Starfield. Never really expected much going in as everyone kept saying Skyrim in space and that didn't excite me at all. The showcase just tickled me in places that I was not expecting.
Avowed, Obsidian has never missed for me and Outer Worlds length in a PoE world is going to be great.
Fable, not much to say other than the Forza Engine is very powerful and hope to see Xbox studios make more use of it. Maybe Halo ?
InExile, Wasteland 3 is pure magic but just from the graphics and world from what they showed with Clockwork has me pretty hyped for their future.
Not a dig at the consoles in any way but it all boils down to the laptop cpu being used in the Series and PS5 consoles. It's okay and has always been this way for console, compromises have to be made for an all in one box that cost 500.
Removing global illumination would help and maybe will be patched in the future but for me I just completed Zelda totk @30 and it was one of the best games I have ever played.
Wanna go after a company about frame rate issues ? Start with From Software.
@Kaloudz Shew without a doubt it will be the most discussed topic here and social media over the next few weeks. I do enjoy it when we have something ABK worth discussing but for the sake of enjoyment this was a fun article on a slow news day and that is ok too 🤣.
Having downloaded the 4k video and examined it thoroughly it is clearly in engine footage with snippets of game play running 1800p with fsr2 upscaled to 4k with global illumination and rti enabled. Frame rate comes in at around a almost locked, sometimes, possibly hitting 33&1/3 j/k
Game looks amazing ! Can't wait to kick chickens and cutt some farts with that young lady 💪
This is such a Xbox move. They had a fantastic game show and show cased some brilliant games and then they thought having one of their biggest IPs single player content tied to the internet would be a fantastic 💡.
@themightyant think folks might be reading too much into "collections" comment. Very well be talking about the collection of games they had to show. Phil has some troll blood in him 💚
So for the kicks of it I had to read the comment section. It did not disappoint lol.
Not hating on anything but things like this never really bother me but I'm sympathetic to those impacted. Only advice one can offer is get a PC. These laptop apu from 2019 are not that powerful, add global illumination and physics engines running bonkers in the background and we have a bunch of upset gamers. Don't make yourself miserable or miss out on a game because the graphics or framerate is unacceptable to you.
Now a pc wont fix broken games (Lou/Redfall) but you have more control over the quality/fidelity.
Looked amazing to me. The people complaining must have never played the originals or forgot what the characters looked like, Fable was never about photo realistic characters or worlds.
I'm gonna guess Xbox is feeling pretty good about what they got to show considering they have paid to rent out movie theatres and including $10 for each persons snacks/drinks
On a scale of 1-10 im sitting at a very mid 33.4 . If Hellblade 2, Fable and Avowed have gameplay it is a very easy A+ for me. Anything else is just a few scoops of Ice cream
@BAMozzy All good. I just feel using a Halo as an example is a penalty MS has paid. 343 screwed the pooch on that one for sure. But if all they have is in game footage of Everwild or Sod3 I wanna see it lol. Just don't make it on some super pc by a 3rd party,. That is wrong.
@Kaloudz lmao I "feel" they will deliver. Hellblade 2 release date with gameplay.
Fable Avowed and Indiana Jones gameplay would be epic !

Re: These 10+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (June 19-23)
Got Sonic Origins preordered so look forward to that and the Aliens game looks fun but sadly I just dont have the internet for it.
Crash Bash will be day one once it is under the umbrella of mother Microsoft 😘

@Solidchief which with the power of Todd they may find them 💚
Re: Poll: What Score Do You Think You'll Be Giving Starfield In September?
@Kaloudz. Some people get offended if you enjoy doing something they dislike. It's ok and I enjoy these articles more so than another Abk tit for tat
Re: Poll: What Score Do You Think You'll Be Giving Starfield In September?
If everything works as intended and based on hype alone its a 10.
That said I'm not building sh** ! Pirates life for me
Re: Xbox's Matt Booty Has Played The Perfect Dark Reboot And Is 'Very Excited'
@Scummbuddy awesome update ! Hope ms gets the chance to purchase CD and Tomb Raider IP at some point.
Re: Xbox's Matt Booty Has Played The Perfect Dark Reboot And Is 'Very Excited'
@Scummbuddy. Embracer sold the IP to Amazon and they are funding a tv show and a new game that will no doubt be a multi-plat
Re: Would Activision Be A Good Fit For Halo? Xbox's Matt Booty Shares His Thoughts
Machine games story telling and gunplay would be magic but imagine they are swamped right now.
Would like a Reach/Odst from Treyarch or Infinity Ward complete with Zombies !

@SBandy1 +1
Re: Forza Motorsport's Career Mode Is Always-Online, DLC Plans Detailed
Understand the mp but it is unforgivable to require a constant internet connection to play what is essentially the campaign .
Have a sneaky suspension Starfield might have this too.

@SuntannedDuck2 The psvr2 problem is for Sony to fix not on Ubi. I'm guessing some will get put on Sony headset.
Re: Redfall Patch 1.1 Out Now As Developer Provides Update On 60FPS Mode
With some of these improvements might give it a 2nd try. The 60fps was never a thing for me but the bugs and AI was just awful
Re: Where To Pre-Order Starfield Constellation, Premium Editions & Special Controller And Headset
Guess a controller and one of those hard drives would be great.
Re: Avowed's Scale Will Be More 'The Outer Worlds' Than 'Skyrim', Says Obsidian
This is a fantastic news to me, Outer Worlds was nearly perfect in size and scope for me.
Re: Starfield Will Run At 4K / 30FPS On Xbox Series X, 1440p / 30FPS On Series S
If this game did run at 1080/60 the exact same arguments would be made. Most powerful console, Greenberg said 4k, 12 t-flops etc lmao.
Redfall is a 1st person shooter, no comparison to Starfield and Zelda is a very large open world running on a tablet, again no comparison.
Re: The Creative Minds Behind Persona Are Making A Full-Scale Fantasy RPG For Xbox Series X|S

Re: Fable Looks Jaw-Dropping With First In-Game Trailer
Looked amazing to me. The people complaining must have never played the originals or forgot what the characters looked like, Fable was never about photo realistic characters or worlds.

Re: Poll: How High Are Your Expectations For Sunday's Xbox Showcase?
@Banjo- exactly ! He is probably the reason Konami took a break from console gaming. Had to be exhausting dealing with him lol
Re: Poll: How High Are Your Expectations For Sunday's Xbox Showcase?
@Banjo- Yeah I can see that and whatever he is working on will be stunning to look at. Might be boring or some whack story but it will be gorgeous.
Wished Platinum was given half the budgets he has gotten

@UltimateOtaku91 I'm just over Kojima, for me he peaked in the 90s 🤣

Pretty excited for that P5T ! Now if they can manage to grab Shin Megami Tensai it would be perfect
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Summer Game Fest 2023 Showcase?

Warhammer, Like a Dragon, Sonic, Path of Exile, Lies of P, Alan Wake 2 and putting a date on Spiderman for those who want it. Easy A imo

Re: Xbox Game Studios Won't Show Any 'Full CG Trailers' During 2023 Showcase
@BAMozzy All good. I just feel using a Halo as an example is a penalty MS has paid. 343 screwed the pooch on that one for sure. But if all they have is in game footage of Everwild or Sod3 I wanna see it lol. Just don't make it on some super pc by a 3rd party,. That is wrong.
@Kaloudz lmao I "feel" they will deliver. Hellblade 2 release date with gameplay.
