XboxEra Community Hangout |OT8| Waiting for E3 2023

I really liked the first Nioh (never played the second game) despite not being a fan of the Diablo-like loot. Devs confirming the reduced focus on the RPG/loot aspects of Nioh is great news IMO, also having a jump button this time around will most likely result in more interesting level design as well.

Wo Long having the Nioh director and the Bloodborne producer on board make me really excited to see the game in action, everything sounds great so far. Hopefully we’ll see more at the TGS.

Hmmm, did some checking and it indeed seems May was the last word about Xbox versions, and the tweet does not state if it will be day and date same as PS too. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Sword 7 did come, true. That’s a game I still want to check out.

I still can’t fathom that Xbox has Gunvolt 3 along with Switch as launch exclusive. No PS and it’s a Japanese dev game. What a world this is becoming.

I remember sony showing off CGI and saying it was gamplay. They have a history of doing stuff like and downgrading graphics from when games were revealed.

It’s almost like Sarah, Phil and co are trying to get more Japanese support on Xbox :exploding_head:

Phil and the rest of the team are doing a great job so far with improving Japanese support on the platform! :partying_face:

That infamous E3 with the CGI trailers…oh god. Talk about BS. :phil_lmao:

After Sony released their quarterly report, there’s a sense of peace on twitter streets and in other places.

:joy:

What kind of game is gunvolt ?

Kotaku strike again!

Same. I might go back to it or I might not. I liken the experience to Ecco the Dolphin. A fun novelty that wears thin. Definitely play it since it’s free on PS plus + but also keep your expectations reasonable.

Just got prompted for an Eilte 2 controller update, any ideas?

:joy: It is a truth though

Maybe it auto requests a replacement for as soon as you connect it. I’m about to be on #8.

No idea, but I’ve had a couple normal controller updates this week. I haven’t noticed anything new. It’s probably just some slight adjustments to their wireless protocols.

I’m in the Alpha Insider Ring, but I’m not sure if those get pushed out any earlier. One of them was even on the One X console which isn’t in any insider rings.

I must have a golden controller because ive never had a single issue with mine while everyone complains theirs always breaks.

I’ve only had issues with the face buttons. ‘A’ doesn’t always register, with varying degrees of issues on each controller. For the ones I’ve kept for longer it does seem to get worse over time, but that might be in my head.

Throughout the first elite and V2…

B button barely registering unless I mashed it. RB same story. One came DOA, rubber grips letting loose. And just overall I feel the buttons need pressing harder compared to the regular controllers.

I’ve just had the luck that I always get a new one from this store, amazing.

It’s not wrong and only Nintendo gamers mainly play manufacturer exclusives . It’s why some of these lost wars are pointless because many mainly buy annual games, invest in f2p, or the mega blockbusters
