Gamepass PR isnt amazing , its general PR . Xbox individual games have next to no PR .

Does the level of hyperbole have to increase with every post you folks make? Marketing is not just about the main xbox YT channel.

Are you aware of how Psychonauts 2 was done or how Forza is being done? Just saying there is zero marketing has to be disingenuous.

Criticizing the main channel YouTube strategy is fine. Saying each game has zero marketing is not.

GamesRadar speaks of previewing Suicide Squad, so I wonder if we might even see a gameplay demo, maybe of both Gotham Knights and SS? But trailers containing gameplay would be fine too.

Iā€™m probably not watching this live though.

Going live with Crysis 2 Remastered

Does anybody continously experience broken gamechat? Like seriously ever since the Series X released and crossplay is a thing the xbox recognizes Im in gamechat, I can talk and stuff but audio doesnt come through the mic. Ive seen it in rogue company and now insurgency sandstorm for examples.

Yesterday I was playing Back 4 Blood with my friend and while we were on a party we had double audio cause the chat was going to the gamechat too for some reason.

That is Back4Blood specific, where the developers opted to have even private party chats go through to the game. There is a disclaimer about them recording all audio at the first startup under the purpose of keeping the game safe for everyone. They should have made it clearer that all audio goes into the game.

This was also shown in Kageā€™s plays Back4Blood on XboxEra Twitch stream earlier this week.

Oh ok thats such an odd decision tho.

But the others are an issue cause I just had it in Insurgency Sandstorm.

Yeah. Doesnā€™t make a lot of sense to me. The gamers have already decided to be in private chat, so let them be.

Since my Stadia Pro trial ends later this month I decided to see what else they had.

Borderlands 3.

Itā€™s streaming, so loading times should be near instant, well, the loading times ar the start after the splash screens with Claptrap walking aroundā€¦it takes ages compared to XSX. Itā€™s also far from a smooth 60fps and the input lag is real. And this is at 1080p too.

This is on Edge browser on Xbox, so maybe it would be smoother via chromecast or whatever butā€¦this ainā€™t it chief, not at all.

Streaming is still backed by storage, an SSD in this case likely no faster than whatā€™s in a console.

Should be able to match consumer console, since Stadia should be using enterprise class or better storage, like beyond multifiber data center connections and tons of ram cache for their solid state SAN.

I checked and was bummed also but at the bottom they do say - Weā€™re working to bring the Xbox Mini Fridge to as many fans as possible and will continue to expand regional availability in 2022, pending regulatory approvals and restrictions by market. So there is hope :smiley:

Why are you certain MS will lose money on a handheld?

Win and many other companies have done it with there limited R&D
