XboxEra Community Hangout |OT11| It Goes To 11!

I’d love to see them roll out their “All Stars” brand to other genres other than kart racers which include all their characters including Angry Birds.

Probably a bit of both, it will be interesting to see what improvements The Coalition will bring to UE5 because as of right now the engine seems very demanding but at the same time it doesn’t seem to be worth it visual and performance wise at least IMO.

Also I am really curious to see how other high-end engines will perform on the current gen consoles, like what will be the resolution and frame-rate targets for 4A Engine, id Tech, ForzaTech, RE Engine, Anvil, Northlight e.t.c.

With you 100%. I’m not seeing neither big visual nor other design improvements, and the performance cost is huge.

I think those will perform better than UE5 and even look better and cleaner and more distinguishable.

I have one full-price purchase for the rest of the year and I think I’m gonna spend it on Alan Wake 2. I’m just gonna wait for impressions first, I hope they finally fix their repetitive encounters problem, I think they do because of the dual-protagonist but I’ll wait for confirmation. Game looks cool af

It’ll be interesting to see what UE5 looks like in the hands of a team with an AAA budget. I believe all of the examples this far (outside of Fortnite) have been AA games. Definitely looking heavy in the resources so far.

i reckon the Immortals of Aveneum is going to be a pretty good experience as those who are making it are known to do good gamefeel, but it’s not likely to hit the EA playlist for months, and also is coming out right before the biggest games of the year by some distance.

related: i’ve always wondered; do you think third parties get annoyed with platform holders when the compete for gamer’s time? like EA have to be cozy publicaly with Xbox, but man anything launching around Starfield and Forza even close to it is going to struggle to find an audience

I just mentally add like 9 months to the release date of every EA game cuz I am not excited enough about any of them to jump in knowing they’ll hit Game Pass lol.

When we get a Mass Effect or a Dragon Age I won’t be able to wait, but these other games? Haha

They should really bring the full service with day one to console, it’s only on PC you can get that.

lmao rockstar is never going to make quality ports because Red Dead performed well in sales on all platforms. I don’t blame people buying it if they’ve never played the game because it’s an all time game, but damn.

This is PSN (Canada)

I want a Yakuza game where the protagonist pulls up his phone and I can play a game of classic Angry Birds.

That is likely to happen. I’m willing to bet on that.

According to dude named Rino on Twitter Crimson Desert has been confirmed for ONL.

I hope that’s true, been waiting on that one.

Is that game still an MMO? If it’s anything like Black Desert. Easy pass for me lol.

From what I remember is that it started out as one and then they decided to go the SP route with it. That’s why they got my attention, haha.

I hope its true. I still think it a MMO though, Just with more single-player story elements.

I did a quick search and that what it said.

Geoff confirmed it I believe.

If the hair of Street Fighters 6 characters did not look so messed up on Series S I think I would happily downgrade back to a Series S! I’m serious.

I would actually like to have the chance to downgrade the specs to Series S to avoid going over 200W just for a few pixels

Btw The hair still looks bad on Series X!

  1. Alan Wake II *
  2. Assassin’s Creed Mirage *
  3. Black Myth Wukong *
  4. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
  5. Crimson Desert *

I’m more hyped for ONL than I was Keighley’s SGF back in June as there’s more here for me. Five games for me above and im expecting a Stalker 2 release date trailer especially if it’s this December and im expecting the reveal for Metro 4. So that would be 7 games being shown that im hyped for. I believe that Sony will have a release date trailer for Helldivers 2 and Microsoft will show a few things. So overall, I think Keighley’s ONL is becoming his second best event after The Game Awards. Best of all, im off Tuesday so I can relax and just watch ONL.
