What’s new, regrading closure, and future project?

I mean this make sense now… But happy to see what is cooking.

This has made sense for at least two years but I think I agree with Jez on that though the message is right, it’s not the best time to bring it to the masses like that because it’s still not a seamless experience to figure out, between some of their own implementations, some legal, developer-side, and other platform restrictions (iOS/Android/TVs) it’s gonna take time to be close to true to vision. I know games will never be video files, a gaming ecosystem will never be like Netflix or YouTube on its seamless availability across platforms, but what is currently available as the Xbox Ecosystem can be further optimized, is largely still in beta and not frictionless enough to be advertised to the mass market, imo.

I Wonder if they will start including a “call to action” to these ads, soon.

Something like “click here to turn your device into an Xbox” where it essentially starts streaming an Xbox dashboard after you log in with your Live Account.

Cloud streaming is still an abstract concept for a lot of people. Letting people do that and see the 400 games available on GPU might blow their minds. I did when I logged into my account on my friend’s TV to show them Flight Sim 2020 a month ago. We spent 10 minutes going through the game list.

All these Avowed previews are getting hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube and are all very positive, hit incoming.

The closure wasnt really discussed, this was more around his history in the industry, immersive sims and how player habits have changed.

He did briefly mention that he is currently trying to secure funding for his new project (he perked up, so seems excited) and that he still hopes that he has a few more projects in him before retirement.

Sorry what makes sense? I saw a few insiders teasing this earlier but haven’t seen what these new teasers are in relation too.

This is an Xbox makes sense to me, but Warren is teasing it’ll make more sense.

Ie, that’s at worst a cloud linked controller for playing on any device with a browser, or it is a handheld/xbox PC tease.

Ah ok, I understood the original reference but thought I had missed some news.

The cloud linked controller was originally called Sebile (according to the FTC leak), right?

I wouldn’t be surprised if they announce the handheld and cloud controller together.

I’ve been following battery tech for a couple of decades now and there is always the promise of something new and something big just a couple years down the road. It’s never come. Same thing with massive storage increase using data cubes for storage. Still not here.

I’m still waiting for my Flying Car. Where is it?

They actually do exist, kind of. :sweat_smile:

As in they only fly until they hit the ground?

I think there a few companies making them in China. They’re more like drones than cars, but yeah. :smile:

There’s one in Flight Simulator 2024.
