What a wonderful game that was, love the realistic approach they went for. I would dream to have it back in next gen. Killing wasn't a joke, killing was extreme in that game, and I love that.

I'm curious, what are the demos on gamepass? is it just the game that is released in episodic form?... I'd be fine with it if we still received Half-Life 2 episodes on a somewhat regular basis.
I'm trying to figure out what he calls demo pass.
You are completely playing dumb here, it's more akin to getting trailers in your paid service.

That's the point...
In-engine: what the Engine is capable of
Real-time: what the Hardware is capable of
But since Microsoft again only tinted big but showed nothing ... I am more and more sure that Sony's way in terms of hardware may be the better one!

Naw, I am talking about games like Anno, Age of Empires, BotW, mod driven Skyrim, minecraft, rimworld, persona4, monster hunter, Total War, Xcom, smash, rocket league, diablo, binding of isaac, spleunky, minecraft, civilisation, or even something like Kingdom Rush games.

To me it was obvious from the begining.
Multiplatform games will look better on XSX. How much better ? We don't know yet.
But best looking GAMES will be exclusives. And even on 12 TF machine, MS exclusives won't look as good as SONY EXs on 9 TF, RDNA1, 2019 PS5.
And no PR-shit talking from Phil,Aaron or other talking head will change that.
Their studios are in pre-dev meaning that we will see their games launching at best in 2022/2023, and they can TRY to compete with SONY. And even then i think MS studios lack of skill and vision. They are not in the same league as SONY. MS can compete with Ubisoft or Bethesda .

I find her video strange, to say i just needed to make this, before i went to bed.
sounds very damage control to me, like she got a phone call saying , we fucked up. Do what you can.
People have limited time, pick fucking quality over quantity.
Jesus Christ i don't go to the super market and just pile in the cheap shit into my trolley just cos its in the store.
Quality always sells, play 10 xbox pass games and forget about them in a week or play a couple of masterpieces from Sony and remember them..................................for ever.

Now that we've seen both events (actually two from MS), it's pretty clear that Sony is much better prepared this time. They have games further along in development, they didn't have to sacrifice support for the PS4 to do it, they even have the better exclusive deals.

XSX is more than likely custom, AMD is ditching any die beyond 36-40CU as it's going for 3D stack. Another reason that might suggest that the XSX die will cost even more?

Yep I've hopped on the Moore'sLaw bandwagon mainly cos he seems to know what he's talking about regarding PCs, but I'm sure his sources for gaming are different. I'm interested to find out whether anything he says is true. If not - UNSUBSCRIBED

You laugh but I'm laughing for not crying. The damn MS conference has cost us all $ 50 or maybe more.
We have run out of PC games from MS because now the important thing is to fill an AA-based service.
This is all very unfortunate. I hope that we can curb all these company policies before the AAA's end up disappearing.

Bo, both chips are custom. Sony saved the die space for I/O and MS went full in GPU compartment, now trying to PR-talk velocity architecture being on the same level as PS5 solution.
Honestly I'm almost sure that XSX is capable of delivering same or better graphic fidelity as PS5.
Funny thing - saying that XBOX ONE WON'T HELD BACK XSX GAMES - it's true when you won't deliver crossgen games in crossgen period xD

One of the best things about the Xbox thread yesterday was a poster getting increasingly incensed about "Sony trolls" ruining the thread by taking the piss and imploring Evillore to take action, and then two posts down Evillore commenting, also taking the piss.

You have a beautiful country BoIt came right during early monsoon season, so it's not problematic although they were a lot. It could be devastating if we tend to be dependent on local wheat which is a small percentage of what's sold locally that's mostly imported from Asia, mainly rice though. Rice/wheat/corn are pretty weak against such flocks but we moved on from depending on those locally, rice was a rarity to be farmed here though but most farms are coconuts, bananas, and other tropical fruits.
A photo I made 10 years ago, still relevant, grass is also critical business to sell for shepherds during dry season:

PS5 having better, more customizable ray tracing capabilities have been rumors and stated for over a year. As a matter of fact ps5 have better almost everything besides gpu and a cpu tht is almost identical to nextbox has always been the rumors.

