XboxEra Community Hangout |OT12| The Dirty Dozen

Yeah, thats was another thing Chris dring mentioned in the latest video, that devs dont seem to be too keen on the ps5 pro

lol after all those articles where developers were blown away by the base ps5 to now they dont see the point of more power

AI has amazing potential in one sense other than the technical: to sharpen attention and focus on asking what it is what humans do art. In a sense it’s a refiguring of what has always been: bricolage, conscious/unconscious influence, human creativity in a new form. In principle these are true: after all, one can ā€˜prompt engineer’ oneself into writing a novel, at which point one has to wonder quite what the line is, and where it is, and AI didn’t invent these questions - so don’t be surprised when people respond sceptically to shrieks about revolutions and novelty. But as before, in principle, fascinating. And this isn’t the future. This is ancient.

In another sense - in the actual lived sense - it’s a tool for enormous consolidation, enormous narrowing, enormous depreciation of human value. That isn’t AI’s fault, but it is how it will be used. Call your montage art, sure, I don’t care. I don’t hate AI as such (and this isn’t even AI - ACTUAL AI would be more interesting). I hate the assumption that there are no assumptions, and I hate the systemic implications of it. ā€˜Embrace the future’ is meaningless.

That’s kind of a cunty move by Strain. I remember the doomium when he left Undead Labs a few years ago, seems like that doomium was heavily misplaced.

I still think it will sell ā€œdecentlyā€ but yeah, even compared to the PS4Pro which sold what, 15m? The PS5Pro will struggle to hit those numbers in todays climate and much more expensive than the PS4Pro was

Developer wise I’m not sure why people would care that much, they know it’s not going to be some gargantuan seller and they will still need to develop for PS5/X/S anyway so they are still going to be limited in that regard, it’s not like they can just go ham now with easy development

@Skedaddle THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT

Coming soon!

Also - Halo Community Night this friday at 2130 UK time. Who’s in?

The ps5 pro will have an even smaller installbase than the ps4 pro I predict

While pretty cool, I just cannot see anyone wanting to play D4 at 30fps.

This. Ray tracing in a fucking top down game is pointless.

Inxile are just a bunch of funny ass folks for sure. I am definitely curious about the humor in their upcoming game.

Steam crashed? I was very confused to see player count tank on some games.

All us Xbox players jumping on the Steam store to see what we might be able to play!

I haven’t played any Diablo games (when I was going to college I needed to be distraction free and I saw my friends get addicted to StarCraft and Diablo so I was like NOPE) but was thinking of trying out D4 and when I read that thing about RT I was considering playing it at 30.

I thought it was a slow paced action game and I wouldn’t need 30fps. And I’d appreciate the better lighting.

I’ll try both out.
