XboxEra Community Hangout |OT6| New Year, Same Three Topics

Every day you will be surprised that there are people who think that they are financial experts and planners for future strategies better then Microsoft . while the reality says that the Microsoft games department has become better than before, and their consoles sell more than previous generations

The business speculation is fun but, ultimately, all I want are great and innovative games made as accessible as possible to me and other gamers and prospective gamers. That’s pretty much it.

I don’t particularly care how Microsoft or any of their competitors make that goal possible as long as competition, inclusion and innovation remain strong.

Hoping at least this is good.

Expanse S6 and Ozark S4 Part 1 didn’t do much to me sadly.

Damn . I liked ozark s4 part 1 .

“You always have to be willing to be fresh,” Zelnick said. “You always have to be willing to bring consumers what they want. The minute you try to protect the past, you become irrelevant.”

He added that he’s “thrilled” that Rockstar is working on a new GTA game, and also went on to say that, despite their endless setbacks, NFTs are a legitimate thing. “We believe that NFTs are real, and why wouldn’t they be? We believe in digital goods and we’ve been selling digital goods for a very long time,” he said. “We believe in rare goods, we believe in collectibles. The concern we have is that there’s a speculation going on.”

We are fucked

We are fucked

Things like these, man…

It fucks up my “hype” for GTA 6 even more than it already was, it was already quite low. Sigh.

I really have so little hype for GTA6

Between all the head honcho’s leaving the last few years, RDR2 putting “realism” over the games actually feeling good to play, the constant push for GTA online over the single player and now this nonsense

It’s not looking good

I have a wild suspicious that even 2023H1 will be just as dry on first party releases.

GTA 6 is gonna be online focused for sure, but not necessarily at the expense of the single player.

“Xbox needs a quarterly Nintendo Direct style presentation.”

agreed, Xbox needs a more consistent announcment strategy, even more now with E3 dead.

but this confirms Miles has no Nintendo friends: “Nintendo lets its audience know exactly what to expect and when to expect it.” From wich parallel universe is he posting this

I wonder if Microsoft can integrate some perks for mobile games from King in Game Pass in XCloud thus encouraging people to subscribe to Game Pass on mobile.

Review | Skul: The Hero Slayer [4K]

I did a thing, sorry it took so long.

[PoderickPayne (Travis Norris)]

So my monitor broke and I needed to get a new one, which sucked…except no it didn’t

Ya see my last screen couldn’t do 144hz. Hell, I was yet to see 120fps for myself until today and HOLY CRAP ON A CRAP CRACKER!!! Like, I don’t wanna say ‘I get it now’ because I always got it. I was always a big proponent for higher frames amd understood why 120 and higher had to be such an upgrade and so helpful for certain types of games

Now that I’ve seen for myself…yeah…yeah…fucking yeah. Tried some Psyocnauts 2, Mass Effect LE, Overwatch, Battlefield V, Halo Infinite MP and what had to be the showstoper of them all for 120fps, Halo Infinite campaign. I give it a Speshal Nick “UH…MAY…IZNG”

If you don’t have a 120fps capable screen yet and are on the fence about taking the leap, leap. Like as soon as possible…

I had been telling you to do this for over a year!

By the way, how do you think Sony is gonna market their Spartacus? Especially considering that it is just additional tiers over PS+. Will be very interesting to compare marketing campaigns of Spartacus and Game Pass. Especially outside USA.

Outside the US… Since they actually have marketing here as opposed to Xbox I would guess they would push it as the next big thing, with the PlayStation Quality -stamp on it. Media/casuals and cultists will believe and pretend resepectively that it is vastly superior to Game Pass. They will have so many subs it’ll be crazy.
