We'll probably get some stuff from MS at Gamescom.We getting anything from Xbox this month though? I know grub said something was pushed to September, but is that everything?
Agreed. Should be a no-brainer deal to get Batman games for next gen associated with your console.I think if MS is smart the get matketing for the upcoming WB games. No crazy exclusive stuff. But i think its good to have one of the biggest superhero universes "associated" with your brand.
From what shinobi602 said in "his" thread, we will get something - just not everything that was initially planned.
Ah yes, Gamescon. Thanks for that reminder!
What I hope we hear, just in general, is more about backwards compatibility of Xbox one games, because I think it would be convincing to an average gamer to see Jedi Fallen Order at a stable 60 fps. Or dark souls 3 at 60 fps with hdr or whatever. It could really be their ace in the hole. Even older 360 games could be up-FPS'ed with HDR according to their blog post. I want to see more of that but I have a feeling that won't be shown and instead it'll be up to the community to raise awareness
I'm pretty sure DF have been called MS' PR lackeys for suggesting XSX might perform better than PS5. I just can imagine the shit they'll get once the first comparisons will start coming in, if Xbox will really bring meaningful improvements over PS5.Am I missing something in there?
John seems not to be talking about toxic console warriors, while Albert does.
Getting marketing also means blocking the other side from getting exclusive content, so it's a double-win.I think if MS is smart the get matketing for the upcoming WB games. No crazy exclusive stuff. But i think its good to have one of the biggest superhero universes "associated" with your brand.
Oh jeez. Ok, yeah that's too bad. They should probably brace and just accept the hate that is going to come their way.If you look at the replies, it's fairly clear he's talking about console warriors. He even tells one to eff off :D
Or even better buy all the studios and get Batman exclusive to your console. That would be absolutely massiveAgreed. Should be a no-brainer deal to get Batman games for next gen associated with your console.
And absolutely awful. Say no to Exclusives.Or even better buy all the studios and get Batman exclusive to your console. That would be absolutely massive
.And absolutely awful. Say no to Exclusives.
This isn't a team sport.
Sorry for being stupid, but do you mean it is currently working on Surface?
🤷Or even better buy all the studios and get Batman exclusive to your console. That would be absolutely massive
Please tell me how. I didn't know it was available on the Surface.
In new games, I think it's possible it's going to be really close. But for older games, what if the difference is doubling the fps? That's the more interesting thing to me. What does that back compat look like, do people care? I'm excited to see how things shake out. I have no idea how things will pan outI'm pretty sure DF have been called MS' PR lackeys for suggesting XSX might perform better than PS5. I just can imagine the shit they'll get once the first comparisons will start coming in, if Xbox will really bring meaningful improvements over PS5.
And btw, it was the same at the start of current gen. I remember some very toxic Xbox fanboys calling out DF for being paid by Sony because they were showing PS4 was the better hardware. Pfff.

Yes, they skipped OT 3, but then they were "forced" to have OT 5 & OT5 Part II. Some people on this thread claimed skipping OT 3 made PS5 look more popular than It is.Hah, yeah, they skipped OT 3 the first year Sony wasn't at E3, they went straight to 4 and the title was like "were skipping 3!" it was pretty funny I thought. I don't know if they ever adjusted their numbering after that, but I don't think they did, so I'm pretty sure we're both on our 11th thread.
Please tell me how. I didn't know it was available on the Surface.

Where's the pun lol?Yes, they skipped OT 3, but then they were "forced" to have OT 5 & OT5 Part II. Some people on this thread claimed skipping OT 3 made PS5 look more popular than It is.
No pun intented. Good day
If you guys are talking about Xcloud it's not. The only Surface it will work on is Duo because it's Android.
Oh man, my excitement went sky high and crashed in a matter of seconds lol. Fingers crossed it gets a public beta soon then.It's not available yet. It's in private testing. The private test works on Surface.
Hands-on with Microsoft's Project xCloud Xbox streaming app for Windows
Recently, we got our hands on the Project xCloud Xbox Game Streaming test app, offering us a glimpse at how the service works on PCs. As you might expect, it's gooooooood.www.windowscentral.com

The public beta was scheduled for 2020 at X019 but with the current situation it's hard to know if that still the plan.Oh man, my excitement went sky high and crashed in a matter of seconds lol. Fingers crossed it gets a public beta soon then.

They also got heat for their halo infinite video.They got a lot of shit for being positive about Gears 5, as well. I'm sure they get a load of shit from all sides :(

