@uptownsoul Different genre, different artistic style and vision. It is supposed to give the player a trippy experience. Also this is an initially crowd-funded multiplatform title and not a AAA next-gen exclusive. As this is creation/brain child of the Tim Schafer I’m expecting a far better story, direction and narrative gameplay than whatever R&C (with it’s same boring formula for story) can ever do.

I thought it would be 2 Petabyte. (jk)

Still makes more sense than Call Of Duty’s size.

@SplooshDmg “Sony doesn’t allow you to play your PS3 owned games disc or digital on PS5 nor does Nintendo allow you to play your Wii U owned games disc or digital on Switch. I don’t see articles about this.”

Rather than always crying about Xbox why don’t you demand for a decent backcompat from your favourite overlord?

@LtSarge What if they use their existing studios and production pipelines and just hire some game devs? Unreal Engine already has some applications in movie production.

@uptownsoul I’m more talking about the headset itself and only a part of the rendering.

@uptownsoul “and outside of PC & Xbox consoles, nothing else can render anything on-device”

That’s not a good assumption. Wait for Apple VR and next iterations of Hololens.

@uptownsoul They just need to maintain 90fps. And parts of it can also be rendered on-device.

He has a dream of Kinect VR experience.

We already have an unbelievable lineup for 2023 and now this.

Xbox has the most diverse lineup and growing more.

They are using Ray Traced spatial audio for FH5.

Xbox SeriesX runs the One X code in backcompat which has higher resolution.

If anyone can create a DLSS alternative it is Microsoft Research team with Azure AI.

Nice exit strategy. Pretty sure they have come out richer from this deal.

@FraserG Don’t bother with them, now they are literally counting on a change.org petition. The salt is real.

That was such a stupid question to ask.

Narcissistic Cannibal.

“Gamepass must be a dream come true for these devs. Makes you think how many applications they must receive for the service. I think game-pass service is what are making these indie devs come forward and call Sony out in their BS, they know game-pass will provide better exposure and sales, they are not afraid anymore.“

This update has improved the PC performance from 30fps to 60fps due to efficient CPU core utilisation. Also they have said the dx12U version will be released after Xbox version.

@Terra Official console never implies exclusivity. It only implies that Microsoft has bought the marketing rights. So it’s not odd.

From Bluebox to Bloober we have come a long way.

@Would_you_kindly I hope Xbox somehow makes this one exclusive. Platforms have not been announced yet.

1800p@120fps

Yeah sure as if that’s a choice.

“Former Xbox Developer Housemarquee”

Marquee who? I don’t think anyone will reasonable enough to put those two words in same sentence. I feel that the next acquisition by MS will be several times more larger and meaningful, Satya Nadella has stated “nobody has our financial might”.
Also waiting for few concerned trolls at Twitter and ResetEra calling this indie acquisition (smaller than inXile for example) somehow bigger than Bethesda. 😂

@endlessleep Bethesda games are developed on PC first until the contracts are signed with individual platforms. Some people should just stop daydreaming only to get disappointed later.

Makes sense as it has a release date of Summer 2022. Gameplay can be shown later this year. Exciting times to be a Xbox fan.

@LX_FENIX Playground has 2 studios now, the other one being the development team of Fable.

@Broosh @101Force The relationship between Microsoft and Valve is so good to the point Gabe Newell has openly admitted his preference of Xbox. Their games are almost always topping the Steam charts.
Regarding Epic, Microsoft is one of their biggest customers. Microsoft has invested a lot on Unreal Engine all these years both directly and indirectly.

@themightyant You are absolutely right. It’s time we choose the words from the marketing very carefully.

@uptownsoul You can refer to their developer interviews where it has been indicated as such.

Waiting for Microsoft to announce their DLSS alternative using DirectML.

@The_New_Butler Yeah just how games like Demon’s Souls was supposed to be possible on next-gen only and now coming to PS4. It takes a lot of time to build true next-gen engines as opposed to the obvious marketing BS. It will be interesting to see now how this game runs on most PCs out there.

@antstephenson Oh yeah you’re right hopefully the experience will be same.

@Trmn8r MacOS allows side-loading softwares just like Windows.

Another upgrade from Xbox that doesn’t cost you extra. Now they just need to expand the supported regions and create a xCloud app for MacOS/Linux users.

@sqxrz They are waiting for Call of Duty’s release date as Phil has indicated.

@Grumblevolcano The only BR in Halo is BattleRifle.

@BrilliantBill It’s the Azure team who has designed the Xbox Series consoles and the new server blades have good encoding hardware (faster than 8 XB1 CPUs I think).

Microsoft X SEGA

@EViLkRi “Fallout 76 was supposed to be something it will never achieve”

That was by an entirely different team.

@Master-Chef 🦄s don’t realise that they are actually giving complements to Bethesda by calling it as good as CGI because it can be easily proved otherwise from the sheer existence of texture popins and frame drops. Pre-rendered CGI can never have those issues only real-time rendered alpha in-game graphics can have.

@somnambulance “I think Xbox does care to create exclusive content, or else we’d have Halo on PlayStation.”

By Xbox ecosystem I only meant Xbox consoles, PC and cloud.

@somnambulance “The Series consoles struggle from a lack of exclusive content”

The series consoles will never have any exclusive content. Microsoft is following the strategy of - play what you like, with whom you like and on the devices where you like. So they are doing away with this console exclusive obsessed sheep mentality which is why I’ve used the word “Xbox ecosystem”. But anyways Forza Horizon 5 gameplay demo easily looked more photorealistic and next gen than any games seen so far from other platforms and seeing the new Halo Infinite vidoc, it’s a long time for the Halo community since everyone was this much excited again for the franchise. These two billion dollar franchises will be selling like hotcakes this year.

@somnambulance Honestly there are way better reasons to invest into the xbox ecosystem than any overhyped Kojima game but whatever suits you.
