," is a new screen resolution coming to televisions, just as "720p" and "1080p" came before. In comparison to a 1080p TV, a 4K set will have four times the resolution packed into the same number of inches. Upgrading will be like the transition to Retina displays on smartphones: 4K content will look beautiful, but stuff made for 1080p won't look that much better, if at all. Video games fall into that latter category. Games made for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are made for 1080p, so they'll still look the same on the new, expensive 4K sets coming out this year. But even if game developers for these systems wanted to make higher-resolution content for these new screens, it turns out that it likely isn't even possible: the hardware in the newest consoles simply can't handle outputting such detail. As CNET's Nic Healey reported back in November, it's unlikely that either the PlayStation 4 or the Xbox One support the newest HDMI standard.В. That means the port that connects to your TV can only output games at a maximum of 30 frames per second at 4K resolution, not the 60 that is considered ideal.В Basically, that means that games would be really choppy, a dealbreaker for most gamers. While it's rumored that Sony might be able to fix the issue with a software update, there's an even bigger problem with both consoles. Their graphics processors can play games with beautiful characters, environments, and lighting. But it doesn't seem like they can do both at the same time.В. "Ryse" for the Xbox One. Crytek. "Ryse," one of the prettiest games among the Xbox One's launch line-up, is actually rendered at 900p and then "upscaled" to 1080p. It's the gaming equivalent of playing a DVD on an HD television — it looks decent, but you're not really utilizng the screen.В. If the Xbox One can't handle intense graphics at 1080p, 4K is pretty much out of the question. While the PlayStation 4 is slightly more powerful than the Xbox One, it seems that Sony's console isn't going to support Ultra HD gaming either.В. Will PS4 support 4K content for video or gaming? Support for high-resolution 4K output for still images and movie content is in consideration, but there are no further details to share at this time. PS4 does not currently support 4K output for games. In summary: TV makers are going to try to sell you expensive new 4K TVs in 2014. If you're a gamer, it isn't worth it.

The Xbox One is a powerful beast, full to the brim with exciting features and offering a store front full of top notch titles from AAA blockbusters to indies. Microsoft’s answer to the PS4 and successor to the Xbox 360 has been around for over two years now and a lot has changed since that time. But, for those of you still debating whether to buy an Xbox One, there are some key questions you may want answered first. We’ve endeavoured to answer those questions for you in one handy Xbox One FAQ guide, to make sure you feel informed before you part with your cash. Can the Xbox One stand up on its side? Unlike the Xbox 360, which was capable of being positioned on its side or horizontally, the Xbox One can only be placed one way. The Xbox One has been designed to be sat horizontally, with Microsoft saying that “vertical positioning of the console is not supported”. Keep your Xbox One flat Position it away from direct heat sources Don’t put objects on, under or directly next to your Xbox One Keep the vents free from clutter in order to prevent overheating. Can the Xbox One download games when off? Yes, through Instant-On mode. When you first boot up your Xbox One, you’ll be offered the choice of two power-off modes – don’t worry, you can change your mind later. What does the Xbox One come with in the box? If you’re wondering what you’ll get when you buy a basic Xbox One, such as whether the Xbox One comes with an HDMI cable, here’s everything you get in the box: 500GB or 1TB Xbox One console Xbox One Wireless Controller HDMI Cable Power Brick Power Cable Xbox One Chat Headset. Does the Xbox One come with a headset? In the box with your new Xbox One, you’ll receive the Xbox One Chat Headset. Separately it costs around £20. It’ll only offer you mono sound, but it does come with a microphone. Sign up for the newsletter. Get news, competitions and special offers direct to your inbox. Does the Xbox One have Bluetooth? Sadly, the Xbox One doesn’t support Bluetooth. So that means if you want to use your expensive non-gaming wireless headphones or a wireless mouse and keyboard, you’re scuppered. Does the Xbox One have DLNA support? One of the big things Microsoft has focused on delivering over the course of 2014 is improving the entertainment features of the Xbox One – taking it tantalisingly close to being the all-in-one entertainment console it always promised to be. Can I use an external hard drive with the Xbox One? Yes, to store all your games, apps and other content. Does the Xbox One support 4K? The Xbox One supports both 3D and 4K Blu-ray discs at present. Microsoft insinuated at launch that there was a possibility of the Xbox One offering support for 4K games and other content in the future, if they’re rendered at that resolution. “There’s no hardware restriction at all,” said Microsoft’s Yusuf Mehdi at the time to Forbes. Is the Xbox One cloud used for more than just storage? Cloud support and storage doesn’t sound very exciting, but on the Xbox One it will actually be really useful for games. Primarily it’ll be a place to save settings, game progress and other information. Game developers will also be able to add new features, fix bugs and improve the way games play. Take Forza Motorosport 5, for instance, where the cloud support powers the new Drivatar feature. The developers can see which cars and races prove popular and improve the AI of virtual opponents to make one race play out in a dramatically different way from one week to the next. What’s new about the Xbox One Kinect? It’s a bigger unit and you’ll need to make a little extra room