XboxEra Community Hangout |OT12| The Dirty Dozen

First time hearing about these things, AI upscaling sounds pretty self explanatory to me but what is Frame Generation?

Generating new frames from existing ones - it’s one of the new fancy features of FSR3 and DLSS3. Compared to actually doubling the framerate, it doesn’t help with input latency, but extra frames still make animation smoother.

Or the revival of 1313? Nah, probably not. But they got my attention!

Frame Generation is the biggest boost in DLSS 3 (Nvidia) and FSR3 (AMD) - it pretty much generates frames. The boost depends on the situation, but some have been going from 50-60 fps to being in the 100-110 fps range.

One nice perk from using Frame Generation is both usually comes along with Latency Lowering technology use too, so the game experience feels smoother than it was before when running without Frame Generation. Nvidia’s branding name is “Nvidia Reflex”. I don’t recall what AMD’s name is.

That sounds very good! Exciting.

And just to be sure, AI upscaling I assume has to do with resolution, right?

Yes. But that one was around for a while now. Starfield uses it on Xbox.

I hope that we hear some new news about Playdead’s next game soon

No Rest for the Wicked 8 minute gameplay trailer from IGN -

Looks awesome. A little souls like and need to know more. Thankfully, there will be a showcase on March 1st, 2024 that should have a lot more info.

I’m sad it’s launching into early access, means I won’t want to touch it for a year or more.

I didn’t even know that it was launching in early access. But researching it, it was delayed from Q1 2024 to Q2 2024 and early access is just for PC. Full release will be PC, Xbox Series and PS5.

I’m surprised that it’s even launching in early access. I figured that this would be a smaller Diablo type game and when you’re done, you’re done but I guess not since they’re launching in early access.

Oh well. Still on my list and looking forward to their showcase on March 1st as I just want to see more of the game itself.

Baldurs Gate was EA too, so not like they are limited to GaaS.

True but Baldur’s Gate 3 is self published by Larian where as Wicked is being funded and published by Take Two Interactive. I would think that it would just be a normal release but obviously not.

Could be doing it to make a better game (receive and act on feedback) as opposed to providing early income.

Yeah, true. It looks good. Just needs some polishing based on that 8 minute gameplay video. I am looking forward to it, that’s for sure. Since it’s going in early access, it will probably be a 2025 release if I had to guess as I can’t imagine Take Two Interactive releasing the full version in Q4 2024. But we’ll see.

All I said was that I had heard similar to what MAGG said on Colt’s show.

That Jason wasn’t leading on the next Xbox

This is a good read and I think the reason Jason won’t be leading the next Xbox seems solid.

Is it clearly stated that we will be signing into these games on Switch and PS5 with our Xbox Network log ins, and getting access to our save files and progress?

Because, if so, that gets my interest.

Does this make sense? Because Diablo 4 being online means all Xbox game pass subs won’t be able to play it. That’s also without including core, so this feels like a messaging issue from having 4 subs with a similar name.

Ah well, I guess it could mean most Xbox live users just got game pass before the rest got switched over to core.
