i forgot about the weak x1 port of assetto corsa comp! another game to pick up at launch?
...
whelp.
yeah that's what I figured. By not having a Dolby vision set nor any real interest in 4K uhd Blu-ray I don't think it's a massive deal breaker (for me at least)
Gears 5
Gears Tactics
Dead by Daylight
Sea of thieves
Grounded
Forza Horizon 4
Ori and the will of the wisps
The touryst
Tetris Effect Connected
I've yet to play either AC Origins or Odyssey. And yeah, this is why I'm not too shook up about no big launch exclusives on Nov. 10. My list of BC/enhanced games to play on XSX is ridonkulous.
4K/120hz Master Chief Collection coming November 17th if that means anything to you.
I hope interviewers get a bit more creative with Phil. They tend to ask a lot more about Xbox games shipping on Switch and PlayStation than digging deeper with individual studios and games. Seems the media outlets all want to create certain headlines there when I the fan would want to know more about what the hell we can expect from many of these short teaser trailers.
Yeah. The problem here is: Phil said he were not liking everyone asking about Switch ports, so it's not something they're focusing on. But after some months, Ori and the Will of the Wisps launch on Switch. So people begin to think anything could happen in this regard. Can we blame them?
I believe Moon Studios knew that "Ori 2" would launch on Switch months before the Xbox launch (or maybe since the project was greenlit). They made this deal with Xbox.
Certainly it was good for Moon, it was good for Xbox to have this game on the platform, but the benefits of exclusivity kinda turns into negative comments when done this way. When Phil talked about not liking the Switch ports questions, he knew there was at least this game still to launch on Switch. Since there was a confidential agreement to launch this great game after X months (I believe it was 6?) on another platform, should Phil talk about it before the time? Would this help Xbox in any way back then (the interview)?
So, it sounds like Spencer could drop a info like that if the interviewer has luck pressing him (they try, at least). Spencer said that it would be illegal to determine things for Bethesda before the deal is sealed. He's right. And maybe this is the hint press needed now to stop asking about Bethesda exclusives. For now.
But, as people say in my country, "You reap what you sow". Better get used to this situation, because even Xbox don't want to make a definitive statement about it. And maybe they don't need to.
I am actually a Red Wings fan. I grew up on 24 mile until I was 15.
I have never tried to hide my fetishes.
I think something might be up too, the AMD event is at 12 ET, and Phil is on the dropped frames podcast at 3 ET, seems a bit of a coincidence but maybe its something bigger
On the subject of interviews and Phil, I miss the annual Giant Bomb E3 interview with Jeff on the couch. I'm surprised they haven't done a virtual one, especially in a console launch year. It's always popular and good exposure.
Is there much else they could announce hardware wise for the xbox?
I don't think so. Maybe they'll praise DirectX 12 Ultimate.
Anyone having issues Remote playing BC games from 360/xbox? Keep getting a message saying insert game cannot be used during streaming?
nvm says is currently excludes BC games. Damn

Also..Is that in any way related to your Little Ceasar's post on Saturday? lol
They didn't even got included in the series x preview program :/
Anyway, do we have a thread that have all the bc performance benchmarks?
I think it was
I don't understand the point of tweets like that. What does he achieve by tweeting info which says something but simultaneously doesn't say anything at all?
Hmmm not a good start at all. But, not the end of the world. If the framerate and general performance is solid, that's all it needs.
I hope so. I am a new fan of the Yakuza games, and I want to play every game in the series to fill out the complete story.

I can absolutely see a third person game in the Perfect Dark Universe with an infinite budget with this team. Perfect Dark was run and gun initially, but I can see this stealing from the formula of TLOU/Uncharted with more focus on action/adventure elements. What I worry about with Perfect Dark is that it has no story. I'd really like to see narrative/writing be an immense focus for the games with big teams. That's why I'm stoked about Bethesda, but even they don't really focus on it as much as Sony's first party.
I want games from Microsoft that actually say something or try to say something. To have a message. Hellblade has that opportunity and Tell Me Why absolutely said something. But I want the big budget games to as well. That's what's missing for Microsoft.
I want something that focuses on story, but doesn't sacrifice gameplay for it. A lot of Sony's first party titles have gotten a bit stale because they've been really focused in that linear gameplay aspect where it feels really directed.
This is at the same time no knock against those games, as one of them (Last of Us) is one of my favorite games of all time, but they all kind of feel samey now and I hope Initiative kind of innovates with story focused games. There needs to be a better blending of cinematic narrative and gameplay.
That's quite the cast. Hoping it translates to quality content for us.
Does anyone know what this is? Any hints?
Launch event? X020? Something in-between?
Yeah. I grew up on Little Caesars and the Red Wings. And Mike Illitch was the only good billionaire to ever live.
Hey Jeff, quick question - is the Xbox button on the Series X controller mushy like the XB1 pad or clicky like on the Elite?
I'm just so excited that a quasi-Perfect Dark game is possibly getting this kind of attention.
NHL 95 on PC was my first introduction to ice hockey.
The Red Wings with Sergei Federov was my go-to team. Good times.
JEFFREY GRUBB Any chance you can try Lost Odyssey? It's not optimized or anything even on X1 but I remember the loading times being abysmal.
Also, still no update on Xbox Live Gold thingy?

Honestly, it makes total sense. RTX is such a resource hog and DMC should be played at high fps. I still like options (that's why I game on a PC) but if I was the one cutting features RTX would be the first to go (even if it's just reflections, which is not as intensive as many other RTX solutions.)
Hell yea..I'll always respect and support Illitch-backed franchises. He was a great man. Also having an owner like him was instrumental in building those classic 90s-2000s powerhouse teams.
So glad I waited to play Fallen Order, this is gonna be my launch title I think.
True, things haven't been great lately, but I just console myself with my memories of watching them hoist four cups :)
ToadPacShakur Stars were my second team, I grew up a fan of their farm team in the old IHL (Kalamazoo Wings). Watched Turco and others come through.
P.s. blue objectively tastes best.
Digital foundry tested this, and an external SSD gives you almost the same loading speed as the internal drive and is their recommendation for older generation games.
