Checked out Colts XNC podcast which is usually decent but man… Some of the takes. This Alex guy showing full gamer entitlement saying Campaign for Infinite should be free if they’re not releasing it as a “full halo experience” with coop and forge. Like what the hell.

Yep. That is definitely someone who feels a corporation owes them something, even though the game is going to be the most expensive that Xbox has ever produced and you can play it for the low price of a monthly sub if you want to.

Starting to lose a bit of respect for Colt tbh, he’s turning into a drama channel getting weird guests on, that’s not saying people can’t speak in a negative light of Xbox but when they start comparing Halo and CP2077 because they both had a limited edition console… yeah what a stupid thought.

Incomplete product because co-op and forge isn’t there so it should be free or cheaper? we’re not talking about a co-op only game missing co-op at launch and them shoehorning in a single player element last minute. Some people have such stupid takes it hurts my brain.

I don’t watch Colt’s videos, but if he’s having guests like Dreamcastguy and that Alex dude I don’t think I’m missing much.

Even more sus is that this is a post from early 2019

Edit: Could be Bethesda and Starfield, or Bethesda and something else

PS5 Game Compression Shrinks Tales of Arise by 20GB

Someone said they saw 40 GB in the store, but I only see 10.1 Meg placeholder on the web store and when I looked on the console all it was around 375 Meg or 285 Meg placeholders for the two different editions.

Yeah he claims to want to leave the console war stuff in his past, but some of these guests SCREAM otherwise

Plus hearing they were carrying on about delaying Halo and yeah this would be a really tough listen. I know it’s still fairly recent but the way some youtubers go on about it, it feels like they’re far less concerned about the game and much more looking for drama related clicks. And without hearing Colt and his guest’s take on it, I would bet that is what’s going on there as well

Another case of we dont know if its the famous Kraken or that the Xbox version packages all the X|S versions together.

Even looking solely at the PlayStation versions, if the sizes they specified are installation sizes, the difference between 37.201GB and 57.247GB could be elimination of duplicate assets. On last gen systems they duplicate a good portion of assets to spread them across the hard drive in order to have lower latency access to them regardless of where the hard drive read head is at.

Or this could be download size only. I think they also have situations where they have smaller download sizes but then playable game installation size is larger on the drive. So more compression on the download or some post installation routine that produces the final install image. I don’t really know what they’re doing in that situation.

I just think if it was some super mysterious compression system at work that we would had gotten some dozen articles and videos no? Just my thought.

I needed to scan something this morning for work so I set up the new scanner/printer.

HP now makes you sign into an account you create to scan something.

Fuck off.

Gotta be honest. I enjoyed Alan Wake back in the day, but feel it’s getting some serious rose tinted nostalgia induced praise right now

Alan Wake was always a very good game that had a lot of potential, the main drawbacks were the lacking enemy variety and a lack of interesting combat scenarios (though this was definitely improved in the expansions and especially The Writer) but had a very cool story, beautiful visuals that still hold up amazingly well (and now it will look amazing at 4K and I assume 60fps+) and amazing atmosphere. Alan Wake 2 could turn out really awesome if they improve the weapon/enemy variety plus the game will look absolutely bonkers on current gen.

[ProgStopper]

With no trailer though, I wonder if it’s at the Showcase with a possible timed exclusive Alan Wake PS5 tease with some form of timed exclusivity.

Timed exclusivity on the remaster or AW2? because I don’t see Sony paying for exclusivity for a remaster…AW2 is still possible though for sure.

AW2.

But EGS already has a exclusivity deal for the game, so Sony would have had to contact Remedy or the publisher for that? Not sure how that would work but it would suck, let’s not worry too much about it yet though.

[Fiendflag]

@ProgStopper

AW2.

I can see Sony moneyhatting AW2 as well as Bioshock and Playdead’s next game if the rumor about them wanting to get some form of timed exclusivity on studios/IP’s associated with Xbox.

Epic is publishing and funding the game so a deal with Sony for a year or so is not something that it’s gonna be weird. Releasing the game on the PS5 on consoles and Epic Store on PC could be the deal.
