I dont think gamers where whiny little drama queens about it so I dont get why would you lump all of them into that. Quite simply the consensus is that The Summer Showcase was dragged out, dripped fed and not interesting at all and the fact that everyone is celebrating the Summer Showcase format being changed and E3 coming back proves it.

Good news pouring in, FUCK DRIP FEEDING.

A month is still too much. Just pick a damn weekend.

it’s less than one month, so hopefully like two weeks lol. Tbh that’s a much better state than dreading through 4 fucking months of forum angst lol

2471

Oh thank god that 4 month was ridiculous

Turn 10 has been redoing the engine and soft rebooting Forza Motorsport so I never understood the FH5 coming before it.

I think a week with both weekends bookending things would work out nicely. I agree, a month is still way too long.

Interesting.

Was that the AAA open-world licensed game they were talking about?

Imagine you’re Microsoft or Ubisoft or EA. What advantage is there for you to:

  1. Release your news right on top of every other company’s news where it will get drowned out?

  2. Adhere to someone else’s deadlines outside of your company when trying to develop AAA games from home (already a ridiculous task)?

“We have to have this ready to show in a week!”

“Why? There’s no E3 event…”

“Billy on the internet said he’s impatient!”

They don’t care. Nor should they.

open-world action adventure because every game is a action adventur :slight_smile:

Project Winter is fun as hell!

Been playing it with my buddies all day. You can pull off some really cool stuff and really mess with your friends.

So Keighley’s gonna do his best to truncate this thing, but remember: the publishers don’t need Keighley, just as they don’t need that digital E3, so I wouldn’t expect them to stress too much about meeting someone else’s deadlines.

I’m sorry that causes so much anguish in some gamers, but we’ll be ok. There’s a goddamn pandemic going on. Everyone’s gonna try their best. Maybe we can show a bit of empathy for developing and showing games as well as organizing this herd of cats (Summer Games Fest) during this time.

I just be playing World of Warships Legends most of my time for multiplayer lately. Me and my friend did so good yesterday we got a random friend request from somebody. Good old xbox live.

Since its a short post Ill quote it but I agree 100%

Since the launch of Series S and X, it has really felt like the Insider Program has changed for the worse. It used to be that major issues were addressed in fairly short order. Now major issues (console shut downs, eliminated Standby functionality, controller desyncs) are plaguing users of various tiers for months. In many of these instances, calls for help to the Insider Team go unanswered. More often than not, users of various tiers have only had each other to get limited assistance.

If the Insider program wasn’t ready (limited staff, etc…) for next gen, the program should have launched later on. It’s clear that many aspects weren’t ready.

Agreed.

The technical issues (especially the controller/headset issues) are really frustrating. Not sure how this stuff wasn’t caught ahead of time.

2486

The controller/headset one is infuriating because it affects me every day. How does this thing even make it to the public build???
