Wizard101? That’s a name I haven’t heard since before I was a pre-teen, almost 15 years ago at this point. (Just a few years before I started using NLife, too, heh.)
Time to put me in assisted living with the other “Unc status” folks, I guess. 😂
This update definitely reads like the game was not supposed to be shutting down anytime soon, but that it’s rather an unfortunate casualty of Ubi’s mismanagement and financial desperation.
It’s so, so sad that they’re in this position, especially seeing as so many of us grew up with their games and IPs, and losing Ubi to mismanagement would be the end of an era.
I can somewhat understand not stating the name of the executive in question in the title of the article, but not stating it even in the subheading feels designed to get clicks in an uncomfortable way.
@NeutronBomb how does the movie setting affect positioning? I had always thought game modes for audio focused much more on positioning and accuracy than the others?
Why remove the green accents from the headset just as you add the green accents to the console? Also, insofar as the price being higher, does that come out the same, just with an Atmos license added in?
Maybe I’m reading too much into this, but anything Xbox decides to sunset at this point (hello, Ambassador Program) feels one step closer to the sunsetting of Microsoft creating consoles as a whole.
“It is what it is, and it's the way of things these days”
It really, really should not be. That kind of monetization may be acceptable in Free-to-Play games, but it is absolutely not when you’re already paying between $70 and $150 for a game. These giant publishers are going to keep pushing further and further, because nothing matters to them except extracting as much money from each individual as possible , over as long of a time period as possible, and throwing our hands up by saying “oh well, this is just how it is now” achieves nothing except complicity and an openness to even worse microtransactions.
@NostromoXP the point I was trying to illustrate was that a game like Tears of the Kingdom is running on hardware that is all but comparable to the Xbox 360, whereas trying to run something like Halo Infinite (even downscaled severely) on the Xbox 360 would be nigh impossible.
An article about Starfield and two-thirds of the comments are about Nintendo games. 😅
For the record, I don’t get how anyone can call _Tears of the Kingdom _ ugly. Sure, it’s artistic, and it’s not comparable to something like Assasin’s Creed, as an example, but it’s also not running (solely) on a portable game console that is effectively 7 years old. That’d be like expecting Halo Infinite to run on an Xbox 360!
@Decimateh Yes, any Game Pass plan that includes Day One releases (Console and Ultimate, afaik) has pre-order benefits for the base game, including the option to get Vault Edition (ugh, I hate that name) benefits for a one-time charge of $30.
Since my disability affects mostly my fine motor skills, I use an Xbox Elite controller with the profiles to create my own southpaw modes in games. However, it would be even easier still if gyro usage was an option.
As an example, I remember being unable to actually play COD4 at one of my friends houses as a pre-teen, because even though the game had a southpaw control stick option, the buttons would still be in the same places. Just a few years later, however, with the introduction of Splatoon, Nintendo created a shooter with gyro controls as the primary input. Especially on the Wii U where controller layout changes were rarely a thing, those gyro controls were the only reason it was possible for me to play the game enjoyably. Still to this day, the fact that the right thumb stick only controls horizontal movement is a benefit to me, and is the reason that even gyro in Fortnite (on PlayStation) doesn’t work the same for me.
Also, the Adative Joystick does look like a nunchuk, to the point where I was describing it to someone as “it looks like a Wii nunchuk”.
They raised prices without technically raising prices, in a way that’s not dissimilar to Apple effectively raising the price of their highest end phone by getting rid of the lowest storage tier.
@NEStalgia don’t forget Game Pass Starter, Game Pass Home Basic, Game Pass Home Premium, Game Pass Business, or Game Pass Enterprise. Also, please remember that in a year or two, Game Pass 7 will be replaced by Game Pass 8 and 8.1, and none of your old Game Pass devices will be compatible. If that’s not confusing enough, Game Pass 10 will soon be introduced, and then be shut down because developers chose the more popular platforms.
I can remember how back in 2011 or so, I was at a friend’s house after school one day, and they were playing one of the Forza Motorsport games on the Xbox 360, and listening to music on the Xbox at the same time. As I had only had a Wii and Nintendo DS/3DS, this blew my 12-year-old mind.
Fear forward a few years to around 2015 or 2016, and I was at GameStop for I don’t even know what. I specifically recall, however, that there was an Xbox demo station with some Forza game (that I now know was one of the Horizon games), which I played a bit of and was once again blown away by.
Around half-a-decade later, in 2021, I decide to finally ask my dad for an Xbox for, I think, my birthday or something. My justification? That racing game from the GameStop demo in 2015 or so. So, in the end, Forza Horizon is what brought me to the Xbox*, and a few weeks later, I finally tried Halo for the first time in my life, and of course I was blown away.
*I also remember a demo for Super Lucky’s Tale, which is a game my mom and I have both enjoyed many times over in the time since.
