XboxEra Community Hangout |OT7| Define "AAAA"

Day 1 was just already released games.

Ah, I see. In the end, Switch is the dominant platform, but that’s a given.

Yeah. I just get a bit irked to see Xbox promote this event and close to nothing on it is actually coming to Xbox.

All the biggest JP/Asian indies shown still skip

Needy Streamer Overload (sold 450k on Steam) - PC, coming to Switch

Little Witch Nobeta (sold about 250k on Steam Early Access) - PC, coming to PS and Switch

Koumajou Densetsu: Scarlet Symphony (remaster of one of the most legendary Touhou fan games) - Originally came out on PC, now getting remastered for Switch and PC

They even showed a game from this developer who’s previous game was on Xbox but their next game is not

I’ve seen at least 2 games here that are coming to Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series, but not Xbox One or PS4… Am I the only one this doesn’t make sense to :sweat_smile:?

Sense of what? Not supporting older platforms?

Games that are coming to the next gen are less likely to skip Xbox Series though.

Makes sense to me as that eliminates at least 2 SKUs and perhaps 4 SKUs that you would have to do Testing and Quality Assurance steps for. When you’re a smaller studio, that is a huge time and resource saver.

Yes, targetting Switch should mean that the game should be instantly playable on last-gen consoles, but those still require settings to be adjusted like what core resolution and refresh rates and special effect resolutions to pick. Its so much easier to throw the game on PS5, SeriesS, and PC and not have to worry about anemic cpu or gpus.

The legend, ZUN (Touhou creator) has appeared

and his favorite indie game in recent years is Outer Wilds

Fact: I have never seen ZUN without that hat on. Maybe it’s not a hat…

The End. Added some interesting stuff to my Steam wishlist, saw plenty to pick up on my Switch. Was barren for Xbox as usual though.

Next one announced, though if you’re looking for Xbox games or are an Xbox only gamer you may as well not watch. I love these though so nice to see the next

I have no idea at all, haha.

Timdog is sort of a community figurehead I guess? (Which is pretty sad lol).

Yeah, if Timdog is our communities figurehead we’re kind of fucked lol.

Geoff is the ever persistent salesman for himself, this time he’s pushing his SGF and Imax tickets.

He participates a lot in console warring? Tim.

Definitely. He was among the obnoxious console war leaders on Twitter last gen with XB1 vs PS4. I guess he’s supposed to have gotten better now but I don’t know.

At least this time Xbox provides much more ammo.

The worst part is that he’s in a discord with the other obnoxious console warriors Xbox and Playstation. It’s literally a hobby to these people.

Must be pleasant
