XboxEra Community Hangout |OT11| It Goes To 11!

None, just the same stuff we see in the forums. I like the KF Xcast, but as Parris stated, they don’t have the technical knowledge to really discuss this stuff. It’d have been better if they’d reached out to have someone from Xbox, like Jason Ronald, on the show instead.

I’m still in the boat that only a few people knew Forza had split screen in Forza 7 and Forza 7 only. Because Turn10 decided to mention it, I feel that people are thinking this was like Halo, where split screen was always a thing.

Thanks, Xbox. Now I’m ready for Starfield.

This presumes someone would choose PS5 over Series S… Xbox platform is more appealing to some gamers than PlayStation platform. It’s more important to me to have at least 2 Xbox’s, a pc, and a Nintendo. Obviously this is my personal preference but PlayStation is lowest on my priority list. I was frustrated with my ps5 and since trading it in, I haven’t missed it. I will get a PS6 or whatever, but that whole ecosystem is pretty unappealing to me. Hell I would even put a Switch 2 and SteamDeck 2 higher on my interest meter than PS5. :man_shrugging::peace_symbol:

One thing that I think has been mentioned before - just dropping the disc drive doesn’t actually cut the build costs by that much. It’s always felt like Sony hasn’t made the digital version that available even though it exists for exactly that reason - they can say it starts at $400 but you mostly can’t find it.

If Xbox were to come out right now with the X without a disc drive, their actual costs would probably be only about $20 or so lower, but then it would be a third sku for retailers, and they’d have to charge less in order to sell them, and it probably wouldn’t actually do that much for their sales.

This is a cute encapsulation of why I drifted from PC gaming. I spent more time “tweaking” the system and drivers for decent performance than actually gaming. I almost drifted from console gaming because I was tired of the excessive load times.

Simplicity (and now speed) of the Series X console is probably the biggest factor in why I still make time to enjoy this hobby. That, and the Xbox controller is the only one so far that doesn’t cause fairly quick discomfort to my hands (injuries from my youth and early working career).

‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III’ tries something new: Player freedom (msn.com)

It says I can play quiet or go in guns blazing & it will adapt the campaign to me. This makes the upcoming Call of Duty game more interesting to me than any I’ve seen in a while. I might actually check this one out eventually, especially if it’s included in GP.

Personally I would go for Eneba. Can often get Argentina or Turkey codes for a very nice price. It does require you to use a VPN though, it’s hardly a hassle.

Is that site safe? Because that price is very tempting for a game I didn’t have on my radar

I jumped on that deal yesterday after Wario64 tweeted it out. A lot of people were saying the site is legit after they bought physical stuff from them.

Gotcha, F it might as well try it out and if anything goes wrong I can contact paypal or my credit card provider

Yeah. I paid through paypal as well just in case it really isn’t legit.

See they’ve release the PC requirements for Immortals of Aveum and they’re pretty insane:

Both Series X and PS5 are slower then 2080 so 1080p console gaming is here to stay :sweat_smile:

I don’t know if this is suboptimization or UE5 is that demanding