@Kilamanjaro Since you mentioned the Switch, remember the backlash when they added the NSO icon to the HOME Menu? For all Nintendo’s faults, their restraint in embracing modern technology has proven beneficial in more ways than one.
@Kilamanjaro The recent Talking Point article about the Series X/S dynamic backgrounds got me thinking about how it would be so much better to just remove the row of advertisements at the bottom of the screen, leaving just recently played games.
Yes, it’s very similar to the PS5 at that point, but I’m of the opinion that the PS5 Home Screen is not that bad at all, especially with the full-screen key art and the music that certain games have when in their tile creating a splash screen of sorts, in a way that’s only really ever been seen with Nintendo’s software on the Wii and Wii U.
I understand there’s most likely very lucrative advertising deals for Xbox in those spots along the bottom of the dashboard, but as a concession, and with all the talk about an ad-supported Game Pass tier, why not make it a benefit of Ultimate that there will be no ads on the dashboard. It’s an extremely small move, but seeing as Ultimate is the same price as ad-free Max (formerly HBO Max), it’s not an unreasonable expectation.
Personally, I want less stuff rather than more. I really hate that huge store tile that replaced the games and apps tile. Sure, the Microsoft Store is an essential system function on Xbox, but in the context of the tile’s location on the dashboard, we’re basically forced to have a full-width row of ads visible at all times.
@IOI It’s so weird how Geoff Keighley basically runs the whole circuit now. At least with E3 the presentations were done by the publishers themselves. Now it’s just ego feeding for someone who seems like kind of a prune.
I don’t know how accurate this theory actually is, but what if Activision combined the games into one launcher because the ‘good’ aspects of Call of Duty as a franchise are split across three games: MW2 (campaign), MW3 (multiplayer), and BO6 (Zombies). 😔, I wouldn’t put it past them…
@somnambulance Such a true statement. It’s remarkable to me (in a very bad way) how quickly the Overton Window in gaming has shifted from “microtransactions are unacceptable” to “you give us $20 a month for games and we’ll give you a discount on even more things you’ll never actually own” and the consensus of consumers being closer to “🤷🏻♀️” than “😡”.
As much as another delay isn’t great, even though it is completely understandable with all these guys have been through, I like this particular trailer. It’s incredibly self-aware, humorous, and uses seemingly in-game footage, with seemingly in-game UI elements, to explain share news about the delay.
I’m somewhat worried that the feature may using the “manage content” part of the system that already exists, since some games don’t seem to support that option.
Three comments in and all of us are on the same page? Neat.
Having not grown up with Halo, and only getting into the series about half a year before Infinite released, and as such not having quite an emotional connection to the Bungie games as some, I feel pretty strongly that for as much as Halo Infinite has good gameplay, in trying to appeal to the “twitch shooter” market (CoD, Apex, Destiny), 343i seems to have lost some indescribable thing that made the original trilogy great.
@eastephens I will forever hold that “ahead of its time” was the whole story back during the original Xbox One reveal. For better or worse, always-online, check-ins, and digital-first gaming are all commonplace in the industry now. Even things like multitasking with Snap, watching TV on your game console, and the voice-activated features of Kinect, are alive and well in modern gaming, with several commenters saying they use their phones for additional things while gaming, streaming services playing a significant role in Xbox’s platform (and PlayStation’s, too), and the presence of voice assistants (Siri, Alexa, Gemini, etc.) in our lives today. The Xbox One effectively set the standard for modern gaming, but it was definitely ahead of its time. About the only thing we don’t have today from that presentation is the one thing that could actually significantly benefit us as gamers: the ability to sell, share, and trade-in digital games.
” That mode is called Big Team Battle: Sentry Defense, which is playable across six maps (Fragmentation, Highpower, Deadlock, Oasis, Scarr and Command).”
It’s unfortunately very telling as to the state of Halo Infinite that there’s no more than six BTB maps, three of which are from launch in November 2021, one of which is from March of 2023, another of which is from June 2023, and the last of which is apparently actual new content.
I was trying to get some of the demos from the other article using the web store, and when I would go to purchase one, it would either tell me an error occurred or tell me I have to add credit card information, even though the cards are already on my Microsoft account?
I got this exact message for the first time the other day. I’ve also been targeted by a few different scams on YouTube, Telegram, and WhatsApp recently, especially after one of my family members received a scam message and another nearly fell victim to the same scam.
After watching the Direct, I am irrationally excited for the ability to finally move the mini-map to the bottom left. Now I won’t get disoriented when moving from Halo to CoD and back!
Isn’t GAME just the UK version of GameStop? A lot of what the comments above me are saying, particularly when it comes to the store being mostly not about video games anymore, is very true of GameStop here in the US.
