XboxEra Community Hangout |OT11| It Goes To 11!

Persona 5 Royal is back on Gamepass? Or did they extend it, I seem to recall it leaving on the 31st of last month but it’s showing up on my dashboard as being on Gamepass.

As for the game awards we all knew Starfield was getting snubbed, why even make a big deal about it. Beyond trailers for future games, the VGA’s are worthless as an award show. It’s nothing more than a three hour ad. No use getting bent out of shape over it at this point.

It’s out of Game Pass right now. Expecting a sale on that collection with all three for Black Friday.

For everyone developing this, I want this to succeed so badly - Zaslov has already done a predictably-great job of destroying other parts of WB, the last thing he needs is an excuse to cut WB Games staff/projects.

100% man

I really want this to surprise us all and that it turns out to be an awesome game. Rocksteady is good for it. They brought us three Batman ones, two of which are superb and one is just good. I truly wish they had made the Damian Wayne game instead, stick to your strengths. But alas. Suicide Squad so far just doesn’t look too hot, but I’d love to be proven wrong.

MS should make a deal with Nvidia: instead of developing their own hardware for AI, they should make an Nvidia exclusivity of some sort and keep buying GPUs for AI but get a guarantee on GPU for surface devices/Xbox at a discount in return. Would give Xbox a huge advantage next Gen.

They aren’t working with Nvidia for hardware ever again.

Correct. The only ones that will ever do so is Nintendo. Nvidia has burned all their console bridges in the past with Microsoft and Sony.

is it going back to it’s old price? I feel this is how they justify their price increase

I keep seeing the Twitter trolls posting the chart showing that Xbox has never had any games nominated for the Keighley GOTY.

Thought I’d have a quick look and it’s wrong…

  • 2019: The Outer Worlds
  • 2021: Deathloop & Psychonauts 2

Technically it’s now:

  • 2014: Hearthstone
  • 2015: Fallout 4
  • 2016: Overwatch & Doom
  • 2019: The Outer Worlds
  • 2020: Doom Eternal
  • 2021: Deathloop & Psychonauts 2

Even if they’re not completely right they’re kinda right as those games weren’t exclusive or fully made under Xbox. But I ask them to examine the reason maybe (they won’t), when the same people with constant documented Xbox hate and negativity are the ones voting in these awards.

Add in Sekiro as well. Another Xbox published game that won.

One of my old haunts won’t either… something about how getting burned on a multi billion dollar project will do that :wink:

I mean, MS’s AI is all currently ran on Nvidia GPUs and they do have Nvidia GPUs on some of their surface products so MS has a healthy relationship with Nvidia.

The only problem would be getting an all in one solution like they can with AMD though but the advantages of going for an Nvidia GPU would be insane and give the next Xbox a clear advantage.

Also, as far as we know all the big CPU/GPU makers are developing/developed their own ARM solutions, so an all in on solution using ARM could be in the cards if they truly are heading that way according to the leaked timeline we saw; unless that was only planned for the Xbox streaming console.

True, the main argument I see is that Xbox didn’t own them at the beginning of the development but Sony acquired Insomniac a year after Spider-Man…

Also Xbox provided Double Fine with more time and funding…

At this point it feels like Xbox could acquire every studio that released a 85+ Metacritic game in the past 5 years and they will still say Xbox doesn’t have quality studios.

As long as we have people like Jim Stephanie Sterling who straight up says they hate Microsoft and other outlets like Metro, say goodbye to good metacritic scores. I don’t expect objectivity from these people.

I disagree. They need to start making it hurt the bottom line of the people that employee people like that. Make those biased individiuals unemployable.

As far as other actions, setup contracts with these media sites that provide coverage and stuff, but include terms that prevent negative language and negative coverage.

I know for a fact that this type of language is included in all kinds of contracts in media.
