Re: Arkane Founder Says Xbox Shutting Austin Studio Was 'Stupid' And 'Not A Good Decision'

I personally thought the Dishonoured series was overrated. I've repeatedly tried to play though the games and I get both bored and frustrated. And the problem with Redfall was the game was barely playable and the developers didn't seem to care and just thought someone else would fix it. Redfall was likely the final nail in the coffin, in my opinion. One of the developers actually said "I can't believe they shipped it out was it was", implying that they expected someone else to fix and polish the game.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 19-20)

Just finished Like a Dragon the man who erased his name, now started playing Doom Eternal again. Nice that South Park Shattered is on game pass since I can play it on my series S. Just finished Hellsinger on the ps4 after previous finishing the x1 and series versions with game pass. The last trophy I need is the torments but It's glitched and I have to replay the torments until it unlocks.

Re: Xbox Series X Vs. PS5 Pro: What Are We Missing Out On?

What difference? What I see is the ps5 graphics looking not the best though the video and the different they are showing between the ps5 and ps5 pro is marginally, I think the ps5 looks a bit better then the ps5 pro. And it seems that on the ps5 lots of games drop the resolution to 30fps for better performance and only achieve 60fps with a drop in graphics. And the improvements are only showing small clips from 4-6 games.

Re: Microsoft Says Native Xbox Cloud Gaming App Remains 'Impossible' On Apple Devices

Hear is what I don't understand. Sony has Playstation app which allows you to purchase ps4 and ps5 straight from the app, so long as you have a ps4 or ps5 linked to your account but MS don't allow you to purchase games directly from any Xbox app. MS does allow you to stream games that you have installed on your primary console. Sony doesn't allow any like that but instead insists you buy a PS Portal to stream games from a ps5. I don't understand how Sony is able to sell Playstation games on the Iphone in their app without paying Apple a fee? But MS doesn't want to sell subscriptions on mobile devices, I get it, but why can you buy Xbox games on the Iphone?

Re: Talking Point: Does Microsoft Have A '30FPS' Problem With Its Xbox Series X|S Output?

I believe the problem is trying to get games running at 4K and HDR10 and at the same time running at 60 frames per second. Older games might be at 1080p or 720p and can easily do 60 frames per second because their is less they have to do and they likely copy anime/ cartoon animation to render the games. And seriously how many people can actually see a noticeable difference without using video software to check the frame rate?

Re: SEGA Confirms Partial Delisting For OG Sonic Generations On Xbox

This is what frustrates be about digital games. I don't personally care about preserving games forever but I do find it frustrating that the digital games can be pulled at any time by the publishers. When a developer or publisher creates a new remastered version the older version almost always get removed from the digital store. And sometimes it is removed from one console but is available on another console when it basically the same version. Or even DLC that is available but a few years later it's removed and unless you bought it when it was available you can no longer purchase it, ever.

Re: Reaction: Microsoft's Constant Tweaking Of Xbox Game Pass Is Becoming Exhausting

Rodimusprime13

I find that the value of game pass is kind of overstated and it all coming soon rather the what currently available. Like the EA games are nice, but it's largely sport's titles and EA titles are only available 3-6 months after release. I might find 1-2 titles out of 10 I check out that I actually want to play. Most of the "good titles" are time consuming and are often better to just buy rather then try to finish it on game pass. For me the best part of game pass is to check out the full games and see if I actually like the game. Then it's can I finish the whole game in roughly a day, then I'll just play it on game pass. If I like it, but I'll take over a week or so of playing to finish it, perhaps I wait until it goes on sale and just buy the game. I thought Redfall and Atomic Heart would be good games, after seeing them on game pass I realized they were a hard pass.

Re: Digital Foundry Explores Why Some Games 'Run Better' On PS5 Than Xbox Series X

To me what matters is how the graphics look and how smooth the frame rate is. To me you don't need every game to support every feature in 4k and have 120 frame rate, it just needs to look nice and smooth. What I have found is the Playstation is better with slower graphics transitions like Asendia Rising and Sonic Plus, but for action oriented games like Devil may Cry, Witcher 3 I always prefer the Xbox.