for it, but there are some really clever things this second-generation motion-sensing controller can do. For starters, it has a wider field of vision that means you only need to be 1.4 metres or so away, making it more suitable to use in smaller rooms. It can now track six people at once, tell who’s holding the controller, work in the dark and can even track facial expressions. So it’ll know when you’re smiling after you’ve finally got through the mandatory day one update… How much is Xbox Live Gold? Xbox Live Gold costs £5.99 a month in the UK, or you can pay £39.99 for an annual subscription. If you can afford the lump sum, we’d suggest you opt for the yearly membership, as the one-off payment will save you over £30 off the monthly payments. Not only does Xbox Live get you access to online multiplayer gaming, with faster matchmaking, but you’ll also get free games every month through the Games With Gold offer. There are also Deals With Gold to take advantage of, too, giving you discounts of up to 75 per cent off selected games in the Xbox Live store each month. Previously, you’d need an Xbox Live Gold membership to access entertainment features such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Video or even the Xbox One OneGuide EPG, but Microsoft changed its policies in 2014. Does the Xbox One have improved matchmaking? The Xbox One is designed to find your perfect partner online. Now, when we say ‘perfect partner’ we obviously don’t mean it in the online dating sense. The new Smart Match feature will help you find a suitable gaming mate, all without having to sit waiting in a lobby. The new matchmaking system, Smart Match, runs in the background and matches you to other players based on characteristics such as skill level, reputation and language. It’ll even tell you when it’s found a match so you can get ready to get it on. (Your game face, that is.) How do I watch TV through my Xbox One? Natively the Xbox One is compatible with cable or satellite TV services like Virgin Media or Sky, so if you’re lucky enough to subscribe to one of those, you can feed them straight in. Can I watch TV and play games at the same time? A feature perfect for multitaskers, the Xbox One will let you run two applications at the same time, so you can play games and catch up on Game of Thrones at the same time. It uses the same ‘Snap’ feature as Windows 8-running devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro 2, enabling you to also double up with other apps like Skype chats. Now you can pretend you’re listening to friends and family overseas while you slash through another enemy in Ryse. Are there dedicated servers for all Xbox One games? This should be a source of good news for all Xbox One multiplayer gamers. Tapping into the cloud, Microsoft has revealed there will be dedicated servers for all Xbox One games and they will be free to all developers. Essentially this means games against friends will be played on more stable connections, so you can have no complaints when you get another hiding on FIFA 14. Can you play Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One? We’ve explained the Xbox One backwards compatibility in detail already, but to put it simply. Yes. Xbox One backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 games is real and really easy to do. There are currently over 100 games supported by the service, and to run them all you need to do is insert the Xbox 360 disc into your Xbox One, or re-download the titles from the store to play them on your latest console. Can you use an Xbox 360 controller with Xbox One? If you’re thinking of using your old Xbox 360 controller with your new Xbox One, you’ll be disappointed. The Xbox One is only compatible with the new Xbox One wireless controllers. Can you remap the Xbox One controller buttons? Yes. If you want precise control over your Xbox One Wireless Controller you can download the Xbox Accessories app on your Xbox One. Remap controller buttons Swap sticks Swap triggers Invert the Y axis on sticks. Does Xbox Live filter trolls? Nobody likes a troll, whether it’s on Twitter or the nasty, swearing types on Xbox Live. Microsoft is addressing the situation with its new reputation system. Ditching the Xbox 360’s five-star grading system, the One’s sophisticated monitoring can intelligently identify ‘proper’ players from the offensive trolls, creating a parallel Xbox Live environment where similarly unpleasant gamers can be left to annoy each other while the rest of us get along nicely. At least, that’s the theory – we’ll keep a close eye on how things go to see if that’s the reality. Will my Xbox 360 achievements carry over? Good news, Xbox 360 owners – achievements will follow you over to the Xbox One and can unlock new content on the next-gen console. The nature of how achievements work is changing slightly as well. Powered by the cloud, Microsoft is adding achievements for non-gaming content, so if you use a particular streaming service for a set period of time, you’ll be rewarded for your loyalty. Can I use Skype on my Xbox One? Skype, the popular VoIP service bought up by Microsoft back in 2011, is deeply integrated into the Xbox One thanks to Kinect. Utilising the 1080p HD cameras and stereo microphones, you can make video calls and the Kinect camera will zoom and pan as you move around the room.You can make group video calls with up to three other people and there’s even support for instant messaging via the on-screen keyboard. Skype will also power the Xbox One’s party chat, which supports up to eight users when you’re playing multiplayer. How does Xbox One remote play work? With Windows 10 came the ability to steam Xbox One games to your Windows 10 PCs and tablets. It works in a similar way to the PS4 Remote Play with the PS Vita and select Sony Xperia devices. Can the Xbox One play used games? Although this wasn’t the case when the Xbox One was first announced, Microsoft changed its mind and made it so the Xbox One can play used games.

