XboxEra Community Hangout |OT12| The Dirty Dozen

[Doncabesa (Jesse Norris)]

I merged topics with the Toys4Bob thread

Toys4Bob is going independent

While I’m a little sad to see they didn’t want to remain first party for whatever reason (might still be some bad managers left in ABK atm?), at least it seems they’ll still be published by Xbox / Activision for now so we get the benefits of their output and they get to be happy. I’ve got friends on both sides of the “console wars” so often can overreact to news around Xbox as I get it in the neck, but in this situation if that’s what Toys for Bob wanted I’m happy for them and glad it’s likely…

Nahhhhh, absolutely not right now. I am in a super good mood.

Playing Ghostbusters The Videogame, such a fun game and so clearly made by people that care for the IP. And the 60fps is lovely. Visually surprisingly nice too.

Let’s guess who will acquire Gearbox:

Take Two Interactive should acquire Gearbox since they own the Borderlands IP.

Ah yes, good shout.

mhmm, could not find a Greedfall 2 topic so here goes

GreedFall 2 | The Uprooting Trailer

An Early Access launch is surprising but at least PC players can start it this year. I think the finished release for consoles will be 2025.

Loved the first game so really looking forward to this

With you, things fricking suck already, all the bs happening around and in the industry is sad and I feel for the people affected, but yeah a bit selfishly I’m just enjoying games a lot these days and it’s the only thing all around that has kept me happy and got even better, so I will take that positive and just focus on what’s keeping a bit of happiness in me

What is that upcoming game where there’s tons of Kings, Knights, I believe horses too and the player has guns. It’s very weird, but kinda cool.

Forgot the name.

Crown Wars?

[Staffy]

@Sparda3g

Crown Wars?

Nope, that’s not it. It’s third person and has something with king in the name.

Found it!

Kingmakers - Official Announcement Trailer

That looks pretty good.

[Staffy]

@Haven

Yep. But sadly nothing I can find about Xbox, but who knows, maybe it’ll come.

Also, very cool!

@peter42O

Watching the Xbox Era podcast from last night and during the currently playing segment, @Shpeshal_Nick talks about Helldivers 2 and that it doesn’t have a dedicated button for throwing grenades. You can customize this by going to the controller layout in the options menus and under combat, there’s an option for “quick grenade” which is blank. I set this to R1 and works perfectly. Don’t need to equip it. Can just throw it using the R1 button. I hate when shooters force you to equip grenades. It’s never made any sense to me.

Thanks for the heads up. Will do this.

I’m surprised they swallowed their pride.