Come here and I'll make you eat all kinds of meat/fish (chicken if you want). If you're a vegan I'll fetch you some grass.
That's in Saudi Arabia, I think. Every country has something somehow different, but a camel per big plate is overwhelming and it's a rare thing even in KSA and it only results massive wasted food or not 100% clean leftovers for the poor. Around 10-15 years now we've mostly shifted to buffets and it's much better to minimize food waste and provide clean food for the poor as weddings have people in hundreds and sometimes thousands depending on if you're socially active/known. It's funny that some tourists come and eat then try to pay thinking it's some kind of a traditional restaurant, of course anyone can come and eat and go during weddings/funerals.
This is me, the Omani Samurai, after coming back from my wedding in late 2016 if you're interested in our national outfit, mostly that's in special occasions.

Eurogamer : We should talk about how Halo Infinite looks
That's Halo Infinite, a game that must look okay on an OG Xbox One (ugh), PCs up and down the specifications list, an ultra powerful Xbox Series X, and when streamed on a phone. No matter how much I want it to be, Halo Infinite is not about selling Xbox Series X. It's about selling Xbox Game Pass. And its art style is just fine for that.
But it's not fine for me.

As a Greek, I feel the need to flaunt my own
chest as well.
We have some shared history by the way, regarding "Medusa" although it's most likely an exaggerated story of a witch here protecting the frankincense, as our frankincense was a weighed in gold during some old eras and still sacred in many religions like Christianity. The "probably" extinct black python (turns to brown/olive when hungry as color fades away like the Papuan python, which probably was attached to the regions before continental drift). Last 100% encounter in late 1980's twisted a man who got 2 rips punctured his lung, couldn't recover 100% after 4 visits to German hospitals and passed away few years back.
Watch the movie "Clash of the Titans" when they pass through the Arabian desert heading to mysterious green hills. Although it's not how Greeks tried to reach it but through the sea, later settled down in Soqotra when failed to invade the region, I believe. Too many holes in the whole story and would love one day to sit down with a Greek historian and connect the dots.
Is it during the People of Aad? Not sure, Uncharted 3 was about Ubar, I personally reached them with all necessary details to start in 2009, I think, and was shocked few years later when it was released, and didn't put my email back then but was so happy they made the game about Ubar.

Journey touches Ubar as well in a silent approach though, would love more games about our region

Then you were not paying attention. Were would the games come from? Sure they could buy WB or something but even that wouldn't solve much and would require massive investment for a company that seem convinced that GaaS and moderate budget games are the future.
They just bought those studios 2 years ago and most had projects they were already working on (some still yet to release). 343i, The Coalition and Rare are what they are. What we saw is what they have for the foreseeable future.

MS is just gonna have to depend on the value GamePass brings... probably going to have to money-hat some bigger 3rd parties into GamePass to survive.
That conference yesterday was terrible news for them.
ALTHOUGH.. Halo Infinite is still supposed to be a massive game, bigger than 4 and 5 combined. If it's a great GAME.. and they can polish the graphics a bit, that could represent a bit of a comeback.
But it appears they have not much else in the works ready to go any time remotely soon. And some of what they do have in development is from unproven studios.

I don't understand how Microsoft could be behind in the development curve unless they had ended up having to scrap the XSX they were delivering and start from scratch? I mean, both companies have been targeting holiday 2020 for some time now. Are there any rumors or solid information that MS had to do this? I mean it kind of sounds like how some people had spread the rumor that SONY had to scramble and get things moving because the PS5 was initially a 8TF box and when they found out MS was 12 they had to "do something." THAT rumor was obviously BS and I haven't heard anything like that about MS, but I don't know how they could be behind the curve with the XSX unless something like that DID happen to them. ??

I think some of the same things will hurt Xbox exclusives like not being able to get closer to the metal because your games have to run on so many different things
A rumor mentioned that Sony updated their API even more for the PS5. You can get so much more from the hardware when you don't have to worry about it running on alarm clocks

They didn't scrap anything. They probably got delayed in delivering final spec dev kits and the platform isn't up to scratch. But all this is conjecture.

Microsoft still hasn't made the case for Xbox Series X
Yesterday's Xbox showcase failed as a pitch to buy a new games console - but perhaps Microsoft is playing a different game altogether.