The PS4 and Xbox One both have 4K in their futures one way or another – not least because Microsoft has revealed that Xbox Ones will ship with a 4K-ready HDMI cable. But will our eager eyes be treated to bleeding-edge 4K content on release day? Stuff asked a Microsoft spokesperson whether or not we can look forward to playing 4K games, streaming 4K video and playing 4K Blu-ray discs on the Xbox One, and was given this response: “We are delivering a home entertainment system for the next generation and will support 4K for games and entertainment. We’ll share more details later on 4K content for Xbox One.” So, nothing we didn't know already. 4K is coming, but we don't know when or how it'll be served. We can certainly make an educated guess, though. Before we begin, check out our in-depth Xbox One vs PS4 guide and Xbox One vs PS4 controller showdown for all you need to know about Microsoft and Sony's next-gen console powerhouses . 4K gaming is a tricky beast for both the PS4 and Xbox One. Sony's Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida told Joystiq back in February that PS4 games do not play in 4K, despite confirming that 4K video support will be present. Sony's Senior VP Worldwide Studios Europe Michael Denny told Stuff however that although Sony isn't "looking at 4K gaming initially, [it is] looking at 4K video and stills images. [4K gaming] is something [it] will look at in future". The Xbox One's 4K gaming capability also has conflicting reports. On the one hand, Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft's Corporate Vice President of Marketing and Strategy stated back in May that "There's no hardware restriction" when it comes to 4K gaming on the Xbox One. However, tech site Anandtech ran some PC gaming benchmarks at Computex in July using a 4K monitor which casts doubt over whether the next-gen consoles will be capable of 4K gaming. It took four of Nvidia's extremely powerful top-end GTX Titan graphics cards to hit 60 frames per second across Sleeping Dogs and Metro 2033, at a full 3,840x2,160 4K resolution. To put that into perspective, one GTX Titan will set you back £800. Eight. Hundred. Pounds. That alone is almost twice the cost of an entire Xbox One. Times that by four and you've got £3,200's worth of graphical grunt. OK, so other games like Dirt 3 only need a single GTX Titan to hit around 60fps, and it could be argued that you can enjoy games just as much at 30fps. But the raw numbers don't lie, and they show that the Xbox One and PS4 output around 1.23 and 1.84 peak teraflops respectively, while a single Titan ups that to 4.5. That's a big difference in flops, if you'll pardon my French. Given that the PC in question is clearly many levels above both next-gen consoles in terms of raw power, it's questionable whether either the Xbox One or PS4 can handle the demands of modern 4K gaming. There is one small lifeline however. All the PC games' visual settings were cranked up to the absolute maximum – including full anti-aliasing, which can be quite the resource hog without a huge amount of noticeable difference. Not only that, but a PC has an entire full-fat Windows OS to run, with all of the extra background processes associated with it. Games consoles on the other hand, are designed from the ground up with uniform hardware, with an OS catered exactly to it. Take Apple for example. The iPhone 5 might not be the most powerful handset around among quad-core beasts like the LG G2, but it still delivers a consistently fluid experience. That's the beauty of having total control over standardized hardware across the board and your own OS. Can cloud computing help? In an interview with Stuff in its latest September issue, PS4 Lead Architect Mark Cerny states that "trying to improve your graphics by cloud computing doesn't work", as there's too much data that has to be sent up to the server and back. But Microsoft believes that the Xbox One's 300,000 servers dedicated to take up extra processing loads could give it enough additional grunt to benefit our eyeballs. Speaking to Ars Technica, General Manager of Redmond Game Studios and Platforms Matt Booty described how cloud computing could benefit gamers. While cloud computing latency means that split-second reactions like aiming in shooters and collisions in racers just aren't possible, Booty believes that "there are some things in a video game world. that don't necessarily need to be updated every frame or don't change that much in reaction to what's going on". One example he gives is lighting, which doesn't need to be updated every single frame. Other examples that the cloud can handle are physics modelling, fluid dynamics and cloth motion, all of which would free up more power in the Xbox One's innards to focus on making the rest of your game look stunning. There are other ways in which the Xbox One and PS4 could claim to offer 4K gaming capabilities. They could compromise with lower visual settings than their PC counterparts. They could upscale to 4K, or run at 2K – or true 4K could be limited to simpler 2D arcade games. 