XboxEra Community Hangout |OT8| Waiting for E3 2023

Exactly which is why people that assume PlayStation will create a PS5 streaming app are going to be surprised when Sony doesn’t. Xbox has this cloud territory completely to themselves probably for the entire generation.

Sony despite investing earlier in cloud haven’t proven they’re taking it seriously, maybe if it proves to be a successful market they will. Meanwhile MS face competition from GeForce Now, Stadia, and Luna. Not completely to themselves although I wouldn’t be surprised if they get to #1 there comfortably

I wonder if Nvidia will make a move into gaming eventually. We can probably write off Stadia for now. Amazon also is a question mark.

Sony are already struggling massively with their stock situation

I cant imagine how bad it would be if they started using their chips for cloud servers, probably part of the reason Sony are taking the traditional gaming approach and pushing it as long as they can

They dont really have another choice

Without the games and content your cloud services are kind of meaningless, GeForce doesn’t have the content/exclusives and Stadia already gave up that fight

Luna have only produced a couple titles of value but between having a prime service that they could use to introduce cloud streaming to millions upon millions of people they seem the best equipped to take on MS, I also wouldn’t put it past them buying a publisher like EA or whoever else

Then there’s companies huge companies like Tencent that are getting into it which also have the games now

I guess Sony decided to throw some additional consoles to Japan (guess they did not like the headlines last week :joy:) Still 300 consoles the difference between PS5 and XBS this week.

Also it seems like Xbox sold 1.5k more for each Xbox model this week in comparison to the previous one. Very stable growth for Xbox.

expecting the Series consoles to reach 1 million sales (at minimum) lifetime just in nippon land.

I’m not typically political, but the Supreme Court wants to take away democratic rule next session and the states ability to do anything about it:

Please please please call your reps while we can still do something. This is startling, worrying, scary.

Kingdom Battle was basically like Mutant Year Zero. Free roaming outside of the combat encounters and once in combat, it’s a grid based turn based strategy RPG.

Sparks of Hope seems to be a big area in which you can do battle but it’s still turn based.

Yeah, just saw that a few minutes ago. If everything lines up, this is my September to December game list -

  1. The Last of Us Remake - 9/2
  2. Steel Rising - 9/9
  3. Evil West - 9/20
  4. A Plague Tale Requiem - 10/18
  5. Gotham Knights - 10/25
  6. God of War Ragnarok - 11/11
  7. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - 11/18
  8. The Callisto Protocol - 12/2

Literally, I would have 8 games in a span of 13 weeks. Shit is ridiculous.

Series S has a sale on Amazon in Aus, $399 AUD or $275 USD which is a nice number, it made it jump up to 11th on best seller and no other console is in the top 100 lol

I cannot co-sign this enough! SCOTUS is hampering citizens it deems unworthy from being able to vote by reinstating these districting maps, and now this! Added to the litany of decisions that are objectively bad for a democracy and a world facing the no-return point of climate change, Democrats - especially Progressive Democrats - have to win during the midterms. I’ve been saying the Republican party has been sliding into the same patterns as Hitler’s rise to power, since they embraced the Tea Party and Trump, and we’re seeing the rotten fruits of that ultra-conservative/fascist embrace in real-time.

Destin speculating that based on a post in January we might get TC’s next game sooner than we think. It’s an interesting video.

Have fun man :pray:

for me its

  1. TLOU remake

  2. Plague Tale Requiem

  3. Gotham Knights

  4. GOW:R

  5. The Callisto Protocol

Oh, I definitely will. Hehe. Just need the date for GOWR and Avatar be official so I can plan out my gaming schedule based on which games will be physical purchases and which games will be digital purchases.

Great list. 5 games in 13 weeks is definitely more manageable.
