In that case, I would knock out the shorter games like Control and Alan Wake 2.

Seriously though, that running pose strongly invokes the TV show over the games. Smart marketing.

They should have given the Spartan virtual training program in the TV show a name and then rename Halo Infinite to that. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

And these are not inflation adjusted figures. Must be a horrifying chart for Hardware makers.

Not sure what the hell is going on here, but while it’s only 21 degrees outside, the air is ridiculously warm, it feels like 30 or more and it is disgusting. It’s like when you visit the zoo and the area where the crocs are, it’s that kind of humidity. Been nothing this several times this year now. Last year too, but at least that was in the summer. It’s April ffs now.

Seems it’s only gonna get worse really.

I gave a shit when playing Tekken 7, just an awful look.

Instagram post by Tameem, co founder of Ninja Theory on his departure. Looks like he was ready to step away but stayed on to see Hellblade 2 to fruition. He is also very grateful to MS for supporting NT (and his massage parlour fund). pic.twitter.com/gTPv4UqGEv

It was 35c/95f here today (Perth, Australia). Don’t remember it ever being this hot at this time of year. I saw on the news yesterday that some semi rural areas are having trucks of water sent out to them because it’s been the driest 6 months in recorded history and there’s nothing in their rain tanks. Depressing af.

Australia? Holy shit I can only imagine. Hopefully this is not an indication of what the summer will be like. Man I miss the days leading up to summer where Spring is just a nice temperature outside, the air is pleasant and not this warm/tropical feeling. I notice it with Lara, my dog as well, she really doesn’t cope well with this.

Tekken 7 and Soul Calibur were on sale 15 bucks a pop, I decided to not get them because of this.

I sure as hell would give a shit, because the larger your display, the more easy you’ll notice it. Sub 1080p on a system such as XSX would honestly be unacceptable in my book. I did not buy a next gen system for that.

As for Starfield, a 40fps option would have been great, but maybe they couldn’t get that to work without too many cutbacks. I do wish MS Studios did more with this. Like how XSX is the ONLY console that has Plague Tale 2 running at 40fps when console is set to 120hz.

Those are both 720p or so? I remember Tekken indeed looking very bad.

Which SC? SC6 was 1440 on Xbox.

SC6 looked fine. Tekken 7 looked like hammered shit though.

Game Pass games tend to leave the service after a some time, this could end up being a bit of a headache.

Don’t know what it means but you can buy Game Pass games at a discount so these games could be sold perhaps they have a Game Pass code. It certainly seems like they’re gearing up for something over there.

So they just have empty boxes showing those games are on GP?

Or do the boxes have GP codes in them?

With how negative news solar eclipse everything, you wouldn’t think there’s any good news.
