XboxEra Community Hangout |OT11| It Goes To 11!

Something that has been extremely disappointing (in a 1st world problems way) is that many (maybe all) of the old Bethesda games on Game Pass don’t seem to support cross save and have separate Xbox and Windows achievement lists. I’ve been hoping to dive into Wolfenstein and Dishonored and would have loved to be able switch back and forth between my Xbox and ROG Ally (natively).

Why did you wait? Its basically a remaster on Series S and X with 1440p/4k at 60fps and costs only 20 bucks :woman_shrugging:

Would be nice if Blinx was rebooted with redesigned cooler looking characters. Certainly, a solid platformer could be a hit with the kids.

I guess that requires doing Windows app specific port for each game

They have Crash, Spyro and Banjo, why reboot something that was never liked or popular when you 3 of the most recognisable mascots ever

They have MS Store specific versions - However most publishers weren’t really into Play Anywhere (and many still aren’t) so MS Store listings were separate. A lot of Zenimax games are from before acquisition, and they have separate listings for Xbox & PC.

I think there are few games that don’t support Play Anywhere, but can use the same listing for achievements and saves, and some games that are Play Anywhere, but cross save is not working, but those are rare cases.

Yeah, I think it works better to have it all done within a week. I understand generating hype, but I sometimes feel that long of a wait makes people go crazy with predictions and whatnot :sweat_smile:

especially when its once a year

My main gripe is the fact they don’t stop or halt or anything. With many industries, it’s usually this month and one or two very small ones down the road; Embracer feels like there’s a new one every month. It’s painful.

yeah plus most of them were AA with a mix of AAA in between and its the studio and the people who were happy to have some security at the time now not so much
