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

Was watching a new video by Matty and apparently Xbox Series console sales are nearing PS5? Now I guess we have to take into account that especially Sony is suffering the chip shortage issues, right? But still.

Ah yes, those cursed chumps.

Is it still a chip shortage, as in caused by pandemic, if it’s all related to Yield issues? We haven’t heard what the actual issues are, so it’s anyone’s best guess as to the cause.

According to the analyst as well as the news about producing PS4 to ease the pain in a sense, yes. I know no one predicted the pandemic, but incredible hindsight would say Xbox made the right call on releasing Series S.

That happens when your user name is the primary key in the database. Xbox (and most other sane account services) has an extra mostly hidden id field (its called the XUID) which stays the same even if you change your gamertag. You can look up your own with cakes — XUID Lookup.

hugely bold prediction.

AoE4 comes to Xbox and cloud, and Microsoft announces MKB support for select cloud titles alongside it.

You know, AoE 4 console port before E3 would be a nice way to fill the gaps.

It’s out there and being used. You’ll only notice it on newer rando’s most likely. Though maybe inside a game it won’t display the “#UniqueNumber” postfix on their names?

EDIT: It’s shown and mentioned on the last image –

Two potential titles for the delays could also be the sequel to A plague Tale or even perhaps Gran Turismo. HFW has been in the news often, GT not nearly as much.

This looks surprisingly nice and fun. I might get this. Hopefully my game store here lets me trade in a game and buy the game for 25 euros or so. In that case I’ll trade in Luigi’s Mansion 3, that’s how I got that game too, by trading in Zelda Link’s Awakening.

If I still owned my Switch, I would probably give this a shot as it looks very good and very inviting to play.

…and really disappointing. No day one games (first or third party) equals no interest from me.

If Gran Turismo 7 gets delayed, I would think that it gets announced before Horizon II Forbidden West gets released. Get the bad news out of the way first and then have the good news overshadow it completely. A Plague Tale Requiem is only listed as “2022”. My guess is late August/early September if it releases this year.

That’s why Asobo and Focus were smart to not date the game anything beyond 2022. The game might as well come during the holidays now lol
