Question for Tom: Any chance of getting Auto-HDR footage up on youtube so we can get an idea of how it looks compared to SDR in BC games?

Hi all.

This is a question for Tom: As you have been covering Microsoft for a good number of years now, are you surprised as to how much Microsoft has seemingly gone all in on gaming to the point where they have agreed to purchase Bethesda for $7.5 billion, as well as other studios, and seemingly not stopping anytime soon? Is this purely due to Satya seeing the potential of Game Pass in becoming another Office 365?

Also, were people within other divisions at Microsoft surprised when Phil Spencer was installed onto the leadership team back in 2017? I say this because there was a time when Xbox was viewed as the bastard child within Microsoft, although that perception probably has mellowed over the years.

Enjoy listening to the podcast and appreciate it everytime you answer my questions.

Thats going to be a last minute drop to catch sony off guard and the news will travel to all the casuals ears

To add to this, WHEN would be the most ideal time to have an X020 event? Before or after launch?

  1. Thoughts on the Xbox/Gamestop partnership ad how it might affect sales this holiday?

  2. What effect do you think machine learning might have on game tech this coming generation, specifically wrt rpg’s?

  3. The planes in FlightSim have AS-XGS on them, and prior to the name change (from Microsoft Game Studios to Xbox Game Studios) had AS-MGS. Any connection to the rumors you had heard about potential studio acquisitions?

2020:

It’s the podcast tonight. I forgot to post here specifically for community questions - you got just under 3 hours to get some in.

What “Small/Side” games will you be getting to go along with your “Main” games on launch, Bright Memory for example?

After seeing the Watch Dogs XSX with RT scene, how likely do you think we will see RT going forward in games, and why is it missing from AC:V?

Do you feel 343 should be re-organised from the inside to work on a different series of games and give Halo to another studio?

4K UI. If we don’t get it, can we all agree to do an angry protest and moan for 6 months until they implement it?

If we switch our clocks around the house to NZ time, do we get our console a day early?

Will you be watching the live event on the 10th whilst playing on your series at the same time? Sounds a bit distracting.

If it means increasing the 10GB of RAM to 12GB of RAM at 560gb/sec, I would much rather have the UI be 1080P.
