Oh, I didn't know that. Hmm. Maybe they can work together on the Xbox App then, at least.

It does seem to be mostly speculation. There's good reason to think there'll be something as many have been predicting a 2021 release for a while, and naturally Xbox is going to put something out (probably an extended video) once the Bethesda acquisition finally clears. I do not think we'll get any gameplay, just another CGI trailer, or maybe in-engine, showing more of the game's tone, and a hint at gameplay mechanics. We likely won't see gameplay until Todd is on our screen with 20-30 minutes set aside to whisper those sweet little lies in our ears.
Yeah, the Bethesda launcher may be the only one I've used that is worse than the Microsoft Store or the Xbox beta app lol. Those are at least the bottom two from my experience. I don't get why this is so difficult for the worlds' largest software company to pull off.
Yeah, Quick Resume works with an external USB drive just fine.
I have the Storage Expansion card and a 5TB USB HDD and Quick Resume works fine with both of them.
Well shit. Not sure how I missed this, but it's great news. I'd still probably go with an external SSD for the load times, but now I have options. Thanks!
its for devs so no idea?, hope they have some types of examples
Yeah not even a question. When you manage people, you have to be emotionally available to be a good leader. It takes more energy than what you can put a time stamp on or measure.
A lot of ps news which doesn't seem tied to any time table today... is there to counter message some other news ?
Looks like Xbox should have announced in the July showcase their games were going to release in 2021, get a bunch of press about an amazing launch year, then delay most of them into 2022 with an acknowledgment that it was inevitable...
Avowed has to be shown off this year a lot of people kept saying it would be out before fable and I was in the camp that fable would be coming out first
Fable is 2023/2024 they lack too much of dev for soonish release.
Avowed the team is already here since End of 2018/ mid 2019
Hopefully there's gameplay for Xbox and Bethesda this year. I totally understand why most everything was CGI last year. I don't need extended gameplay sections, either. 30-45 second sequences that show how games will look, play, and feel are enough for me.
indeed.
I don't think anyone actually thought GT7 and GOW would release this year.
Great to hear they are now more onboard with PC releases :)
pretty sure the avowed team and fable team are similar in size now. In 2018 they wanted to grow to 200 team members on the fable team and its been 3 years since there are 100+ people on the avowed team.
Anyone else feel like any and all mainstream VR interest kinda came and went ages ago? Even something as massive as a new Half Life couldn't make a big splash for longer than a couple of weeks.
Feels like the VR hype came and went already with a whimper once again. Strange to me that Sony is going all in again.

Where did that ever come from? I hear everyone say this but have never seen a source or anything. I know Prey underperformed, but it had decent legs via word of mouth advertising. It eventually sold around a million copies on Steam, albeit with some good price reductions. With Xbox and PS, you have to figure it at least crossed the 2 million mark.
VR is amazing but the hardware is still not where it needs to be to really take off. If Sony can get wireless with their new hardware it's going to explode
No. This is actually a video that was made back in 2014, re-edited with new footage and just reposted for hype reasons and nothing more.
There are just not a lot of game but half life VR for exemple IS the most next gen game i have played. I Hope Sony since they are all in are making games in this scale.
I know this is off topic but techland is in deep dookie so it seems https://www.thegamer.com/techland-r...t-bad-feedback/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
Yep, it's just not going to catch on in it's current state. The fact that Sony's next VR still isn't wireless is a big ooof for me.
Maybe in 5-10 years Nintendo will come out with something and it'll truly catch on.
That's what I mean. The hype is predicated on tweets from some prominent gaming personalities that may or may not have info.
PS lineup is looking rather thing right now. Returnal, Ratchet and maybe Horizon from Sony 1st parties. Let's hope for some surprises from both Sony and MS! 🤞🏽
Exactly. It's why I think Xbox is kinda sitting and waiting for the right time to explore the medium.
I think VR will continue to be one of those things where a cool experience or game releases a couple of times per year but nothing more. Nothing that is a must have or must buy.
Fable team have 2 quest designer, 5 level designer, 1 gameplay designer, 1 technical designer, 5 Game designer & 1 Creative director that's 15 designer.
Avowed Team have already a big team of at least +12/13 Area Designer (Mix of Level designer, Technical designer & Quest designer) not to mention their combat designer team, Systems designer, narrative designer, it already goes up to roughly 30 designer (and they still recruiting)
For reference :
The Witcher 3 is 45 Designer team (including writers)
Cyberpunk is 90 designer team (including writers)
HZD is 39 designer team (including writers)
Fallout 4/76 is 33 designer team (including writers)
More isn't always better though cyberpunk was a disaster and fallout 76 was also disaster. Would rather have less devs that are more talented than more devs that are not
Yes agree but that the standard for AAA development and PG has a lot of positions open for principal designer that why I think Fable is really far away.
BGS work with small team of designer comparing to AAA standard. Skyrim is one of the biggest game of the decade but have only 16 designer.
Your example shows that more isn't necessarily better. Cyberpunk had twice as many designers as TW3, but it isn't 1/3 as good as TW3, with a shallow world design.
Agreed. Either way I am very excited for both and can't wait to play them. I hope Xbox gives them a lot of support those games alone can boost the brand to new heights not even including fall out or skyrim
It is not the sort of accessory that will sell tens of millions like kinetic, plus their studios are at a different place in the timeline/cycle than Sony this gen.
Do you want Facebook login with your new shiny Oculus for Xbox that bad?
Yeah, the reserved memory cache is in the on board SSD so it should work no matter where the game itself it's stored.
I agree with your first statement but you last statement is massively oversimplifying the complicated development issues that come with huge scale and scope and ambitious systems, mechanics, and A.I. within a set budget and time and overall direction and pipeline efficiencies as well as likely making an inaccurate assumption that the devs are less talented simply due to their being more as opposed to less devs on a project.
MS is doing the right thing waiting it out until they see a viable VR solution that's mainstream ready.
All indicatiors are showing VR to be a niche currently and for the foreseeable future. Not Sonys PSVR has changed this, not a new friggin Half-Life, not Oculus Quest or Valve Index or what have you. I'm okay with Xbox being focused on Core experience instead of supporting every gimmick possible. They burned that bridge with forcing Kinect onto everyone with XBone.
Everything you just said literally attributes to adding more people to a project makes things more complicated. Games like No man sky have really small teams, and their development pipeline is better than a lot of major triple a games studios is why I said more isn't always better
For me, one of the most disappointing things MS could do right now is talk about VR. Once some of their big games start dropping and they have a consistent release schedule then I'd be open to them talking about VR and devoting resources to it.
This is how all technology hype works. Look up the gartner hype cycle.
Computers, phones, consoles, tablets - they all went through the exact same thing VR has been going through.
The media just likes to romanticize the idea of tech exploding into the mainstream in just a few years when that's impossible. Analysts also jump on this bandwagon and it results in overinflated expectations that don't agree with what industry-insiders are saying.
I mean that's what phil has been saying. It's good that PlayStation is doing it though so the market doesn't die out
Like I said I agree in general that more isn't always better, but the statement that you preferred "less devs that are more talented than more devs that are not" is an empty statement not really applicable to why some AAA games have had the issues they've had.
