XboxEra Community Hangout |OT12| The Dirty Dozen

To be fair, in other pics, he really looks like a next-gen version of the original character. Lighting is so important in games that it can make anything look bad, especially remakes.

I remember when someone shows what happens if Last of Us 2 lighting was turned off. It makes a whole difference.

I’m in the camp that is convinced streaming is the future, with dedicated hardware eventually going away, and once that hits I can see the switch hitting even harder.

Sure, people still do buy digital movies, but not nearly to the same extent as they were at the height of the DVD era. I expect gaming to follow suit. When the need for dedicated hardware is gone and people stream games to whatever device they want, I think they’ll also stop buying those games to a large extent.

And yeah, in the short term the power of CoD and including mobile games with your Game Pass sub is likely to drive the subscription market forward even more.

What an incredibly mildly interesting tweet.

It did live up on the expectations. Still, it’s not bad to check it out during a rather slow day.

It’s amusing that no one seems to care about this. When studios are being shut down it’s “how dare they” and “I’ll never forgive them” (only when Xbox does it though), but when a mega-corp says they’ll acknowledge unions without being forced to and then actually does, crickets.

Don’t recall but I believe this is the first to confirm Xbox version.

It’s all part of the “games media isn’t biased, but Xbox always sucks” narrative. Basically, different day same bullshit.

I appreciate efforts like this because some of us have actually observed what’s happened in the industry over the past few years and certainly can appreciate the myriad of pro-consumer, and in some cases, pro-dev efforts they’ve made in opposition to some of the direct antithetical situations posed by others…

Always appreciate that Jez is one of the only ones that actually reports news.

Nice to see, 1 of the best racing games ever. Fortune island was also amazing, needle climb was always full with people drifting around with aurora borealis in the background :ok_hand:
