I think people should stop expecting any form of game pass on ps5, switch. That isn't every going to happen. Internal studios aren't making games that will run on those platforms. At this point its just xbox/pc. First party devs can focus solely on that.

At best xCloud could come to those platforms. That doesn't disrupt what Microsoft is doing internally

What's going on with MS announcing all the stuff on Twitter, bring us X020 c'monnn
It's because Twitter is their strongest PR play this gen. Every event they've held since at least e3 2019 has been divisive. Every tweet they put out gets good press and lots of love.

Personally, I want them to stop having events and just focus on blogs and twitter posts. I'm hype every day for new news at 9AM. Maybe at a maximum, run developer diaries like State of Play on YouTube. I get everyone wants to be hype and excited but in reality, they've RARELY met the expectations of critics.

Those are the games from the 30 launch games I actually am most interested in and I'll start with playing FH4. The game is just so good.
MS has had deeplinking available in the Xbox One since 2013 lol

It was just rarely used since it took forever for games to boot and then actually go to what you clicked.
Really? Care to share a example? :O
What FPS does the XOX UI runs at? Is it 60? I feel that's way more important than resolution.
120FPS apparently.
To me the UI is part of the next gen experience. Newer, snappier, sleeker. I like when the UI reflects the sexy capabilities of the console itself. I don't feel like Microsoft agrees and that.'s fine. But I don't think I'm some crazy fanboy for thinking that a 1080p UI on a 4K console is a bit wack.
I think Microsoft makes more changes than others to their UI and I prefer this over having a new UI after 6-7 years. Obviously to each their own.
WHAT ARE THEY BUILDING WITH THIS TALENT?

Damn.
I am so excited to see their game with all the talent. Will be a gem.
I asked in another thread but does 1080p to 4k really require an extra Gb or vram?
Yes. Xbox One X would've needed 1GB more RAM back when it released.

I am a Senior 3D Archviz and Environment Lightning Specialist, based in Hamilton Ontario, lived in Tampa Florida for two years and most of my life in Milan Italy and born in Vancouver Canada. With more than 15 years of professional experience in the Architectural Visualization Industry I work...

this guy is talented...damn.
Wow.
People don't realize when we criticize this stuff, we get change. Xbox, more than most companies, actually listen to feedback so often.
I agree. But in the case of the UI I just hope they don't listen, because fact of the matter is a 4K UI needs more RAM, which would mean less RAM for games.
I don't work in the games industry but I started my career at smaller privately held
companies and I'm now at a much larger public company. And I know it sounds counterintuitive but I am so much happier being a small cog in a much larger machine. There are so many more and better resources that you can get access to when your have the backing of a large corporation. Not to mention the lack of stress that comes with knowing your work for a stable company. Obviously there are other things that come with it like corporate politics, etc. but I don't mind those.

I wonder if some of these devs that have been acquired or are moving to MS feel the same way also.
I think that's a underestimated advantage, because as a first party you have access to a great studio family, which can help you with advice or share tech.
" And here's a surprise: Spencer says some games load faster on his S than his X because they're loading lower-res graphics. "
Yep, and not surprising, considering the SSD is the same, while the Series S has less RAM to fill.
Does it deserve a new thread?
RDNA1? No the Xbox has actually RDNA0,5. Jokes aside, no this doesn't deserve it's own thread, because even AMD said Xbox and PS use RDNA2.

One of the things the OS used to do way back was with specific achievements, you could have the achievement take you to the mode/section/game type you need in order to get the achievement. It would just take forever for the game to boot and load into that option for it to be useful.

The first thirty minutes or so of Brutal Legend is maybe the best game I've ever played. After that, I feel like things fall apart pretty quickly. I would love to see Double Fine take another run at it even though it seems very unlikely.

I remember liking a couple of hours of it, at least. Great soundtrack, too. It definitely went in a direction I didn't like, but maybe now, years removed from its original release, I can get past that...

The more you know. I hope the features comes back then. Including the PiP mode. In a way the Xbox One OS was ahead of its time xD

So.. ok...

Xbox Brazil decided to fire its host after she suffered threats of rape and death by the community instead of supporting and protecting her.

Sigh... I really hope this reach MS main branch and something changes in Brazil, that's all XboxBR fault, in the past they supported a racist and misogynist group, and that's the result!

This is incredibly fucked up. Higher ups at MS need to get involved and the whole team behind that branch needs to go.

We are searching the globe for our next hyper-creative Senior Gameplay Designer to work on our unannounced, next-gen project.

Didn't Spencer just recently solved a huge issue with the brazilian team? What's going on there? Disgusting.

I think so, but I guess no one was fired, the only thing that happened was the disassociation of the MS brand with the group, and some legal process.
However in my opinion, it was too late (they took years to take some action), now the Xbox Community in Brazil is really really toxic.

Was kind of hoping for a third person RPG by Inixile due to the wealth of first person RPG's we already have to look forward to (Starfield, Avowed, ES6, Fallout new game etc.) but I'm sure whatever they cook up will be exciting

Ok this one is pretty good 😂


They are just as petty and lame as the original video was
Xbox News isn't official. If this video isn't official, then Xbox News REALLY SHOULDN'T label it as such. It's a bad look, cuz it's not even as well done as the original XD IMO. But.. gosh, I hope it's not official :/

Didn't Spencer just recently solved a huge issue with the brazilian team? What's going on there? Disgusting.
Yer. Well, more that the Brazil team didn't cut ties with a really racist and just all around terrible fan/influencer who was associated with Xbox. So yea, they had to step in. Seems like some of that same crowd is involved in the harassment here. :/

Wait for it..!

I loved it to begin with, too. I should give it another chance.

Oh no.

Well, if it takes a massive shit soon I play there dozen or so games in my pin list I've been itching to play. #gamepassproblems

TheFurizzlyBear Hey quick question (assuming I have the right bear), if I preordered a system via All-Access, can I still take my Xbox One in now to trade it in for the full promotional value? Or no?

A Dino Crisis remake would be amazing! Although I do hope the next "big" game from Capcom apart from Resi 8 is Dragon's Dogma 2! Then we should get a DC remake.

Reading up on all this and it's so gross - it's like the Xbox Brazil management group is the manifestation of the shit I read on Twitter and Era sometimes. Hope MS gets it together - so unfair to the host

Honestly, I love first-person RPGs because of how much more they bring me into the game world. Of course, third person games have their own advantages, but it's never the same for me. Avowed, Starfield, Elder Scrolls, The Outer Worlds, Fallout, Arkane's immersive sims..... keep this train rolling inXile.