Makes perfect sense. Hopefully they can get it out in some form, be it beta or even just a public alpha soon.I don't think it's too far away given that we are seeing public info about the test app, probably just another COVID victim.
Grounded’s first major update launches this month
Monthly updates are coming to Grounded, and Obsidian's got a few hints about what's in storewww.pcgamesn.com
Spiders and now mosquistos... It just needs some centipedes and wasps too and we're done. This backyard is going to become pure hell on earth lol.
This game has such a potential, I'm glad it will have monthly updates.
The Playstation one? I didn't know that!
Albert Penello actually commented on this on Twitter yesterday in response to John Linneman saying this is the worst ever lead-up to a next-gen PS/Xbox launch.
He said the toxicity is always at its worst the 3-6 months up until launch of the consoles, where people go full warrior-mode, and then after that they usually chill out when they start playing games.
See below:
Right? I didn't realise it was so soon until I started writing that post.It's so crazy to think that we're only 12 weeks away and still know so little.
Official Staff Communication
Note: This has been posted to both Xbox and PlayStation community OTs.
Recently there has been an increase in inter-community sniping and general meta commentary about the gaming forum. Complaints regarding it have continued to increase and the threads are both being made increasingly unpleasant by a minority of users who think it's acceptable to retreat to the safety of their community OT to gloat or antagonise other members/communities from afar. This is unwanted by the vast majority of our members and it needs to stop now. In the interests of community cohesion such posts will be moderated harshly from now on.
Yeah they should get Batman.
Marketing rights + day one on Gamepass.
I loved these old Gamepass ads with Batman on it.
Just to be fair - I said it was no worse this time than last time - in some ways I think people are more used to social media and there is a lot less skullduggery going on (e.g. MrX media on one side, cboat on the other). In addition, while I know Era takes it's hit's I find it much less tolerant of BS and much more fair moderation than the old site which helps a lot. Xbox fans forget sometimes that there are, globally, at least 2x the number of PS fans and so they are always going to be the underdog. John is seeing it because he's more vocal and has a bigger following. From my seat, it's about the same.
I also don't think one side is worse than the other. I think both platforms have their dark side fandom. But as above, if you're going to have 2x the number of proponents you're probably also going to have 2x the number of vocal warriors.
So do think there is a lot of console warrioring going on? Sure. I think it follows a clear pattern and and in this period before launch, people are campaigning for their candidate.
The reason I'm more quiet these days is that people are on edge. I'd love to chime in more, but even when I thought I was making reasoned comments yesterday on the board got people spun up. All this debate about tflops, SSD performance, variable vs. fixed clocks etc. will be answered soon enough when the games start coming out and then we can get back to normal.
To be fair, we've been predicting a return to normalcy for months now. I think people keep trying to hold to old patterns, in the midst of societal and personal transformations that are putting all of us on edge. I'm sure the experience of the toxicity is real bad when you're in the middle of it all, and you're forced to put on a brave face and just smile through it all (however does Phil do it). That said, while I certainly can't comment on any differences in quantity or quality of fanboying or toxicity or whatever, I think it's also ok to say that it's not surprising that this is the worst console launch experience for any number of reasons, including the absolute crap mood that the entire community is in right now that has gotten taken out on the bystanders. We've all been kind of down for half a year or more now. Even the games are kind of depressing and brutal lately.Just to be fair - I said it was no worse this time than last time - in some ways I think people are more used to social media and there is a lot less skullduggery going on (e.g. MrX media on one side, cboat on the other).

Thanks for chiming in! Your reasoning is absolutely on point - if anyone has convinced themselves that one "side" has more toxic fans than the other, I think what they're really seeing is that Playstation just has a large following and in this console lead up, where things are extra heated as you mentioned, it becomes more apparent.Just to be fair - I said it was no worse this time than last time - in some ways I think people are more used to social media and there is a lot less skullduggery going on (e.g. MrX media on one side, cboat on the other).

Yeah, we're crazy close and yet here we still are none the wiser. I don't think there ever has been. At this point we may as well expect another Saturn style announcment. The XSX and Ps5 available...now actually, the cashier will let you know how much lol.Right? I didn't realise it was so soon until I started writing that post.
Is it unprecedented to be so close to a hardware release with no price? I can't remember for last gen(s).
Gotta say.. as someone who is a sports fan, video games fan, and a fan of many other pastimes... I'd like to safely say that as a whole, gaming can have the worst toxicity per capita compared to any other type of fanbase. Let alone which platform they game on.I'm more with Vulture on this who does the Worst Dedicated Fanbase brackets, there is something to be said about different products/people attracting different types of fans and it can't all be down to numbers. Or more accurately like Vulture's thing is named, different things have different dedicated fans or "fanboys", whatever.
I agree with the tweet that things are always bad and calm down to a certain extend and that this cycle is not much different.
Oh man. I'm guessing you're too diplomatic to answer but how aware were you all of misterxmedia et al and what did you make of him back then?Just to be fair - I said it was no worse this time than last time - in some ways I think people are more used to social media and there is a lot less skullduggery going on (e.g. MrX media on one side, cboat on the other). .
Maybe it's because I just read a story about Dallas soccer fans booing kneeling players on their team that I can't even come close to agreeing with this. At the same time, in different cities/sports that wouldn't have happened. Which goes back to my not all fanbases are equally toxic point.Gotta say.. as someone who is a sports fan, video games fan, and a fan of many other pastimes...

And did you ever track down ntkrnl in real life?

Weird that there's no rumours about each platform at this time.
Totally fair and thanks for the reply. I worked at MS at the time, nowhere near xbox org but it still felt so frustrating to see those leaks. Thanks for posting here still, I really appreciate your analysis and insights. I think misterx is still around... Come on when will you be enabling that hidden gpu??So I never concerned myself too much with Misterxmedia as his claims were so outlandish it surprised me people believed any of it. My only take there was just to say it wasn't true (a fact forgotten when people want to say I was just a shill and a liar.). I think that person/account still posts doesn't it?
I do know the whole story behind ntkrnl and, unfortunately, it's not something I can ever share for legal reasons. That's not to be a tease or anything but that was a very, very interesting situation.
I think people are just collectively done with leakers thanks to Summer Games Fest. Which I see as a blessing.
