Best 4K HDR TVs For Xbox One S
Best overall Samsung KS8000

It's by no means top-of-the-range, but the Samsung KS8000 is a stunning 4K TV. Connecting the Xbox One S to this display will allow you to take full advantage of Microsoft's new console without destroying the bank.

Bottom line: Great panel, low input lag with HDR gaming, and a good price when considering included features and technology.

One more thing: The auto-brightness feature has the tendency to act strange sometimes with light detection, which could break immersion.

Why the Samsung KS8000 is the best 4K HDR TV for the Xbox One S

The Samsung KS8000 series strikes a solid balance between affordability and advanced, next-gen visuals.

The KS8000 took our number one spot here as the best overall choice for the Xbox One S for a few reasons. Starting at around $1,100 for the 49-inch variant, it's not so much of an overpriced TV set when one considers what this investment brings to the living room.

As well as 4K and HDR support, this series of display from Samsung sport Quantum Dot technology for enhanced visual quality, and offers solid levels of contrast and brightness. Not only do movies and media come to life on-screen, but also characters and action from the latest games.

Samsung's KS8000 is also available in 55-, 60-, and 65-inch configurations, with the option to bundle a 4K Blu-ray player and/or soundbar. It's worth noting that the 55-inch option is an IPS panel, while the remaining three are VA. Overall, a highly recommended purchase for anyone looking to pick up an Xbox One S.

OLED Display LG B6


The B6 series of screens by LG is part the company's 2016 line-up of displays. While considered "low-end" compared to other series, this panel (available in both 55- and 65-inch variants) is perfect for the living room and the Xbox One S. HDR, 4K, fast processor for interactive content, and OLED technology ensure you're investing in a great visual experience.

Bottom line: OLED technology, sharp picture, solid visual experience. Well worth the asking price.

One more thing: LG TVs are powered by the webOS operating system, previously used by HP on smartphones.

Affordable Vizio P


Should you be tight on cash but still want to enjoy 4K content, the Vizio P series is a great entry point. The P series comes in 50-, 55-, 65-, and 75-inch variants too. There are — of course — minor downsides to more inexpensive sets like these, including lower quality when it comes to upscaling sub-HD content.

Bottom line: Vizio is the perfect option for those with a tight budget but want to get on-board with next-gen technology.

One more thing: These TVs utilize Google SmartCast.

IPS Tech Sony X850D


The highlighted 120Hz refresh rate is great for content that supports it, especially when it comes to smooth and responsive gaming. The IPS technology included allows for quite the wide viewing angle too, which is handy when sitting one of these units on a table in the living room with a small crowd gathered around.

Bottom line: They may compete on the console front, but Sony's TV line-up can work wonders with the Xbox One S.

One more thing: Sony has Android running on this series that opens up connectivity with Google's ecosystem.

Perfect Quality LG G6


If money happens to be no issue, then we'd recommend the LG G6, the company's flagship screen. This 65-inch display is gorgeous and super-thin and the overall package is aesthetically pleasing. From the glass-bordered bezel to the superb integrated soundbar, this premium signature TV truly brings HDR and 4K content to life thanks to the excellent picture quality.

Bottom line: If you have more money then sense, the LG G6 is the perfect addition to any home.

One more thing: Input lag can be an issue for gaming, but this can considered a worthy compromise for that picture quality.

Conclusion
You really can't go wrong with a 4K HDR TV as many of the solutions available today will work wonders with the Xbox One S. That said, we feel the selection we've short-listed offer superb picture quality and the KS8000 is in our opinion the best TV in this segment for Microsoft's latest console.

Are Rockstar Set To Unveil A Major Red Dead Announcement Today?

That red and black re-colour can't be for nothing.

f298f7eacdf39e42-600x400.jpg


Could the answer to this year's hottest gaming rumour finally be coming our way? For the internet's sake, I really do hope so.

A little under an hour ago, Rockstar Games' social media accounts erupted into a sea of red and black, the colours of a little old gaming franchise called - you guessed it - Red Dead. Hot damn.


