Avec Dolby Vision et Dolby Atmos, découvrez une expérience sans précédent sur Xbox - Xbox Wire en Francais

Les Xbox Series X|S sont compatibles Dolby Atmos depuis leur sortie et le Dolby Vision arrivera sur ces consoles au cours de l’année 2021, les deux technologies resteront exclusives à l’écosystème Xbox pendant deux ans. Mais qu’est-ce que cela signifie réellement pour les joueuses et les joueurs...

I figure this is a result of Sony creating spatial sound and using / leaning on their own audio tech.

Also I didn't know audio codec could be a timed exclusive...

 

[The Pleasure]

Most people use the speakers on their tv. Mucho exclusivito Spencer.

 

[AnotherOne]

 

[Spukc]

this is hands down the most fucking retarded thing microsoft did.

way to fuck over people that paid a shit ton of cash for a dolby atmos set. .

thank god i have a decent gaming pc.

 

[J3nga]

All these exclusive agreements are cancer and should die.

What does this mean
I figure this is a result of Sony creating spatial sound and using that leaning on their own audio tech.

Also Atmos is not a codec

 

[RoboFu]

That’s a weird get. Congrats??

 

[Blond]

 

[Kokoloko85]

Lol. MS introduced the world to Timed DLC, Timed Multiplayer Maps, maybe Timed exclusives and now timed Audio...

 

[.Pennywise]

If it's Microsoft it's bad, wrong on every way and anti-consumer

If it would of been Sony it was cool and pro consumer

 

[Plantoid]

Not for me, but a feature is a feature, I'm sure it matters for people that spend 1k+ on audio setups

 

[Kagey K]

They have had Dolby Vision and Atmos for more than 2 years already (Though Vision for gaming never got outside of the Insider testing) So why would they make this deal now?

I don't know if I buy into this one.

 

[Cravis]

This thread is gonna be hilarious

 

[Mr Moose]

 

[Akuji]

Dolby sucks. DTS sucks. Just dont interfere with my Sound and give me nice linear reproduction of Sound. Calibrating my setup for all those companies is the worst because they think its ok to Change the Sound a bit. It is Not...

 

[Fake]

Instead of exclusive games...

 

[Spukc]

Jesus fuck i am kinda salty about this.
because that means i won’t be getting dolby atmos on my ps5 exclusive games any time soon.
And as much as i like the 3D headphones audio... i fucking hate wearing cans...

fuck

 

[Blond]

Lol. MS introduced the world to Timed DLC, Timed Multiplayer Maps, maybe Timed exclusives and now timed Audio...

Timed HDR standard you can’t even notice unless you can switch between the two which is even weirder.

 

[Dick Jones]

Can't wait to play that
Xbox could have used that money for time exclusives games and compete but decided to be clowns. Release some staff since you're not releasing games.

The source is Xbox.com, though I can't read French.

 

[FranXico]

Okay.

I don't think you were regardless. Sony doesn't seem interested in Dolby.

 

[Ezquimacore]

They're just trying to hijack dolby, nobody is going to pay for dolby when spatial sound is available and free.

 

[MrS]

Kudos

 

[SlimySnake]

M1chl Moneyhats are at it again. ;p

 

[Kholinar]

Tempest Engine is better anyways.

 

[Snake29]

I'm not sure if DV will make much difference atm what i've seen so far for gaming. Hardly saw any difference between HDR and DV in comparisons.

 

[FUBARx89]

Dolby Vision is a good "get" really as it's true dynamic hdr, rather than pre coded at the start.

But none of that matters for shit when HDR is very hit and miss in gaming anyway.

I'm surprised neither Sony or MS also use HDR10+.

 

[Mr Moose]

I don't think you were regardless. Sony doesn't seem interested in Dolby.

The Dolby Vision stuff is on their TVs

 

[Zeroing]

LOL that is a new low from MS... what's next? making Samsung tv's timed exclusive to xbox ? wait... they actually could do this...

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

The Dolby Vision stuff is on their TVs

Because it's a standard feature on expensive TVs.

 

[nikolino840]

You know that spatial sound is not a sony thing?
There's windows sonic also on Xbox ,created for Windows first in 2017,and after released on Xbox One

Using dolby marketing i think is becouse everyone know..and is well wiritten on tv packeges,tv trailers and ads...

 

[ManaByte]

I don't think you were regardless. Sony doesn't seem interested in Dolby.

Their entire line of 2021 TVs have DV. Big selling point for them over other similar models.

 

[Mokus]

Does this beat Sony's Playstation exclusives?

 

[Mr Moose]

LOL that is a new low from MS... what's next? making Samsung tv's timed exclusive to xbox ? wait... they actually could do this...

It's the next logical step.

I'm kidding.

 

[Kagey K]

It's the next logical step.

I'm kidding.

The irony is that Samsung Tv's dont support Dolby Vision.

 

[Kokoloko85]

If it's Microsoft it's bad, wrong on every way and anti-consumer

If it would of been Sony it was cool and pro consumer

Also works the other way round....

Rumours of Bioshock 4 being timed Playstaion Exclusive = Sony money hating
Ms buys entire Publisher and gains IP‘s they had nothing to do with building and making popular = Great purchase and business

 

[M1chl]

M1chl Moneyhats are at it again. ;p

You are right, also feeling kinda down and want some reaction, just like it was with me yesterday? : D

 

[Kilau]

They also have VRR exclusive

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

Their entire line of 2021 TVs have DV. Big selling point for them over other similar models.

You guys realize selling tvs is different then selling consoles right?

 

[FUBARx89]

LOL that is a new low from MS... what's next? making Samsung tv's timed exclusive to xbox ? wait... they actually could do this...

Would be pointless. Samsung don't use DV in their TV's. They're using their own HDR10+. Not sure what other brands use it, but they claim it's just as good and cheaper to licence.

 

[Snake29]

It's the next logical step.

I'm kidding.

And Samsung doesn't even support Dolby Vision lol. In any case, it is the last TV brand I would buy. Not because of DV, because of the brand.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Targeting you high end audio system users. I believe Halo is going to use Atmos.

 

[vpance]

My poor Atmos speakers continue to go unused

 

[Zeroing]

It's the next logical step.

I'm kidding.

LOL

It is funny how if we see any ads from Xbox it is always something related to US and Canada only...

 

[Bernkastel]

I figure this is a result of Sony creating spatial sound and using that leaning on their own audio tech.

They had Dolby Atmos and Spatial Sound since 2017. They also have their own 3D audio tech called "Windows Sonic" since 2015.

 

[kretos]

that's it i'm buying an xbox sx

Something something… timed exclusives are bad something something… pro consumer something something…

I agree but it was just an example how I just see all this as petty console war. "oh you have an engine? well you can't have this one then"

 

[Zoro7]

Lol when you have more money than sense.