4K movie Streaming. There's no doubt that the Xbox One and PS4 will support 4K movie streaming at some point. Sony Electronics President and COO Phil Molyneux told The Verge that its 4K move streaming service would be coming to the PS4. Microsoft has, on the other hand, been rather vague by stating that the Xbox One will support "4K games and entertainment". Either way, both consoles are more than capable hardware-wise, and the only thing holding them back is a widespread launch of 4K content providers. And no, Sony's US$700 4K Ultra HD Media player – which comes preloaded with 10 4K movies, and provides access to the 4K-ready Video Unlimited service – simply isn't going to cut it. The likes of Netflix, BBC iPlayer and other streaming sites need to get on board first – and for that to happen, 4K TVs need to hit the mainstream, with widespread adoption and the likes of Sky and Virgin offering 4K-dedicated channels. And we all need fatter pipes, and we need the studios to start releasing their productions in glorious 3840x2160. The lack of content is, of course, one of the problems holding back the sale of pricey 4K TVs, but as prices go down over the next few years, more and more 4K content should trickle through. Indeed, even broadcasters will be sending ultra HD images over the airwaves in future. (It needn't even take that much bandwidth.) Microsoft is also flying the Blu-ray flag this time round, with both the Xbox One and PS4 featuring a Blu-ray drive. But 4K Blu-rays could be quite a long way off. Sony already offers 'Mastered in 4K' Blu-ray dics, which offer movies that have been mastered in 4K, then downscaled to 2K to fit on a standard Blu-ray disc. Only ten titles have been released so far – and this clearly isn't good enough for current movie aficionados. Sadly, true 4K Blu-ray flicks seem a way off yet. "There have been some discussions about how to do 4K delivery via physical media," according to Jeremy Glassman, Manager for Emerging Platform Development and Marketing at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. But t he Blu-ray Disc Association has yet to reach a final standard for 4K Blu-ray discs. Sony and Panasonic confirmed in July that they plan to release 300GB Blu-ray discs by the end of 2015, a massive jump over the standard 50GB Blu-ray discs we have today. But if and when 4K Blu-ray discs land, and if both consoles can play them, our retinas will be in for one hell of a hi-res treat. Both the PS4 and Xbox One have HDMI 1.4, which supports up to 4K video output at 24p or 30p. However, HDMI 2.0, set to launch later this year, will up that to 60p. If you're not familiar with terms like 24p, it basically means that you're seeing 24 frames of a movie or game per second. Most movies are shot at 24p, with notable exceptions like Peter Jackson's The Hobbit, which has been screened at 48p – despite being met with mixed reactions from critics and audiences. Check out Digital Foundry's comparison video above to see the difference between 30p and 60p for yourself. In gaming, though, the more frames you're getting, the smoother your experience – up to a point. There's a great debate among PC gamers over whether 120Hz monitors displaying 120 frames per second are really worth it – there is, after all, a barrier at which the human eye can't even perceive the difference. But 1080p 60p gaming, which the Xbox One and PS4 both promise, should be a noticeable improvement to most of us – and it'll be a shame if future 4K gaming is limited to half the frames per second, despite the awesome visuals promised by 4K. Given that the life-span of a games console is expected to be around ten years now, expect revised models to be released with an updated HDMI output. After all, we're still rocking an original Xbox 360 sans HDMI port, so it's certainly possible. The 4K future. The Xbox One and PS4 are pretty evenly matched when it comes to 4K gaming (if anything, the PS4 just pips the Xbox for peak power), though there are plenty of unanswered questions surrounding what they'll be able to play at launch and what features are coming further down the pipeline. The role of cloud computing remains, well, a little clouded too. As for 4K movies? Don't hold out hope for 4K Blu-rays any time soon, given that the discs haven't even been finalised yet. But the future of 4K streaming looks promising – and it's likely that 4K content will start pumping its way onto our tellies over the next year or so. In the meantime, we'll just have to count down the days till November when both consoles will be released.