Whilst this still doesn't confirm anything concrete might be dropping today necessarily, it does show that some Red Dead-themed antics are definitely coming to consoles sooner, rather than later. I mean come on, that red and black aesthetic is as unmistakably Red Dead as a denim-clad bounty hunter dragging a hog-tied victim through Gaptooth Ridge for Pete's sake.

Of course, the franchise has sort of eluded the spotlight for sometime now, rubbishing rumours and claims that it would be showing at E3 first, and then, to cap off the disappointment that was PlayStation Meeting, at Sony's fledgling event too.

Regardless, it'd be very wise to keep tabs on Rockstar's social media feeds for the next few days, as news of a new Read Dead is bound to be forthcoming in the wake of this cryptic and, it must be said, tantalising change of online decor.

I hope so...tired of them toying around w/ the idea
 
"Update:The game may be called Red Dead Retribution. Numerous other images are also floating around which might be real or fake but there's no way of determining that. One of them is saying the game is calledRed Dead Renegade. There were also rumors floating around a few months ago that a Red Dead Redemption remaster was coming. We've reached out to Rockstar Games for comment and shall update you as soon as we know more."

Battlefield 1 Reviews

battlefield_1_cover_ea.jpg



Polygon 9/10

Battlefield 1 succeeds far beyond expectations

Small issues aside, Battlefield 1 marks an impressive, risk-taking reinvention for the series. That the multiplayer is as good and distinctive as it is is less surprising than a campaign that takes a difficult setting and navigates it with skill and invention. The end result is a shooter than succeeded far beyond my expectations, and one that exists as the best, most complete Battlefield package since 2010.


Gaming Trend 95/100

Like a bayonet charge to the face, Battlefield 1 packs a serious punch, and it looks damn good while doing it. With a revamped, emotionally charged campaign, the single-player experience is, without a doubt, the franchise’s best. The multiplayer combines solid classics and unbeatable mechanics with new modes that fit the WWI setting brilliantly. Could this be the Battlefield to end all Battlefields? It just might.


Gamespot 9/10

Battlefield 1 is just an introduction to one of the deadliest world events in history, but it is an outstanding, feature-rich package in both its emotional stories and strong multiplayer.




Metro 8/10

The First Word War setting feels a little less daring than you might’ve hoped, but as a complete first person shooter package this is one of the best of the generation so far.


Forbes 8/10

No one makes more beautiful shooters than DICE, but their gameplay still leaves something to be desired, despite what appeared to be a total refresh with the WWI setting. Fans of the series may look past these faults or even embrace them, but some of them are hard to get past, and can define the entire experience.

EGM 8/10

Battlefield 1 does a service to the series’ core fanbase with a unique, yet strangely familiar take on World War


GamesRadar 4/5




TheSixthAxis 8/10

Operations mode is the standout addition to the multiplayer, bringing together the behemoths, the destruction, the hellish screams of people charging into the fight. I do wish that the single player had been able to push on and draw more from that excellent opening, but stepping back to the First World War helps to give Battlefield 1 a refreshing and invigorating veneer to the game, and it’s lost none of the series’ explosive gameplay in the process.

Gadgets 360 9/10

All said and done, Battlefield 1 is slick, fresh entry in a franchise that helped pioneer the first-person military shooter genre. World War I has been thought of as the dawn of modern warfare and Battlefield 1 sets the standard of what to expect.

Game Revolution 4.5/5

Battlefield 1 isn’t just a great addition to the series, it arrives as a thunderous explosion that will impact the military shooter space for many years to come. A memorable single player campaign in an FPS is a rarity, and it delivers that without compromise. Operations is an instant classic for multiplayer lovers, while the other modes will keep you invested, supported by fantastic gameplay. Visually breathtaking and fun to play, DICE has delivered an instant classic that has raised the bar.

