XboxEra Community Hangout |OT2| Cracking down on shitposting

It did but it doesnt change the apparent mismanagement of the project anyway and Im sure we will learn about some stuff once the Jason article is out.

But also At the end of the day nobody will remember these issues if Infinite is a hit.

Am Hoping that Xbox and LG deal with the 4K 120hz DV thing.

Great post! I would like to see this from Xbox as well, I think this is the way to build hype. You might argue that Xbox doesnā€™t have the same trust, but you have to start somewhere.

There might also be a slight bit more focus on gameplay for Xbox fans, since we are actually good at playing games. PS-games doesnā€™t really need to show much, since guiding your sad protagonist through a forest in between cutscenes is not that complicated or variedā€¦ They know what they get.

I kid, a little.

Just a quick note regarding xCloud availability:

xCloud is available in 22 countries, and is currently in beta testing in 4 more countries. This includes countries from South America, North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania.

For comparison, PS Now is available in 19 countries ā€“ only European countries + USA, Canada and Japan.

xCloud is available to 1,4 billion people. PS Now is available to 904.95 million.

Considering the Xbox One sold significantly less than the PS4, those are some incredible numbers that show how Microsoft is working to truly make gaming available to more people. Not to mention that Game Pass is available in over 40 countries, the Series S, etcā€¦

Remember that Phil just gives them their freedom, they didnā€™t use it that well. I remember a rumor about the game being rebooted mid dev because people hated Halo 5 story.

I bet that after the showing last year, MS helped them get their shit together and Staten is proof of this move. Game will be great, and 343i will never be the same after it.

The xCloud number will soon skyrocket, I mean, as soon as W10 and iOS go out of closed beta it will be over 3 billions, lmao.

Anyway, the course is corrected right now and weā€™re in for a treat Iā€™m sure.

Days gone Is a simply example of what a small PS studio (Ben Studios is not included into the ā€œfantastic Fiveā€ Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Guerrila, Insomniac and Sucker Punch) can do with a Great quality control. For now, the only game with this quality, for me, It was Gears5 (with the last DLC) and Ori. Forza Is not my genre and Halo Master Chief collection (PC version) Is not so Epic for me, but this Is my opinion.

I really liked The Outer World, Westland3, Gear Tactis and AOE 2 and 3 definitive edition.

Well I gave Halo: MCC a 10/10 :phil_lmao: so youā€™re preaching to the wrong choir here. To each their own.

Yes, itā€™s only my opinion because every judgment Is pretty personal.

And my worries Is relating to this E3 not about Xbox future. Iā€™m sure the next Two Years Will be huge but itā€™s time to see what First party studios can do for the fans.

I simply donā€™t get when anyone compares things from there perspective alone.

If thatā€™s the norm - then every game on Gamepass to me are 10/10 and rest is 0/10.

Not recognising just because one isnā€™t interested in the genre is plain.

This year will not have much, from anyone. Next year things pick back up, from everyone. Last year was fantastic from the 1st party (publishing counts). Covid pushed back timelines severely. Sony has their games, Nintendo has their games, Xbox has already had their own games. There are big things coming yes, but people talk like thereā€™s been this insane drought when it was 2017 and 2018 that really slowed down when investment from the parent company wasnā€™t there.

This attitude is essentially the crux of most of the complaining, "If itā€™s doesnā€™t fit my criteria, then it doesnā€™t count, and therefore much concern is warranted.
