XboxEra Community Hangout |OT12| The Dirty Dozen

I think that’s a good thing as it feels the more business forward approach. Since Xbox gets to market the game and have it on game pass with a chance to keep subs or get new subs.

The studio gets an infusion of cash from Microsoft and Sony which could cover the cost of development.

Is there a way to fully disable screen dimming on Xbox? I ask this because I want to earn a ton of money in NNK2 for the Kingdom while I’m away with the dog. So I just have my guy sit outside the castle while the money comes in, but after an hour the screen dims as per Xbox and this also makes the game pause.

Looks like hellblade is 30 fps on console. I get it. It’s the best looking game ever but to me it’s unacceptable. I’ll wait

There should be, as I remember doing so in the past, but I don’t remember where in the settings

This is my first time seeing the Vanshee, but DT is still in development as you can see from their Weibo page below. @数字天空DIGISKY’s profile - Weibo

Yep although in this instance I’m guessing it’ll hit EA Play in a year’s time so we’ll be waiting a while for Game Pass.

Games going on both services day 1 I’ve no issue with, it gives the devs plenty of cash as you say as well as ensuring it gets played

I swear I’m going to laugh my ass off when GTA comes out , is 30 fps nobody says a word about it!

Compared to what Immortals of Avenum had to sacrifice in order to hit 60, I’m fine with it. It also isn’t the kind of game that requires 60, I played the first one at 30 and it felt fine.

Is there gonna be a performance mode for Hellblade 2, or is it just 30 FPS ? Either way, I’m not bothered by that, especially in a cinematic game. I feel that 30 FPS is going to be present in many more games moving forward.

No performance mode

No biggies then, there is probably a really high level of detail, and it’s using Unreal Engine 5, so I understand.

So finally decided to try out diablo IV on pc since its on game pass.

I hate additional launchers… but for quick turnaround i understand why battle.net is still required.

HOWEVER, the fact that due to the quick implementation you now get a pop up saying you cant close battle.net unless the xbox app is also closed is a wildly stupid compromise that I hope that gets fixed. I could understand forcing b.net to be running when im playing diablo IV but now… i have to leave it running in the background unless i close the xbox app close battle.net then launch the xbox app again to launch a different game is so sillly to me.

The other thing to consider is that if it does end up being a Day One on Game Pass game (which it probably won’t be) it wouldn’t have been announced at thi drop, but would be the one in a few weeks time (if it wa going to be a deal or whatever).

Max I can set it to is 60 minutes, but not fully off. Damn, they should provide such an option. I mean i put my TV on a screensaver when I do these things. Ah well.

Wrong quote?

Is there a reason why Eurogamer consistently goes out of their way to be as biased as possible when reporting on Xbox?