NZGamer 8.4/10

Even so, Battlefield 1 is not the enlightened superior rescuing us from sci-fi boredom. Its refreshment is largely skin deep, and none of the new additions change that; not the horses, not the trains, not the blimps, not the bayonets. Change the guns and skins to a modern flavour and you’d never know the difference. Whether that’s a concern to you is another matter. Many will find enough differentiation in the change of era and Operations mode to adopt this as their new usual, as the multiplayer continues to hover around the usual apex of fun Battlefield games normally do. While the campaign’s experimental short stories may just be the most interesting thing about Battlefield 1, this is not a niche experience to accurately portray the history its borrowing. This is a Battlefield game, and that means World War One in the Battlefield style, with all the compromises therein.

Xbox Achievements 90%

DICE should be praised for taking the risky move and turning back the clock with Battlefield 1, both in terms of the era and the direction for the franchise. Very often these moves can cripple a series, but thankfully for us – and DICE – it’s a move that has revitalised the franchise.

Hardcore Gamer 4/5

Putting to rest any qualms about the World War I setting, Battlefield 1 is a true Battlefield game with everything you’ve come expect from the franchise. The multiplayer experience is top notch thanks to some well-designed maps, a solid amount of weapons and some quality game modes. It’s a pity that Rush feels like such an afterthought, but Operations more than makes up for it. Unfortunately, the single player campaign once again feels tacked on. It’s more like a glorified eight-hour long tutorial, training players for multiplayer by throwing them in tanks and planes rather than telling a cohesive story. In the end, it’s the multiplayer that matters most, and Battlefield 1 excels at giving players the Battlefield experience they love in an era they probably won’t be all that familiar with.


Game Revolution 4.5/5

Battlefield 1 isn’t just a great addition to the series, it arrives as a thunderous explosion that will impact the military shooter space for many years to come. A memorable single player campaign in an FPS is a rarity, and it delivers that without compromise. Operations is an instant classic for multiplayer lovers, while the other modes will keep you invested, supported by fantastic gameplay. Visually breathtaking and fun to play, DICE has delivered an instant classic that has raised the bar.

AUS Gamer 9.4/10

The things I've complained about with Battlefield One--collision detection, Suez as a map, people who play Scout, matchmaking--these are all ignorable issues. And the fact of the matter is that DICE has created one of the flat-out best multiplayer games in years. And with 60hz servers from the get-go and no noticeable issues with hit detection, it has clearly learned from Battlefield 4's launch. The campaign is worth checking out, Operations delivers clear forward thinking for Battlefield as a series in a way I think Rush never really did, and the maps are absolutely spectacular. Battlefield One is utterly brilliant.

Stevivor 9.5/10

Battlefield 1 is the definitive Battlefield game not only of this generation, but this decade. By focusing on moments and emotional realism, rather than a continuous campaign, it’s crafted the best single-player experience of any Battlefield game, and backs it up with stellar multiplayer. Operations is the best addition in years, and the returning favourites suit the World War I theme to a tee. Now, I’m off to attempt to land a plane on the airship and take it down from the inside. That’s possible, right?


ThisGenGaming 9/10

Ultimately, Battlefield 1 goes back to move forward and it’s a delight to experience. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a video game that dares to throw you into the horrors of a Great War and yet Battlefield 1 feels modern, something one might assume to be oxymoronic considering the setting of 1914-1918. Whilst other FPS games this year and in previous years have switched to jet-packing and wall-running, Battlefield 1 feels like its reinvigorated a genre that I had grown tired of in recent years. By making this risky decision, DICE and EA actually have proven you don’t need to go futuristic in-order to reinvigorate a genre. In fact, DOOM as well as Battlefield 1 this year prove to me that sometimes reverting back to the basics can be one of the most refreshing experiences possible.

We Got This Covered 4.5/5

With a refreshing single-player campaign that never overstays its welcome, and the most polished and refined multiplayer mode to date, Battlefield 1 is easily the best game in the series.












 



Update 3: Confirmed. Rockstar has officially revealed Red Dead Redemption 2 coming fall 2017. A trailer will be released on October 20. It has been announced for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 at this time with no mention of PC. Hopefully it makes it in time for Project Scorpio as both have similar launch windows. In addition, it looks like Rockstar's parent company Take-Two apparently registered a domain for Red Dead Online, much like how Grand Theft Auto V has a persistent online mode aptly named GTA Online. Rockstar's website claims "the game’s vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience."
