Re: Phil Spencer Explains Why 'This Is An Xbox' Will Be Beneficial To Console Owners

It's the other way around :

What people don't understand from the beginning is XBOX console is a pc. They both use windows and dominated by Microsoft.
You go with an xbox or a pc, both have their advantages.

So why would MS releasing all their games on Pc affect my purchase decision between Pc and Xbox? I already have chosen Xbox console since it is plug and play, easier, more comfortable and I use Linux Mint instead of Windows.

And why would you go for PS/Nintendo? Because you hate game pass ( best game service by far ) and you adore their exclusives.

Re: Xbox Is Making It Much Easier To Upload Your Game Captures To OneDrive

Vidorra

I have an interesting problem :

I use an IFTTT applet to automatically transfer videos uploaded to my onedrive account to my telegram account so that i can share it easily in the group with my friends.

But IFTTT has a limit of 20mb per file for that action, and 720p 15 second clips are usually above 20mb so i have to trim them.

I need 10 or 12 seconds capture option to solve my problem, why not?

Re: Review: Matchpoint Tennis Championships - The Sport's First Xbox Game Pass Title

Vidorra

I played this for a few hours yesterday. I did training and some online matches. I like tennis and such a game was surely needed. Even though I had fun I need to point out that this game feels like a beta version. Here are some cons that I remember:

Cons (on series s ):

  • screen tearing and graphical glitches
  • crowd is generic and lifeless
  • no doubles play
  • Players' walk is not natural
  • when I won the point to make the games 6-5 the commentator thought that it was the matchpoint
  • character creation is severely weak, there was no short hair option for example
  • volleys are weird
  • there is no online leaderboard, ok I have an Elo Point after playing 3 ranked matches but where does that puts me? Am I ahead of many players or not?
  • We don't see the Elo of our online opponent. It would be good.
  • The graphics are not looking like 2022, more like 2012
  • Player animations and sounds are not good enough, Top Spin 4 was better now that I'm watching a gameplay video of that game
  • The moment the match ends I would expect to see more excitement and at least a handshake with the opponent to make it more realistic

Conclusion: I am happy to play this on gamepass. Is it worth $45? No! We need an AAA tennis game that deserves that price tag. I hope a big studio starts developing a great tennis game. Microsoft Tennis maybe
